More About Good Roads

The subject of good roads is a
question every citizen ought to be
interested in. There is not a bus
mess man or farmer in Seward
county but would be more or less
benefited by good public roads.
Last fall a good many people we're
in favor of bonding the county to
help build a railroad. Some peo-
pie say we can never have good
roads here for there is nothing to
make them of. | think we can
if people were willing to take the
trouble and would utilize the ma
terial they have. | notice that
Liberal has all of the refuse from
the stables, etc., hauled outside
and burned, when with little
more expense it could be hauled
onto the roads. ! lived in Iowa
when the country was new and
they had no roads, and the people
said the same thing. Never would
have good roads! After they be-
gan to see what was for their in
terest and went after il right,
they soon had roads. They divi-
ded the districts, appointed an
overseer, levied a tax and every
man did his share. For the last
few years the work has been done
by contract, dragging and grading,
and every farmer takes pride in
keeping the roads adjoining their
farms in good condition by drag
ging the roads every time after
a rain.
Now why not Seward county
fall into line and do all she can to
insure good roads. l notice that
the Good Roads convention re-
Gently held in Wichita, backed up

Cost of Bad Roads.

"A Country Missourian," writ
ing to the Kansas City Star, calls
attention to the difference in the
cost Of transportation by rail and
by the public highway. A freight
shipment of l25 miles to SedaIia
on the railroad cost less than the
six mile haul to the farm from
Sedalia. 1t cost more to haul a
wagon load of wheat from t h e
farm to the railroad than it does
to haul it to the markets after it
reaches the railroad. And it costs
just twice as much to haul it to
the market over bad roads as it
costs to haul it oyer good roads.
Farmers of the middle west should
begin a movement for the regula-
ton of freight charges over the
country highways. Stock Yards

Last fall man owning a n d

mans to drill 100 acres of wheat
for him, the owner to furnish the
seed. The men went to work pre-
pared the ground nicely, run the
drills in good workman like
manner, finished the job and re-
ceiyed $50 for their work. They
went to California the next day.
The owner of the land went out to
the field a few days ago to see how
his crop was getting along. He
was surprised to find the wheat
had not come up, neither was it
sprouted, and worse still he could
not find any seed in the ground.
He called in the neighbors and
they could not find any S 9 e d
either. While working patiently
with the drill and apparently do
ing a beautiful job of drilling,

The camps are veritable paradises for
the poor mothers and children, who have
never before been accustomed to such
rest and luxury ard cleanliness, and there
are many pathetic scenes when the time
for leaving to return to the tenement
houses and the sordid toll of life occurs.

Home, while the children engaged in games
and athletic contests. Many of the young
