of paying an excess Of twenty cents
cost per ton per mile over the so call
ed roads in America.
The camp followers and organized
parasites, preying on the good roads
movement, have run the cost of per-
manent roads up so high as to fright
en- people attempting to build perma.
nent highways. The public has over
looked the fact that highways are the
property Of the people; that to build
good highways requires centralized
power and a proper Standardization
The people most to benefit by good
roads most oppose them.
The change necessitated in the char
acter of the highways through the use
Of the modern self propelled vehicle
makes 1t possible for the United States
to equip itself with modern highways
at a cost no greater than the cost
abroad.
l know Of only four ways of receiv-
ing money TO form.a fund from which
roads can be built
The first is by gift OF money or serv-
ices.
The second way In which a commu-
nifty can receive money for road build
ing is by direct taxation, but unless
the sums so spent are economically
used. road building must of necessity
be slow.
The third way is by the issuance Of
bonds, placing the burden for perma
nent roads. in part at least. on future
generations.
The fourth way is by utilizing an as
set which unfortunately all the states
have. and that is by building roads
with convict labor. | am heartily in
favor OF this method. and have advo-
Gated II for many years. Labor so en-
ployed interferes in no way with free
labor and is Of great advantage from
a humanitarian standpoint in that
while roads are being built by convicts.
the character of men Is being reformed
and their bodies are being strengthened
by proper manual labor The facts
are. in Washington. that better re
suits can be obtained by the utilization
Of convict labor than by hiring men TO
perform the work. There is no reason
why a man. whether rich or poor.
should be supported In idleness. and
the burden Of any man supported In
ldleness must be borne by the work
ers. The work should not be limited
to men convicted Of crime. but proper
detention camps should be established.
so that those men prone 10 idleness
and vagrancy could be sent direct

Needlework Mote.

Seekers after novelty viii find that
the prevailing fancy is for fine lawn
and lace in such table accessories as
the table center or doiley. The cloth OF
damask whiteness is not broken by a
spot Of color except that supplied by
floral decoration. The doiley may be
simple or extremely decorative. but IL
must be Of virgin whiteneSs.
The table center of billowy silk or
chiffon is not nearly such a fashion
able form Of decoration as the center
OF lace and lawn. which lies like a dis
tinguishing spot Of embroidery to re-
lieve the plain napery of the table. be-

PROVE THIS PROPOSITION.
II You Car Do It You Are Entitled &c
q Prize of $4,000.

Five thousand pounds await the stu
dent who will prove a certain PROPOSE
ton proposed 10y the French mathema
tician, Fermat. about $50 years ago.
This prize was offered about five years
since and is TO remain open to all com.
yrs for a century
Professor G. A. Miller, who tells of il
in a recent address on Modern Mathe-
NAUTICAL Research" fears that such
large inducement may set all sorts of
mediocre mathematicians to wasting
their time.
The proposition to be proved is that
the sum of no two powers except
squares Is itself power of the same
degree Sums of squares are often
squares-for instance. the square of 3
is 8 and that of 4 is l6. Add sixteen
and Q and you have %, which IS the
found to be true for cubes or fourth
powers or any powers above 2, and
Fermat asserted that no such cases
would or could ever be found.
He proved 1t, too-at least he said he
had done so-but his proof is lost, and
no one has ever recovered 1t or discov-
cred another, although partial proofs
have been found for definite powers
for instance, for those that are null
tiples of 3. 4, and Of certain prime
numbers. Some of the worlds greatest
mathematicians have been working on

HOW TO GET MONEY FOR ROADS

tation Loss Is Enormous Yearly.

Few people know what modern
highway is. Our government has no
conception of its economic value. To
talk good roads is to bore most people.
The relation between roads. water
ways and railways is not understood,
says Samuel Hill in Good Roads.
Article 8 of the constitution of the
United States, which provides for the
establishment of postoffices and post
roads, is, so far as 1t relates to roads.
a dead letter. For nearly 100 years
no public movement has ever been
undertaken for the establishment of
highways Local communities here
and there have struggled for better
ment of highways and against exist
ing political methods which render
their construction impossible.
In dollars and cents the loss by bad
primary transportation over the so
called highways of America to the
producers and the consumers every
year from marketing their products
over these roads runs into figures which
few minds can comprehend.

the truth TO say that the American

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Practical Remedy For Monotony and
Loneliness Of Country Life.

Loneiiness OF Country Lite.
We have all heard that insanity is
more prevalent among farmers wives
than among women of other communi-
ties. This is explained on the ground
of the monotony of the life. Having
no interests. the woman In the count
try is likely to grow morbid and even
tually to lose her grip on the sane
things of life, says Dolly Madison.
One of the most practica! remedies
for the monotony and loneliness of
farm life may be found in the forming
Of a club. This, in the beginning, may
not be an ambitious affair. A half
dozen women may get together and
decide to do some one thing for their
community which shall improve it, and
which will give them an interest in
the working out of such Improvement
There is nothing which makes women
feel that life is worth while like
sense of being in touch with big move
ments. In the city we hear much of
"neighborhood houses" or friendly"
organizations and other social centers
which are Intended to uplift and TO
bring about a better understanding
between the fortunate and the unfortu
nate. There is great need for neigh
borhood houses in the country, but II
is on different lines from those pur-
sued by the social settlement. In the
country poverty is rarely the reason
L. . te. lrnlx fn a
work which keeps a woman tied to a
treadmill
The farmers wife may make her
club a place in which shall be discuss
ed her own problems, those OF the
school life of her children, besides GER
tain educational improvements. The
question of overwork for farm women
may be solved by the cooperation of
the club in hiring specialized help.
There will be more enthusiasm over
vegetable gardens when there Is some
body with whom to compare notes.
Books and magazines may be exchang-
ed. and the problem of high prices
may be met by ordering In wholesale
quantities and sharing with other
members.
Each neighborhood must, Of course,
work out its club plans along the most
practical lines possible. but | know
of no better example OF what a club
If this class may become than the his
tory of one in the far west where the
life of the community revolves around
a certain house which was bought by
the farmers wives Of that section. II
Is a country club, not in the suburban
smart set sense. but in being the prac-
teal center for the boys and girls and
the men and women from adjoining
farms. Here the young people play
tennis. here the men meet to discuss
rural problems. and here the women
give afternoon teas and bring together
the lonely souls, who without this lit
tie house set at the crossroads might
be left 10 languish.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months old he broke out or his head with little bumps. They would dry up and leave scale. Then it would break out again and it spread all over bis head. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over Then his face broke out all over in red bumps and It kept spreading until 1t was on his hands and arms. l bought several boxes of ointment. gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. He had 1t about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. sent and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuucura Ointment In three days after using them he began to im- prove. He began to take long maps and to stop scratching his head After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap he was sound and well, and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came cut in little curls all over his head. I don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuti- cura.
 'I have bought Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have never known them to fail to cure what put them on. Cuticura Soap is the best that have ever used for toilet purposes" (Signed) Mrs F. E. liar mon, R. F. D. 2. Atoka, Tenn, Sept. 10, 1910.

Heuer oprIngs.-Su1t was filed here against NJ. E. Vinson as county judge and J. R. Baker and J. W. Hardy, as commissioners of public buildings, by T. J. Andrews and others, seeking to have the defendants enjoined in chancery court from awarding a con- tract or taking further steps toward building the new courthouse provided for by the levying court last October.
 The complaint sets up that the building now owned by the county and used as a courthouse is large. ample and commodous enough for the present and for many years to come It also alleges that the ap, propriation made for the building is void because it is excessive and for a longer period Of time than one year.

Washington, D. C.-Representative Jacoway has been successful in his efforts to have a survey ordered for the Petit Jean river In Arkansas.
 The rivers and haroors bill. which will be reported to the house in a few days, will inclade a provision for a survey of Petit Jean river
 Nr. Jacoway said that if the report of the board of army engineers, which will have charge of the survey, is favorable, 1t will mean much to the citizens Of Danville, Bellyille and Havana
 One direct result if favorable re- port is made" said MT. Jacoway, will be that these towns will enjoy competitive freight rate, something they have been trying to get for a long time"
 If the engineers's report is favor, able, MT. Jacoway will get an appro. priation for the rivers improvement. It is impossible to get this appropria- tion until the engineers have made their report on the survey.

Most people have heard Of the Evil Eye" and now we are informed by Charles L.

Ills designates 1t the dominant eye," and according to whether 1t Is the left or the right children will grow up left handed or right-handed. It Is sheer cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis- cry. to force child to become ann bidextrous.
