GOOD ROADS IN SWEDEN.
Every Landowner Must Keep His Sec
ton of Highways Improved.

Every Landowner Must Keep His Sec
ton of Highways Improved.
G. Zcrgkirst Of Climax Springs, Mo,
who is especially interested In the
Kansas City Stars fight for good
roads, says: Perhaps it would be of
interest to know how the roads In
Sweden are maintained. There are
three classes Of roads highways,
village roads and private roads. The
highways run between county seats,
and the grades are limited to 21@ per
cent. The village roads cannot be in
excess Of a t per cent grade. The cost
of building is divided among the land
owners according to acreage, whether
1t is government land or is owned by
private citizens, except where one own
er has an extremely costly road to
build along his land. In that case he
gets due allowance in distance for the
cost Of construction. No village road
can be opened until it is built to the
proper grade.
"AS TO maintenance, every landOwn-
er must keep his section of the road
properly improved If he does not
government inspector orders the i'm
provemCnt at public expense, and IL
the landowner fails to pay the cost the
government takes a sufficient amount
of his personal property and sells it to
satisfy the Judgment.
every man must maintain his own
roads In that country under govern
ment supervision. One provision of the
government law in Sweden also Is that
the driver is not allowed to ride up the
hills on a loaded wagon If 1t is neces-
sary to use whip on his horse"

Dora, the pet of the household, was
very fond of oysters, and after eating
thought of her dear mother busy at her
sewing machine. She selected nice
large oyster, put it in plate and car

with her little daughters thoughtful
ness, ate the oyster and said:

a minister of Crosmi"hael, in Fife,
frequently talked from the pulpit to
his hearers with amusing ana indeed

passage from Exodus one day. he pro-
ccedcd thus: "'And the Lord said unto
Moses s'-sneck that door. I'm thinking

A Way to Wealth.

Upon one occasion the late Earl Pou-
spcndthrift was paying his physician
and on handing the medical gentleman
400 guincas in gold asked him if he
knew how to grow rich. The doctor

The other bill places a tax of IS on
all automobiles under thirty horse

ANOTHER FLYING MACHINE
Rocky Ford Man Has Invented an
Air Sh1D

While the eyes Of the world have been
watching the apparently wonderful evo-
lutions through tho air of the Wright
brothers and other noted aviators an
humble citizen Of Rocky Ford has been
quietly at work upon ideas of mis- own
with such success that he has at last
perfected an invention that will enable
him to glide through the air like bird.
With other close friends the Enterprise
man was this week invited into the work.
shop Of the invsntor-whoss identity we
have been requested to keep secret until
he can secure the letters patent that he
has applied for-whsre we witnessed q
practical demonstration that convinced
US that the Rocky Ford man has solved
q problem that has vexed the inventors Of
ages past.
BY means Of q small working model
the inventor demonstrated that he could
raise his machine straight in the air to
any height desired and skim throughIspaee
at speed regulated by the will Of the
operator.
OF the mechanism the Enterprise will
not attempt a description as it Is so very
simple that it would b very easy for un-
serupulous imitators to copy the general
plan. We will simply say that the in
ventor has fashioned his machine to rise
and soar like = bird. The machine 10 very
compact and can bs made to sustain =
great weight. The estimated cost Of
construction is very small and we UNDER
stand that local parties are already ne
eotiating for the rights to manufacture.
and It may be but . short time before We
can have the pleasure Of looking down
upon our fair city from the deck Of a
Rocky Ford flying machine.

Reports from every section tell Of q

evident that the campaign at the factory

PARLIAMENTARIANS
DRINK $4,000
KITCHEN COMMITTEE or HOUSE
or COMMONS SMILES THERE'S
PROFIT IN IT.

LONDON February Cover $4,000
was spent for drinks by members of
Parliament I'm the restaurant of the
House of Commons IN the first six
months of last year.
The report Of the kitchen committee
Of the House of Commons shows that
from January LIST to August LIST l2S,67i
meals were served the sale OF food
during that period bringing in a little
over $4,000 AS $4,000 went for
wines. ales and spirits, It means that
for every twenty-five cents expended
on a meal an additional fourteen cents
was spent for drink
Considering that nearly one-third of
the members of the House of Com
mons are teetotalers, II is estimated
that the non-teetotalers, for every
quarter for food, spend at least an
other twenty-five cents for drink.
The kitchen committee smiles
blandly at this partiality of the .a.
P.s for drink, because where the pro-
fits on food are only $1,000 on an out
lay Of $4,000, the profits on wines,
ales and spirits amount to over $500
on an outlay of $4,000.
