Good Roads In Maine.

The special committee Of the Maine
state grange appointed to consider
changes in highway laws announced
as its belief at recent meeting that
the most feasible scheme of main
tanning the state road will be by hav-
ing the work done under the super
vision Of the state highway depart
ment through its state road inspectors
and that funds for the maintenance Of
these roads should come from an an
nual license fee for privilege Of opera
ting automobiles, said fees to be
graded on the basis Of horsepower.

FARM INSURANCE.
What an Ohio Mutual Company
Is Doing In This Line.

II Has $500 Members, Carries $4,000
600 In Risks, and Its President Gets
. Salary of $50 Year-comparison
of Costs With Old Limo Companies.
The Huron County CO., Farmers
Mutual Insurance company was or
ganized thirty-one years ago. 1t has
not always had smooth sailing. for its
losses have been large some years,
and yet only once in that time has its
annual assessment exceeded the cost
every year for protection in the old
line companies. The relative cost can
best be determined, says e. P. Snyder
in the National Stockman, by COM
parison covering a series Of years.
During the time the Huron County
CO., Mutual has been doing business
-thirty-one years-the average annual
assessment has been $2.96 per $1,000
The present rate Of old line companies
for farm property is $40 per $1,000 for
three years and 81 survey fee-i e..
a policy Of $1,000 would cost S12. just
81 per $1,000 per year. A policy Of
$4,000 would cost 500. or $500 2-3 per
$1,000 per year. A policy Of $1,000
would cost $50. or $3.50 SO per 81 900
per year. and so on. But. no matter how
great the policy. the cost must exceed
1888 1-3 per $1,000. because that is the
cost exclusive Of survey fee.
But the rules of these companies are
not as inflexible as the laws of the
Modes and Persians. One of my
friends had real estate in three diff
ferent places, and at every renewal
the agent made him out three sepa-
rate policies and charged him three sur
vey fees-$6. This grew monotonous
for the farmer after q term Of years.
and he suggested that the whole bust
ness be put in one policy. "Oh. yes"
the agent said. I'VE can do that" At
the next renewal the farmer remarked
that rather than pay any more survey
fees he would quit the company and go
into mutual. and the agent obligingly
cut out the survey fee entirely.
The Huron County Mutual charges
So membership fee and 10 cents per
500 for the amount insured. Insur-
ance is perpetual. AS long as a men,
Der keeps up his assessments he is
protected. Buildings are insured for
three-fourths of their value and per-
sonal property at its full value The
company insures against both fire and
lightning. but not against wind The
amounts paid for live stock are limited
to 5000 for horse, $75 for cattle. $50
for hogs and 81 for sheep. Losses must
be paid within sixty days of the time
of fling the proof of loss. They are
adjusted by committee of three men,
bers Of the company appointed by the
president.
The officers are president. vice presi-
dent. secretary, treasurer and three d.
rectors. The presidents salary Is $50
per year, secretary's $500, treasurer's
$50 and the vice presidents and three
directors So per day for the time &C.
tually employed. usually amounting to
SIG to $50 per year. The company now
has $4.400.O00 at risk and 1890 men,
bers. An agent is maintained In each
township. who is paid $1.5O for each
application written and so cents and
mileage for additionals.
There are 1875 successful farmers
mutual fire insurance companies now
in Ohio and about 240 in Illinois, 1t
is said.

Port Huron, Mich, Oct. 3.-Childish
curiosity to know the mechanism of

almost torn away and he nearly bled
to death before the arrival of doctor.
While wandering along the Grand

hear 1t go off, he placed 1t on track
and smashed It with an iron bar.

Farmers and Autos.

Mr.. J. George Frederick. editor Of
Printers Ink. says: "Out of 10000
autos In Iowa. about 500 are owned
by farmers. Kansas farmers spent
$3.200,OO0 for automobiles during 1909
and $2.750,O0O in 1908. In one Nebras-
ka town Of $50 population forty autos
were sold last year to farmers and re-
tired farmers in the town. A careful
estimate Of the number Of automobiles
owned by farmers in the United States
Is 10000"

STARTS CRUSADE
FOR CLEAN MOUTHS
Health Department Finds 30
Per Cent. Of New York School
Children Need a Dentist

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 2O.-The State
Health Department proposes TO take
an active part In the crusade for
clean mouths, especially among chill
dren, and TO enlist the assistance Of
members Of the dental profession on
behalf OF the health Of the community
Recently State Commissioner Of
Health Porter appointed Dr. II. l..
Wheeler. Of New York. and Or. W. A.
White, Of Phelps as dental consultants
and special lecturers on oral hygiene
Of the New York State Health De-
partment.
"The duties assigned to these doc
tors" says a statement by the State
Health Department, comprise the
giving OF public lectures on the sub
iect of oral hygiene and the prevention
OF tooth decay and consulting with
local health boards and school au-
thorities with regard to the inspection
Of the teeth Of school children aud the
opening of free dental clinics.
Or Gulick, president of the School
| Hygiene Association, has estimated
that two dccayed teeth IN the mouth Of
child are sufficient to retard the
child six months in its studies.
Decay of the teeth, technically
known as dental carries, is a germ dis
ease. and Commissioner Porter thinks
that, as a gem disease, II should re-
ceive the consideration and attention
Of state and local boards Of health
! Just as these have been given to scar
let fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis and
other germ diseases.
"School inspectors in New York
city report that 80 per cent. Of school
children are in need Of the profes.
sional services Of a dentist Dental
decay interferes with the proper mas
tication and digestion OF food and
leads to III nourishment. Moreover II
! produces in the mouth a condition
which is very favorable to the growth
OF other disease gems such as those
OF diphtheria and scarlet fever. Sc
that measures TO prevent the decay o.
the teeth and improve the condition o
the mouths Of school children will ais,
help TO control the development ant
spread of other common commune
able diseases.
The text Of the lecturers on ora
hygiene will be that a clean tooti
never decays and that a lazy tooth be
comes In time a rotten TOOTH"

XMAS FRAGRANCE
In THE STREET
Fourth Street Loses lis
Identity Under Pine
Forest
SCARCITY OF TREES
THE DEALERS REPORT

Fourth street, around Market, is
fast losing it's identity and becoming
a forest Of spruce, fir and pine. Each
hour sees another wagonload Of the
fragrant trees being set out along the
sidewalk, and the forest" is broken
only by stalls piled high and branch
es of holly and mistletoe or laden
with wreaths of crimson immortelles
in their rims OF brilliant tinfoil.
In front Of the big Christmas trees
are little ones, big enough to decorate
bhe dinner table, and pretty little
trees Of Jerusalem Cherries
There seems to be scarcity in the
tree market and both local and for
eign trees are hard to get at pres
ent. Dealers state that no more Of
the Maine state trees Will be ship
ped into the city, and but four car
loads of those trees has been receiv-
ed so far.
Very few farmers had trees on the
curbstone market this morning and
they say that It is too much trouble
to cut and haul the trees to the city
for the prices that they bring.
Local pine and hemlock trees sell for
twenty-five cents up to- seventy-hye.
The Maine spruces sell from fifty
cents to $3.50 and as high as $3.50 is
asked for the best specimens. Last
year a great number of foreign trees
were shipped here but the govern
ment has ordered that no cutting will
be allowed on state or government
lands. A great majority of the trees
were cut on government land and
this order has cut down shipments
throughout the country. One dealer
said that he had received fifty trees
yesterday and that out of this num-
Der he had but five left. The market
for trees promises to be brisk and
il would not be surprising If the
/ prices would advance.
There used to be a time when the
| father of the family hied himself tc
the country and there cut pine OF
spruce for the Christmas holiday bui
now dad digs down in his jeans and
he digs deep.
