HUGHES WILL ASK
 PEOPLE TO DECIDE

New York, August 11.-There were many party leaders at republican state head quarters here today, the most prominent being Representative J. Sloat Fasset of Elmira, and John A Merritt, collector of the port of Buffalo. The question of who is to head the state ticket was the general subject of discussion. Collector Merritt said that Speaker Wadsworth was very strong in the western tier of coun- ties, and that his boom for governor would be launched at the Livingston county convention, which will be held just before the state convention. Gov ernor Hughes also has many friends in that part of the state, said MT. Merritt
 Messrs. Barnes and Fassett echoed the declaration of Governor Hughes that it is for the people to decide who shall be nominated for the governorship

London, August 11.-Flushed with the successes of his new racing yacht, sham rock, which has won 24 out of the 27 con- tests in which she started in the regattas held this year in home waters, Sir Thomas Lipton is more anxious than ever to try again for the America cup. There are still six weeks for him to issue a challenge for a race off Sandy Hook in August of 1909. and he Is hoping that some intima- tion will come from the New York Yacht club that a challenge, if sent, would be accepted. Without such intimation. Sir Thomas will not ask any British yacht club to challenge on his behalf.
 "The ambition of my life" Sir Thomas said today, lis to bring back the cup to Great Britain. Personally, l am willing to challenge under the old rules. but cannot get a designer of standing to build another freak racer, so I am waiting an intimation that the New York Yacht club will accept a challenge similar to that sent last year, which I have reason to be- lieve some members of the club favor.

When the parents arrived the baby was lying on the ground with the big rooster standing over it. pecking it's face and hands. The baby was bleeding profusely from dozen or more wounds. The physician who attended the child says it will recover

GOOD ROADS
AND BAD ONES
BY Howard HI. Gross, Special
Agent, u. S. Department
of Agriculture.

We often hear farmers say: why
for eight or nine months in the year
we have fine roads, good enough, for
ANYBODY. Of course, there are few
DAVIS now and then after heavy rains
when wheeling is heavy, but the roads
soon dry out and are good again"
In the above defense of earth roads
(and it is the strongest defense posi-
.ble) lies really the strongest reason
far hard roads-roads that are good
30 days in the month and IL months
in the year. After heavy spring or
summer rains, when for two or three
days the land is too wet to work, Is
lust the time when the farmer or his
wife would like to 60 to town to 90
the shopping, and the teams are nee
essarily idle. Bad roads prevent the
trip.
In the winter and spring for three
or four months, the roads are usually
bad. and often worse, and this is the
only time of all the year when the
farmer and his family are not busy,
when they have plenty ofstime to run
around; it is season of recreation,
or it ought to be. Do bad roads add
to the pleasure of this holiday season
and make it one of enjoyment and i'm
provement? Far from it. Roads that
ARE nearly always good are usually
bad at the wrong time. Like the
balky horse, they fail when most
needed.
Less than 40 years ago the town.
ships of many of the middle western
states voted bonds to help build the
railroads. Is there any reason why
the railroads should not now help the
farmers improve the highways over
which their freight must come to
them? This is one of the features of
the State Aid plan-the taxing of all
who are benefited, instead of placing
the entire burden upon the farmers
shoulders.
