GOOD ROADS AND AUTOS.
Big FACTORS In Future Economics,
Says Edward Hewitt.

Inside OF six years. and ten at the
most, we will have roads that viii
make the commercial automobile one
of the biggest factors in the economic
question Of the day, says Edward Hew-
lit in the New York World
The saving In freight rate and conse-
quent saving to the consumer that will
come through good roads for CONNER
cial automobile transportation are
bound to make the road question one
that will have to be considered by leg
islatures.
A state commission with an appro-
priatlon sufficient to lnterlace the roads
of this state and Jersey with freight
auto roads would be one of the most
commendable of all the commissions
that we could have at present. Long
Island has only one road that leads to
Long Island City that is worth the
name.
That should not be.
The freight hauling of Long Island
could even now be done by automo-
biles with great saving to the con-
sumner if there were roads that ad-
mitted of it.
France, Germany and Switzerland
have been using the freight automobile
for years, and yet we think we are a
progressive nation.
The pleasure car must give way as
factor of manufacture to the com
mercial car. and. as soon as the men
who control the big output of cars
realize that, then the movement toward
the kind of roads we must have must
begin to take shape, and it is coming
In the very near future
Just as soon as the big controllers in
the manufacturing market see that
their future and big profit lie in the
freight motor car and that they need
good roads for the same they will be
able to get the newspapers to start AN
agitation sufficiently great to see that
they get the kind of legislation they
need for the same.

S. T. Women, Pennington, Wash.
Usually in the early development Of
a country there is too much good agri-
cultural land laid out in the town lots.
An area of country with a town every
few miles is generally torn assunder by
strife, and there is no real prosperity in
the whole area Of country. But, put
one good business center in the same
area and see what great change will
take place. One good business place
is worth dozen other places quarrel
ing with each other.

From Avon.

There is considerable rejoicing
among the people of Avon and vicinity
over the recent visit of Mr.. Thatcher,
President of the Washington, Idaho
and Montana railroad and that gentle
mans assurance that depot, side tracks
and warehouses will be built at Avon
in the near future. Not only will Avon
be benefited by these acquisitions, but
the people throughout this entire Sec
ton appreciate their value. The wa'e-
houses and cold storages to be install
ed at this place will be means OF the
saving Of large sums of money and
great deal of time to the farmers Of
this prolific country, and furnish a home

Bear Ridge Notes.

The dance given at the Steele
school house on the 18th was a grand
success socially,-but not financially.
Harvest is we'll under way on the
ridge. Joe Pierce started his thresh-
ing machine Monday on the farm Of
John Gibson. Grain is turning out
very we'll, as it always does on Bear
ridge. 1t is not a bumper crop" but
good crop every year is the motto
Of the Bear ridge farmers.
Marian Blindon met with bad ac-

which turned the binding pole over,

How such an accident could occur on
such road without total wreck of the
outfit, and the loss of life is beyond
the power of man to tell. Kendrick

VERDICT FOR $500.

In the libel suit of Ernest Wood
ward, county attorney of Ohio coun-
ty, against the Messenger Publish
ing company. of Greensboro, the
jury at Hartford Saturday afternoon
returned verdict for $500 dam
ages.
Something more than year ago
school girl at Hartford college, Miss
Prudie Ford, whose parents lived in
Ohio county, was accused by a Mrs.
Collins, with whom she was boarding
in the town, of stealing watch and
some money. The girl left Mrs. Col
Inns home and found another board
ing place, declaring her innocence, but
rumors spread over the town that
she would be prosecuted.
In few days she was missing
and on the river bank at the old
mill two pathetic notes were found,
one to her parents. the other to her
lover in which she said she could not
bear this disgrace and would drown
herself. Her body was found in the
river.
The property the girl was accused
of stealing was afterwards found
by Mrs. Collins. The language of
the note left by the girl was slightly
changed in transmission over the
phone but was promptly corrected
next day by the papers. Both the
Inquirer and Messenger were sued,
but the suit against the former was
dismissed.

Presence Of Mind Shown BY Women
Under Trying Circumstances
Thus Accounted For.

Are women really growing Drawers
One almost thinks they must be

recent shipwrecks and railway acct

weaker sex in very trying circum-

for a woman to show irmness and
presence of mind, and seems to point
to a fundamental change in the fem
mime character.
Fashion, however, has probably
much TO do with it, as self-control is
generally practiced when it is ex-
pected and admired. If cowardice

Salina Smith, of Princeton. The
committee was composed of Gen.
Jno. B. Castleman, Mrs. Chas. P.
Weaver, Mrs. C. C. Chord, E. B.
Tinsley and Harvey Jainer. 1t was
of course expected that the highest
honors would be given to Louisville

one we have heard expressed about
the pictures in the Courier-Journal
Sunday, is that the first prize should
have been given to the girl who got
third.

FEET AND SHORT SKIRTS!

The council at Prague has been
indulging in grandmotherly legisla-
ton, and has decreed that hence
forth no woman shall appear in the
streets in a dress which touches the
ground.
There are few more helpless and
pitiable creatures than woman on
a wet and windy day, trying to hold
up her skirt with one hand, while
with the other she grasps her UNI
brella and the little bag which serves
her in lieu of a purse.
French and American women are
more sensible than we are in this re-
spect, and in both countries the short
skirt is de rigeur for the street.
Perhaps-low be it spoken-one
reason of its scant popularity here is
that feet of the average English
woman are not her best point, and a
pretty foot seems a necessity.-Black
and White, London.

HOW CASEY WON HIS BET.

house in the northeastern part Of

and refused to move out. The land

Judgment against Call by Justice
Remley for $40.
"T'llbet $3.50 you don't have him
out of there in five days" Mr..
Stephens said to Roy Casey, the con-
stable.
The bet was made. Casey turned
to Thomas Raper, a deputy, and
said:
"Moye 'em out, Tom"
Raper went to Calls home.
"Got to move you out" he said
bluntly. 'But III give you so cents
to set your goods in the street.
1t was chance for Call. He ac'
cepted the offer. Call got the Sc
cents, Casey won $3.50 and the land
