PLANNING COUNTY ROADS.
Commissioners Have Been inspect
ing Proposed County Highways.

The county commissioners and the
county clerk have been having a
right busy time this week for they
have been ON tour Of inspection
OF the roads in the county which, II
they are first fixed up in the prop
er manner by the township boards,
may be designated as county roads
by the commissioners and would Rf-
forwards be kept up In good condi
ton at the expense Of the county
from the good roads fund. Il
The proposed county roads will be
run so as to connect the various,
trade centers Of the county, and If
the itenary as is now planned DIS
carried out there can certainly be
no complaint from any source that
the commissioners are trying to play
favorite with amy section of the
county, but are trying to fix things
so that the benefit to be derived
from the county roads will be shar-
led equally by all parts Of the coun-
Ity.
The commissioners on Monday in
spected the road from Great Bend
to Pawuee Rock. On Tuesday they
inspected the road from here to FL
hnwood and on east from that city
to the county line. Then from FL
linwood to ClafIin, and from that city
east to the county line again. Then
from Clafhn to Hoisiugton, through
Redwing, and from Hoisington to
CHEAT Bend.
They are now viewing the roads
from Hoisington to Olmdtz and from
thence north to Galatia and south to
Albert. just how the route will be
planned out Of Albert to connect the
lefty with both Pawnee Rock and Heiz
Ter, and the latter place with Great
Bend, has not as yet been determin-
led, but an effort will be made to lay
out the roads 50 that they will be
of benefit to the most people and at
1.-THE same time keep the mileage to
as small a limit as possible.
Notes are being taken on the
"Trip regarding the general condition
of the roads at the present time, AL
SO as to where culverts should be
Iput in, and such other details, and
in the near future a meeting Of the
township boards through which the
proposed roads will be nun, will be
called with the board of county CON-
missioners and at such time the
question will be thoroughly discuss
ed. and the township boards will be
notified as to Just what condition the
roads must be In before they will
be accepted by the county, and some
definite action will be taken in the
matter.
If all the road as Is now in pros
pecdve, should be adopted as coun-
ty highways. it would mean that 100
mikes or whereabouts, will be fixed
up In fine shape and turned over to
the county, which would certainly be
enough for a starter to satisfy the
most clamorous good roads booster.
County Clerk Younhn informs US
that there is now about $1,000 on
hand in the county road fund. The
law Of Kansas states that SIS per
mile per year may be spent on an
average by the county for the main
tenance Of these county roads, so on,
the basis Of 100 miles there is on
hand at the present time sufficient

RICH HARVEST.
So, How'd You Like To BE The
Ice Man?'

The finest ice crop ever grown here,
is now being harvested en- the Little
Wood river near town. Usually the
ice is soft or snowy; and the dealers
ship in ice from Silver Creek almost
every winter. But the recent beauti-
full cold spell, coming without wind or
a fall of snow, froze crystal ice here a
foot and a half thick---ice that would
make DR.. Cook dream he'd discovered
the North Pole again. 1t is not yet an
nounced whether this extra quality ice
will bring a higher price than usual.
The use of ice for summer has pass
ed so far from a luxury to a conven-
fence and almost a necessity, that no
farm is fully up to date without an ice
house. 1t would cost but little; it would
be filled in winter when there is little
other work to do; in the hot summer it
would be a joy forever.

The Human Woman.

We have thought Of life as a build
Ing of many ooms containing war,
commerce, industry, art and science,
all things done by men. Then away
out at one side, across a bridge, was
an annex, az 4 there was our thought
Of home. Chi mother, Preside, cradle,
comfort, beauty, and all the home
ideas. and also the ideas of shame con-
nected with women When women
crossed the bridge and appeared in
the other building, the building of hu-
man life, we were shocked. We felt
that all of life was masculine except
the home.
Women will be better to live with
when they are more human. The
greatest need Of the world today is
for more humanness in its women, SC
that they can help make men more
human. and help make children more
human; for the purpose of all the age
long development of the race in the
attainment of Observation-Disclosures.

o. s. L. TRAFFIC GROWING
Great Orders Placed for Loco

fc Manager at Omaha, to D. E. Rurley,

Line at Salt Lake:
"Order has been given for 246 loco
motives for our related lines, 70 of

Oregon Short Line railroads, delivery

In addition to the purchase men
toned by Mr.. Fort. an order has been
placed for IL, 800 freight cars of vari-
Gus descriptions. AS engines average
from $40, 600 each up, and freight ears
run from $3.50 each and up. it will be
noted that considerable money outlay
is involved in the purchase.

Muscles and Brain.

Experiments conducted by Mosso of
Turin indicate that physical educa
ton and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the muscles,
but for that of the brain as well. 1t
is becoming evident in The opinion of
this authority, that much time
should be devoted - '%'uecular exer-
else as to intellect exercise. and
that children should begin reading
and writing only after they are nine
years old.
Muscular fatigue exhibits pheno-
mena identical with intellectual ia
tigue. Nerve cells show a tendency to
rest every ten seconds. It is probable
that only part % tho brain is active
at a time; the rious parts relieve
one another Tho more mobile any
animals extremitjes are. the more in
telligent, other things being equal. it

VIII the Films Stop War?

The cinematograph as an institu-
ton has come to life since the last i'm
portant war. 1t remains to be seen
how a battle, or the awful fringes of
a battle, will look upon the screen.
For assuredly films will come into
play. Soldiers have always said
md correspondents have in a measure
agreed with them-that the truth of
a cannot be told. How if the truth
Of war were now to be seen?
The late Colonel Stanley has pho
sographs (dag%uerreotypes they would
lerhaps be called OF the dead and

%Tlme.TelIina Made Easy.

Though comparatively few of the
natives Of Turkey own watches, yet
they have an ingenious way of approx
mating the time, and some of them
hit it with considerable accuracy.
They locate two cardinal points of the
compass, and then, holding their
hands together in such a manner that
the forefingers point upward and in
opposite directions, they observe the
shadow cast. In the morning or eve
ming at certain known hours one finger
or the other will point directly at the
sun. A comparison of the two shad-
ows will determine the hours be-
tween.
