The recent election of Louis j.
Buenger as Vice President of the
Northwestern Bedding Co. of St.
Paul may eventually result IN his re-
moval from our city. An opportunity
is offered Mr.. Buenger to take active
management of the St. Paul plant and
he is inclined 10 do so if he can make
satisfactory arrangements about dis
posing of his business block and fur
niture stock. Mr.. Buenger has re-
ceived several offers so far and he has
them under consideration. He has
been in the furniture and undertaking
business ever since 1898 and has
always kept abreast of the times,
erecting q fine story brick block in
1902 to accommodate his increasing
trade. He has been loyal to our city
and has always taken q keen interest
in its affairs. At present he Is Presi'
dent of the City Council. We hate to
lose any of our tried and true business
men, but if he can better his condition
and find more agreeable work, We can
do nothing less than wish him sue
cess in his new line of work. s

DO WE WANT BETTER ROADS?

Before our folks forget how miserably bad the roads have been the past few months, The Jour- nal wants to suggest that we get together and organize local good roads association and begin to get matters in shape for doing some work on the roads when crops are laid-by.
 If we wait to build good roads by taxation, under the present sys- tenn, the grandchildren of the boys and girls that are now in school in Newark will have moss on their backs before the task Is accom- plished.
 Road building is an expensive proposition and it is impossible to raise sufficient revenue upon pre- sent property values in this county to construct very much permanent road.
 We must either change our pre- sent road system so as to issue bonds and let out our road build ing by contract, or else roll up our slevees and go to work and build the roads by some cooperative plan by giving of our time, money and labor freely and gratuitously
 After a bit, we could organize al local good roads association and get thoroughly organized, get our plans mapped out and get some interest and enthusiasm worked into the matter, and then when crops are finished we could take up the work in a systematic man. ner and make a reasonably good road of every road leading into Newark from any direction.
 The idea IS to organize the en- tire community, then divide 1t in- to sub-organizations in such a manner that each man will work the road he Is most interested in, and by this means some good and effective work can be done.
 We can take Newark as the cen tral or starting point and work out in any direction just as far as the people are interested. If it takes one day, two days, three days, or more, on any one road.w believe the people along that road will readily and cheerfully give their time and labor if the matter is taken up in the right manner and

In 1900 the population of the United States was 7, 5,308, ,483,and the cost of government was SAIL 370 annually, $1.40 for each in- habitant. The present population is a little more than ninety-one millions, and the cost of gover- ment is more than a billion dollars a year, or more than $11 per cap- ita. We wonder if there is any body who feels like he is being humbugged?

LIKES INCUBATOR

Dear Editor.-I thought l would write a few words in regard to my experience with the incubator. put 103 eggs in my incubator and matched 79 chickens. Of course that Is nothing extra, but this was my first experience with an ineu- bator. Incubators have a bad name, as most everybody knows, especially in this community, but as for myself, like incubators fine. Of course 1t takes a great deal of time to see after one, but success depends upon it. 1 set my incubator the first of March; the weather was very cold and several times at night the temperature would run very low. 1 have 1t setting again and on the 10th night 1 tested the eggs and found only two infertile eggs.
