BETTER RURAL SERVICE
DUE TO BETTER ROADS
What the Postoffice Department Has
Accomplished in the Matter.

A great deal of space has been de-
voted in this department of The Re
publican for the past year or two to
the subject of good roads.
1t is a matter of satisfaction to
many that improvements have been
made in that time. Still there is room,
and will be for some time to come, for
additional ones. The postoffice de-
partment. especially that department
having in charge the rural delivery
service of the United tSates, has been
especially active in this question the
past year and an extract from the ad-
dress of Supt. Spilman of the rural
service, delivered to the state conven-
ton of the Illinois carriers is peril
tinent Mr.. Spilman's address was
published in full in the last issue of
the r F. d. News and that portion of
it relating to roads and appearing be-
low was taken from that:
The chief thing that we have sought
to obtain during the past year in the
betterment and improvement of the
rural delivery service is to increase the
interest in good roads. applause
Just between us carriers, of course, one
of the reasons we want good roads is
because it will make a more attrac-
tive job for the carrier daughter
But, as matter of fact, what we want
good roads for, what the department
wants good roads for, is because it is
going to make a better delivery SER

WHY WOMEN SUFFER.

Women have so much to go through
in life that it is a pity there is so
much needless suffering from back
ache. headache, dizziness. languor and
other common aches and ills of kidney
complaint.
Doans Kidney Pills have brought
new life and strength to thousands of
women afflicted in this way.
Women are prone to kidney trouble.
They have SO much indoor work to
d., SO much lifting. bending and
STOPPING; they are bound by custom
to tight, heavy clothing. They get
little outdoor exercise, and any little
cold may bring on kidney weakness.
Don't worry if you feel tired and
dragged outfit you have backache
AMI bearing-down pain, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness and hck ambi-
ton. Don't think it's some trouble
peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the
same way when they have kidney
trouble.
Ask yourself this question: "Are
my kidneys wcH?" The condition of
the kidney secretions may give you
an answer. If there is brick dust
sediment, or stringy settling in the
urine; if passages are too frequent and
copious, or scanty and painful, it is.

vice. (Applause) The man who lives
on the tail end of the route-that is
not a very elegant expression-wants
his mail as soon as the man on the
first end, and he has a right to have
it. He is citizen as much as we are,
and if we can get to him earlier and
sooner our service is that much bet
ter. That is why we are working for
good roads. 1t is simply a business
proposition. OF course / understand if
brothers, like Brother Lander, want
to ride on a motor cycle and get home
quicker, it is better, and we all may
come to motor cycles after while in the
future.
Now, you will say this good road
proposition has got to be an old story,
but | am going to keep on talking.
Getting good roads is like a good many
other things-you have to keep work
ing at it. A brother who was talking
to me this morning said: Il have been
at them and at them, and they will not
do thing" farmer from Illinois, an
old school friend of mine with whom
1 was talking in Chicago yesterday,
said: "Spilly. there is no use trying
you cannot get them interested down
in our part of the country for good
roads" l said, You can never get
them unless you keep on trying" and
rural carriers, there are 10000 of us in
the United States, and if we keep
hammering and hammering and ham
mering there are going to be good
roads. (Applause) When once you
get this thing to a certain point you
are then winner. 1t is just as a post
master from southern Indiana said be-
fore convention of pOstmasters in In
danapolis: while we are at this
business some people are going to
thing we are quite disagreeable be-
cause we will never let up; they are
going to accuse us of wanting TO but

vocating good roads; the road over

WILL LEAVE TEMPE.
The VIM. Rohrig Family Planning to
Locate in California.

Tempe people will learn with regret
that when VIM. Rohrig and family left
Tempe Saturday evening for California
it was the intention of not returning.
Mr.. Rohrig will be back in the course
of a couple of weeks and will remain
here during the honey season, but has
disposed of the larger part of his bees
to his brother, Martin Rohrig, and is
planning to sell what he has left and
the home east of town. He says his
leaving Tempe is not due to any dis
like for the country. On the contrary.
he likes Tempe better than any other
place, but Mrs. Rohrig's health is bet
ter there than here, and that is a first
consideration.
The Rohrigs have been residents of
Tempe for many years and Mr.. Rohrig
has been during that time one of, if
not the largest bee owners in the ter
ritory. He has been prominently iden-
titled with that industry for years and
at present is the secretary of the Ari-
IONA Honey exchange. They will 10
