Hardware Dealers on Good Roads.

At the annual meeting Of the State
Retail Hardware association, held in
Syracuse, N. Y, last month, the presi-
dent, Louis J. Ernst, in bis annual ad-
dress discussed among other subjects
that Of good roads. Mr.. Ernst said
among other things:
"a great factor in business is that Of
good roads, and it behooves all Of us
to do what we can to have as many
roads throughout the state put in such
condition that travel over them is pos
sible at all seasons of the year. Good
roads enable the farmer to drive to the
nearest market place with ease, dis
pose Of his produce and make his pur-
chases. This is matter that has re-
ceived any amount Of attention during
the past few years and great strides
have been made toward improvement
We, however, as interested merchants,
should give the matter our active and
moral support to the end Of extending
this good roads system and to see that
| Dtner roads through the rural districts
be improved and that they be kept in
repair. III that respect there is much
carelessness"

Biblical plain of Esdraelon, taken
from Mrs. A. G. Inchbold's ''Under the
Syrian Sum-" "Instantly our gaze and
with it our hearts went out to the
strange beauty Of the plain of Esdrae-
non, spread out just beyond the rolling
ranges Of the Galilean hills It was
like some beautiful sea with its softly
green pillows sweeping inland in broad
gracious curves between the bounda-
ries of it's northern and southern hills.
And upon this limpid, seemingly liquid
surface rested big cloud shadows Of
deep yelled purple. The pillows were
the cultivated stretches Of the plain
and the cloud shadows indicated the
broken, titled soil. When in reality the
shadows of clouds moved across the
beloved richness of the great meadow
as the natives called Esdraelon-the
effect was sublime beyond descrip-

Though times have been good for
years, the number Of women and chill

family does not appear to be able to
obtain enough for his labor to support
those who are dependent upon him.

It is because the question Of woman
and child labor has assumed disQuet

President Roosevelt commissioned Mrs

the subject. Mrs. Foster has already
