WORLD.

Fairmont people will he glad To
learn that the celebrated line OF
Kruger groceries will be carried in
this city by Mr.. c. o. Miller, prOprie-

returned from Cincinnati where head
quarters OF the Kruger Wholesale
Grocery aud Baking Company are To-
Gated and while there he closed 4
contract with that coRcern for the eN-
elusive sale OF their food products in
this city and adjoining towns.
The Kruger Grocery and Baking
Company has probably not been heard
Of by most OF the people Of Falrmont
but there are good many families
in this city who have lived in cities
here Kruger stores are operated who
know the Kruger reputation for re.
liable goods and low prices.
The Kruger Grocery and baking
Company own aud control l41 stores

Ter proposes 10 do. These stores are

the Kruger Company to bay goods nct

Krogcr distributes these articles
through their different stores at d

more for his Ioney as it comes direct

buying other brands OF goods the
same article can be purchased at a
Kroger store for less money owing to
the fact that Kroger buys in such
enormous quantities.
Mr. Miller will not run special

but all goods will be sold at Il re-
duced price and every Monday and
Tuesday of each week his price list
will appear for the entire week.
Mr. Miller has adopted the ErO
ger cash system for customers with
whom il is NOT convenient 10 always
have the change to pay the driver on
delivery OF goods. These are coupon
books which can be purchased at the
office in the amounts of three, five and
ten dollars. and when the goods are
delivered the coupons are given III

Miller has been using these books
for some time and finds them very
satisfactory both 10 customer and
himself.
Mr.. Miller claims that it is, a facI

cheaper for cash than for credit and

Education and Good Roads

The question of good roads has
been taken up very largely on the
score of the great economy they
would work; the saving they would
be to the farmer in getting his pro-
duce to the market. But there is
another phase of the question that
deserves consideration also, and
that is the effect of good roads on
the education of our agricultural
population. The child that has to
go from the farm to the country
school over bad roads is handicapped
at the start. Part of the time the
bad roads will be in such condition
that it will be impossible for him
to get to school at all; at other
times when he does struggle to
school the difficulties he has over
come prevent him from reaping
the profit he should get from his
schooling. Bad roads mean poorer
farms and a poorer community,
and this in turn, means less money
to be devoted to school purposes,
and therefore, poorer schools.
It is in the Southern states that
the bad roads are in the majority
and it is in the Southern states that
the percentage of illiteracy is great
est. That there is a relation, we'll
defined, between bad roads and
poor education may be seen from
the fact that in FIVE states where
the percentage of good roads is
high-Indiana, Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Ohio and Massachusetts,
II per cent of all the children of
school age are attending school.
In five bad roads states-Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas and
South Dakota-which states have
only 9 per cent of improved roads,
less than go per cent of the children
are at school. Of 5000, 900 people
in four states with bad roads there
are 5000 native born whites that
can not read or write. In four
states with good roads where the
population numbers 5000, 900 only
20, 500 are illiterate.
These figures are taken from the
Southern Good Roads Monthly,
which is fighting the cause of i'm
proved roads with vigor and in
telligence. Great is the economic
value of citizenship educated as il
should be.-Indianapolis Star.

THE placing of steel rails on the
free list isn't helping out on our
grocery or meat bills. You are
not breaking up many steel rails to
mix with your bowl of milk. If
we are to have free steel then we
want free beef and mutton and
wheat and potatoes and sugar. We
object to have our product placed
ON the free list while we allow the
farmer to have his products pro-
tected by tariff. If our industry
is to be placed duty free i'll compe-
tition with all the world, then let
all other industries be similarly
treated, because the meat raiser
