both needs to speak for attention.
Town and city people who get their all
to eat from the farms have a money
as well as q social interest in Sood
roads. The subject is importAny 10
every calling and condition. and when-
ever voice can be raised in its favor
it should be done. Wherever a news
paper is published its columns should
be invoked in arousing public senti-
ment. No means or method of reach
ing congressional attention should be
neglected. Let us have a reawaken-
ing and a thorough shaking up. Con-
gress will not go ahead of the people,
as has been wisely said, but congress
will hear and heed the people. Send
petitions and memorials to each indi-
vidual senator and representative in
congress. Write personal letters to
them. Make the demand as right
belonging to the people. Herald 1t
from the housetops and in the streets,
in the highways and the byways.
Make it strong. Make it pointed.
Make it earnest. This is a government
of the people; it belongs to the peo-
pie; the people have a right to be
heard. Their voice is as it always has
been, omnipotent.
I know of no surer way to the sue
cess of the movement for national aid
to good roads than through agitation.
1 know of no more effective way to
agitate the subject than that suggest
ed. Those who favor national aid can
do much to strengthen it in congress
if they will. and 1 have crudely out
lined what l consider the best method
of reaching the desired end. Let
every friend of the good roads ma
tional aid movement get busy-from
the center clear round to the sea.

years NJ. Laurie, a Paris dealer, Of

it badly, but Edward hesitated too
long over the price. The king admir-

to Davis. 1t was shipped to Bucking-
ham palace, where it remained until
the day before it was sent to America.
Mr.. Davis paid $3.50 for the pic

one knowing Rembrandt as being ex-

in public by Mr.. Davis, and Americas

their best theory of the art of paint

TERRIBLE SNAKE OF INDIA.
Reptile That Attacks Any Other Liv.
ing Creature.

A few days ago serpent-eating
snake or king of serpents (Ophiopha-
gus elaps) was found swimming in the
water of the Royal lakes at Rangoon
and was killed. before it could endan-
ger the safety of the people sculling
on the lakes.
1t is among the most interesting of
our venomous snakes, and the only
really aggressive member of the ophi~
dians, readily attacking any man or
animal that happens its way. The fe-
male is especially irritable during the
season of modification, and as the
adult snake attains a length of IL to
Is feet, is superlatively swift and ac-
tive, and possesses a poison fang three
inches in length and charged with
very powerful venom, it will be ad-
mitted that Ophiophagus elaps, naia
bungarus or serpentavore, as it is also
called, is a foe that had better be
avoided.
While being neither an arboreal nor
a water snake, the Ophiophagus elaps
climbs trees with facility and takes to
water readily, swimming with great
ease and skill. Its poison is as deadly
in its effect as that of the lesser hood
ed snake (the ophiophagus elaps also
carries the hood) the cobra; but it is
believed that the action of the venom
is not quite so rapid
The shortest period within which it
proved fatal to a fowl was IA min
utes, while dog expired in two hours

Congressman Brownlow of Tennes-
see, the author of the National Good
Roads bill. and one of the foremost
workers in the cause of good roads
in the world. writes as follows on the
subject in the Good Roads Magazine
for July;
1t has occurred to me to say to. the
friends of national aid to good roads
that 1 am in receipt of information
from all parts of the county of the
most encouraging character, and car
rying assurance that the subject has
firmly fixed itself in the minds of the
people. The sentiment in its favor is
growing stronger all the time, and
feel more today than ever before that
the movement will ultimately be sue
cessful.
National aid to good roads, as a
plain, practical business proposition.
has more meat in it for the general
welfare than hundred river and har-
Dor bills or the requirement of any or
all new territory to the be found be-
tween the rivers and the ends of the
earth. The entire constitutionality Of
the proposition is now almost univer-
sally admitted. and the necessity for
it in all parts of the country is so
urgent that congress cannot long re-
fuse to recognize it as a national obli-
CATION.
The continued and continuing force
Of the movement, however must de-
pend upon The people themselves. The
people are sovereign under our sys-
tenn. Here they make and unmake
men. 1t is occurring every day. The
popular will is the commanding force
in republic like this. The right of
petition is a recognized principle of
our government. If the people de-
mand national aid to good roads, ma
tional aid to good roads will come
The man and the hour will arrive to-
gether. There can be no two opinions
about that.
The commercial bodies favorable to
some such legislation as is proposed
in the Brownlow and Latimer bills
should strongly address themselves to
the work. 1t is more important to
them than any other probable public
measure could be. Every trade union,
local board of trade. farmers organi-
zation and other defined body in the
country should take like action. In
counties throughout the union public
meetings should be held and the pop
ular will expressed in formal memori-
ais to congress. 1t is, too perfectly
legitimate subject for church and
school authorities to be heard upon,
because church and school interests
cannot thrive as they should thrive
in a land of impossible roads.
Railroads are interested, and should
be heard. because good wagon roads
increase the tonnage to be handled by
railroads. Manufacturers OF all sorts
of road vehicles, whether horse or
motor, and of every kind and char
acter of farm and other machinery
have much at stake in the success of
the movement. The stockraisers, fruit
growers and dairy interests are all in
volved. because the wagon roads are
their means of communication. Law
yers and doctors and the clients of

Williamson Is Unrnffled.

Yesterday Congressman Williamson
spent the day with his family in The
Dalles, quietly resting in preparation
for the hard week that awaits him,
says The Dalles Chronicle. Judging
from his pictures which have appear
ed from time to time in Portland pa
pers, his friends here had concluded
that these land fraud trials were cal
culated not only to rack a mans
nerves, but-to wreck his good looks.
Our congressman, however, must have
left his court masque in Portland, as
no change was visible in his appear
ance.

CANADIAN PEA CROP.
Average Annual Yield of the Dominion
13.77O.243 Bushels.


The pea crop is one of the most inn
portant in Canada. In the Province
of Ontario alone the average area de-
voted to peas for the 20 years ended
with 1902, was 71O,49S acres.
The average annual yield during the
period named was 13,77O,243 bushels,
or an average of 1914 bushels per acre.
The greater portion of this crop is fed
upon Ontario farms.
In striking contrast with the mag
nitude of the pea crop in Canada is
its significance in our own country.
While the area devoted to peas in On
tario until quite recently was not far
behind that devoted to winter wheat,
the pea crop in this country is so in
significant. relatively, that it has not
been given a fixed place in the gov
cInment crop reports
In Minnesota ii is not mentioned
in the year book OF statistical returns,
and the same seems to be true of near
ly all the states in the Union. Great
advances, however. have been made
during recent years in growing peas
in Michigan, Wisconsin and Montana
and other mountain states.
No other grain crop. except perhaps
oats, can be devoted to so great a
variety Of uses. The grain is pos
sessed of a relatively high feeding
value, and the same is true of the
straw, as will be readily apparent by
reference to the chemical analysis of
each. AS a pasture for certain kinds
of livestock, peas may be made to
serve an excellent purpose. The value
of the crop for soiling and fodder uses
is very great, and as a fertilizing crop
peas are probably excelled only by
clover

Who Could Blame Them?

A Paris newspaper relates an amaz-
ing story which most people will prob
ably regard rather as an example of
the ben trovato than of strict fact.
According to the story. an automobile
proceeding from Nantes to Rosny met
herd of so horses being led to a
neighboring fair and stopped so as not
to cause a stampede. But the horses
seemed to have instinctively recogniz-
ed the rival of their species and with
out more ado set on the machine in a
body, kicking it to pieces. The chat
feur was with difficulty got out of the
melee uninjured.-London Globe.
