GIRL IN AUTO BEATS EXPRESS.
Risks Life and ImperiIs Passengers,
But Wins Five-Mle Dash.

New York.-Imperiling her own life
and the lives of scores of passengers
on Long Island railroad express
train, Marjorie Bourne, daughter of
former Commodore Frederick G.
Bourne of the New York Yacht club
in an automobile engaged in a five
mile race with the train between Islip
and Oakdale, L. l.
In response to her urging her chauf-
feur drove the high power auto with
such reckless disregard of the speed
laws that he beat the train to the
crossing at w. Bayard Cuttings place
four miles from the start, and dashed
across the track at breakneck speed
only few feet ahead of the locomo-
tive.
Passengers on the train said it was
one of the most reckless feats in
which they had ever known a woman
to engage, and if anything had hap
pened to retard the automobile, even
slightly, when it reached the crossing,
Miss Bourne and her driver unques-
tionably would have been killed and
the express train might have been
thrown off the track, bringing death
or injury to many passengers.

Use Fire to Combat Fire.

The average retailer does not en-
ploy enough printers ink, and employ
it in the proper direction, in dealing
with the trade for his community.
The enemies of the retailer, the mail
order houses, are products of printers
ink and know full well the value of
It, They are not anxious that the re-
tail dealers of the country wake up.
They are satisfied to allow conditions
to go on and allow them, the mail
order house, to get the benefit Of the
trade which is coming to them
through their aggressive advertising
campaigns. If a merchant would fol-
low out their schemes of publicity
upon a small scale in his immediate
territory, would get out some adver-
Using matter in the form of circulars
with prices and descriptive matter, it
would win. The way to fight fire is
with fire, and the retailer has had the
shortcomings of his anti-mail-order
house campaigns thrown back upon
HIM with little or no satisfactory re-
suits. Campaigns he has set up in
opposition have in measure taken
the edge off the catalogue houses cam
paigns, but why not get right into the
game and fight them with the same
ammunition that they are using to ex-
terminate the retail trade OF the coun-
try? Use local papers literally and
get out circulars, letters and price
lists, we'll printed and illustrated.

Are AmenahIe to Reason.

Farmers are usually amenable to
reason, the same as any of the rest
of the human race. They do not buy
of peddlers or catalogue houses be-
cause they want to snub their own
home town and home merchants, but
because the article is brought par
ticularly to their notice, embellished
with a flow of convincing language
calculated to impress them at once
with the superior merits of the article
50 presented and with the alleged fact
that they are saving considerable
money by buying in that way
The fact that the article is not SUI
perior and is really considerably
higher priced does not appear, for the
reason, perhaps, that the local dealer
has never taken the trouble to adver-
tise his wares, or has never called
the farmers into his store and shown
them the article, made comparisons
between it and the peddled article
and showed them that he, the dealer,
is actually the one who is saving them
money, not only in the first cost, but
in repairs and wearing qualities as
we'll
There is too much of a disposition
on the part of most dealers to take
it for granted that their customers
or those who might and should be
their customers-know all about their
stock, it's qualities and prices, as COM
pared with those that may be put up
to them by the peddler or the mail
order man. Instead, they should make
it their business to throw flood of
light on these questions at every op-
portunity. In other words they should
advertise, in the way that their judg-
ment and experience dictate, or in
various ways, so there will be no ex-
cuse, at least, for any possible GUS
toner remaining in ignorance.

GOOD PUBLIC ROADS.
A Mark of Civilization and CONNER
cial Prosperity.

A Mark Of Civilization and CONNER
cial Prosperity.
The best evidence of a high type
of educated and refined civilization
is the building and maintenance of
firstclass public roadways. This is
more fully evidenced by the incessant
and continuous demand of the whole
American nation for improvement in
our public roadways. Good roads mean
better schools, more churches and an
increased social relationship in the va
rious rural neighbOrhoods. The loss
by farmers in the continual wear and
tear on horse power, breakage of We
hicles and loss of time in travelling
on bad roads amounts in the aggre-
With the exception of taxation for
educational purposes there is no cause
in the interest of our rural population
to which the taxes of the people could
be directed to greater benefit than the
equipment and maintenance of first
class public roadways.
The Federal Government could not
expend a part of the public funds to
better advantage than granting large
annual appropriations to be distribut-
ed among the various States to aid in
public road Improvement We have
never been able to understand why
the National Government could an
nually appropriate millions of the pub
lie money to the maintenance of the
public waterways and harbors and in
the construction of magnificent public
buildings in centers of commerce and
do practically nothing toward the i'm
provements of the public highways of
the country. We believe that the Ma
tional Government should each year
appropriate an equal amount of money
for the improvement of our public
highways that is expended on water
ways, harbors and public buildings. If
this amount was prorated among the
different States on the basis of public
road mileage, not population, and each
State would then raise a special reve-
nue. equal to the appropriation of the
Federal Government, we would soon
be able to make rapid Roadway in
road improvement With the general
introduction of fine macadam road
ways, farmers could introduce the use
of motor vehicles and reduce the cost
of marketing their products To a mini
mum.
We have taken the position before,
and adhere to t now, that the best
| returns on money invested by the
State or nation is appropriations made
in the interest of farmers and the
development of our vast agricultural
| resources. There should be a good
roads club in every community and
county to cooperate with State and
| National organizations. A steady,
active campaign should be taken In
| the interest of this work all over the
country, and especially in the South.
Let us have good roads first, last and
all the time.-The Cotton Journal.

German Move AGAINST Fraud.

The German government proposes
to stamp out the fraudulent and dis
honest advertising which has crept
into the business methods of many
firms of that country. For instance,
when a man advertises a bankrupt
stock for sale, he has got to be pre-.
pared to prove that there is absolutely
no misstatement as to the source from
which he receives the goods. Michi,
gan, New York and other states have
laws on their statute books which are
intended to suppress dishonesty in adj
vertising, but it is a question whether
the law has ever yet been invoked
against those concerns, particularly
in the clothing business, which from
one years end to another have theiI
store front plastered up with adver
Using matter, announcing the purchase
of another large bankrupt stock, OF
the catalogue houses, whose success
chiefly lies in the Misrepresentation
made as to the quality Of their wares
The law recently passed in Ger
many is also intended to prevent Z
merchant from adding goods to his
stock in order to increase sales, after
he has announced that he is selling
out of business The penalty of 5000
marks, which is equivalent to nearly
$1,000 in American money, or i'm.
prisonment up to II months, should
have salutary effect in preventing
fho claac of frauds at which the hill
Is aimed.

EiQht Cars Run Over Bow.

New York; lay still because
didn't want to get my new suit all
dirty
The knowledge that an engine and
eight cars had passed over him with
out cutting him to pieces did not
please little Abraham Morris half as
much as the fact that his new trousers
and stockings had escaped with few
tears
Abraham joined some boys who
were playing tag on the tracks. He
ran directly in front of an oncoming
train and stumbled as he got between
the rails. When the last car passed
over the spot where the boy had been
seen to fall he arose and began brush
ing off his clothes, and cried that he
would get whipping when he

farm in Lebanon N. H., his job being
to keep the dogs away from the sheep.
Within a few minutes he made the ag-
gregation of children keep their dis
lance.
Roger caused his sensation a few
days ago by drinking beer at the Eus-
tace bar. He had the mahogany to
himself as he was getting away with
the amber fluid which he seemed to
relish. Now Sir Roger has started out
to drink up all the beer he gets within
reach of, and is being put down as a
topper and bad actor when he has
tanked a few ales.
When the bucko made his way in to
where they were drinking at the bar
the other day chain and all followed.
There was a scattering when he en-
tered at the back door, and those who
didn't drop their beer in fright forgot
they had a thirst for the rest of the
day.
Roger lost no time getting his fore
feet up on the round railing at the top
of the bar. Then he winked and
bleated to Anthony O'Malley, the bar
tender. A four-masted schooner of
ale was showed over and Sir Roger
gulped it. 1t was great fun, and the
goat tucked away another in quick
time, never once looking up.
Finishing the second, he was ordered
off the bar and walked slowly to the
back yard. Twice a day he calls for
his ale, but lest Roger might start a
rough house some time, his potions are
limited to two.

of regaining his health which was
broken by three months confinement
in prison in the celestial kingdom.

Il had been in the British customs
service for about eight months. II
was my duty to go hundreds of miles
into the interior and collect revenues
at different points. My starting place
was Canton and | deposited my col
lections at Rangoon. 1t was an awful
trip made on foot, on horseback, by
canals and by coOlie trains.
In little Chinese town, whose
name | have forgotten, far in the in
terror, | ran across young English
man named Charles Frank. | met him
at the house of French padre. Frank
was broke and was anxious to get
out of the country. He begged me tc
take him along. l had a well equipped
coolie train and plenty of provisions
and, as l felt sorry for the poor fel
low, | agreed.
THE trip started favorably enough
and Frank seemed to be in good
health and overjoyed at the prospects
of getting back into civilization again
We safely reached the mountain pass
between Rangoon and the river front
whose course we had been following
and were about half way to the sum
