Money for Good Roads.

Money for Good Roads.
In 1909 the states, counties, cities,
towns and school districts of the
United States borrowed more money
than ever before, issuing bonds to the
amount of three hundred and forty
million dollars, which is over one
third the funded debt of the federal
government. Among the purposes for
which the bonds were issued streets
and bridges stands first, accounting
Tor twenty-one per cent of the total:
but the improvement of public high
ways represented by this expenditure
of seventy-odd million dollars was
pretty largely confined to the cities.
The plan of Estate aid'' for country
road improvements has been adopted
in more than half the states and is
under consideration in most of the
others.
Many counties, during the year,
issued bonds for road Improvement.
Agricultural colleges, the department
OF agriculture at Washington and
various volunteer bodies are doing
excellent educational work for better
highways, but we still think the sub
ject receives less attention than it de-
serves.
True, it is prosaic. No dramatic
appeal to the imagination is possible
on its behalf. Colorado, for example,
aoated eleven million dollars of irri-
cation bonds last year, and there one
can readily visualize the new wealth
that will spring from the investment,
But to lessen the cost of country road
haulage is tantamount to creating
wealth. Very likely it is still true, as
an investigated showed it to be in 'O5,
that the average cost of hauling a
bushel of wheat over the short dis
tance from the farm to the railroad
station is almost half the cost of con-
veying it by rail from the station to
the seaboard and more than half the
cost of carrying it across the Atlantic;
and the average cost of hauling a
hundred pounds of cotton from the
farm to the railroad is sixteen cents.

Fit Men For Jurors.-One of our
state exchanges complained last week
that good men were not drawn to serve
on the juries in its county.
If that was the case the trouble
ought to be very easily located.
The clerk of the court, the county
auditor and the county treasurer are
the jury commissioners.
The law plainly says that only good
men shall he drawn to serve on the
juries.
If unfit men are drawn To serve as
jurors, the jury commissioners are
responsible for it.
Such things do not happen by acci-
dent.
The law plainly says that the
jury commissioners shall know the
men drawn to serve on the iuries-shan
know that they are men Of good moral
character, men of intelligence. etc.
The law says that if the commission
erS do not know that q man drawn TO
serve as a juror is a fit man they shall
reject him.
There is no way under the sun by
which an unfit man can get on the
jury except 10y the consent Of tn" jury
commissioners.
So that if i'm any county there should
be unfit men on the jurics, the people
should hold the jury commissioners

"A missionary in the South Seas was
distressed because his duSky parish

hut.
AN elderly dame called one after
noon for spiritual advice. The mis-
sionary noted how enviously her eyes
rested on the calico, and he took up a
two-yard piece of the yellow, saying:
I'll give you this If you'll wear it,
The female draped the calico about
her like a skirt and departed in great

Prayed AGAINST Time.

Members of the house who had con-
gregated in the cloak room during the
general debate on the tariff were dis
cussing the recent prayer of the Rev.
Mr.. Coudrey, the house chaplain, de-
ploring undertaking.
For some reason" said one of the
veteran members, the chaplain's
prayer reminded me of the most anus
ing incident l ever saw during my en-
tire service in the house of representa-
tives. The incident occurred many
years ago, so l have forgotten the
names of the actors. but there are still
members of the house who recall it.
"One day the journal clerk rushed
into the house while the chaplain was
praying He looked through the draw
ers of his desk in hasty manner and
then hustled to the side of the chap
lain.
Keep on praying he urged earn
estly. We can't find the journal
Mr.. Chaplain was so startled that
he faltered in his prayer, but after a
moment lie Setllltu W grasp lhS SiNuo
ton. He bowed his head still lower
and continued to pray. The usual time
devoted to prayer in the house is about
a minute. Members began to shift un-
easily on their feet, to look at their
watches, and, instead of bowling their
heads in reverence, they looked at the
speaker pleasantly. The speaker,
evidently, has been informed of the
difficulty and, realizing that the bus
mess of the house could not proceed
without the journal, he was willing
that the members get plenty Of prayer.
After ten minutes, solid praying the
preacher showed signs of getting nerv-
Gus. He knew the members were get
ting restive and he looked down to one
of the clerks.
Don't stop pleaded the clerk. We
haven't found it yet
"The preacher did not stop until he
had been praying for 10 minutes, at
the end of which time the journal clerk
rushed into the house bearing the pre-
cious book under his arm.
Amen said the chaplain, with a
sigh Of relief, and the speaker prompt

Dean Ramsay's story Of the beadle's
answer to the minister, who, annoyed
by the whining and finally the outright
barking of a dog during his sermon,
cried, John, carry that dog out" Ma,

the pulpit, Use just max him gaze out

beadle scored more heavily off his min
lister in similar circumstances. This
minister had a way of shouting at the
top of his voice as he warmed to his
sermon and thereby he excited a dog
in the congregation to howl. The bea-
die obeyed the order from the pulpit to
expel the dog, but remarked reproach-
fully: "Ay, ay, sir; but indeed 1t was

MOUSE POWER.
How a Scotch Inventor Made the lit
tie Rodents Work.

Since the days when man discovered
mcsticated animals, no more curious
form of animal power to operate ma
chincry has been recorded than that
devised by a canny Scot, one David
Hutton, who. in the last century. con-
| ceived the notion Of putting mice to
work for him.
Hutton had seen certain toys and
trinkets manufactured by the prison
ers in a French Jail. His attention had
| been especially attracted By little toy
| house there, with a wheel in the gable.
| that was caused to revOlvc rapidly by
| mouse of the common house variety.
| Hutton bought this device, and for
| long time it afforded him much amuSe-
| ment, but later he began seriously to
consider how Il "haf-Ounce power
| (the weight Of the mOuse) might be
applied to some practical end. 1t final
| ly occurred to MIN that the manufac-
ture of sewing thread might be aided
in this way.
Now, it happened that during the
| course of the Scots experiments and
| Investigations he asCertained that an
| ordinary mouse would average run OF
ten and one-half miles per day: but he
got one mouse that actually did the
extraordinary distance Of eighteen miles
i'm that time. A halfpenny's worth Of
oatmeal pOrridge was found to be SUI
ficient to feed it for period Of thirty
five days. during which time it made
362 miles.
From that time Hutton enlisted the
constant services Of two mice to prOpel
| his mill for the making OF sewing
thread. This mill was 50 constructed
| that the mouse was able to twist, twine
and reel from 100 to 100 threads a day,
Sundays not excepted, for the Scot did
not permit his religious convictions to
interfere with the project.
To perform this task the little rodent
was obliged to cover its ten and one
half miles a day, which, however, the
mouse could do with ease. on the
halfpenny's worth of oatmeal porridge,
lasting five weeks, one of the little fell
lers made 1850 threads twenty-five
inches long, and inasmuch as one PEN
ny was paid to women for every hank
made in the ordinary way, the mouse
at the rate mentioned earned IS cents
every six weeks.
So, allowing for board and for ma
chinery, there accrued to Hutton
yearly profit from each mouse of $1.5O.
Just as the inventor having demon
strated the feasibility Of his plan, was
preparing to enlarge the scope of his
enterprise by setting up 10000 of these
mouse mills, he was stricken by the i'll
ness that resulted in his death.-Har-

mortgages represent money borrowed
for investment in farm lands.
What is the cause of the rush for
farms? An Abilene, Kas., banker
answered Mr.. Lanier with this sue
cinct statement: Dollar wheat, ten
cent hogs and sixty-cent corn are pri-
marily the reason for high prices Of
land. Nothing except national disas-
ter can make any great slump in vest
ern land values. providing, OF course,
the rain continues to fall and the sun
to shine. Middle western farmers
own $4,000 automobiles. Kansas farm
ers alone spent $3,OOO,OO0 for automo-
biles last year. Half of the 10000
automobiles owned in Iowa belong to
farmers. The profits to be made in
farming account in considerable part
for the eagerness with which farm
lands are bought in.
Is there any danger from the move
ment? One insurance company re-
ports that it has, in the course Of it's
existence, bought over thirty millions
Of farm mortgages, on which all but
$16,787, 1868 have been paid OF, and
on this entire investment there has
not been lost a dollar of either prin-
cipal or interest and not an acre of
land acquired. One-third Of its total
assets go into such forms of invest
ment.

TO TEACH SWIMMING.

The Ravenswood branch Of the
Young Mems Christian association in
Chicago has offered to teach swim
ming free to the students Of eight
north side Chicago schools The sug-
gestion is made that the principals
take the names and addresses Of boys
who are unable to swim and the asso-
citation will then send letter to the
parents Of these children offering free
instructions in the Y. M. G. A. swim
ming pools. In letter to Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young, superintendent Of Chi
cago schools, one of the association
secretaries says:
+ "The need for instruction in swim
ming is demonstrated by the fact that
over 1000 men and boys in the United
States and Canada are accidentally
drowned each year and the records
show that most of these persons could
not swim. Many of them were drown
ed so close to safety that had they
known a little about swimming they
could have saved themselves.
Mrs. Young is preased with the offer
and will urge parents to accept the Of
fer thus made. She believes that high
schools should have swimming pools
for such instruction and that 1t
should be given to both boys and girls
impartially.
