Good Roads.
From Life.

1t is easy to understand how the automo-
bile helps the good roads movement.
Farmers cannot but observe that the bet
ter they make the roads. the faster the au-
tomobiles go and the bigger these are.
If there is one thing a farmer enjoys more
keenly than another it is hauling his crops
to market over road where he, Is likely

The City Beautiful.
From the Montreal Star.

That beauty adds to the value of a horse,
or a house, dress, or even of girl,
seems to be generally recognized, but some
how there seems to be no adequate recog-
milton of the fact that it pays to make a
city look attractive. A good deal could be
done in the way of identifying Montreal
simply by imposing a few reasonable re-
strictions to prevent people from disfigur-
ing it. There should be some limit even to
a mans right to make his own house as
ugly as his bad taste suggests. The most
valuable contribution the civic corporation
could make to the identifying of the city
would be to make and keep the streets
clean. The prettiest face is seen at a great
disadvantage when 1t obviously needs soap
and water, and it is impossible to associate
the idea of beauty with city the streets Of
which are dirty.

New Water Plans Adopted.

Webster Groves is to have the most

THE last Leg stature pas ed four

already proved to be very effective in
adjusting differences between capital
