Good roads naturally are a rural
problem. In the cities no progress can
be made unless tie thoroughfares used
for business and pleasure are paved
and maintained in good condition.
Country towns are concerned as much
with good roads as are the farmers
who use them. In country towns busI-
ness practically Is at a standstill in
rainy seasons. Bad roads keep the
farmers at home. II the farmer had a
1T thorouShfare to the village he could
do his trading on days when he could
do no tasks in the fields. 1t is far
more desirable that the farmer should
visit his nearest town In the rainy
season than at any other time. as the
commodities he has to Sell command
the highest prices when rain keeps him
at home.

ricultural college were among the first

Ron o. Highways Improved.
G. zergkirst of Climax Springs, No,
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 there-highways,
village roads and private roads. The
highways run between county seats,
and the grades are limited to 235 per
cent. The village roads cannot be In
excess Of 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. II he does not a
government inspector orders the I'm
provement at public expense. and If
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"

PRINCE NICHOLAS
To Be KING

Vienna, Aug. 14.-If nothing hap
pens to prevent it. Europe will have
an additional king one year from to-
day. Prince Nicholas of Montenegro,
who today begins his fiftieth year of
his reign, has announced that on the
fiftieth anniversary of his accession
to the throne, which will be on Aug
ust IA, 1910, he will assume the title
of king. No objection to this change
of title was made by the other pow
ers, as there was really no reason to
object. Montenegro being a free and
Independent country, owing alleg-
lance to no other nation. The Monte
negrinians, who were i'll pleased
when their beloved ruler surrendered
his autocratic powers a few years ago
and gave them a constitution, are
perfectly delighted with the prospect
of having a king for their ruler one
year hence The future king is the
idol of his people and it is generally
admitted that they have every reason
to ge satisfied with his rule.
Prince Nicholas was born Octo-
Der 7, 1871, and is a direct descend
ant of the noble warriors who fought
under the Balsas against the Turks
in the eleventh and twelfth centuries
George Balsa. the last of the line,
died in 1921, and Stefan Cernoievics,

tenegro. Then followed line of

JAPS
CO ON STRIKE
ROUND HOUSE AND COAL BUNK
Err EMPLOYEES GETTING $1.15
$1.75.

General Foreman Phelan came
down to town Wednesday morning
hunting men, and when asked the
cause said his Japs has struck for
higher wages, says the Leavenworth
Echo. From twenty-five to thirty
have been constantly employed at the
round house and about the coal
bunkers for the last six or eight
weeks, with varying satisfaction.
They have been paid $115 per
day, which, by comparison with wages
paid Americans, seems small, but it
must be remembered that it takes
three Japs to equal two able-bodied
Americans.
Just what the outcome of the strike
will be can not be told. Laboring
men are somewhat scarce. Railroad
building is active throughout the
state, and the harvesting in eastern
Washington has given employment
to many who were heretofore idle
Mr.. Phelan picked up several men,
but it is doubtful if he will get all
he needs.

hibits clearly defined intelligence: The ma
ternal nature shows up in some of the meanest
insects to a wonderful degree. The pine silk
worm moth tears all the hair and down from
its own body in order to make a soft nest for its
young-and expires soon after. This is to a
greater extent than the rabbit, which tears only
the fur from its belly for its nest.
Some gall insects even immediate themselves
to protect their offspring. As the insect, full
to great distension with eggs, expels them
gradually till all have been laid and nothing but
a hollow shell remains of the mother, she sees
that her task has been accomplished and
gathers the eggs into pile, spreads herself
over them fastens the sides Of her own body
down over them, and thus dies. This of course
forms an impermeable covering for the eggs
till they are Matched The mother has here
paid for the childbirth with her life, and the
children are born in the shelter of her corpse.
