Advantage of Good Roads.

The men that buy up large quantities of eggs and butter, put them in cold storage and after Il few months sell them for twice the purchasing price. buy them from farmers for much less than these demand in city and town markets. That is one of the mysteries Of the stor- age business. Why do farmers sell eggs to storage people for twelve to fifteen cents a dozen and make local ultimate consumer pay them twice as much?
 The agents of the spectators travel long distances in buying eggs, and they purchase large quantities from farmers who live far away from any market. Many of them are glad to sell to the speculators because they cannot reach the ultimate consumer easily.
 In that fact alone is found a sugges- tion for the prevention of price boosting Let the people build better roads so that the producer may be able to reach mar kets easily and cheaply with the pro ducts of their farms. The more acces sible the market the lower should be the prices. Star-Independent.

PoSToFFIcE RULING.

The following ruling by the Postofhce Depart ment at Washington makes it obligatory upon the publisher to either discontinue all subscrip- tionsnot renewed one year after expiration of the time to which they paid or pay regular postal rate-one cent per copy-in advance which must necessarily be added to the regular subscription price to the subscriber thus in arrears:
 1.-The right of publishers to extend in good faith credit on subscriptions is recognized and will not be abridged, and although all subscriptions are regarded expiring with the period for which they are obtained, nev- ertheless, in order to give an opportunity to secure renewals copies of their publications will be accepted for mailing as to subscribers at the usual second-class rates of postage for period of one year from the date of expira- tion; but copies sent to persons after one year from the date of the expiration of their subscriptions. unless such subscriptions be expressly renewed for definite time. togeth- CT with an actual payment of subscription or bona fide promise of payment. will not be accepted at the pound rate, but will be ac- cepted at the transient second-class rate of one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed"

THE OPEN BALLOT.

The Hartford Courant says it would welcome the old-fashioned open ballot, guarded by efficient laws as to corrupt practices. The modern so-called Austra- han ballot offers a shameful number of ways of disfranchising the voter, which is really not the prime purpose of an election"
 And the Courant is right. A rigid enforcement of all the trivial technicali- ties of the present ballot law would d1s- franchise large percen of the in- telligent voters. From the details of marking the ballot to indicate the pref erence of the voter, up to the folding of 1t for deposit in the ballot-box, the pro- cess is punctuated with possibilities for going astray and invalidating the whole proceeding The cumbersome Australian ballot is device of the Evil One, admir- ably calculated to invelgle the most in tellgeGt freeman into showing his

Parcels Post And Merchants.

The new parcels post law has been viewed with great deal of misgiying by retail merchants everywhere. How ever, it should give them new oppor- tunities of which they have little excep- tion.
 It improves their position as respects distance mail order houses. 4 mail or der house 300 to 600 miles away must pay 65 cents to get a 10 pound parcel mailed. The local merchant serving the same article to fifty mile territory, can get the same thing carried for 32 cents. He can send it for local de- livery, including such rural routes as may start at the home post office, for II cents.
 A mail order house over 1000 miles away must pay 9l cents to get such q parcel mailed.
 It should be possible for the local mer- chants of this town to develope good trade i'll the outlying country for ma terial to be delivered by parcels post.
 Suppose a farmer wants steak for dinner. He can order It by telephone and have it mailed within 50 miles for eight cents. The possibilities for the development of that business are un. limited. The postage is cheaper than the Gime he would spend in the pro- vision store making his purchase and paying for it.-Hartford Post.

PARCELS POST.

The new parcels post system is now in operation, and although it cannot req sonably be expected to work perfectly in all it's far-reaching and intricate ram ifications, at the very beginning, it is bound to be boon and blessing to the greet mass of the people. And there is grim satisfaction in the fact that tue system will cut down the profits of the rapacious express company which works this section of New England, and which is probably one of the meanest of the greedy corporations with which the peo- pie generally have to deal-a concern that puts a premium on incompetent service, and swells its income by capi. talizing the blunders of its own stupidity

What the Other Fellows Say.

Standard Oil officials are not looked upon as possessors of literary talent, but when q few letters written by John D. Archhold command price of $3S,ooo it is getting into the Kipling class as far as cash goes. Whether that is the exact figure or not only William Hearst can say.-Bristol Press.
 Among other good points made by President Mellen is this: '"No road in this country could go through such fire of publicity and have so little found against Waterbury American.
 It is not to be expected that Gov. Bald win would have any but kind words for the New Haven road. He grew up with it in the years when it made friends fast. He labored with it as it strengthened its hold on the railway lines of the state and gained monopoly of Connecticut trans portation. He knows most of it's older executive officers as friends. He couldn't desert it in its hour of need.-W Waterb ury Republican.

Letters From the People
Caesar and Macdonald.


 The following ingenious versification has been received from subscriber in Hartford:
 "When Caesar took an eastward ride and grabbed the Gauls for Rome What was the first thing that he did to make them feel at home? Did he in- crease the peoples loads and liberty for bid? No. he dug in and built Good Roads-that's what old Caesar did.
 Did Caesar put the iron heel upon the foeman's breast, or did he try to make them feel that Roman rule was best? What did he do to make them glad he'd come their midst amid? He built Good Roads in place of bad-that's what old Caesar did.
 "He built Good Roads from hill to hill, Good Roads from vale to vale he ran a Good Roads movement till old Rome got all the kale. He told the folks to buy at home, built roads their hills amid, until the eroads all led to Rome that $ what old Caesar did.
 If any town would make the town the centre of the map, where folks will come and settle down and live in plenty's $ lap, if any town its own abodes of pow erty would rid, let it get out and build Good Roads--just like old Caesar did.
 If any state can show their roads in such perfect state, as those in old ConnecticuG-each one of them first. rate. Macdonald planned and built thens all, regardless of the lid. He builds them and maintains them-just as Old Caesar did,"

Seven Deadly Sins of Women.


 The seven deadly sins of women were announced by Mrs. Mildred Manly Easton at d meeting in the Hotel Astor of the Club for the Study of Life as n Fine Art, on Wednesday. Several hum dred women listened in paralyzed silence when Mrs. Easton gave out the following list of besetting feminine sins Gluttony, l 'ziness, fear, envy, jealousy, revenge, lust.
 According to Mrs. Easton women spend the time between breakfast and luncheon in digesting. Between Iun- oheon and dinner they are again busy with digestion, and after dinner they digest some more. Apropos of laziness. she said that plenty of women are golng around more dead than alive. thinking they arc victims of some fashionable ail- ment, whereas they have nothing the matter with them except laziness.
 Women are so afraid of things. she said, that they have actually had their circulation pinohed to the point of stag nation. Envy makes them" "snakyn and jealousy makes them sour and snippy. Revenge developes the dangerous women. She admitted that she did not attribute the seventh deadly sin to the majority of women, whereupon those present looked feebly grateful. New York Sun.

THE SECRET OF IT.

The people of Long Island are pre- pairing to demand enough from the new fifty million bond issue voted by the people of New York at the recent elec- tion for new or improved roads, to con- struct a boulevard from Brooklyn to Montauk Point. Just where do the farmers of the state, whose interests We're urged as the main reason for as. suming the new burden, come in?-Bos- ton Transcript.
 This is the point exactly, that inter- ests the people of Connecticut, and es- pecially the farmers and the people of the rural districts. A large share of the opposition to Highway Commissioner Macdonald comes from the boulevard gentlemen who demand that the bulk of the state appropriation for good roads be expended in the construction ot ex- pensive bouIevards for the benefit and pleasure of automobile tourists, to the neglect of the roads in the small towns and rustic hamlets where the farmers and those who have more or less practi- cal ''teaming" to do may be benefited. The commissioner has steadfastly re- fused to divert the funds placed in his charge to any such exclusive use at the behest of the leisurely and wealthy pleasure seekers for the qualification of thelr selfish desires and at the expense of the "little towns whose taxpayers furnish large percentage of the money. In other words, the commissioner re- fuses to slight the little towns ill the matter of the good roads which they need and for which they are taxed, in order to provide speedway boulevards for the exclusive use of the wealthy touring gentlemen who are clever enough to evade payment of their full share of taxes and many of whom pay nothing at all.
 It is this attitude of the commissioner, in safeguarding the interests of the little towns, that is the basis of much of the strenuous and apparently organized antagonism on the part of the anti. Macdonald element which has been so perniciously active in the conspiracy to compass his hum iliation.

BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Our silent times are often
 More eloquent than words The messages they carry

 Too deep for human speech While from the mighty silence
 Some lesson great they teach If constantly we're aiming
 To gain life's higher part, Our silent times will blossom
 And will enrich the heart.
