Promoting Good Roads.

1t is gratifying to know that the ma

of Pennsylvania appropriated the enor-

provement throughout the State for the
next six years. 1t matters not whether
the bicyclists and automobiles or the
farmers are urging this legislation, it
is in the general public interest, and
the appropriation, honestly and judi
ciously expended, will do wonders for.
the development of Pennsylvania.
Good roads may be said to be the basis

Slamese jungle and throughout India

collected from these trees by the SIM
PIE process Of making longitudinal
scar1f1cations in the bark, from which
the coagulated milk is taken in long

years old will yield four pounds of
RUBBER annually Of a quality which
could be sold in London at about 90
cents per pound, but this price appears
to me to be trife exaggerated.
The other rubber-producing plant
or known commercial value Is creep
er OF great size, probably one Of the
urceola (either U. esculenta or q.
eastlca), although from certain de-
scriptions l am sometimes inclined to
believe it to be a Willughbeia. These
creepers, whatever they may be, yield
fair quality of rubber, produced by
cutting them into sections two or
three feet long and collecting the
juice, which is subsequently boiled for
moment in water and Immediately
coagulates into viscous mass, which
has to be dried by smoking over ire
before it can be handled. The bark Is
also used, and upon being pounded
and boiled gives about 10 per cent of
rather inferior rubber"

Problem for Good Roads.

For years the editor of this depart
ment has been a staunch advocate OF
good roads, particularly in rural dis
tricts, because it was plain that with
good roads farmers would be able to
market their products more quickly
and with less expense. Since the adj
vent of the automobile the question OF
good roads becomes a more serious one
for the farmer. City owners Of autos
are most insistent that rural roads be
improved, so that they may have the
benefit of them. AS they do not bear
any share of the expense, this is a
little selfish, to say the least. But the
more serious part of the question, and
one with which the farmer should deal
with firmness, is the regulation OF
speed on the part Of automobile own
ers
Farmers, as rule, will not object
to the autos on the rural roads, but
they do object when these ponderous
machines are run so recklessly that 1t
is unsafe to drive along these roads.
In the very nature of things, the horse
and the auto may become acquainted
sooner or later, and the owner Of an
auto on country roads should recog-
nize the fact that country horses are
not yet familiar with their machines
and govern the machines accordingly
Farmers will be justified In urging a
law which shall give their rights as
residents, taxpayers and horsemen full
recognition as against the automobile.
In other words, law should be on the
statutes in every State requiring not
only reduced speed on country roads,
but more than the usual recognition of
the rights Of horses.

to have confessed to being the leader
of a gang Of little girl burglars. They

charge of stealing two rings from the
residence Of Levant Stevens. The little
girl said she had entered the houses and
informed the women that her mother and
father were dead, and had asked for
food, and that while waiting for food
she would ransaek the room. The police
claim the parents of the child are to
blame, and that she is a degenerate. The

1t was about 8 o'clock when he left
there. From that time nothing is known
of him until he was found dead two

accepted is that of murder. Daughs had
recently sold his farm and had been paid
about $1,000 in cash. All but $3.50 of
this amount was deposited in the bank,
but there is no trace of the remainder.
1t was estimated that he was worth be-

years old and has been living Oh this
farm about twenty years. He lived very
