working out the road tax by the
coming together OF squads of farmers
with shoyels and wagons. but without
order or system still prevails; that
throughout the farming community
sentlMent exists of opposition to
the raising of taxes from the farms for
the accomplishment of this just and
necessary work; that farmers in the
legislature have opposed systems of

Now, therefore, in consideration Of
the advantages enjoyed by the coun-
try people In having their mail de-
livered at their doors. and OF. the In
creased value OF their farms by such
accommodation, this convention ex-
presses the hope that this large class
Of our population will commence the
agitation of this question by creating
a general interest on the subject so
thai public sentiment will concentrate
upon this movement until the results
so important are secured.
Resolved. That the postmasters OF
the state, wheth0r members OF this as
sociation or not. whose Offices are dis
tributing points for the rural mail, be
earnestly requested to agitate the
question Of road Improvement through
ont tho farming districts SO highly
favored with daily mail.
Resolved, that the co operation of
all classes Of our people is most ear
nestly requested that the citation of
this matter may begin anew, that
while hitherto muoh cons deratiOn has
been given to the subject, nothing
practical has been accomplished.
Resolved. That the secretary of this
be directed to send a copy
of these resolutions to both branches
OF the next legislature.

TO AWAKEN WHEN YOU WISH.

From The St. Louis Globe Democrat.
We hear 1t frequently asserted that, II persons
will impress the thought firmly upon their minds
and continue thinking about it until they have
fallen asleep that they desire to awake ut
tain hour IN the morning. they will do with
out fall DR.. Joseph L. Boehm tells me, but
how many people have tried this method OF in
morning only to find their rest throughout the
night disturbed and uneasy?
1.-THE brain will usually respond to the Will and
awaken ono in the morning near the desired hour
under any circumstances. but to prevent the
broken uneasy sleep the adoption of only very
simple device Is necessary. The last thing before
getting into bed. take watch clock and turn
the hands TO the hour at which one wishes to rise
and gaze at this just long enough to fix the hour
firmly on the retentive memory. Then II other
bing thoughts intervene between that and the
moment one is locked in slumber. the nights rest
will be easy and unbroken, and promptly at the
hour in the morning. a rule. one will find
ones self released from sleep and wide awake
There is no need to keep thinking OF the hour
tinually for a number of minutes, no need to re-
peat II over and in tho mind; all this makes
the brain uneasy and results in the disturbed SUM
bAr. Simply look at the watch or clock, as have
Indicated, end the influence of the mind over mat
ter will be clearly demonstrated in the morning
