I think not, for improved highways will revolutionize the conditions of our country life and make the so-called ideal coun- try home as near an ideal home as 1t is possible to find.
 q have paid especial attention to the question of good roads and the farm. Great as will be the benefits to the rail- road, to the merchant anu nlanuidcturerI to all other classes of business men and corporations, the farming interests are to be the greatest gathers.

Quite number of your counties have solved the problem of con struction and have benefited largely from their experience with them. I believe you will keep up the good work until the state is honeycombed with improved highways. What is needed now is action, action in securing the beginning or active work in oonnties where none has been done, in adding to the mileage in counties which have already started the work. Ire

DIVIDED $16,0OO,OOO IN LIFE.
William III. Singer Had PrcmOnitiol
OF Death.

Hartford Conn, Sept. s.-The
strange premonition which caused
William H. Singer. of the Carnegie
and Crucible Steel Companies, to dis.
tribute most of his $16,OOO,eO6 for.
tune among his four children several
months ago came true today, wher
he died in his cottage at Watch Hill
r. l., from injuries received in an au-
tomobile smash-up August "a.
Though the others in the party es-
capped with only minor scratches and
bruises, Singer received internal in.
juries which specialists from New
York and Pittsburg We're unable to
cope with. He was 81 years old and
leaves a widow and four children
James McCrea, president of the
pennsylvania Railroad, his close per-
sonal friend, is attending to the fun
eral arrangements and personally
oversaw the body of his old b, ,siness
and personal associate taken from
Watch Hill to Pittsburg on a special
train.
1t was year to a day from Sing
er's premonition of sudden death to
the fatal automobile accident. Heed
ing the mysterious inner warning, he
called his four children together al
dinner in New York and put under
the plate of each a check for his or
her share of the Singer fortune. One
Of the sons came from Norway to be
present. None of the children knew
of the proposed distribution of their
fathers property until il had been
accomplished
Singer was one of the pioneer iron
and steel merchants of Pittsburg. He
was not only largely interested in the
Carnegie Steel Company and the Cru
chile Steel Company, but was long
the head of the firm of Singer, Mi
mick & Co. He was a prominent
member of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers. and had other
large manufacturing and financial in
terests.
