GOOD ROADS m CONGRESS-
Why Government Should Aisia
Building Highways.

Next to Fanama and the canals. the
subject OF good roads appears to be the
leading question before congress this
winter. In fact, the Panama question
had to stand aside while Senator Lat
inner made speech on his good roads
Dill. He is the junior senator from
South Carolina, and an enthusiastic
supporter of the government aid prop
osition. The scheme outlined in his
Dlll Is quite similar to that of the
Brownsow bill which is now occupying
a large share of public attention. Each
bill cal ries an appropriation Of 81, 000.-
600 to be used during the next three
years, and each provides that the fed
eral government may aid in the inn
provelnent Of the roads to the extent Of
one-half the expense; but the Latimer
bill places three commissioners in
charge of the proposed bureau of high
ways instead of one director.
Senator Latimer's speech was clear
and convincing. He discussed the Ques-
ton along the usual lines He answered
the charge of unconstitutionality" by
citing the fact that congress had ap-
propltated and the government had
spent many millions for road-building
in the early part of the last century.
He also pointed out that the govern
ment continually uses the public roads
as pestroads and argued that it was not
only constitutional but just that it
should help to construct and maintain
then.
The South Carolina senator sunlmar.
lied the arguments for national aic
as follows: 80
FIRST. Because the history of road
builcing demonstrated that complete
system of public roads has never been
constructed in any country except by
the aid Of the general government,
Second. Because the revenues OF the
government are raised largely upon ar
ticles consumed by all of the people,
thereby distributing taxation equally,
and as all the people could contribute
to the construction and improvement
OF the roads, il Is only by federal aid
that thiA can hes accomplished. sas
i Third Bscauie it is the duty of
the federal government to bear its 4ust
proportion of the expense for the con-
sstruction. and Improvement of THE
roadsawhich it uses for the delivcrY of
the nails and for military purposes In
time of war. s,fA
Forth. Because better roads are a
natioaai necessity; they closely con
Germ she general welfare of the nation,
and are therefore a proper object OF
natio aal aid. So
Fifth. Because a surplus of about
$500 zoe, 900 is lying idle in the treasury
which belong to the people and should
be expended for their benefit in man
ner which will accomplish the greatest
good to the largest number. %t4&

Beauty Counts for Much

A beautiful and valuable farm across
the way at one time could only be ap-
preached by a weed-grown lane. 1t
was bought by Woodworking farmer
with little surplus money. but plenty
of determination. BY = little thought
and work he changed the bare front
yard into attractive, park-like grounds.
He hauled gravel at odd times, and set
out a row of shade trees along the
driveway. Smoothly-clipped sod took
the place of the weeds along the lane
TaAen altogether his place now has an
air If dignity that it did not possess
at oae time.-Farm journal.

The Morning Glory Pest.

An Indiana farmer writes the Chi
cago Record-Herald that he considers
cattle the best destroyers of morning
glories. He says: Pasture such
field by cattle; they are fond of the
leaves and vines, and will not allow
the roots to send out a mass of long
INTERVENING vines, but will nip the
plant close to the ground, killing the
vitality of the roots in one or two sea-
sons. Another way is to seed such a
field in grass. This should be sown
with nurse crop, which ought to be
cut for hay. The next years hay will
contain very few morning glory vines;
the third year none, provided the
grasses used contained a good proper
ton of such grasses as red top, or
chard grass or bluegrass. The grasses
kill the pest

To Fool His Cows.

Frank Leidgen, who lives northeast
of town, came in one day in search of
green eyeglasses for his cattle. OF
course our men who deal in glasses were
forced to give it UP as a hard PROPOSE
ton. When asked why he wanted his
cattle to wear them, Leidgen replied:
when in the pasture the green glasses
will make the grass look green and the
cattle will think it is spring and the pas
ture green" It is true that it has not
rained in that part of Oklahoma for
some time and the grass is very dry. We
have patents on everything we can think
of but patent eyeglasses for cows.

THE FARM TELEPHONE.
Dakota Experience Proves That II
Has . Commercial as Well
a. q Social Value.

The chief uses of the telephone in
rural neighborhoods- In the east prob
ably, are neighborhood sociability,
making appointments for meetings and
calling the doctor. Communication
with dealers in produce is also posi-
BILE, and many a farmer is thus enabled
to. decide just when to deliver such
merchandise to advantage at the near
est market. A North Dakota paper de-
clares that such means of keeping
posted are especially valuable to the
wheat growers of the northwest, This
is the way In which that journal talks:
1.-THE encroachment of modern ia
cilities on older methods Of doing
business is strikingly exemplified in
this part of the northwest this fall
These days Of private telephones and
telegraph lines to every station and
almost every big farm throughout the
state have brought the farmers into
touch with the terminal grain markets
Of Duluth and Minneapolis in such a
way as to cuchre the country elevator
lines out of all chance of profit by adj
vance information. Often the changes
in quotations at either Duluth or Min
neapolis are in the hands of farmers
at their homes within ten or 20 min
utes after they have been made, and
in some cases elevator companies hav-
ing country line houses have found 1t
difficult to keep even with the farmer.
This is especially the case with long
continued advance or decline.
"a farmer will store his grain in
the country house nearest his farm,
and as long as prices advance or re-
main stationary he will let it stay
there, taking storage ticket, which
he leaves with a friend in town or at
the bank. Being in close touch with
the terminal markets by telephone, he
knows at once of any change in price,
and if it is q decline he at once tele-
phones to the bank or his agent to sell
at the old price, and this is done so
quickly that the sale is often made be-
fore the country elevator has received
word by wire from Duluth to make
change in quotations. In that case the
elevator line is out the difference in
price, as it has to sell its grain on the
terminal market at once"
