What Shall We Teach Our Rows?

Teach him thut it is better to die
than to lie; that it is better to be a
sen veHger or woodchopper than an
idler and dead beat; that it is just
as criminal and reprebrsible to waste
Mondayas to deseerate Sunday; that
labor is the price of all honest pos
sessions; that no one Is exempt from
the obligation to labor with head
aud hands and heart; that IAN hon
est man is the noblest work of God;
that knowledge is power; that labor
is worship and idlrness is sin; that il
is better to eat theerust Of independ-
ent poverty than To luxuriate amid

The True Gospel of Good Roads.

The Ohio Farmer has the right
idea about the principles of road
construction. That is, as to the
policy which ought to be support
ed by farmers aud developed for
their benefit. The Ohio Farmer
expresses little sympathy with
what are called Statewide high
ways, but it suggests substitute
in the form of neighborhood roads,
radiating from shipping eenters.
1t costs too much for the farmer
to get his crop to market. He
complains a great deal about rail
road charges and railroad discrim-
inntion, and in many cases these
complaints are just.
But be ought to complain about
his county authorities, about his
neighborhood officers, about the
men who have not provided good
roads to the nearest station.
Each county ought to develop
year by year system of good roads
covering the whole territory, but,
as the Ohio Farmer suggests, these
roads should be built for the ben
eft of the farmer, to enable him
to get his crops to market. Then
if they are useful to the automobile
owners or useful to other traffic,
we'll and good.
The truth is, no community can
over estimate the value of good
roads. Every dollar put in good
roads adds SO to the land IN that
neighborhood. But this does mol
mean that roads ought to be buiit
regardless of local necessities or
local movements. LII Pennsylvania
recently the Legislature appropriate
ed five million dollars to build a
highway from Philadelphia to the
Ohio line. Protest came from the
farmers about the waste and ex-
travagance, and the Governor We
toed the bill.
There is prejudice in farming
communities against the bicycle,
and it is deeper against the auto
mobile; but it is disappearing and
it ought to disappear. The farme,
ought to watch carefully the de.
velopments of the automobile. II
has heretofore been the toy of the
rich. 1t is gradually developing
on lines which may make it the
most efficient aid to the next gen.
GRAFTON of farmers.
The movement for good road.
took on a national aspect when til,
bicycle was a new instrument o.
locomotion. The roads remained
long after the bicycle craze disap
peared, or after it gave place t.
the automobile movement.
Home and Farm indorses heart
lily the views of the Ohio Farmer
1t favors good roads and many o
them, but it believes instead o
being made Statewide highways
Ior what, in railroad parlance. ar
called trunk lines, they ought t
be made local highways. HON
