JOB WORK A SPECIALITY.


THE OPINION Press office is now
in condition to pay special attention
to small job work. During the
construction period of the Capital
City Press at Montpelier, which
office has been established largely to
take care of our increasing foreign
trade, we could not and did not
take much time to look after an
increase of business.
While our casting plant has been
moved to Montpelier, we have
plenty of up-to-date Job type for all
sizes and kinds of job work. No
orders are large enough to be turned
away. No orders are small enough
to be sighted.
We are now just ready for an
active campaign, and we are pre-
pared to offer you all kinds of Job
printing for as little money as you
can get it done in any shop.
We want your work. You want
our work. Write us today and let
us estimate on your work. We can
fill your needs promptly and you
will be pleased. Send us your work.
Our reduced prices will hit your
pocket-book in the right spot.

Honorable" So far as we know,
the only reason why the gentle
man, although smart and promis-
ing, should merit the title is the
fact that he has been States attor-
ney in one of Vermont's fourteen
counties. He probably would be
the first, also, to decry the use
of the word in connection with his
name, for he is a sensible fellow
and fully cognizant of it's impor-
lance and of the fact that it should
be used sparingly, if ever. But the
newspaper rather makes him APP

Vermont is just waking up to
the fact that her resources as a
summer resort are not properly
utilized. She has as fine scenery
as her neighbor New Hampshire
and as many natural attractions.
But the State lacks accommodations
for summer visitors. There are
few hotels of any
and these as it is are
offered more patronage than they
can accept. Large hotels and lot
of them are needed and good roads
by which they may be reached in
comfort. There is every prospect
now that they will be provided,
as interest in the matter is very
keen. Then with liberal advertis-
ing after the manner of New Hamp-
shire and Maine the Green Noun
tain State will get its share of
summer business-a much larger
share than it gets now."-Lowell,

several carl Dads of lime last spring,
spread il under his trees and then
ploughed the ground. The opera

GOOD ROADS.

Shawnee county and a few of the
| other larger counties in the state have
already obeyed the law of the last leg
islature requiring the appointment of
special county engineers, in all counties
having populations of 10000 and over
who shall have charge OF the road and
bridge construction work in their re-
spective communities. Counties with
smaller populations are authorized by
the same law to secure the services of
such an official if their boards of COM
missioners are disposed to have one.
And if Kansas is to have good roads.
generally. roads that will be of untold
benefit to the state, it would appear
that each and every county should
avail itself of the opportunity to
employ engineers to take charge of the
work. This work can scarcely be un-
dertaken on an adequate basis by any
county. or the townships therein, uu-
less it is done under the direction of an
engineer, who would naturally work
out plans for road improvement along
uniform and satisfactory lines.
Nor will the people of the state, as a
whole, get the full benefit of good
roads il only a county here and there
employs an engineer and gets to work
improving its roads. 1t is not so very
many miles across counties in various
sections OF the state and good roads in
one county which will run into mud
holes in the next will be far from be-
ing good roads for Kansas. The coun-
ty that has good roads will be bene
flied considerably, of course, but a
county with good roads running into
bad ones will not be much better off, in
many instances. than If it had nothing
of good roads at all. So this good roads
undertaking which is beginning to get
an excellent start in the state should
be engaged in by each and every
county.

HOW TO KILL B1NDwEED.

An article by H. r. Cox. scientific
assistant, office of farm management,
bureau of plant industry of the federal
department of agriculture, on the
eradication of bindweed, or wild morn
ing-glory, has just been issued in the
form of a farmers bulletin. Its sum-
mary cannot fail to be of interest to
the farmers, many of whom have been
troubled considerably by this pest of
the fields. This summary follows:
The names bindweed and wild morn
ing-glory refer to the several species
of the genus of plants known as Con-
Yolvulus that are considered weeds, in
Guiding primarily hedge bindweed
(Convolvulus sepium) and field bind
weed &C. arvensis), two other species,
Convolvu1us sepium repens and c.
californicus, being of secondary i'm
portance.
These weeds are a very serious
detriment to the growing of crops in
many regions. They are especially i'm
portant in cultivated crops, are some
times of serious nature in small
