NATION WIDE MOVE
FOR GOOD ROADS.

That the nationwide movement for
the Improvement Of the public roads
involves a large undertaking is indi-
Gated by information just made pub
lie by the u. S. department. of agri-
culture. Secretary Wilson shows that
100000 miles of road must be improved
before the public road system ear be
considered really efficient.
1t is only within recent years that
the movement for better roads has
gained force. The consequences of
delay are shown in the fact that there
are now but 190,476 miles of improved
roads in this country. These improved
roads constitute $3.50 per cent OF the
total mileage Of all public roads, i'm
proved and unimproved. 1t is figured
that the percentage will have to be
increased to 20 before traffic can be
moved throughout the country with
the minimum of wear and tear on
horses, wagons and automobiles.
The French system of roads, long
considered the best in the world was
bonded by Napoleon III for 100000,
and something in the ~neighborhood of
1912, 7775, 900 has already been spent on
that system. In this country, owing to
the great distances, it is probable hat
close to ST. 600, 600, 900 will have to be
spent before a proper road system is
developed.
While the amount necessary to per-
feet a. great road system seems fabu-
lousy large, it does not seem so large
when it is divided among the various
states and spread over a period of
five, ten or fifteen years. When it is
considered that New York state has
bonded itself for $50, 000,O 900 and that
S. 100000 a year is now being expend-
ed by the state, 1t will be seer that a
nationwide system might soon be per-
fected were all states to progress as
rapidly.
New York heads the list of states
which have made the greatest progress
in o building between 1904 and
1903. That state has built 6,911 miles
of new road in that period. Georgia
is second, and has built 4,344 miles of
road in the five years. The gain in
Georgia is largely attributed to the use
of $500 prisoners IN the public roads
of the state. South Carolina, Alabama
and Florida have also made great
gains by building sand-clay roads, and
this is a very cheap and satisfactory
type of road building.

EASTER.

OF all the days of the year Easter is
the most sacred to believers in
christianity. It's observance is world
wide and there will scarcely be a ham
let SO small or a home so benighted in
which the day will not be given some
special prominence.
Men who do not ordinarily go to
church will be found tomorrow inside
OF a sacred edifce. The day will cele-
brate the resurrection of Christ and
the proper observance means much to
those who are devout.
Attend divine services somewhere
tomorrow. If you are not associated
with any religious organization go to
the n in which your friends worship.
1t doesn't matter particularly under
the auspices of what religious denomi-
nation the services are conducted.
The churches differ materially on
some things-but they are all united
on the Importance and sacredness of
the Easter observance.

Daddy's Bedtime
Why the Little
Robins Breast
Is Red

YACK and Evelyn eagerly awaited their story. Daddy had promised one
about the robin redbreast Robins were beginning toby about the house
after their winter spent far away. 1t would soon be time for Mr. Robin
~ to go acquiring and build his nest so the children were watchlng n1m
with great interest A pair Of jolly robins had built a nest last year o the
branch Of the tree just outside their window, and the children had enjoyed
themselves greatly in watching Mr. and Mrs. Robin bring up their little family
In the nest
'IaHle Robin Redbreast likes to make his home near ours hecausa q a
rule people arr kinder to him than to most birds. IL 8 a mean boy indeed
who win throw a stone at the CHEEKY little robin" said daddy.
"There is another reason why robins are SO wen treated There was an
old idea that a robin got that splash Of red N his breast owing to bis kind
ness to Christ when he hung dying on the cross.
"When in his great agony Of thirst Jesus cried aloud the little RoohA who
was lowering near, heard the cry and had pity upon him
Flying to a neighborng fountain, the bird carried water IN his bl to

that rolled down Chnsts face from the wounds where the crown OF thorns
pierced his forehead sphshed over the kind robins breast
"The dying Saviour saw the stain and blessed the little bird that had be-
fIended him when every earthly friend bad forsaken him he blessed all
robins forever and said:
/" Thou and thy kind shall ever wear this crimson badge in token Of the
mercy that thou hast shown to me and as a pledge that my blessing shah fol-
low those that show mercy unto thee
"And since then, says the story, al. robins breasts have been red and a
blessing has been with all who have baedended a robin TO hurt a robin was
thought to bring bad luck to one, and If robins swamed about a house and

and stoned. For this reason robins arr sl unafraid OF human felix's and ara

SWAT THE FLY.

The first few consecutive days of
warm spring weather have arrived.
With theme have appeared the house
flies that have survived the winter.
Then is the time to begin systematic
warfare on them.
Flies breed in decaying refuse. The
long, snowbound winter has preserved
the castoff organic matter that has
been left in back yards, alleys and
other little used places during a
period of five months. With the going
Of the snow and ice it was left ex-
posed to the sun for decomposition.
This in itself is a menace to health.
But more dangerous still, it produces
the advance guard of the myriad army
of fies-that spread disease during
the warm months.
The back yards, alleys AMI vacant
lots should be cleaned up promptly.
The effort put forth to do this will be
very small compared with the discom-
fort and sickness it will avert. And
don't forget to swat the fly from the
start. One fly killed in early spring
is equivalent to 1,OOO,O 900 killed in Au-
gust.

G. N. EXTENSION.

Almost as important to this city as
the Fargo-Minot cutoff itself, is the
new Great Northern branch from this
cut-off. This will start at New
Rockford and run almost due west for
more than 500 miles, About half of it
will be in this state. There is not a
city Of any size along this entire new
line and Fargo will be the first place
of Importance to be reached. The
line means a great deal of business
through this point and adds to Fargo's
wonderful shipping facilities in a most
gratifying manner, The new line will
practically split the distance between
the present transcontinentaI lines of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cihc.
The new branch is a splendid boost
for Fargo and one that will be sincere
ly appreciated by the people of this
city.

Freedom's Call.


Erasmus Binks spent many years be-
hind the prison bars.
He grew most mighty tired Of the
brand of prison fare
And wished to get back home where
he could breathe the open air.
Full many thoughts of by-gone days
went coursing through his mind.
And he thought of the patient wife
whom he had left behind.
He yearned for freedom constantly al
through the night and day,
Until he got his courage up and Their
he stole away.
"Ah, ha,! I'm free at last" he cried as
he approached his home.
Right here I'll stick in quietude and
never will roam"
You see, he had been away so long he
hadn't heard the news.
His wife had Joined the suffragettes
and had absorbed their views.
The freedom he had hankered for
turned out to be but dross,
The patient wife that once he'd known
was an exacting boss.
In dead of night he tramped away, his
heart bowed down with pain.
He hiked back to the same old jail and
broke right in again.

When nothing goes exactly right
And you are harassed day and night
By ceaseless worry and duh care
And there's no comfort anywhere;
When friends you've always loved de-

And hand you little sights that hurt;
When disappointment reigns supreme
And rudely skaters every dream;
When you have been misunderstood
And old-time friends lambaste you

And nothing seems to be worth while
Or fit to cause the faintest smile,
