The average old-time farmer was prone to look
upon bad roads as a necessary evil. He realized
in a sense what a detriment they were to his in
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did not see any way out of the
least not without more work than he could afford
to give. Then along came the United States gov
eminent, when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced, and declared that these rural mail
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not In fair condition. This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation, for
every rural home prizes the boon of a daily mail
delivery. And, at about the same time the farm
ers, who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question. found, as they
looked closer, that bad roads meant a hole In the
pocketbook of every tiller of the soil. 1t began
to be realized that If a farmer required the serv-
ices OF four horses and an entire days time to
get a load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him was just as serious as though he had
to accept a very low price for the yield of his
acres. Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer In behalf of better roads.
One of the best things accomplished for the
farmer by good roads is that it has broadened
his markets. With rocky or muddy highways en-.
forcing slow progress the average farmer was In
the old days restricted to one market town-the
one nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
can in a shorter interval than was formerly re-
quired reach any one of several communities To-
Gated in different directions. This enables him
to attain the market where he can get the best
prices. Similarly with good roads the farmer is
not likely to be so restricted to one railroad for
shipping facilities. If the road nearest his farm
will not give him the cars he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside TO a rival line.
And the very fact that the introduction of good
roads Is destroying such monopolies has served
to render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients.
The new countrywide Highway Improvement
association which is to hold its first annual con.
gress in the near future will not seek to drive out
or ~supplant the various good-roads associations

Something Really Happened at Recep-
tion, and Old Attendant 10
Encouraged.

The guests at Mrs. Arthur Mics
tea yesterday afternoon detected an
odor of something burning. They
looked at each other knowingly and
said: Poor Mrs. Mize, something Is
burning up in the kitchen" But the
odor grew stronger. and at last n
woman said: 1T smells as though
feathers are burning" Then sudden
ly one woman screamed: Mrs. Chal-
liss, look at your haiti" Sure enough,
Mrs. Jim Challiss had been standing
near a lighted candle, and the aigrette
on her hat was on fire.
The guests had a great time putting
out the fire. The aigrette was what
the insurance men call a total loss.
An Atchison woman who has gone to
thousands of receptions Ia the burn
ing OF the aigrette yesterday is the
first time she aver knew anything to
really happen at a reception. She
has given up going because nothing
aver happened, but now will start in

CHlLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on it's head when It
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head of hair. I think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City. Utah, Sept. 10. 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cutt-
cura," Dept. IL L, Boston.
