In this way the injurious effects of
weeds are as serious as the dbatTdC-
ton of the plant food. This is much
more pronounced in our more arid
regions, where during the long dry
summers every pound of water counts.

forward to a further reduction Of the

DO IT YOURSELF.


An important question that is now
prom, inently before the people-some
deem it the most important question
is that of the construction Of real
roads. The state Of Iowa. for instance.
wastes enough money in temporary
improvements that have to be renewed
every season. yes, several times in one
season. to pave more than one hum
dred miles of road. In fifteen or TWEEN
ty years we could improve the main
roads, simply by stopping the waste OF
money that is used for these tempo
rary improvements.
In the state OF California. and IN q
number OF other states, the people d
the state have taken up this fmpor-
tsnt problem, and in California, foi

Some complaint is heard Of the mo-

the woman suffrage question. II has
become not a question of whether
women should be permitted to vote.
but whether they desire TO vote Mr.
Roosevelt Is an out and out suffra gist.
jority Of women desire the ballot they
will be given it. A poll of political

would bring thoughtful and often cauti-

Of Roosevelt and the evasiveness of
