CHEFOO, March 10.-It is reported
here that Japanese forces have APP
peared at Fung- Wang Chan, forty-five
miles northwest of Antung, the Rus

A report reached Pratt county, Kan
sas, where prairie dogs abound, that they
were fine eating. Experiments were
made and it was found the rumor was
right. Since then the depopulation of
prairie dog towns has gone on at rate
that promises the repeal of the bounty
law and the substitution OF an act for
prairie dog protection. Why shouldn't
they be good eating? Squirrel meat is
considered great delicacy, and many
are fond Of rabbit. Like the squirrel
the prairie dog lives and fattens on roots,
grains and herbs, and is more delicate in
its food than is the rabbit. Why should
MT its meat make good food? And from
tiersmen who have been forced into test
ing it say it is very superior. But the
name ''dog" is against it.-Exchange.

lieve such methods can survive IN this

A fve-mile stretch Of good road in
each county Of the state would do more
for the movement than any other pos
8sible thing. Such road, properly con-
structed to stand against the elements
and hold up under heavy traffic, would
be an object lessons of the greatest val
ue. The farmer hauling load over five
miles Of scientific road and another FIVE
miles Of mud, would rise up and de-
mand the transformation Of the bad
five miles.
That is the sort Of thing a highway
commission is designed for. 1t would
send competent road engineers to super
wise county road-making and substitute
permanent roads for annual patchwork.
The farmers Of the state can afford
to have good roads. They cannot af-
ford to be without them, and when
they once see and understand they will
demand the best, even if the first cost
is greater than their usual road tax.
If they. will take hold Of the matter
thru their local associations, and .slet
the legislature know how they feel,
good roads will become a fact and not
theory in Minnesota.
It is about time for definite move
forward.
