they VIII Come Well to the Front in
Spite of Checks and Plaids
and Stripes.

Ever since last March polka dots
have been struggling for recognition,
in spite OF the almost autocratic rule
of checks and broken plaids, and OF
the determined advance Of stripes.
This summer they have succeeded.
All sorts of polka dots are worn,
from the embroidered muslins and
linens down to the least expensive
batiste. and all sizes as well, from
the big, strikingly effective oneg to
infinitesimal dots which are almost
too small to be seen, and which,
when set close together. tighten d
dark color without showing, to
casual glance, how they do it.
Single polka dots are the rule, bus
some unusual effects got by combin.

WIDE TIRES ON HIGHWAYS.
Passage Of Laws 70 Compel Their Use
Dependent on Public
Opinion

A corresondent of the Prairie Farm
er propounds the following question::
Can you tell me any reason why a
law should not be passed compelling
all persons hauling heavy loads over
our highways to use wide-tired wag-
ons?" And that journal answers as
follows:
Undoubtedly such law wonld be
a good thing for the roads and the
comfort Of the people who Use them
Enactment of such law is another
thing. and will only come e'hen a con-
siderable number of people demand its
passage.
In many states legislation has heen
enacted providing credit on road work
where the owner of farm uses a
wide-ured wagon. but the results IN
cases seem TO be meager, If any at all.
Unquestionably narrow-tired wag-
on. bearing a heavy load. does a
damage to every road II passes over.

these let in water and frost Public
roads are public property but they
should not be injured by every indi-
yidual who processes a preference for
the narrow-tired wagon.
