the scenes along the streets will be

ready perfected, and every official,
every employe understands the part

Tho Senate will complete the work

Advertising Value OF Roads.

Advertising has become one OF the
most important branches of business.
1t may be termed the dynamo OF COM
merce. 1t gives publicity to what
one has to sell and is intended to at
tract purchasers. From the newsboy
who yells Special extra" in the
streets to the broker who offers gilt

umns of the morning newspaper, ev-
cry one attempting to do business ad-
vertises, with the possible exception
of the farmer.
Municipal advertising is a recog-
nized division Of the profession. and
there are bureaus which make a spe-
cialty Of giving publicity to the ad-
vantages offered by this or that city
in the way of business opportunity.
health. culture, recreation. ETC.; to in
duce people to their particular local
tiles is one of the chief Offices OF
boards of trade.
At recent meeting of the White
Mountain On. H. Board OF Trade tha
question of good roads was discussed
from several standpoints. Among
other speakers was c. e. Farnsworth,
advertising manager OF the Boston
and Maine Railroad, who took his
specially as the subject of his re-
marks and spoke OF the benefits of
advertising for community or a sec
tion. Some of his suggestions are
worthy Of earnest consideration by
the dwellers Of country districts.
Il think you will all agree" said
the speaker. that the public do not
go to the Adirondacks or the White
Mountains because of the mere fact
that the railroads operate to these
points" Hotels, it was declared, are
necessary to induce guests, while it
is equally true that guests are essen
tial to the support of hotels.
1T has now become a necessity to
| steadily create the desire among the
public to travel, to see. to visit. TO OBJ
tain recreation, rest and entertain
ment, which are all within the vaca-
tion idea, which is no longer a fad.
but is firmly established as one of
tho necessities among all classes. ="
Mr.. Farnsworth asserted The patrons
and guests Of hotels must not be con-
fined, however, to piazzas and door
| yards when seeking recreation in the

SHOOTING FROM A soUNDLEss, sMoKELESS GUN
Hiram Maxim Shows An,
Gun and Breaks
Until the Ear No Longer Recognizes Them

New York City. - Patents having
been obtained on it in twenty-four
countries, Hiram Percy Maxim gave
a demonstration and explanation of
his silencing device for rifles before a
large number OF representatives of
newspapers and scientific publica-
tions. BY the use of sandbox tar
get the inventor made a series of ex-
periments by firing variety of rifles,
ranging in power from 4 .22 calibre
up to the new Springfield 80 calibre
military rifle. They were fired both
with and without the "silencer." and
the spectators-or perhaps it might
be better to say auditors-marvelle
at the effect of the little device. 1t

faces in the Senate. Each new Sena-
tor, accompanied by his colleague,
will step forward and take the oath.
This done, the entire assemblage will
proceed to the inaugural stand.
The ergeantS-at-arms of the Sem
ate and the House will lead the state
ly procession. This is an innovation,
as heretofore it has been led by the
marshals of the Supreme Court and
of the District of Columbia. Those
present in the Senate Chamber will
fall into line in the same order in
which they entered the Senate, and
the entire company will march to the
inaugural stand.
The troops gathered in front of the
stand will present arms as the Pres
ident and the President-elect appear
at the main door OF the Capitol, and
when they have arrived at the front
OF the stand Chief Justice Fuller will
step forward and administer to Mr..
Taft the oath Of Office, following
which the new President will deliver
his inaugural address, which is un-
derstood TO be unusually brief. From
the stand the President will descend
flight of steps to his carriage and
drive Immediately to the White
House, where he may snatch a brief
luncheon before taking his place in
the reviewing stand erected in front
of the White House grounds, from
which he will view the great parade
in his honor.
The Vice-President and the men,
bers of the Senate will return from
the inaugural stand to the Senate
Chamber, where certain brief routine
business will be transacted and ad-
journment taken.
EX-President Roosevelt, on leaving
the inaugural stand, will enter his
carriage from another entrance to the
Capitol, and, escorted by the New
York Republican County Committee,
will drive Immediately to the Union
Station, whence he will start for New
York, accompanied by the members
Of his family.
There will be a slight change this
year in the order of the progress of
the President, the President-elect
and the Vice-President and the Vice
President-elect to the Capitol. In
view Of the close relations Of Senator
Lodge to the President he will ride
in the carriage with the President
and the President-elect, as will also
Senator Knox, who as chairman of
the Committee on Arrangements is
the personal escort of the Executive.
The Vice-President will have as escort
Senator Bacon and Representatives
Burke and Gaines, while the Vice
President-elect will be accompanied
by Senator Frye, the president pro
tempore of the Senate, and Repre-
sentative Young. Heretofore only
one Senator has accompanied the two
chief figures in the ceremonies.

Highway Fences

When time, labor and money have
been expended upon the beds of coun-
try roads and highways there is the
hope Of compensation in the way OF
Improvement.
II the farmer west of the Missis-
sippi is blessed with good road lead
Ing to and from his farm, why should
not he pay some attention to the
roadside? In most cases the roadside
is the seeding ground Of the noxious
weeds with which he holds an annual
combat in his fields
There are instances where he has
an excuse. A rank growth Of weeds
and briars may be more pleasing to
look at than the fence they hide:
but where land is worth $50 or more
per acre, he forfeits that excuse.
A good. well constructed fence
along the highway will arouse a GER
tain amount Of pride which acts as
an incentive 10 get busy with the
scythe and AK and clean up.
Many county supervisors and mem-
bers Of Iowa Good Roads Associa-
ton are advocating the building of a
good highway fence-one which will
be an effectual guard against tres
pass, and add beauty to the land
scape as the real solution of the clean
roadside problem.-Good Roads Mag.

-. Kentucky First.

A recent investigation made by the
Office of Public Roads shows that
Kentucky now stands first among all
the States in the total mileage of
roads surfaced with stone, fourth in
the total mileage of macadam roads.
and eighth in the percentage cf inn
proved roads. The improved roads
have been taken as those surfaced
with stone, gravel and other mater
ials more or less permanent. For
the year 1904 Kentucky ranks if
teenth among the States in total ex-
penditures, seventeenth in total cash
expenditures. and. during that year.
thirteen States appropriated money
from their State treasures to aid i'm
the construction of roads, but Ken
lucky made no such appropriation.
Statistics compiled for the same year
show that Kentucky had 57,137 miles
OF public road, of which sixteen and
six-tenths per cent. had been i'm

Economy and Imports.

The extraordinary trade balance in
favor OF the United States has been
created wholly by the great cutting
down OF imports. In two-thirds OF
the year the falling off has been
over 1901 100000. This means econ
omy 1t is evidence OF the wholesale
reduction of expenditures by the
American people. under the stress Of
unfavorable business conditions. II
shows how freely American money is
spent for foreign products in years
when trade is booming and the de-
mand for labor Is urgent at high
wages and in excess OF the supply.
Then no other people spend as Amer
leans do. Even in hard times the
American scale Of living is far above
the standard OF Europe, and the pur.
chases Of foreign merchandise are
still much heavier than they need
be to correspond with the conditions
which prevail in the best years in
many other parts OF the world

The tests were made in the Offices
of Redding, Greeley G. Austin, coun-
sci for Mr.. Maxim, on the eighth floor
Of the Potter Building, in Park row,
and 1t was cause for wonder among
those present that the noise made by
the explosion of the rifles without the
"silencer" did not arouse the other
tenants in the building.
The "silencer" is a metal tube
about seven inches long and an inch
and quarter in diameter, which can
be fastened quickly to the end of
rifle barrel which has been provided
with thread for that purpose.
1t Is declared that the velocity Of
the bullet is not lessened in the least
degree, as the gases have done all
their work on the projectile before
they reach the "silencer."
