shOuld he noted that this puDNc roauS onice-a
branch of the United States department of agricu-
ture-is doing a most important work for the cause
of road Improvement throughout the length ana
breadth of the land For thing laboratories are
maintained at Washington specially equipped 10
ascertain which of these best adapted to
use in any specified locality under any given con-
ditions. Even more important is the work OF the
government bureau in building stretches of model
road"
Under this plan of building model roads to serve
as object lessons in the possibilities and dement's
of highway improvements Uncle Sam sends his
force of engineers and experts into any community
which seems to need to be aroused regarding good
roads and with their own helpers, or by means OF
force of worhmen recruited in the neighborhood
they construct mile or two miles of just the sort
of road that is ideal for that particular district
How beneficial these object lessons are is proven
by the fact that thousands Of miles of good roads
have been built in various parts Of the country this
past few years with these governmental sample
roads as patterns The showing made by rural
roads before and after" treatment by the govern
road doctors has prompted state legislatures,
county commissioners, local boards of trade farm
ers' oranges and other bodies to appropriate money
for a more extensive good roads campaign in To-
calities that have thus had taste of the benefits,
and in some states notably Delaware, wealthy
men have paid out of their pockets for long
stretches of improved public roads for the use OF
the whole community.

The average oldtime farmer prone to look
upon bad roads as necessary evil He realized
in sense what detriment they to his in
terests but he put up with the situation because
he did not see any way out of the dilemma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give. Then along came the United States gov
ernment, 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 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 farmer required the serv-
ices OF four horses and an entire days time to
get load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him just 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 1t 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
nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
in shorter interval than was formerly re-
qured 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 restricted to one railroad for
shipping facilities II the road nearest his farm
will not give him the he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside to rival line.
And the very fact that the introduction of good
roads Is destroying such monopolies has served
to render the railroads more oblging to their
farmer clients.
The new countrywide Highway Improvement
association which is to hold it's first annual con.
gress in the future will not seek to drive out
or supplant the various good-roads associations

as has been said, doing an excellent
work within a more or less local
sphere. However, the new national

CHICO, CAL, June 2S.-More evil
dence concerning the brutality that
caused the death yesterday Of 13-year'
old Helen Rumball came to the police
today from the lips of q, younger SIS
ter Of the dead girl. The child told
the officers that while Helen was in
the sitting attic where her nfeless
body was found. her cries of pain
were heard by her sister, who pleaded
with her stepmother, Mrs. Emma
Rnmball. to be allowed. to 60 and COM
fort the sufferer: ; sz '>: r.,
These pleas, absorbing to the child,
were rebuffed and the woman made
her go to bed. In the late hours of
the night Mrs. Rumball Weakened the
girl and her brother and told then
that Helen was dead.
Today Sheriff Weber discovered
where the rope with which it is be-
lieved Helen was choked to death was
fastened to the studding in the attic.
Marks on the throat of the body indi-
cate that the rope was fastened about
the neck. Both Mr.. Rumball and her
brother, Arthur Lewis, deny that they
tied the rope about the girls neck.
Wanted Obedience.
Mrs. Rumball made a statement to-
day in which she SAID her treatment
of Helen was prompted by desire
to force her to obedience.
The ill-treatment of Helen Rumball
has been known to the residents of
Gridley, where the family lives, for
some time. On one occasion she came
to school with a black eye and said
her uncle, Lewis, had struck her.
Tainted the Child.
Mrs. Rumball said that while Helen
was bound in the attic Lewis tainted
her to such an extent that she be-
came frenzied and struggled violently
to get loose.
It is believed that the defense will
be that the child broke her own neck
while endeavoring to escape. The
preliminary examination of Mrs. Rum
ball will be held in Oroville Friday.
