single one of whom should be pro-

they were at the same time progress
sives-and the offer was again abso-
lutely ignored; at the county conven-
ton the Johnson delegates worked to a
man with the stalwarts led by Sandager,
and IL delegates were elected to go
to Minot, Johnson's manager among
them, every one of whom at Minot
voted on every roll call with the Nc
Kenzie forces.
d. Mr.. Johnson spoke in every one
of these three counties several times
prior TO- these econxentions, and by utter
ing no more than ten words at every
speech could have carried every one of
these counties for the progressives.
But the words were never spoken.
Judge Engerud and other friends of
Mr.. Johnson were fully advised Of the
situation, at least in Ransom, long be-
fore the county convention, and Mr..
johnson was implored by the executive
committee Of the progressives to write
q letter which could be used to show
that he wanted an out and out pro-
gressive delegation and would work in
harmony with Marshall's friends to get
it-but the letter was never written,
and absolutely no attention paid to the
request. sip
e. Had M. N. johnson playeds square
with the progressives, personally and
through his managers in these counties,
the Minot convention would have been
carried by the progressives, as anybody
who can figure knows, and every pro.
gressive candidate nominated at the
June primary.

letter to the progressive executive com.

Good Roads Proof of Intelligence.

The Honorable John H. Bankhead,
Senator of Alabama, in a powerful
speech in the United States Senate
upon the question of good roads,
epitomized the whole question in a
very few words. He said
Good roads are the avenues OF
progress, the best proof of intelli
gence. They aid the social and re-
ligious advancement Of the people;
they increase the value of products.
save time, labor and money; they add
to the value of farm property; they
are the initial source of commerce
which swell in great streams and
flow everywhere, distributing the
products of our fields, forests and FAC
tories. The highways are the COM
mon property of the country; their
benefits are shared by all; they are
needed by all; they benefit all and
all should contribute to them"
1t would be difficult to make
stronger plea for good roads. Che
above statement coming from man
of high social and political standing
will command the respect of every
one. His golden words will become
a classic upon the subject.

Good Roads Err.

All travellers desire good roads.
and they are a source of convenience
and comfort to. every one," said Mr..
Robert E. Hill, of Pittsburg, who is
at the Hotel Martinique.
well built roads attract large
populations as well as good schools
and churches. That they vastly i'm
prove the value of property can easily
be appreciated. A good farm located
five miles from a market and con-
nected by bad road is Of less value
than farm equally as good lying ten
miles from market, but connected
by well constructed roads. Good
roads encourage a greater exchange
of products and commodities, for
larger loads can be drawn over roads
in good shape by one horse than by
two over a poor road The bicycle
and the automobile are to be thanked
for the marked improvement in the
roads of the East. The West has
much to learn in this respect. as was
proven by the New York to Paris au-
tomobile race.
THE construction of good roads is
absolutely essential to trade, for they
are the arteries of communication.
Our great increase in population COM
pels us to develop transportation ia
cilities of all kinds to the highest de-
gree. New York Telegram.

Must Keep Good Roads.

Farmers desiring to continue 10 re-
ceive mail by rural delivery must see
to it that the condition OF their roads
is maintained at a nigh standard, to
enable carriers to deliver mail with
ease and facility, according to an an
nouncement Of the PostoGlce Depart
ment.
On May II last the attention of the
postmaster at Peru, Ind. was called
to the bad condition OF the roads on
rural free delivery routes of that
office. Through efforts of the post
master, work was begun on seven OF
the twelve roads leading out of Peru.
At local meeting it was decided
to request the detail Of an engineer
from the Good Roads Bureau OF the
Department of Agriculture to con-
struct an object lesson road. and in
pursuance Of State law conaac g
were let to the amount Of sS5,0G0
for the construction of gravel roads
in the county.

Where the Apple Came From
BY E. P. POWELL.

There are two varieties of apples
found wild in Europe, but the region
adjacent to the Caspian Sea seems
to have been the origin of the apple
as known in the East. Charred pieces
of apples are found in the heaps of
refuse left by the Lake Dwellers, who
occupied portions of Europe before
any of the present races. These peo-
pie lived on platforms, laid over piles
driven into the water-probably to
protect themselves from animals, in
an era before metal weapons were
known. These specimens of apples
are generally carbonized by heat. but
they show perfectly the internal
structure of tie fruit.
There are five types of native
American apples; all of them crabs.
John Smith wrote from Virginia that
he had found some new crabapples,
but they were small and bitter" New
Englanders made the same report.
The Soulard has the reputation of be-
ing the largest and best of these ma
tives. Sports of this variety, like the
Matthews, are improved in size and
quality. Selections might probably
be made from Western thickets, of
even better sorts than are now
known. I believe the blood of the
wild crab is in some of gu" ber
orchards.-The Outing Magazine.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis.
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of impro-
per food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, so will the use OF
heavy, greasy, rich food finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle OF Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Some time ago had lot OF trou-
BILE from indigestion, caused by too
rich food. got SO was unable to
digest scarcely anything, and medi-
cines seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
last resort tried it.. am thank
full to say that Grape-Nuts not only
relieved me of my trouble. but built
me up and strengthened my digestive
organs so that can now eat anything
/ desire. But stick to Grape-Nuts.'

Improved Methods Insure Cheaper

For hundreds of years mankind
used the same style and size of razor
and had no thought that 1t could be
improved until some genius evolved
the safety razor. That genius reaped
the benefit of his inventive talent by
charging from SO to SIS for each inn
plement, people being glad to buy at
those figures. Now comes another
inventor who has made possible a
still better safety razor, and for only
twenty-five cents. That sum in post
age stamps sent to the Book Publish
ing House, 1874 Leonard street, New
York, will secure a razor postpaid by
return mail. This low price is only
made possible by the invention Of
scientific machinery which produces

For Better Roads.

Many Americans who live in or
near large cities would be surprised
to hear it stated that the United
States has the poorest roads of any
civilized country in the world. New.
ertheless, the statement is declared by
all who have had opportunity to learn
by experience to be unquestionably
true, when the roads of the whole
country are considered. Lately there
has been much criticism of the auto
mobile as being destructive of good
roads. The damage is so great that
in France the Government has been
forced to take up the matter, and is
even now studying preventive plans.
In the United States, however, it may
be that the automobile willNyet prove
a powerful influence in better roads.
The American Automobile Associa.
ton has recently held a two days
good roads convention in Buffalo, al
which provision was made for practi.
cal demonstrations of the best meth.
DDS of BODYBUILDING and repairing
and for experiments looking toward
the discovery of binding material
for surfacing roads which will not
be sucked out by the pneumatic tires.
There are signs. too, says Youths
Companion, that the old policy Of
throwing upon the towns the burden
of building the roads and keeping
them in repair is to be superseded by
the more sensible plan of having the
State do it. The towns will, of
course, care for their own streets,
but the main highways should be
built and cared for by the State, as
they are in France, Germany and
Switzerland.
