THE NATIONAL GRANGE WANTS
GOOD ROADS.
Demands the Aid of Uncle Sam and En-
dorSes the Brownlow Bill.

They do their thinking first and their
talking afterwards. For some reason
the farmers of this country have
been reading and thinking about
road Improvement and the best way
to secure that much desired result.
They have considered local taxation
and labor as the mea of building
good roads, and have found this long
tried plan to be a failure except in
limited localities. They have studied
the State-aid plan and observed the
great advance made under it. Final
ly they have been studying the ques-
ton of national aid, and they appear
to have concluded that at is the way
they long have sought and mourned
because they found it not" At any
rate that fine, conservative old farm
ers' organization, the Patrons of
Husbandry, commonly spoken of as
"The Grange" in its national meet
ing at Buffalo a few days ago came
out with the following strong and
uneQuivOcal declaration.
"Whereas. The United States Gov
eminent has expended vast amounts
of money in the improvement of
transportation facilities by river and
harbor appropriations and has do
mated vast tracts of valuable land in
aid of the construction of railroads;
therefore. be it
Resolved, That the National
Grange favors the Inauguration of
a national policy for the improve
ment of highways, and the a%ppropria-
ton by Congress of a liberal amount
TO establish a comprehensive system
Of road improvement through the
cooperation of the Federal and
State governments, suggesting that
the general features of what is
termed the Brownlow Bill embody,
with some notifications. the essen
tial features of such a policy.
"Resolved, That we call upon all
State, Pomona, and Subordinate
Oranges to take prompt and vigor-
Gus action upon this important mat
ter; and we hereby authorize the
Legislative Committee of the Ma
tional Grange to inaugurate and con-
duct an aggressive campaign in Sc
curing Federal aid for Improvement
Of highways. Also that our Legisla-
tive Committee be authorized to
gather all the information possible
regarding the road laws and systems
of road building in the several
States, and that such information be
published in such form as the Com
mittee deems best.
These resolutions will set in mo
ton a vast force that moves slowly
but irresistibly; for it must be re-
membcred that the National Grange
usually gets what it goes after
whether it is a State freight rate
law, the creation of a National De
partment of Agriculture. or the pas
sage of an oleOmargarine bill. This

Homemade Rural Mail Boxes.

A Perry, Iowa, correspondent
writes:
"Is there any law to compel a III
raj mail carrier to put mail in a
home made box, when he refuses to
do so unless the patron buys a pat
ented box? Our house is only forty
feet from the road"
A couple of years ago this same
question came up and the postal au-
thorities gave us their ruling, as fol
lows:
First. There must be a certain
number of patrons on a proposed
route or else it will not be estab-
lished.
Second. Every patron on this route
must have a box of some kind in
which his mail can be put and in
which he can place mail for trans
mission.
Third. If the patron wishes to be
sure hat his mail will not be tamper-
ed with, he must have a box which
the key that the agent carries will
unlock but which can be unlocked
by no other key except the one in
possession of the patron. If he wish
es to run the risk of theft, any kind
of box, so far as we can ascertain,
will do, but if his mail should be
stolen he must not complain of the
government. He assumes all the risk
and "Uncle Sam" has nothing furth-
er to do with the matter.
AS to the kind of box, "Uncle
Sam" insists only on one thing; that
his key must unlock it. There are
fourteen different makes of boxes
which he has examined and approved
and it does not make any difference
to him which of the fourteen kinds
are used on any route. It is evident.
however, that it will be better for all
the patrons on one route to use one
kind. The So paid for a box, and
this seems to be the price at which
they are selling generally, is simply
for security, and it is certainly a
reasonable price to pay for a box
which our Uncle aforesaid can un-
lock and nobody else but the patron
himself can.-Wallace's Farmer.

bles showed steadiness, but were with
out special feature. Our market open
ed at few points advance and was
quite steady during the first hours
trading, but later the advance was
lost. There has been TO evidence of
new business to-day, the trading being
entirely professional and local shorts
covering in view of the approaching
holidays. 1t is apparent that the
month of June will close with proba-
bly, the most favorable conditions pre-
vailing for many years past. Private
crop reports received to-day fully con-
firm the favorable conditions reported
during the week. We do not look for
material change either way for the bal
ance of the week, and regard the spec
ulation in the market as largely re-
duced.
The Journal of Commerce issues a
crop report. making conditions about
3la points better than last month. 1t
is generally expected that average con-
ditions to be given by the Agricultural
Department next week will be upwards
of IS. We think a condition of IS is
practically discounted, and inasmuch as
we think a large part of the short in
terest has been covered. lower prices
next week are likely to occur.

New York June SO-The cotton fu-
ture market to-day was quiet. There
was considerable mixture of sentiment
during the day, and many of the pro-
fessionals were inclined to scalp the
market. The conditions were so thor
oughly conflicting. however. that the
conservative interests in the pit were
rather nervous. and they were not dis
posed to do very much either way. II
was pointed out that the crop as a
whole is now in a rather critical state,
and with the holidays IL was figured
that important developments are like
ly TO ensue at almost any day hence
there was a disposition I'm many quar-
ters TO reduce commitments over the
holiday interval. The weather condi-
tons were generally quite favorable.
and the crop situation continued quite
satisfactory according to the bears. The
bulls. however, found some basis for
support in the reports Of lice and boil
weevil in some parts of the country.
and under the circumstances some OF

New York Thursday, June Soon
sdering the decided change that has
taken place in the tenor of the crop
news from the Atlantic states, the
market held very steady during the
greater part of the day. That the
change has been decided can be seen
from the actual figures of rainfall
the last forty-eight hours, some
places having as much as three or
four inches Owing to the drought, It
is undoubtedly true that cotton plant
in these sections in it's effort to OBJ
tain moisture extended its tap root
so far below the surface that with
recent rains, the condition of the crop
will be even better than would have
been the case with frequent showers.
1t does look as though conditions were
shaping themselves for a bountiful
yield as rains come just before serious
damage is done. While the market
held very steady, this was probably
due to the approaching holiday and
the fact that the government report
comes next Tuesday. There is some
uncertainty over what that report will
be and traders do not care to sell
short very extensively before the hol-
iday. There was some short cover
ing and with a fairly steady Liverpool,
the market ruled quiet, but not weak
Now that the rains have fallen. there
is not very much incentive to buy in
anticipation of higher prices, and in

port, the market is likely TO sag off

featureless, with fluctuations on only
a point or two. The sentiment is grow
ing that we are around the bottom,
and unless the government report of
the 9Th is very bearish, little further
decline may be expected, but that, on
the other hand, there will be a good
rally on slightest news. The business

usual setbacks that the crop sustains
in July and August may be counted IN
as sufficient for the trade to attempt
to discount it's effect; we would, there
fore, favor buying on all recessions.
