that is spent on them, year after
year, is practically thrown away,
with nothing to show for it in the
end. The wear and tear on horses,
wagons and harness, and the loss
of time in getting around over bad
roads, would pay a double rate of
interest on the cost of improved
highways.
Be a thinker, a talker. a worker
for highway improvements.
We have been accused of presum-
ing to know what the vehicle of the
future will be, when we advocate
the issuing of bonds for highway
improvement. We presume our
worthy brother who makes the ac-
cusation, when he speaks of the
future" means the next fifty years,
the length of time for which we be-
lieve the bonds should be issued
and in answer to him, we do pre-
sumo to know this much of it-that
it will travel on wheels, and, con-
sequently, will need roads. Posi-
bly, our worthy brother is looking
for such a wonderful improvement
of the airship that the necessity for
roads will be abolished do not
That there will be great strides in
aviation, during the next half cen
tury, none can gainsay, but it takes
a more vivid imagination than ours
to picture a ton of hay or a road of
coal flying through the air Maybe
these things will come to pass, but
in our humble judgment, there will
be many people on the face of the
earth, even for travel on the high
ways. There have been wheeled
vehicles, continuously, since Noah S
time, and we believe there will be
such until the millennium.

Those, who few weeks ago COM
planned of the dry weather, will
probably change their wall now, and
cry for less wet This fault finding
spirit reminds us of the old story of
the lrishman, who, after coming to
this country made the following
comment on the American way of
discussing the weather: over in ole
Ireland, when we were favored with
a pleasant day, we thanked the Lord
for it; but over in this country when
ever the Americans were favored with
a nice day instead of being thank
ful, they would say this is another
bloomin' weather breeder"

Those interested in base ball have
laid out considerable cash and hard
work by way of improvement on the
ball field. To those who are not fa-
miliar with the amount of work re-
quired to root out the stones, rocks,
stumps and trees, and to fiji in. grade
and erect back-stop, it seems as if
more should have been accomplished
for the money. When the work was
begun some four years ago, the only
thing about the lot that was favor
able was its location. The infield was
covered with brush and stumps, and
was so rough that COW was in grave
danger of breaking a leg if she at
tempted to cross it. but as it was the
only available place it was decided to
locate the diamond at this point
Since that time, fully fifty dollars
have been laid out in the effort to
make the place fit to play on

ment Should be Vigilant.
Whenever a progressive move
ment is started the "pullback pro-
jects himself into its path, but for
tunately for such movements, the
"pull-back" eventually finds him
self run over.
1t cannot be expected that the
Good Roads movement would be an
exception to the attacks of these
pessimists. Their opposition is
usually the result of ignorance, and
their arguments such as appeal only
to the unthinking, but, fortunately
for the Good Roads cause, there are
very few citizens in our state to-
day, outside of the big cities, who
have not been doing heap of think
ing on this subject
Every day sees large accessions
to the ranks of workers in the Good
Roads cause, and the more that
people think of or study the prob
lem, the more converts to highway
improvements are made.
Some communities think they can
not afford good roads, while, as a
matter of fact, 1t is the bad roads
they cannot afford. Bad roads are

Give the turkey hen and her

Guinea fowls will now be laying,
and a watch must be kept on their

them. The eggs had better be

It's annoying, perhaps, just about
supper time, to have to stop to wash
dirty eggs when the hen breaks
one, but this is task that must not
be put off until tomorrow
Because hens are out on the land
now do not therefore think they do
not need shells and such things
They may not be able to find bit
of that kind of food in all their

mean a shortage in eggs with good
shells on them.
This is the month that gapes are
more or less prevalent on heavy
soils. Chicks should not be brood
ed on the same ground that was
accorded to chicks afflicted with the
disease last year. Place them on
ground that was never before used

When mems begin to lay soft
shelled eggs it is time to ask your
self, Where am | failing to give
them the food they need?" Don't
be satisfied until you can answer
that question. Almost always it is
due to lack of shell-making ma
