GOOD ROADS.
Amendment to be Voted on in
Kentucky Next Fall.

What are you doing for the good
roads amendment to the constitution,
which is to be voted on next fall?
Remember the question of National
Government aid for good roads is be-
ing agitated and 1t is probable that
a general law on the subject will be
passed by Congress in the near fu-
tuTe. But the law will most certain
ly limit its benefits to those States
which are prepared 10 Cooperate
with the National Government in
the work. Millions of dollars may
be appropriated by the National Gov
ernment for road Improvement, but
kentucky will get none OF il unless
we have prepared ourselves to cooper
ate with the Govcrnmnt. Many of tn,
States already have laws authorizing
State aid for good roads, and such
States win get the money which I'm.
Gle Sam appropriates.
Shall Kentucky be left out? She
will be, unless the proposed amend,
ment TO the constitution is adopted
~ may not be unless farmers ovei
the State take an interest in tn,
matter. Commence now to talk tn,
matter up with your neighbors and
show them the importance oi
voting for the amendment Farmer
ars the ones who will benefit mos
by the good reads.-Farmers' HON,

The Happiest Man,

The happiest man in the land today
is the successful farmer. He sits un-
der his own vine and fig tree, undis-
turbed by TIE maddening noise of the
great city. Business men fail, rail-
roads go into hands of receivers,
booming towns collapse, all business
stagnates. But the wise farmer car
snap his finger at these things. He
is the monarch of all he surveys on
his broad acres. And the honesty Of
his. boys and the purity of his girls
Is larded against temptation, and
INF em he is giving the country Its
bd manhood and womanhood. The
for or is to be envied, and, II he
is lot contented with his lot he Is
lacking In his wisdom.

Mr.. Wanamaker, you are one or
the largest advertisers of the country.

advertisements running during tIrss
hard times. Many of the merchants
have let them drop. Does It pay
to advertise when the times are hard y
i certainly think So" replica
Mr.. Wanamaker. When the timess
are hard and the people are noe-.
buying is the very time that adver-
tising should be the heaviest. YOU
want to get the people to seee what
you have to sell, and you must adver--
tise to do that. When the times ares.
good they will come Of their OWE
accord. But believe in ADVERTISING
all the time. We never stop advertis--
ing.
You use the newspapers almogf.
altogether for advertising, do YOU
not ?"
Yes; / have tried all kinds but n
think newspaper advertising is by fas-
the best. l used to spend grear
