keeps In stock two different grades, one at 50

II you want cheap goods you will surely
find them at l.. w. Whites. Those white
lawns more than a yard wide at cents yard
cannot be matched anywhere. We have sold
already more than fifteen hundred yards OF
them.
l.. w. White always carries an immense
stock OF cotton goods. His prices are as cheap

spent one-half day In the church OF

the ground where Christ was crucified
and buried, also the grave of Adam,

The church is large, many stories
high, has several domes, and caves
under it. Four sects own it and SOL
diers are stationed here also to keep
them from fighting. Only last year
three men were killed here in free
for all to settle the question as to who
had right to sweepit out. The sep
ulchre:of the Virgin Mary. the tomb
of Absalom, the pools of Sloan and
Jove and many other places were

BURDEN OF BAD ROADS.
Vast Expense They Annually Place
ON the Farmer.

Vast Expense They Annually flace
on the Farmer.
In a country as large as that In
which we live, with the greater part OF
its producing regions widely separated
from the markets which they serve,
the matter Of transportation is one Of
vast importance, writes Hon. Martin
Dodge IN Forum. This applies particu-
larly to our agricultural products; for,
while great portion both Of our man
ufactured output and of our farm
growth must be moved long distances
by rail or water before reaching mar
ket, practically all of the latter must
also be transported for greater or less
distances over the public highways.
The question Of marketing these agri-
cultural products, amounting in the
United States to S1,000,OOO,OO0 annual
ly, on terms that the dealer can afford
to pay and the grower to accept, often
reduces itself to a question Of cheap
and quick delivery; in other words, to
q question Of economical transporta-
ton.
AS far as the railways and steamship
lines are concerned, this problem has
been dealt with very intelligently and
satisfactorily. Skill and money have
been applied without stint to the pro-
vision Of enlarged means Of convey
ance, improved ways and increased
power. These influences, under the
stress of strong competition, have re-
duced long distance freight rates to a
reasonable level.
There is one phase Of this transporta-
ton problem, however, which has ap-
preached no satisfactory solution. That
is the matter Of wagon road haul. AS
has already been said, while the great
er part Of our farm products travels by
steamship, canal or railway for por-
ton Of the journey to market, virtually
all of them are conveyed for some dis
tance over the public. highways. 1t Is
unfortunate that this is often the most
expensive part Of their journey. 1t has
been shown by mathematical demon
stration that it costs more to move a
bushel Of wheat or ton Of hay ten
miles over the average country roads
Of the United States than to transport
the same burden 500 miles by railway
or 1000 miles by steamship. 1t has
happened many times In different parts
Of the country that farmers have let
crops go to waste because the cost of
hauling them to the nearest market or
railway shipping point over wretched
and i'll kept roads amounted to more
than could be realized for them after
ward; whereas, If good roads on which
heavy loads could be hauled had been
at hand, the same crops could have
been marketed at small profit to the
producer, while the economic gain re-
sulting from their application to useful
purposes would have been very consid
cradle.

Men of Wealth Interested In High
way Improvement.
Men Of wealth are ev1ncing prac-
tical interest in road improvement for
the benefit of their fellow men. George
Gould has offered to bear one-third Of
the entire cost Of the improvement Of
the public highways in the vicinity of
Lakewood, N. j.. and Colonel ]. j. AS
tor has spent large sums on the roads
near Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Recently Harley T. Proctor, a sum-
mer resident Of Williamstown, Mass,
offered to give the town $4,000 for
the improvement of the roads, provid-
ing the latter raises $4,000 for the
same purpose. Mr.. Proctor makes the
gift because he believes that better
roads would Increase the popularity Of
Williamstown as a summer resort. He
recently had the stone hill road put
in excellent condition at cost Of $500.
The town furnished the drainage pipes
and permitted Mr.. Proctor to use the
road scraper.
