SYNOPSIS or
NEW ROAD LAWS

By the passage of the Koelsch
and Shattuek bills by the recent
legislature, it is believed that a step
has been taken which will eventual
ly result in the establishment of 4
system Of good roads in every
county of the state.
The Koelsch bill provides for the
creation of state highway COM
mission; a special tax for motor
vehicles and for convict labor on
highways. The highway commits
sion will receive no pay except nec-
essary expenses and will have en-.
tire jurisdiction over the highways
of the state. This bill IL modelled
largely after the uniform highway
law which is being adopted in all
states as rapidly as they can get To
it.
A special tax is assessed on mo
tor vehicles as follows: under st
horsepower $40; 81 to 40 horse
power inclusive s25: Al to 80 horse
power inclusive, $50; above 81
horsepower, $50. This tar il pait

used for no other purpose.
Another section of the bin pro-
vides for the working Of oonyiets
on the highways, largely following
the plan pursued In Colorado. The
minor details of the bill are similar
10 the uniform motor vehicle law.
The Shattuck bill provides for
the issuance Of ", 900, 900 in state
bonds, the money 10 be used in

ing system of state high ways.
The payment Of the interest and
principal on this bond issue is pro-

SAVE MUCH IN COOPERATION
Experts Say Farmers and Consumers
Can Make $225, ZOO, ooo-Work
In Europe.

A saving of s225. 200, 900 could be
made to consumers and raisers of the
farm produce Of this country through
cooperative buying and selling. in the
opinion of John Sinclair of the Wiscon-
sin legislative reference library. Mr..
Sinclair was sent by the Wisconsin
state board of public affairs to Eng
land. Denmark and other European
countries in which cooperative mar
keting has succeeded, to study the
methods followed there. and to deter
mine whether these would be appli-
cable to Wisconsin conditions.
The farm produce of this country is
worth about $4,000. 900, and, assuming
that half of this represents the cost of
marketing under the present system,
Mr.. Sinclair in his report estimates
that at least five per cent. of the 9TH
er half could be saved by the pro-
ducers by having their own cooper
alive managers and sales agents. This
would mean net gain to the people
Of $225. 100000. And the experience

Grace that she had her struggle. First,
and bluntly, she told the girl that her
leaving was useless. The secret was
out; 1t had been made public. Every
one knew she was in love with John
and he with her. Their engagement
was considered an established GER
tainty. Grace was greatly agitated
and very indignant.
Who dared say so?" she demanded.

"Yup; me. You are In love with

you're here with him, amt you? II
you two amt engaged you ought to
be-" She argued and pleaded and
coaxed, and, at last, when she began
to think she had prevailed, Grace
brought forward another objection.
She had given her word to her uncle.
How could she break that promise to
dying man? She would feel like
traitor.
Traitor to who?" demanded the
housekeeper, losing patience. Not to
poor Nat, for he's gone. And don't you
suppose that he and Eben understand
things better now, where they are?
Do you suppose that Nat wouldn't
want you to be happy? l know he
would. for 1 knew him"
1t was still unsettled when the long
talk was over, but Grace agreed not
to leave the minister at present. She
would stay where she was until he
was himself again, at least. Keziah
was satisfied with the preliminary
skirmish. She felt confident Of win
ming the victory, and in the prospect
of happiness for others, she was al
most happy herself. Yet each time the
mail was brought to the shanty she
dreaded to look at 1t, and the sight of
a stranger made her shake with fear.
Ansel Coffin had threatened to come
to Trumet. II he came, she had made
up her mind what to do.
The parish committee was to meet.
Captain Elkanah had announced his
intention of moving that John Ellery
be expelled from the Regular church.
There was to be no compromise. no
asking for a resignation; he must be
discharged, thrown out In disgrace.
The county papers were full of the
squabble. but they merely reported
the news and did not take sides. The
fight was too even for that.
One afternoon a few days before
the date set for the meeting Elkanah
and two or three of his henchmen
were on the piazza of the Daniels
home, discussing the situation. They
were blue and downcast. Annabel
was in the sitting room, shedding
tears of humiliation and jealous rage
on the haircloth sofa.

When Fish Go to Bed.

Did you know that fish go to bed In
the winter? Prof Dyche, state fish
and game warden for Kansas, says:
"Sure thing. fish have beds. have
seen them piled up four and Eve fish
deep for q space at least by 10 feet.
Usually they find a place below log
or some kind of an obstruction In a
stream where there is an eddy. They
can maintain their positions there
without much effort. don't know
whether they sleep or not, but fish win
spend most OF winter In that way.
when the water gets extremely
cold the fish become sluggish. They
can move around little, but they lose
all their alertness. They can even be
caught by hand. All you need to do
is to cut hole In the ice after it has
been frozen over for some time. Some
fish will come to the hole for air. 1t is
an easy matter to slip your hand un-
der the fish slowly and you may lift
him clear Of the water before he
makes a wiggle.
