ROM OTHER EENS
ROADS FOR FARMERS.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston in
addressing the American road con-
gress in Detroit urged good roads for
the farmer in preference to the great
transcontinental highways for automo-
biles At the same time, however, he
did not underestimate the service of
the automob ilStS for road building.
Discounting Mr.. Houstons connection
with the agricultural department and
his official interest in the farmer, lis
doctrine is the best in the interest of
good roads in general and in the final
ity those great transcontinental high
ways about which we hear so much
these days and for which the autOmo-
bile and highway associations are
working. Urge on the local community
the necessity of improving the local
highways for the benefit of the farmer
that the road might be made easier for
him to transport his products to mar
ket, and pretty soon there will be a
chain of good highways from one end
of the country to the other. The old
saw, necessity is the mother of invcn-
ton" might be applied to road building
and transcontinental highways with the
little change to read, necessity is the
mother of Improvement" Highways
or any other improvement based on ne
cessity will be found to be more lasting
than those built for pleasure. BY M
proving the roads with view to bene-
fitting the farmer, tightening the bur
den, saving him in horsefesh and waG-
on wear, he will respond to the demand
for improvements, and it will not be
long before we will see Just what so
many are striving for. a transcont!-
mental highway, and at less cost than
is now estimated by Automobiles VITO

HOW THE TARIFF RUBS.

Cattlemen of Kansas will be inter
ested in the late news from the Next
can border that the importers of live
stock there are placing thousands of
head of Mexican cattle in bond for the
purpose of taking advantage of the
rates under the low tariff bill which
has just been passed. This is case
which illustrates concluSiVely how the
new bill operates to the advantage of
the foreign producer and to the detri-
ment of the American producer, which
in this case is the American farmer.
These imported cattle raised upon
cheap land and tended by cheap help,
will come into competition with Amer
lean beef, raised upon high priced land
and by we'll paid labor Another
phase of the question is that the
American government loses the duty,
the new tariff bill simply puts it's hand
into the national treasury for large
sum and enables the importer to get
just so much more for his cattle, thus
revealing a situation detrimental alike
to the American farmer and the
American government, but Immensely
profitable to the foreign Importer

That's the answer in a nutshell. The

and then it was too late
The decision by Umpire Bill Dineen in
the Browns third inning. when two runs
were scored, caught the Nationals of
their guard. So apparent to Gandil was
the fact that Austin was out that he
started to roll the bali TO the center of
the diamond and also to pull on his
glove. Catcher Henry, too, started to
walk away from behind the plate.
Agnew. who was on third, and Shotten.
at second, started for the plate the min
ute the ball left Austins bat; conse-
quently both were able to score before
the astonished Gandil and more-surprised
Henry could get busy. After the game
Austin himself admitted to the Wash
ington players that McBride's throw had
him beaten by a step.
Chick Gandil and Danny Moeller have
both made solemn vows not to undergo
the operation OF shaving until one or the
other has obtained three hits during a
single ball game. Germany Schaefer
says that when the Nationals return
home Moeller will be as bewhiskered as
Rip Van WInkle.

Browns made a mistake by letting Short
stop Lavan go to the Athletics at the
