MONEY FOR GOOD ROADS.
Pennsylvania Court Has Decided
That 1t Must BE spent to Bring
About improvements.

The action taken against the super
suburban county to compel them to
repair the roads is in accordance
with the purpose of the law ON the
subject. 1t is not often any such
step is taken, but it will help along
the good roads movement, which, in
spite of a great deal of talk, lags
unreasonably.
The courts have held that super.
yisors are punishable by indictment
for neglecting or refusing to repair
a public highway. Without reference
to this particular case, the merits
of which are yet to be ascertained,
it is well known that the duties of
supervisors are very indifferently
performed in too many cases. Some
of these officials are far from COM
petent, others do not care, and there
are plenty of instances where the
whole trouble is due to lack of means
to put the roads in proper condition.
Badly made in the first instance,
cons tant attention and work are re-
order. This has to be done on a very
small tax, and very often that is
worked out by the property owners,
but too frequently on their part more
to work off their taxes than to make
the roads what they should be.
The need is of resources to prop
erly construct the roads in the first
place. The expense of keeping a well
made road in repair from year to
year is insufficient, and can be easily
done under the present system il
directed by supervisors at all COM
petent. To get the means to con-
struct good roads some of the town.
ships in counties in the eastern end
of the state are proposing to create
a loan. One of the townships of
Montgomery county voted in favor
of this few weeks ago, a majority
of the citizens understanding the
advantage of it, The policy of
municipality borrowing money for
public improvement of this charac-
ter is proper one within reasonable
limits
Most townships can well afford to
take that course, and few of them
will ever get really good roads until
something of that kind is done. The
interest paid on the borrowed money
will be tritiing in comparison with
the benefits returned to all the peo-
pie. 1t would be the means of in.
creasing the value of property, make
life in all the districts more pleasur-
able and do away with the yexation
of repairing over and over again, al
most as frequently as a violent storm
occurs, roads on which repairs are
practically futile.
The lesson has yet to be learned
that money expended in making
roads with proper foundation is in
the line of economy, and it is better
to borrow the money for such i'm.
provements than never to have them.
The present policy is too much
makeshift.- Philadelphia Press.

THE NoTCHING BOARD.

inch thick. Notch it as shown in the
illus ira ton, having the middle notch
exactly half way between the notches
on the ends. Place the center notch
against the stake where the tree is to
be planted. then set small stake in
each of the other notches.
When ready for planting, dig up the
center stake and prepare the hole for
the tree. Then in setting the tree,
put the nOtched board in position with
the end notches opposite the two other
stakes. Set the tree so that the trunk
will rest in the middle notch. This
will insure an absolutely straight row
both ways. The device is so simple
that it hardly seems necessary to de-
scribe it. Many, however continue to
have crooked rows simply because they
have not thought of this plan.-Orange

These, like cabbages, have so strong
an odor that they are unfit for storage
in the house cellar. They keep fresh
est and in incest condition if pitted,
and instead of covering first with
straw, cover with earth, allowing it to
sift through among the vegetables all
it will. Then when there is danger
of too much freezing use the straw or
manure, and a second covering of
earth if needed. They too are more
tender and crisp after a good freeze,
but better to hold them thus than al
low them to thaw and freeze again

No doubt because of the grandeur
of the thunders torn, the. brilliant
flashes of the lightning and the loud
noise of the thunder, the large major
ity of the human race is timid and nerv-
Gus and stands in fear of lightning.
Notwithstanding the common belief
that lightning is very dangerous the
total number of persons killed in a
given summer in this country is ex-
tremely small in comparison with the
population. The number also varies
largely from year to year, the la st
year having witnessed an unusual num-
Der of deaths from this cause. The
general average seems % be about one
death to 100000 of the population each
summer from lightning. Thousands of
people struck by lightning have been
allowed to die for lack of attention.
The rule is that artificial respiration
should be brought about at once. The
clothes should be loosened and the
well-known movements of the arms
and chest made to bring about natural
breathing.

Oats ms Feed for Cows.

Oats are a greater producer of
milk than corn, when fed to dairy
cows. They contain more protein and
are not so heating. The COW rarely
tires of them and they give delicious
favor to the milk and an aroma to
butter. Users of oats claim there Is
nothing that can be fed to cows so
continuously and with such beneficial
results. The question of their use,
however, must be regulated by their
cost.-G. ii. Marsh, in Farm and

suited in a tragedy last night. 5.

two shots at a supposed burglar and
narrowly missed a neighbOr who was
sitting reading in his home. one of the
shots went through the house of J.

The supposed burglar was pTOwllng
about SpeuCer's place, and Spencer, OBJ
serving him, and taking him for a bur,
glar fired at him twice. The burglar

rudely disturbed him while he was en-
jOying a book. 1t was embedded in a

ward returned to Parts. has Advised the
French government all about the Crsw-
fords. whom be formerly knew vhlle living
In C~ovington.
Frank Deveneck, an artist In Cincinnati,
who resides Ia Covington. and knew the
Crawfords, has gone to Paris to assist IN
the investigation vhlck hsr hes7 started
by NJ. Katin, rho is now in the employ Of
the French government.
-Four Crawford brothers lived IN CoViDg-
ton until the early SOS, when they left
there. and two Of them went to Paris. The
French government has information that
they may be the men named in the golden
sealed and impressive-looking document ex-
hibited by the Humberts to the great nnap-
clers.
The brothers were John, Henry, Matthew
and Robert. John died years ago, leaving
three brothers. In the early SOS Henry
went to Kansas City and was city clerk
there. Matthew and Robert went abroad
and are supposed to have lived In Parib.
Every circumstance indicates that they are
the men whom the Humberts named as the
nephews who we're contesting the Crawford
will and who were preventing the Humberts
coming into possession Of the great estates.
The Crawfords were considered a wealthy
family in Covington and II was understood
that they had a rich uncle. The story as
circulated by the Humberts to the bankers
is practically the story of the important
events in the lives Of the Covington Craw-
fords.

BALLIETT is FOUND GUILTY
Convicted of Using Nails to Defraud
After Having Two
Trials.

DIES MONIES, June 5.-Leston Balliett
was found guilty of using the mails to de-
fraud this afternoon, the jury returning a
verdict at 3:25. But a few moments prior
to rendering the verdict the jury had asked
the court for instructions as to whether
It should take into consideration the de-
PENDANTS acts previous to the date of the
indictment. The court stated that he had
admitted testimony to that effect. The
jury then retired and remained out only
ten minutes.
Judge Munger gave the defendant until
June 20 to make application for a new
trial. argument for which will be heard
In July.
This present trial Of Balliett was begun
on May 20 and has continued without delay
excepting one day, when a Juror was Ill.
A former trial, started last November, was
terminated by the death Of one OF the ju-
rors, so this was virtually the second trial.
In instructing the jury the judge stated
that II was not necessary to prove that any
person actually was defrauded by Balliett;
that 1t was not essential to know whether
Balliett told the truth or not in the circu-
lars which he sent out or to show any at
tempt to defraud; that 1t was necessary for
the government to show that 1t was the
intention to defraud at the time the letters
complained OF in he Indictment were
mailed, and not subsequent thereto, and
that II his intention to defraud came after
he mailed the letters he should be found
not guilty; and. furthermore, that 1t was
not necessary to prove that Balliett was the
originator OF author Of the letters II he
was a party to the attempt to defraud.
