Commissioner of Public Roads
r. G. Terrell, of Kentucky, has
announced that he will use every
effort to bring about a big atten-
dance Of farmers at the two days
good road meeting to be held at
Mammoth Cave KY, October 4
and 5. Kentucky, Indiana and
Tennessee will be represented
and, from present indications,
hundreds will be on hand. Not
only will good roeis. and how
to build them, be discussed but a
round of entertainment will be
provided which will be we'll worth
enjoying, A. barbecue Of the
real old-fashioned kind will be
included.
Inc value OF good roads as
a commercial asset to the farmer
is to-day recognized in all Sec
tions. Indiana has proved this
in many instances, as has Ken
lucky and Tennessee. What is
wanted is more good roads, as
thesemean more valuable farms
and better access for the farmer
to the markets. Instructive
and practical talks from rep
resentatives of the director of
public roads, Washington; the
agricultural departments of the
three states interested, and vari.
GUS commercial bodies will be
made. 1t will be shown that the
good roads proposition is of vital
interest to the farmer, first, and
and to others, later. What bene-
fits the farmer is certain to bene.
fit the citizens. United States
Senators, representatives in con-
gress, governors, and state and
county officers, by the dozen, have
sent in strong letters approving
the character of the meeting.
DR.. Ben Bruner, of Louisville,
former Mayor Charles Bookwal,

all work and no play, There viii
be diversions of a pleasant char
acter, When the meeting adj
journs it is believed a long step
will have been taken toward ce-
menting the bonds of friendship
between the states represented
and a long step taken toward the
final achievement of the best
public highways in the United
States to connect and cross Indi,
ana, Kentucky and Tennessee.

A Queen Among Women.
Miss Anne Cattle, seated in Mrs.
Jimmie Wellington's seat, had not
heard Mr. Jimmie Wellington's sketch
OF his wife. But she needed hardly
more than a glance to satisfy herself
that she and Mrs. Jimmie were as
hopelessly antipathetic as only two po-
lite women can be.

thing Of snob in Chicago society, but
perhaps the missionary was tritie
