MUCH HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED N THE
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT IN THIS COUNTY
Commercial Club Committee Fortunate in Accusing In
terest in Work-Conning of Automobile Helped Solve
the P~roblern-Active Campaign to be Carried on.

The season just closing has been a
notable n in Grand Forks county
particularly because Of the increased
interest and activity along good roads
lines. The good roads committee of
the Commercial club was especially
fortunate in arousing enthusiasm with
The meridian road as a talking point.
As i; result Of the efforts of the con
mittee considerable was accomplished
i'll the Improvement of a number of
the mann roads of the ounty running
north and south.
The need of good roads as far as the
farmer has been concerned has been
ever present. But an antequated state
law and lack NJ appreciation on the
part of city business men of the farm
ers, need resulted in comparatively
little being accomplished for many
Years. The coming of the automobile
solved the problem. 1t projected into
the situation the interest of the auto-
mobile owner in better country roads.
The automobile 500 found its way to
the farm II Illus a bond of interest

But the good roads idea has another
aspect thar is OF vastly greater import
ancc IT is a fact that the tendency
toward buying by mail from distant
houses as far as the farmer is con-
cerned. is directly traceahle to the fact
that he - growing away from the
habit Of driving into town once or
twicc a Week. particularly on Satur-
days. III other words. the success OF
the mail order house depends largely
upon It's ability TO create n feeling of
antagonism between the merchant and
the farmer.
There is no question that poor roads
have a tendency TO bring about his
undesirah bile situation. In fact it is
doubtful whether any other one cause
has played so important a part. If
the farmer is making money. he is APT

in such shape that he can realize on
that kind of an investment. But bad
roads arc the farmers curse.
No farmer however loyal he may
feel toward the merchant of his near
est city or town is not going TO travel
over o roads when he can let the
Il. +. ID. carrier do it for HIM. The
solution of the problem is the con-
s;ruction Of better roads and these can
only I've secured by the cooperation
of the business mar and farmer.
F, The good roads committee Of the
Commercial club has accomplished
much IN bettering conditions in this
county. and the work will he resumed
with renewed vigor next spring.
Until some system is worked GU by
which the roads of the county are TAX

i. is highly important that the various
agencies trying to better conditions
Cooperate to secure the best results.
The problem of Dad improvement is
essentially not a one ma nor even Il
class problem. 1t is a problem in
which every resident of the county is
indirectly interested. Naturally the
TWO classes most vitality interested are
the business men and farmers. the lat
ter because OF the increased cost of
hauling g poor roads and the in
convenience and barrier they offer to
frequent visits TO town. the former be-
cause poor roads mean a decrease in
business and a consequent falling off in
profits. 1t is therefore up to these
two classes 4 join forces and lead the
way in an effort to build UP better
roads.
The improvement; of Grand Forks
county roads affects directly every
town and city in the county. The far
ther good roads radiate from Grand
Forks, the more trade may be expect
ed from the country districts. Every
mile of good roads plays its part in
increasing this tributary buggy err
ritory. The cooperation of business
men with the commercial club in its
efforts has been hearty and helpful.
and IL is expected that increased in
next year.

Secretary Of the Interior Fisher. An
other fact brought out by the report
is that out OF nearly three thousand
patients in the institution only three
are being treated for insanity brought
on by the use Of alcohol: this is con-
trary to the generally accepted theory
which attributes to alcoholism a laree

Really a prominent feature OF the
smart afternoon frock this lear IS
the number OF the tiers on the SKIRT,
sometimes dividing ii into three por-
tons, sometimes arranged III the
form of numerous founces on the low
or part Of the skirt. These are nearly
always scallcpcd out and edged with
fringe, and the effect is charming. \

skirt neither full nor narrow has about
half a dozen OF these little founccs,

black silk fringe.
These flounces are not Gull. but are
put on fiat, so that they do not inter-
rupt the line of the skirt at all. Their
decorative effect is very great. al
though il is achieved with such quiet
means. Another pretty frock, in sap
phire-blue cashmere. has the skirt Ill
vided into three equal tiers, the bot
tom OF each being scallopcd and edged
with sapphire-bluc silk balI-fringc. The
lowest tier allows a border TO be seen
Of sapphirc.blue silk on which large.

are scattered. This border really con-
