GOOD ROADS-W HAT THEY
PROMISE.
(By Paul Crissey.D

10y L dul tIISbcH.D
One hundred millions of dollars for
good roads, One hundred million
times as much money as the govern
ment ever spent to make the country
roads a little easier for traffic, That
is what n prominent United States
senator has recently advocated. Think
of it! Just to fill up the ruts and the
holes to make pulling a trine easier
for a few tired farmers horses.
Why? Because the people of the
United States at last come to see that
there is but little else in this country
SO fundamentally necessary to the
individual welfare Of each citizen as
are good roads. That Is the answer.
1t appears, on the face Of it, a per-
fectly simple answer and one that at
first thought does not provoke much
interest and arouses no establishment.
And yet the gospel of good roads has
come to can salvation for the dy.
ing towns and the sick communities
as well as for that greater evil-the
high cost OF living.
Never before in the history Of this
country has there been such an
awakening as that which has re.
suited recently from the scientific
study OF the economic conditions now
in existance. The citizens physicians
who made the diagnosis have stated
that bad roads are at the bottom OF
the existing high prices OF necessities
Why? There are several answers
One OF them Is best illustrated by the
story OF the woman in a small town
who recently went into a grocery store
and asked the price OF eggs. The
storekeeper quoted the price.
Why" she exclaimed. THAT is
more than they ought to be at this
time Of the year, cents more than
I ever paid before"
Il know that, replied the merchant
but It can't be helped. The roads
have been so bad lately that the farm
ers won't bring in their products"
That is the whole story in a nut
shell. There are many others like
it. some more important than others
That same woman probably placed
her order with a mail order grocery
house. leaving the express company te
deliver the goods irrespective OF the
condition OF the roads. The merch
ant In the story lost a customer, the
farmer lost a chance to market his
products, and the woman finally
found that she had paid a big price
for her goods after all-and all of this
because the roads were bad.

inasmuch as the pharmacy graduates
OF Brookings have shown great pro-
1ciency at Northwestern university.
hereafter all graduates from the

HANDWERk CASE COMPLETED.

The Handwerk case, which has been
on trial at the court house at different
times during the last two months, was
completed Saturday. The case was
the longest in the history of the coun
ty and probably involved more money
than any other case ever tried here.
twenty-five days of actual time was
consumed with the case and over fifty
thousand dollars worth of property
was the issue. The case was tried be-
fore Referee Law of Clear Lake, who
will report his findings to Judge Sew
ard and it may be several months be-
fore a decision is reached. 1t seems
that years ago the three brothers were
in the hardware business in a small
town in Illinois and they invested
their surplus money in Brookings
county land, purchasing about a thou.
sand acres, at a time when land was
very cheap, and one of the brothers
came out here to look after the prop
erty. The two brothers in Illinois
did not do well with their end of the
business, and they brought suit against
the Brookings county brother to GUST
him from possession of the land, which
had risen to a value of nearly fifty
thousand dollars, and which thew
claimed he had no rightfu, share in.
The case is a complicated one and
it is hard to predict how it will end.

TRUE NOTE IN DECORATION
Fitness Of Useful and Ornamental Ar
tlcles in Room Must Be First
Consideration.

The true method of making a room
beautiful is to make all the necessary
and useful things in 1t beautiful; so
much is this true that 1t becomes al
most impossible to design really
beautiful room that is to have no use
full work done In 1t or natural life
lived In It. An architect called upon
to design room In which nothing
more earnest Is to be done than to
gossip over afternoon teas has a sad
job.
For room must always derive It's
dignity or meanness from, and reflect
somewhat. the character and kind of
occupation which is carried on In It.
For instance, the studio of an artist
the study OF man of letters, the
workshop OF carpenter, or the
kitchen Of farmhouse, each in its DO.
sition and degree. derives a dignity
and interest from the work done in
1t. And the things in the room bear
some relation to that work, and will
be the furniture and surroundings nat.
ural to 1t; as the bench and tools in
the carpenters shop; the easels and
canvases in the studio; the books and
papers In the study; and the bright
pans and crockery in the kitchen. All
these lend a sense of active, useful,
human life to the room. which re.
deems 1t from vulgarity. though It be
the simplest possible; and no amount
of decoration or ornamentation can
give dignity or LONELINESS to a room
which is used as show room, or in
which no regular useful life is lived.
For In the work room all things have
place by reason of their usefulness,
which gives sense OF fitness and re-.
pose entirely wanting in room where
place has obviously had to be found
for everything, as In a drawing room.

MUST FIT PROPERLY
MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN MAT
TER OF GLOVES.
Worn Too Tight, They VIII Spoil tho
Look Of Even the Most Dainty
Hand-Flrst Putting on
Important.

Nothing makes hand more unnat-
tractive than glove that is too tight.
Yet how often one sees women with
their hands almost bursting from their
gloves, so tightly are they squeezed
into them.
A too tight glove will make even a
slender graceful hand look common
place and pudgy and hand inclined to
flesh almost repulsive. So In choosing
gloves one should be very careful to
get them large enough, and to have
the patience to have them properly
fitted IN the first place by good glove
filter.
II they are not fitted properly at
first the tips OF the fingers never work
down and the hand Is made ridiculous
and dowdy by the pointed tips. If the
fitting is properly done the gloves will
not twist and wrinkle, and will actual
ly wear longer than II hurried care
lessly over the fingers for the first
time.
II one has to put on gloves without
the assistance Of a fitter the hands
should be warm and the gloves we'll
powdered, then the fingers should be
insinuated into their receptacles, and
finally the thumb and the hand should
be fitted, but not until the fingers have
been carefully worked in. To remove
the glove pull it over the hand and
do not drag 1t by the finger tips, for
this spoils the shape completely. After
removing the gloves and turning them
right side again they should have the
stretchers used to restore the shape
and should be sprihkled again with
powdered French chalk.
Fresh gloves are a necessary ad-
junct to the toilet of the woman seek
ing daintiness, but when they are
cleaned they should be cleaned sew
eral days before they are to be worn.
so that the fumes of gasoline, and no
odor is more Objectionable to the SEN
sitive nostril, may entirely disappear
otherwise the whole effect of ones
personality may be marred by the dis
agreeable fumes of gasoline.
