How to ForetelI the Weather.

The only sensible. the unequally reliable. methods of knowing wba. the weather Is going to be, are:
 |. Getting the official forecast of the United States Weather Bureau.
 2 Reading the barometer and noting the wind direction.
 3. Observing existing conditions of the weather and drawing infer ences based upon experience.
 Each of these methods may, of course. be used to the exclusion of or in conjunction with either or both of the others. However. since the information received by the weather bureau necessarily Is linn ited. and since 1t ls impractlcable to make hourly forecasts for indi- vidual farms and villages. 1t mani festly is best to use, if possible, all three at the same time. The official forecast for knowledge of the type of weather to be expected on the morrow. the barometer and wind direction for evidences of rapid changes. and of what the weather may be in very few hours; and finally. the weather signs of the kind above explained for indica- tions of what the weather probably will be during at least the next hour or two. In short, use the weather bureau, use your barometer and use your eXerience. too. But above all. use your own good sense and never accept any forecast that hasn't an intelligible reason back of it.-Chief W. L. Moore of the United States Weather Bureau in The Progressive Farmer.

How to Keep Good Roads.

We should have men living along our roads whose duty it should be to drag the roads as often as they need il, to fill up and smooth over Impressions before they wear into holes and ruts, and to look after and keep up the road generally Divide the roads into sections of stated lengths and let out the up- keep of each section by contract. Have a road inspector for each county, whose duty shall be 10 give his whole time to the inspection of the roads of the county and to re- port any non-performance of duty that may occur. Require both con- tractors and inspectors to give bond for the faithful performance of their duty.
 What is everybody's business is nobody's business" is an old and true saying. Make the upkeep of our roads somebody's" buisness and we will have good roads at less than what bad roads now cost us. We won't have them until we do.- Frank L. Butts, in The Progressive Farmer.

 The local Woman's Christian Temperance Union will hold its next session at the home of Mrs. W. D. Durham on April 30. Reports from the department workers Is the order for the day Our last study, Jail Work with Mrs Clara Will son as superintendent pro tempore. resulted in a clearer view of the sad condition of prison life. We see the necessity of roofing out the old system and inaugurating a new one just as soon aS those outside of the walls can be made 10 see themselves as they are. The world is practically full of murdererS, thieves and licentious beings. and only a small proportion are inn prisoned. Those that entertain murderous thoughts are muderers: those that take the earnings of the poor to keep up professors and all sorts of graft are thieves, and li- centlOuSnesS has governed the majority so long that the world says let the majority rule us still. But the elect class of this age will still pray that the kingdom of righteousness come and the will of God be done as it is in heaven Will prison walls ever eradicate evil?

WILL BE ONE GOOD ROAD.
Saline County Will Have 6 Miles
 Costing S30.000.

Little Rock. April 26.-Saline county Is to have a stretch of road six miles in length which will cost about S30OO0, and Is expected to be one of the models for Arkansas. The road was provided for by an act of the last legislature, and as it Is to be an improvement of an old road, this amount should make it truly a model. C. E. Greenfield and $. A. Moore of Saline county, two of the road commissioners, have requested the state highway de- partment to supervise the work, and this will probably be done when the department is organized and ready for work.

The Value of Vacation

The advantage Of rest and change for
Tie beiterment and prolongatIon of life
is not as generally appreciated as ii
should be- IL is true that il is quite
common for the rich and Vell-to-do to
take their annual vacations for the rec
reaJion Of travel, the rest Of the rural re
treat or the idleness Of dissipation Of
fashionable resorts. Ii is also true that
nowadays many Of the toilers with brain
and sinew get a brief periodical surcease
from their annual round Of drudgery
and that countless thousands of unre
hitting workers in the shops and ia the
homes long in vain for the rest which
never comes until il is the final rest
But greater number Of those who have
vacations or who only dream Of them,
have poor conception Of their real
need and the best means Of making the
most Of the period Of cessation from
their every day work
Many who take vacations do not get
out Of them the rest they need, or the
benefits that might have accrued. They
have fond pleasure and entertainment,
but they have not found the rest and
recreation that is adapted to their espec-
ial needs. In other words, they have
had temp rary change and some en-
joyment, but they have not had the rest
that nature has demanded and they re-
turn 10 their accustomed labOrs with lit
lie relish and zest for their work Their
chief need is rest, the rest that repairs
the human machinery that has been
strained 50 long that il has grown weary.
Too many seek the pleasures which tire
and PAIL or the dissipation which I'M
dermines, when they most need repose,
10 lay awhile upon the shelf. as il were.
Marx Twain once said:
when an acre Of ground has produc-
ed long and well, we let il lie fallow and
rest for season; we take no man clear
across the continent in the coach that he
started in-the coach is stabbed some
where on the plains and its heated ma
chinery allowed TO cool for a few days;
when razor has seen long service and
refuses to hold an edge, the barber lays

II. NJ. BROCK, of London, got as we
predicted in our Tuesdays paper he
would, his trouble for his pains. He
sued Col. w. p Walton, then editor and
owner of the Frankfort Journal, for
some SI5,000 or $50, 600 for alleged libel.
The SUIT had been hanging fire since,
once resulting in hung jury. 1t came
up at London Tuesday and a good por-
ton of that day and Wednesday were
taken up with the trial of it. Ii didn't
take the jury long to dispose of it, how
ever, and a few moments after the case
was given to it the members returned
with a verdict of not guilty. Suits were
instituted against several other Ken
lucky papers, which compromised by
paying Brock small amounts, but Col.
Walton, whose motto is that of the la
mented Grover Cleveland, Never Com
promise with Dishonor," fought it and
won out. Probably he would have saved
money by paying Brock few paltry
dollars, but Col. Walton is hot built that
way, and now he no doubt feels better
than those who gave up their hard earn
ed money for pretense. 1t is folly to
sue a newspaper; that is, if the person
aggrieved wants justice. There is not a
newspaper man in Kentucky who will
not cheerfully set Alright any and all who
even think they have been injured by
his publication. They are more than
willing to give greater publicity to the
correction than 10 the report, as has
time and again been proven. So if you
feel injured by anything you see in a
well managed paper don't rush to some
cheap lawyer and oder him TO bring
suit for damages, but 90 to the editor
and give him true status of your case
and if you re.not given hearing and fair
ly treated, then sue him and fight the case
to the bitter end. But for the sake of
decency, give the newspaper a chance
to right its wrong first.
