road assessors set a good example, and
the other assessors of the state seem to
have followed it.

MOVE HIGHER UP.
Residents of Bottoms at Des Moines
Fear Flood.

Des Moines, Ia, July 15.-Forty or
fifty families have moved from the bot
toms district of Des Moines to higher
ground. The Des Moines river is high
er than it has been since 1903, when
hundreds of families weres driven from
their homes. A rise of seven feet will
break the levee. This great a rise is
not feared. Ten acres of lowlands are
under water, but the river is stationary.
The rainfall Sunday night was 3.S3 in
ches, but lesser rains up the river re-
moves the possibility of general danger
unless hard rains continue for two or
three days.

A Great Roast :!

Over ton of Arbuclxles' Ariosa
Coffee is roasted at time, In large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in suffi-
cient demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepara-
ton.
The sales of Arbuclxles' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales of all other
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very magni-
tude, reduces our cost to a minimum,
and enables US, with our other advant-
ages, to give better value IN Arbucl<Ies'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else.
Arbuckles Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in the
world, and the best of all for
you.

Many years ago days work was sixteen hours. The manufacturers claimed that reduction of working hours would ruin them. The number of hours were reduced successfully from sixteen down to ten, now some have gone to only eight. At each re. duction the employer said it would ruin him, but in each reduction k was found to be an improvement. If it benefits these occupations, why would it not benefit the farmer to shorten the hours? Many now work sixteen hours day.-Jacksboro News.

The farmer is not letter writer, and he is not interested in the cheap postage idea. That is a matter that must be looked after by the man who wants to circularize the country at a letter rate of postage. What the farmer is interested in is Cheaper freight rates. He is the ultimate pay. CT of all freights, because he Is the producer. It makes no difference how complicated the civilization may be. come. it always gets back to the farm er-the man who digs the wealth out of the country to pay the freight. He Is the source of all the money, hence IL IS up to him to put up for the costs o1 the case when reduced to it's final conclusion.

Remember that the only wealth of the South, comparatively speaking, is that of the farm or the results of successful farming. The bulk of the fortunes made in the West have come from land speculation. This is ulti- mately at the expense of the farmer, who has to pay the high price of the land, and must work the harder and the closer to make living on account of the high price of the land.

If the cotton growers are in dead earnest about the matter of helping the cotton industry, they will wrap the bales in cotton. This would con- sume the difference between too much cotton and not quite enough, and would cut out the low price of a sur plus crop This would happen in years of bumper crops, to say noth- ing of the good it would do during years of short crops.

As the constant drop of water wears away the hardest stone, we hope that the continual pounding on the road question will bring things to pass that will awaken the farmer to the fact that the building of goods roads Is of more importance to him than to any, body else. When a subscription is taken up and the merchant puts down a good, round sum, it may be safely written that the sum is to be made off the farmer; for the merchant has no other source of getting money. The ultimate reduction is that the build. ing of the roads must be done by the farmer either directly or indirect. ly-yoluntarily or by circumlocution. The time to make d split-log drag is today.
