In the method Of paying taxes in
Pennsylvania, Taxes are now payable
at discount for period Of ninety days
after duplicates are issued, instead of
sixty days as heretofore. Several
collectors in Mercer county, before
they became aware OF the change,
posted notices stating that the discount
would be allowed for sixty days only,
but this fact will not deprive properly

Heretofore July 81 has been the last

FIRST AID TO THE FARMERS.

Those who see in the proposed Du-
Bois Reynoldsville Brookville paved
road only agreat automobile boulevard
reason shalowly. Deeper than pleasure
lies necessity.
Jefferson county's surface wealth Of
lumber and coal is disappearing. Those
who formerly derived an income from
these sources as owners or laborers
must find other employment or leave
the country for undeveloped fields in
their old lines Many have already
taken the latter course and the popuia-
tion Of the county is not rapidly in
creasing.
II Jefferson county would hold her
present place 10 wealth and population,
she must develop new lines to take the
place of the exhausted resources.
There are but two ways in which to do
this: the establishing of manufacturing
plants, and the developing of her farm
ing land on larger scale than has
heretofore been attempted. OF the two
the latter is infinitely the more i'm
portant and the safer, as has been
proved by experiments in Reynoldsville
in recent years. Farming in this
section has been side issue with most
land owners, for the coal and lumber
gave quicker returns. Those who have
given all their attention to the land,
and worked inteligently, have found
the pursuit quite as profitable in the
course of years, as that of any other
profession.
If therefore, farming is to be the
mainstay of the county in future years,
the country districts must be given at
tention never before granted them.
And the greatest boon that can be con-
ferred on the rural district is the
paving OF the roads leading to it. Bad
roads mean isolation for the farmer,
means loss to him in time and money
and make country life uninviting both
to the man on the farm and the man
looking for new home. Bad roads
means stagnation il the country dis
tricts, sparse settlements and eventual
abandonment OF the farms. Good
paved roads, on the other hand, mean
more cultivated farms, mean appreciat-
ion of values of farm lands, mean
pleasanter life for the rural residents
through easy communication, mean
more profit to the farmer through
giving easier access to the markets.
Viewed financially, the difference be-
tween good and bad roads is the
difference between prof t and loss.
The farming land of Jefferson county
must be developed, but it never will be
until life on the farm is made pleasant,
and profitable. The granting of good
roads to the farmers is the greatest step
in that direction. The Dubois. .Reyn-
oldsville-Brookville paved road project
is part of a greater movement which
eventually will cover the entire county
and link every important town and
country district with broad, smooth
brick highways for the unimpeded
passage of the chariot Of prosperity;
which chariot, in our unpoetic imagina-
tion, is nothing more than farmers

duce of the farm on its road to the
great markets OF the town and city.
II such roads become merely auto
mobile boulevards, it will be because
under such conditions every farmer may
become prosperous enough to own his
own auto

| brilliance to compensate for his looks
His devotion to Natalie was his CHIEF
charm. But he did not get excited
about it.
Moreover, he did not appear con-
scious that it was extraordinary that
Natalie seemed completely satisfied
with him. He didn't know any reason
why she shouldn't like him. They had
grown up together, Tom having the
run of the house, her father being so
used to seeing him about and having
him under foot that he had not real
lied Tom was no longer a boy. OF
course, being her father he lever
would realize that Natalie also had
grown up.
Mrs. Flecker and other women did
what they could to give Natalie a
chance, as they called it, They invited
her to dinner and artfully asked eligi-
BILE young men at the same time. They
called her my dear" and lectured her
on making the best of ones opportuni-
ties and the awfulness of matrimonial
mistakes.

1t is not, however, as is very generally

The celebrated traveller, Marco Po-

announce to Europe the existence of
paper money in China under the mo-

notes were called djaou, or djaw, a
