TOWN IMPROVEMENT.
Co o-operation a Prime Essential TO
Progress In This Week.

-S~~''N'N''
Progress In This Wc-k.
In communities where little has been
accomplished in the way of civic i'm
provement it has been proved that
general apathy rather than unwilling
ness has been the chief cause. There
is no question as to what may he done
by determined and Jealous co-opcra-
tion. says the Los Angeles Times. In
stances could he cited of communities
pulling solidly on one end of the rope
whcr" news of the rapid trnnsforma-
ton reads almost like a page from the
"Arabian Nights" Collectively any
community is Il power for good. limit
ed we stand; divided we fall" or fail
is all of truth and none of doubt.
Many claim that where there are
many interests in common it is difficult
to effect active cooperation. but it
would appear on the face of things
that the more interests a community
has in common the closer should he
the union. If there be great diversity
of interests and many claims to first
in order of Improvement. an orglniza-
tion is needed so that these matters
may be put to vote and then those
tasks first tackled which a majority de-
eide are of highest Importance. Vastly
more can be accomplished # all pull
together than if some pull contrariwiSe
or not at all, and it is quite possible,
if all lend n helping hand, the whole
desired list may be cleared up. 1t is
little short of phenomenal to mark the
work accomplished in some of our
lesser cities by enthusiastic collective
effort
But, to return to the first cOnSidera-
ton. whenever a general rundown
tone is noted Il widespread and almost
criminal apathy will be found. and all
that is needed is for the people to be
aroused to Il sense of their duties, re-
SponsibiltieS and the possibilities of
Improvement. individual energy is
often manifest in these Slumberng
places. Why may it not be put in a
collective effort? 1t will usually be
found, after Il free and frank discus
sion, that n community has few CON

orally be satisfactorily adjusted with
justice to all and therefore harshly to
none
After a fair trial of an Improvement
association no community will long be
without one, even though the first or
ganization should founder. The rocks
which wrecked the first voyage may
be avoided in the next, and the expert
cnce of discussing the pubIic's needs
and general good is highly educativc
and. once INDUCED in. leaves a strong
taste for more. These discussions of
ten bring to light a leader. heretofore
obscure, who not only brings his own
community out of the wilderness, but
becomes a public servant of great
value and esteem.

lowing to say with reference to road

You may he thankful for the efforts
of the state grange; you may be thank
full for what your representatives in
the Legislature have done for the agri
cultural interests. 1t was due to the
state grange that we have made such
progress in the settlement of our high
Way problem, but much remains to be
done We do not want good roads un-
til we have roads that will be kept
good and the money appropriated for
them economically laid out We should

Gentle Persuasion.

Many stories are told of the cccCn>
tric doimgS and sayings of an old cIer>
gyman who lived in Maize some years
ago At one time there had been
fight among some men, one of whom
was seriously hurt. \ trial took place,
and the old minister, who had seen tho
aifray, was summoned as witness.
"What was Salson doing?" was the
first question.
ooh, he was slashing around"
"Wcll, sir, just what do you mean by
that:"
"Why, he was knocking about him
here and there"
Nov, sir, kindly tell US plainly what
SalSon did to this man.
why he-he enticed him. said the
old minister slowly.
"Enticed him! UOw?'
"lIe cnticed him with q cr0wbar.
He used the Crowbar to persuade the
man, to entice him, and 10y series of
poleS and blows he succeeded in doing
It," said the minister mildly.-Youth'
Companion.

Electricity and Street Trees.

1t would appear from careful records
kept at many far removed points that
the damage to street trees from cleo
tricity is very little, says the Los An
gelcS Times. No. authentic cases are
known of an alternating current kill
i'll" tree, though an occasional burn
ing or Disagreement has been recorded.
High tension currents are dangerous,
but injuries may be prevented by
proper insulation. Many cases are
known of trees being killed by direct
current, such as are generally used by
street railways, and they have even
been killed by guy wires for such sys.
TENS. In some cities and towns more
street trees are killed by leakage of
gas than all other causes combined.

BAD Roads Come Aioh,

1t costs the farmers of the United
States $3O000,000 to haul their corn
crop to market and 100000 to get
the wheat crop to the elevators. For
hauling twelve of the principal prod
ucts of the farm to the market places
1t costs farmers $T3OO0,O millions,
please understand. These figures are
made up by government experts. Troll
ley lines will in few years reduce
this cost materially, and good roads
will lessen the cost still more, says the
Atlanta Constitution. When the roads
are in such condition that two tons can
be hauled in one load instead of 300
pounds the saving will be enormous.
Is there any reason, then, why farmers
rhould not do everything they can to
ret good roads?

MODEL ROAD FOR ILLINOIS.

Several Counties Planned.

Several Counties Planned.
A campaign designed to interest
farmers in the good roads and good
bridges movement has been started
by the Illinois highway commission,
says the Chicago Tribune
Spend better. not more" is the Slo-
gan on which the commission bases its
appeal to the agricultural taxpayers.
Farmers institutes throughout Hi
uoiS have been invited to co operate
with the commission, which has offer
ed to send speakers to their meetings
to explain in detail the plans for the
campaign In each county there is a
farmers institute. and 100 of the 1O2
such bodies in existence have Si%nitied
their acceptance of the commissions
offers for cooperation. Circulars con-
tanning printed suggestions of topics to
be discussed by the speakers and the
audiences at the institute gatherings
are being mailed to the farmers OF the
state Many of these suggestions deal
with the details of scientific road and
bridge building.
one of the special projects of the
commission is to construct in the near
futurc n so called "objcct lesson" road.
This highway will traverse several
counties of the state 1t will be an
ideal country highway. emphasizing In
Il special way the value and inrXpen-
sivcncss of dirt roads.
Earth road draES will I've utilized to
Il large extent. These dragS are made
of logs Roads made with these dragS
are laid and finished With amazing
speed. They are good at least nine
months in every year. Roads of this
sort are becoming quite the vogue
among the farmers. The number of
miles of road made with these log
dragS is now upward of l5,00o.
Designing of road bridges will be
made a special feature of the commits
sion's work The farmers will be told
and shown how to build these struc-
lures at the right price. The special
value of re-enforced concrete for this
class of work will be emphasized by
all the lecturers.
The corps of lecturers selected to
pcrcgrinate among the farmers inSti-
tutcs includes the following: \. n.
