Hohmann's Address Read.
An address By John H. Hohmann,
a county commissioner. from Blue
Earth county, on Permanent Roads
and How to Procure Them" was
read before the convention yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Holman was I'M
able to be present in person because
he was busy with the closing up of
contracts with Mr.. Wonders between
the government and the counties in
terested in the Scenic highway.
Mr. Hohman1 declared that actual
demonstration of the value of good
roads has been afforded in Minnesota
by the construction of short stretches
of such roads, and that farmers and
business men all over the state were
clamoring for aid to construct roads
on an extensive scale. No one now
was rash enough to make the state
ment that the roads as they are now
were good enough" as many per-
sons maintained a few years ago.
Commended the Dunn Law.
The speaker commended the repeal
by the last legislature of many of
the obsolete road laws and the en-
actment of the Dunn good road law.
which, while perhaps not perfect III
every detail permitted the bst form
of road construction under expert
supervision.
building up of the main highways of
travel first, statistics showing that
about Sc per cent Of all travel was
on these roads. The roads could
not be built too good. The work
should be done in practical and
scientific manner, so that the same
piece Of work need not be recon
structed year after year The abol-
ishment of the old road tax system.
and the placing of all the road work
on a cash basis was commended.
Mr. Hohmann suggested regular
patrol system for every county as an
excellent means of expanding the 20
per cent for road maintenance re-
quired under the Dunn law.
Senator James T. Elwell of Mime
apolis spoke at some length concern
ing the Elwell road law under which,
he maintained, there could be put
into immediate operation all good
suggestions made at this convention,
including the building of the "Black
and Yellow trail' through Minnesota,
in way and at cost each county
should be willing to spend. In the
making of assessments for road inn
provement, the practice in Northern
Minnesota, the senator said, was to
spread the assessment over an area
extending three miles either side of
the center Of the road. On good
gravel road costing $1,000 mile,
the assessment averaged one cent an
acre each year for ten years, with
! thirst.

KEEP RECORDS OF COWS.
First Kansas Testing Association
Formed at Abilene.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 27.-Kansas
got it's first cooperative cowtesting
association this week. A group of
farmers near Abilene, under the direc-
ton of the Kansas Agricultural col
lege, have organized the Dickinson
County Pioneer Contrasting association
and it already is doing business The
purpose of such associations is to keep
records of the cows owned by the
members. The association hires man
to visit each farm one day out Of ev-
cry month. He weighs the milk of
every COW and tests it; weighs the
feed, too, and records all of these OPP
erations for one day. With this in
formation at hand a farmer can calcu-
late, readily, the profit or loss made
by every COW in his herd.
To finance the association every
member pays 81 a year for every COW
he owns This money goes to pay the
salary of the man who does the test
ing and for other incidental expenses.
The association at Abilene is organic
ed on the basis of 400 cows. man
already has been hired to do the test
ing and he is making his rounds now

There is a host of pills, powders, tab
lets and what-not for rheumatism, but
they all lack the first essential to being
:. natural medicine. To begin with, rheu-
nate a variety of pains, and can only be
reached by irrigating the entire blood sup
ply with a naturally aSSimilative anti
dote. True, the pains may be eased with
narcotics or the acids may be neutralized
for the time being with other acids. But
these merely temporize and do not even
lead to a cure. There is but one stand
ard rheumatism remedy, and it reflects
the best thought of the day. 1t is pre-
pared in the great Swift Laboratory in
Atlanta, Ga, and sold in all drug stores
under the name of S. S. S. at $1.00 q
bottle.
Starvation has been advocated by many
as a cure for rheumatism, and yet S. S. S.
accomplishes in fact what faddists pro-
claim in theory and without the punish
ment of starvation. Hot springs and
sweating are often recommended, but
S. S. s. does all that is expected of these
expensive and weakening methods.
It is conceded by the closest students
of the subject that rheumatism is caused
in most cases by an acid condition of the
blood and aggravated by the remedies
commonly used for relief. In other cases
rheumatism is the result of nerve depres-
sion; in still others it is the effect of
some scrofulous blood condition, having
been treated with mercury, iodides, arse
mic and other poisonous mineral drugs
The recoveries of all these types of
rheumatism by the use of S. S. s. is a
wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy
of this remarkable medicine, for it is as
simulated just naturally, just as spe-
officially, and just as well ordained as the
most acceptable, most palatable and most
readily digested food. Do not fail to
get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day. You will
be astonished at the results. If your
rheumatism is of such nature that you
would like to consult a great specialist
confidentially, write to The Swift Specific

When the news went abroad not
long ago that the Detroit Tigers had
disposed of Davy Jones to the Chicago
White Sox, there was heard a general
murmur among the sport writers and
the more knowing fans. well, Davy
is nearing the end
Perhaps he is. And the story of
Davy Jones is one of the saddest in
American League annals.
Way back in 1905 Jennings got
Jones from Minneapolis. Davy had
made a good record in the American
Association, and a brilliant career for
him in the American League was pre-
dicted. But it happened that at that
time Jennings had three of the best
outfielders in baseball-Cobb, Craw-
ford and Mcintyre. So Jones became
utility outfelder.
Year after year since that time
Jones has warmed a Tiger bench and
ate his heart out. For Jennings
wonderful trio has stayed with him.
Though one of the best outfielders in
the American League jones has never
been a regular until now, as he grows
old, he gets / chance with Chicago.
Jennings would not hear to releasing
him SO long as he was at his best. 1t
was only when Jones began to slip that
he decided to dispose of him.
OF course Jones has been drawing
his salary right along. and it has been
n good one. But red blooded player
wants to play; the salary is always
