At the Good Roads Convention
held on the 7th inst. the road ex-
perts confirmed. as all obseryant
citizens have affirmed. that the first
essential toward the improvement of
our public highways. Is to get the
water off the roads-that the only
practical way to do this Is to throw
up the road bed so as to shed the
water and make side drains to re-
ceive and carry 1t off and good cui-
yerts to lead the water across or
under the road-bed into the natural
drains. So far all agree. A good
road-bed sheds its water into the
side bitches and they in turn conduct
to the culverts and natural drains.
When the road-bed is kept free from
water. the road is good, When water
is allowed TO stand on the road bed,
ruts are soon made and mud-holes
Inevitable and impossible roads the

The road machines will do the

with soil and above all things to
keep the slit and drifting weeds
from clogging them. These things
being done We will have fairly good
roads, except during those very rainy
periods Of excessive rains when alt

If IL Is then deemed expedient to
cover the road-hed with rock. gravel

selected and thus treated and We will
have as good roads as it is possible
To have for years 10 come.
The funds to do this work up
to the surfacing with rock. gravel

ad-valorem road tax instead of Is
cents as we have it now.
This larger rate was insisted on in
the 18th legislature by the black

amendment to the constitution.

try in the northwestern states in recent
years is due mainly to similar system
Of cooperation on the part of our
farmers. AS matter of fact, the CO.
operative dairies of the northwest are
direct adoption of the Danish system;
our first cooperative dairies were or
ganized by Danes upon Danish plans.
The best known and most successful
system of cooperation in distribution,
or cooperation stores, is the English
so-called Rochdale system, which has
grown apace in England, and in re-
cent years has spread to other English
speaking countries.
Cooperative stores on the Rochdale
plan have become common feature
of the commercial life of English COM
munities, and their volume of trade is
increasing from year to year. Indica-
tions are that this form of cooperation
will attain similar popularity in
America.
1t is we'll that legislators wrestle
with the trust problem. But while the
trusts plot and the lawmakers grope
for ways and means and legislative
control of combinations, the people
should take steps to pool their inter
ests. Many far-seeing men think the
trusts and other great capitalistlc COM
binations have come to stay. If, un.
der such conditions, the people are to
preserve their economic independence
they must oppose the trusts of money
with the trusts of man; in other words
they must meet centralized capita
with cooperation. SKANDINAv.

Friedrich Won Schiller.

~ NE hundred years ago, on the
ninth of May, Friedrich
~ Schiller, Germany's greatest
poet and scholar, closed his
eyes in everlasting sleep. In every cor
ner of the earth, wherever his fame
has spread, the day will be observed in
becoming manner. ALI Germans, no
matter how far they have drifted from
their fatherland, will unite in paying
tribute to the man who gave them
their store of knowledge and whose
genius made their lives worth living.
Friedrich Schiller was born in 1859
in Warbach, small town in Wurtem-
berg, Germany. His father was a
humble surgeon in the pay of the
reigning duke, whose favor he enjoyed
during his whole life. Young Schiller,
aided by the generosity of the duke,
was sent to the best school obtainable
and until his ninth year remained in
Warbach studying under able teachers.
His father had intended to educate his
son for the ministry, but the young
man showed great dislike for school
life. The college at Stuttgart, where
he was sent to try his fortunes in the
study of law, also dlspleased him. The
strict discipline and severeness of the
teachers tended to disgust him. He
often feigned sickness in order to stay
in his room to follow his beloved task
of writing poetry and essays on politi-
cal and social questions. He longed to
join the great and busy current of
life, and to mingle with the interests
of the world, became his sole ambition.
He became passionately fond of lit
erature and the works of Goethe and
Lessing greatly interested the young
boy. His attention was drawn toward
the drama and in his nineteenth year he
startled the world by his first work
"The Robbers" the publication OF
which caused great excitement
wherever it was read. The reign
ing duke, formerly his staunch friend
turned against him, which caused
Shiller's father much agony and de
spair. ALI Germany severely criticised
the author of the famous drama. which
was styled as "too open" in it's charac
ter. Schiller was asked to moderat,
the language, but he steadily refused
believing his characters true to his i'm
agination. Many years after the frs
production of aThe Robbers" Schille
