FOR GOOD ROADS
National Grange Asks Congress tc
 Make Liberal Appropriation

The National Grange, with nearly one million members, has undertaken to secure recognition of the urgent necessity for a broad, comprehensive policy of public road improvement. It be- lieves that the time has arrived when the problem of the deplor- able condition of our roads in general must be seriously con- sidered by the various township, county and state authorities, and prompt action taken to remedy existing conditions; and that the National Government should lend it's assistance to a movement hav- ing for it's objective point the es- tablishment of a complete sys- tenn of properly constructed high ways.
 At it's recent annual meeting, the Grange adopted resolutions calling for the immediate enact ment of legislation by Congress making liberal Federal appropri- ations for the improvement of the public highways of the coun- try, these appropriations to be expended in such manner as Con- gress may prescribe.

Demand for Help in Examinations Not
 Hard. How to Prepare For.
 The U. s. Government is having trouble to secure enough help in vari- ous departments of the Civil Service. Especially is this true of stenOgraphers, railway mail clerks, bookkeepers etc.
 The pay of stenographers is never less than $12OO to $500 a year to begin with in the Philippines and Panama and nearly as much in the U. s. The Govt. furnishes free transportation both ways, half pay while in transit, free quarters while there, medical attention and hospital service in case of sickness, and allows 30 days annual leave of ab- sence and 30 days sick leave, both on full pay.
 These examinations are by no means difficult, nor does it require long to pre- pare for them. The only school in Cal making a speciality of training for this service and assisting young people to secure Govt. positions is San Bernardo no Business College of San Bernardino. Examinations are held there for 56 diff ferent Govt positions. Students ent- ering now should be able to prepare for the spring Civil Service examination
 Particulars could be had by writing the College.

HIS DAY OF DAYS.
Hobo Neiman's HalcyOn Memories
 of Box Car Experience.
Omar's Jug ofWine Beneath the Rough Was Not a Patch On What Desert Pilgram Found at Imperial Junction.

Hobo Neiman is in jail, but he neither murmurS nor replneS. Present restraint nor prospect of future punishment can take away from him the gorgeous memories of the halcyon day that he spent in a box car at Imperial Junction. Hobo Neiman blew in on desert breeze in the night and sought a place to lay his frowzy head. He found iU in a freight car, but he did not say his Now lay me" and go to bed. Boxes and eases invited attention, and Hobo Nei- man got busy with them, in a forehanded way. He went through the car like a diplomat footing Q Chinese imperial boudoir to compensate himself for being a hero of the siege of the Lega- tions in Picking, and he piled into a blanket a dozen pairs of ladies' shoes, two dozen lovely kimonos, embroidered jackets and other feminine gear, made a portable pack of the plunder and prepared to go on his way rejoicing.
 Hobo Neiman took another look around to make sure that he had not neglected his opportuni- ties, and just for luck he broke open another case. He almost tainted when he realized how near he had been to making the mistake of his life. A bottle of Cresta Blanca Burgundy sluiced the desert dust from his throat, and two more melted a thirst that some men would pay big money for. Half a dozen old California port put genial glow into the system of Hobo Neiman, and chaser of apricot brandy, about quart, put him into just the right condition to do justice to the dozen of champagne that completed the assortment in the case.
 When Detective Bowler looked into the car, the case was empty and Hobo Neiman obviously was not. Attired in a red kimono dotted with golden butterflies, Hobo Neiman was sleepingl the sleep of the profoundly soused, his head pillowed upon a pack of plunder and the last bottle of champagne clasped lovingly to his heart.
 Now Hobo Neiman is in jail, but as yet he is neither sober nor sorry. A jag like that holds over surprisingly, and the memory of it never fades.

Mir. Rancher, just minute! A neighbor of ours sent to Chicago for watch It was 15 jeweled Waltham, and he brought it to me and asked what the value of it was. He said he paid $845 for it and when I told him that I sold that grade of watch of the Jewellers quality at $7.50, he did not look very pleased.
 have worked in watch factories and also some of the largest jew elry stores, both in England and America, and know what l am talking about when l am talking about watches.
 ''The superintendent of large watch factory, while instructing his classifer, holds in his hands two watches which, in appearance, are exactly the same, but there is a great difference. Watch No. 1 is as nearly perfect as human skill can make it, and is sold only through the jewellers and cannot be sold for less than $25. While watch No. 2 looks to be the same as Mo- 1, there is an imperfection. It is true that it has the same number of jewels and all other parts, but you see that some of the jewels are faulty, the pivots don't fit their jewels and the springs are imper- feet. It has been handled roughly and to make it perfect would cost about as much as it would to build a new one out and out, and if sent to a jeweler it would come back So, as a matter of course, it is money for the factory to class it second or discontinued, sell it to the mail order department of the catalogue house at one-third less than the first quality or watch No. l, or at discount of $8. 50 The factory has noth- ing further to do with this watch. The mail order house is at liberty to sell it for what they choose. As matter of fact, the mail order house proceeds to catalogue it and sell it to those unaware of the tricks of the trade and who live thousands of miles away"

U. S. Flag Bigger
Than the Standard Oil Company.

Chicago, Ills, July 6.-Judge
Kenesaw M. lands, the "Nemesis
of Standard Oil" the ''squarest
man on the bench" the judge we
want to appear before''-thus is
the man known to Bar and public
in Chicago-the man who made
the worlds richest man and the
worlds greatest monopoly at last
recognize the supremacy OF the
United States Government.
When John d. Rockefeller was
finally served with the subpoena
calling him to appear before Judge
Lands, it developed that Attor-
neys John S. Miller, Moritz Ros-
enthal and H. a. Eddy, represent
ing the Standard Oil Company,
got word to Judge Lands on the
Tuesday afternoon before and rep
resented to him that the informa-
ton he demanded concerning the
financial affairs of the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana would be
given willingly and gladly by other
witnesses, who, at that hour, had
been summoned. Therefore they
appealed to Judge lands that Mr..
Rockefeller be spared the humilia
ton of being hailed into court.
The answer forthcoming from
Judge Lands was characteristic
of the man.

said. "When the subpoena was

first issued the Federal Govern
ment was instantly confronted
with situation that shocked me,
because of the brazen disregard of
the courts power to bring witness
es here who happen to possess
money. If Mr.. Rockefeller had
previously shown disposition to
answer the summons of judicial
tribunals / would not have been so
insistent in this case; but no soon
or does he get word that he is
wanted here than he starts q hide
and-seek game with the Federal
powers.
IT will not stand for that. His
companies have assumed an au
thority reserved only for monarch
les. Neither Mr.. Rockefeller nor
any other individual in the United
States is bigger than the flag. At
least, that is my idea. | may be
mistaken, but | am proceeding up
on the theory that the United
States is greater than the Standard
Oil Company as unit and all its
officers stockholders and attorneys,
individually and collectively.
"You, gentlemen, addressing the
attorneys, ''might as well advise
your client that he will come to
Chicago sooner or later. 1 shall
adjourn court on Saturday if Mr..
Rockefeller is not here and have
all the Witnesses now summoned
to come back after Mr.. Rockefeller
has been found. And he will be
found. There is but one way that
he may avoid service: that is to
move permanently out of this
country"
