Let us begin to think what would be

! think it would be advisable toreduce
the acreage of peanutsat least half. Say
we planted four bags Of peanuts and sold
the product at so cents bushel, fair
estimate If all the farmers III the pea
nut belt would agree to plant two bags
Of peanuts to one horse, they would re-
alize as much out If the two bags as we
would out Of The four bags.
We should well consider what we do.
Plant more of the other crops than we
have been doing, and have more to sell
at home. Before we can independent
we must make our supplies at home and
have something to sell every month IN
the year.
We urge farmers to keep ont of debt As
much as possible and not to give mort
cages on their crops if it is possible TO
avoid it. That has got us where we are
today 1t looks like we are bound to
turn lose the most Of our peanuts, or let
our friends, the merchants, suffer. We
as farmers must pay our debts if il is
possible for us to do so.
Boys, look what-a fix, we were in when

PUBLIC ROADS.
EdItor Tie cnnoN1c1r.

WOfktng the puDllc ROADS III is q
farce and failure.s Road work
ing day is generally hailed with
delight by the young men, as il
gives them day off from their
regularroutine of farm labor. Not
one in three carry hoe, spade, OF
any kind of tool to work with, and
the result is that very often a part
of the hands are idle the most OF
the day aud the roads get lick
aud promise until more conven-
lent time by filling the most una
voidable and dangerousmudholes.
From the present condition of the
roads a more convenient time is
still in the future Yet each year
the same tax must be paid and the
same work done over and over.
The road tax should be uniform
and in sufficient quantity to build
good permanent roads, so it will
not be necessary to do the same
work over and over, When the
roads are once well built, the ex-
pense of repair will be reduced to
u small cost. The labor assess
ment should be modified or abol-
ished, for in most localities it is of
little benefit. The tax should be
honestly and intelligently applied,
and the officers in charge of build
ing the roads should have enough
territory to demand their entire
time and attention.
The principal highways Of the
county should first be put in order
aud those less travelled afterward.
Ageneral widening of our roads is
necessary. There are too many
localities where farmers have en-
croached upon the roads with their
fences until they. have become mar
row passes. Ma6y of the roads
should be relocated, and the essen
tials of proper location should be
given due consideration. They
should avoid steep grades, swamps,
creek beds, etc, as far as possible,
and all roads should be as straight
and direct as practicable. The
meanderings Of our public roads
should yield to the needs of civil
cation, and all gates across public
roads should be abolished, for the
public sentiment demands it.
These things will all come in
due time, if we will move in the
right direction. The road ques-
ton is forcing itself to the front,
aud is assuming more prominence
than ever before
Imperfect drainage is the sole
cause of many bad roads, for well
drained road bed is necessary to
assure good road, as there will be
less moisture remaining i'll the
roads after rains to be worked into
a quagmire of mud by the travel
thereon.
Under drainage in seepy ground
with imperishable material will
accomplish more to assure good
road than surface drainage. To
place tue drains is a matter which
no code of rules can be given to
meet the demand, as each mile or
less of roadway may lead to an en-
tirely new com bnation of circum-
stances which can be best overcome
by those having them III charge.
Surface drainage is attained by
rounding up the road bed SO as to-
draw the water directly from the
center to each side Of the roadway
where bitches are prepared sufi-
cient to carry off the water aid al

AUGUSTUS THOMAS TELLS ALL ABOUT
 'AR|zONA'
UNEXPECTEDLY MEETS FATHER OF GIRL WHO INSPIRED
 BONITA"
Forestine Cooper Suggested the Heroine as a Jolly Little Frontier Girl and
 Col. Hooker Was the Original for
 Henry Canby," the Frontiersman.

DENVER, July 23.-While here, Au. gustus Thomas, playwright. unexpected ly met the father of the woman who was the inspiration for his Bonita in "AriZona.
 lie hadn t forgotten how he came to write the pretty play dealing with iron tier life, and when General Charles Cooper, U. $. A., called he was ready to indulge in "reminiscences of old Fort Grant as if it had all happened but yesterday.
 It seems that the plot for "Arizona v was suggested by little scandal whicn was disturbing Fort Grant, when Au- gustus Thomas went there for a vaea- ton some years ago. The playwright 1. stopped at the Hooker ranch, one of the showplaces of Arizona, which was not far from the fort.
 The ranch was owned by Henry Can. by Hooker, a Los Angeles millionaire, whose stock was so numerous hat no one ever tried to reckon its extent. The Rockers were wont to stay at the ranch in relays, and it happened that Forestine Cooper Hooker, the daugh- inlaw of Henry Canby Hooker, was there at the time Thomas made his visit. He was attracted by her person alityf and celebrated her as Bonita. the delightful little frontier girl of "Ari- zona.
 Col Hooker is the original of Henry Canby, except that the colonel was a man of polish and culture, a real ex: qu;site in fact, while the stage char acter is rough and ready frontiers man, with a good heart and a keen wit. MT. Thomas told Gen. Cooper that he had preserved many snatehes of Col. Rockers conversation for use in his play. Frederick Remington was called to Arizona to illustrate the sketch when Thomas had finished it.
 The Hooker ranch was called the ''Sierra Bonita, and is even now vis;. ed by tourists, who are amazed at such lavish elegance far from human habita- ton. Many distinguished men are cn' rolled on its guest sheets.
 Gen. Cooper. the father of Forestine Hooker, took command of Fort Grant after the visit Thomas, and, although he had heard the story of the. play, he was anxious to verify it by Thomas himself, and called for that purpose.
