TDHE education that fails

very practical is not worth
the time it~teok to procure ii:
Is;gstso an inferior quality of
education a man possesses,
who finds it necessary on all
occasions to exploit the fact
that he has it, and has to tell
where he got it. If a man is
possessed of education that is
worth anything at all, the
quality and the quantity will
manifest itself without much
effort on his part. The most

cultured are usually the most
modest, and most considerate

would not surprise US to hear
that President Roosevelt was

sT is sincerely to be hoped
the recent rise in the
price of cotton, occasioned by
a shortage in the crop, re.
sulting from the ravages OF OF
the boil weevil in Texas, will
not have the demoralizing et-
feet of causing overplanting
of that staple this year. 1t is
we'll enough to bear in mind
the fact that the advance was
due to a short crop. Raise
everything for use that can be
produced on the farm, and
raise some for market, and

GOOD ROADS.

a HAVE noticed a great
deal written lately about
the mud and bad roads, and |
have several times bee1 tempt
ed to write about the public
highways in Germany how
they are kept up, and when
they are mostly travelled
Then there are from thirty to
sixty feet wide, allowing am
pie room for vehicles to pass
each other.
No one is allowed to drive
across the road into a field ex-
cept on crossings that have
been established by law.
On every little stream the
road crossesis made a aculvert.
This is always considered the
cheapest plan as it will last
indefinitely.
After a new road is built it
is kept up by men who are
paid a small! salary annually,
each man being required to
keep up certain number of
lniles-in a level country from
ten to twelve, and in hilly
country three to four. An
annual road tax is collected to
pay all current expenses.
Unlike. in this country where
the man who travels the most
pays the least road tax, over
there the man who travels
most pays the largest tax.
The men who keep up the
roads are required to be on
duty every day. They have
their station houses built near
the road and they keep a
record of all the travel, every
owner being required to print
his name on his vehicle.
| can assign one reason for
our roads being in such bad
condition and that is the fact
that the greatest amount of
travelingis don in bad weather
when the roads are wet. The
reason of this is that most of
the people here live from,
hand to mouth and depend on
getting their supplies from the
nearest market, while in Ger
and also in the north
western states of our country
the necessaries of life are
raised on the farms.
Another item to be con-
sidered in the wear and tear
of the roads is the large
of commercial ferti-
lizers handled over them the
use of which has tended to
impoverish the south. Even
in a thickly settled county as
Germany there is not as much
hauling done over the roads as
,ere.
There the road machine is
,sed for grading only. Rock
Ind gravel are used plentifully
n building the roads. and
specially in wetplaces, grav-
i sometimes being hauled
welve miles. No rock larger
han a hen egg is allowed.
Every road-man is. supplied
With a wheel barrow, pick,
nd a pair oftwo-pointed steel
ock hammers. When ever
little rut is made it is imme. c
lately repaired, which illus
rates the saying "a stitch in
ime saves nine. I
In looking over the last
uarterly report from the
upervisor it seems to me our :
expenses are right large, and |
he results so small in improve /
,ent to the county. My idea |
f a supervisor is to have a
ood man appointed and pay
i'm sufficient salary so he can
i've all his time personally tol

DECISION ON LANDS.
Widows of Soldiers will Have to

Washington, Dec, S.--To uullify at

to obtain public lands IN violation OF

department that widows or minor or
phans Of soldiers or sailors do not have

which affects u large number OF cases,

entry on land In the Broken Bow dis

under an agreement with the Standard
Cattle company, whereby Mrs. Bowes
