New Home of the News.

While in Ritzvile Monday the Leader
man called upon the Adams County
News in its new home-a one-story brick
building recently erected for it. The
new News Office is beyond doubt one OF
the incest country print shops" in the
state. The business office is large, ele-
gantly furnished and decorated with
Editor Gilson's superb collection of pic
lures and curios making it veritable
curiosity shnn. A double door on the
south sidet--- IS to a cosy little billiard
roonl.f At the rear is the composing and
press room combined. 1t is conveniently
and neatly arranged and besides plenty
of windows has large skylight making
for the printers, the finest kind of place
to work. When the paper moved to its
new house, steam power and Cranston
cylinder press was installed. The office
is credit to Ritzvile and the town
should be proud OF it. A. c. Cummins
formerly with the Leader, is now doing
the heavy work IN the art department OF
the NEwS.-Lind Leader.
We smile our broadcast and prettiesi
smole. Tanks. Editor Haas is a gen.
tleman, scholar and fine Judge OF

For Better Roads.

w. p. Brownlcw. congressman from
Tennessee, has introduced bill which is
now pending in Congress for the appro-
priation of So. 100000 as national aid for
the building of wagon roads and i'm
provement of those already built. The
money is to be distributed according to
the population of the states and Wash
ington will get $4,000. The bill also
provides that each state or county receiv-
ing the money must appropriate like
amount for the same purpose thus insur-
ing the expenditure of 100000 on
roads in the United States. From 100 to
700 miles of road can thus be built in
each state. The bill will come up in
Congress in the next three weeks. 1t is
to be hoped this bill will become law
and the farmers should favor its passage
in every way. The rivers and harbors OF
the country receive an annual appropri-
alton of So, 100000 and this is the first
money spent nationally which favor any
but seaboard states and cities on the
coast.
In support of the Brownlow bill as a
general measure, attention is called to
the fact that France has 23.6o3 miles of
wagon road. which are built and main.
tanned by the nation, and Italy about s.
900 miles, while many OF the states of
the Union spend hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars annually in aid of highway i'm
provement.

Deeds of Kindness.

"Johnnie Appleseed," an eccentric
fellow who travelled through Ohio and
the west in the early days Of the GEN.
fury, was SO called because OF the fact
that wherever he went he planted
appleseed which he carried with him,
and in after years many hundreds OF
people resped the benefit OF his act,
in the enjoyment OF eating the fruit
from the trees he planted. The acts
OF peculiar "Johnnie Appleseed" may
be copied by people of today, in the
scattering of the seeds of friendship
and benevolence as they pass along
the journey Of life. There are many
unnocupied spots in hearts of those
who surround us, aud with whom we
come into contact; where good seed
may be planted, that in after years
will bloom and bear fruit Of the most
excellent kind. Everyone should bear
in mind that they will pass this way
of life but once, and whatever oppor-
tunity OF good they nave neglected
to do in passing is lost-we can never
retrace the journey and plant seed
where we should have planted it when
the opportunity was present. 1t il
true, as some one has said, that the
best portion Of good mans life lie
that in which his little, nameless, I'M
remembered acts Of kindness and love
are wrought.
