There should be no objection tc a bond issue for good roads from any man not a land owner, be- cause he will not be called upon to pay any part of its cost. Nor. when you come to think of the benefit that good roads will bring, should the land owner ob- feet. Such a man, 1t would seem, stands in his own light.

Benefits Of
 Road System
4 Saving to Every Citizen And a Good Investment to Every
 Land Owner.

Good roads for this county means a saving to every citizen of the county; 8 good investment for every land owner, and in- crease in the population of the county. a development of county resources and an increase in county property.
 A mans wealth is usually the result of time spent in work. It takes much less time to travel over good road that a bad one, so that there is a saving in time that may be employed in some money producing labor.
 There will be a saving in the expenditures for vehicles, har- ness and teams, because there is vastly less strain and wear and tear upon them in the case Of good roads. even where double the load is hauled.
 There is a saving in the sell ing price of commodities, be- cause advantage may be taken of good markets where they can be reached easily and quickly. Where all parts of the county are easily accessible by wagon roads. such a condition tends to create new markets and brings more people in touch with the seller. This results in a saving over the bad roads method of marketing in only such places as the weather will permit the sell CT to reach.
 Roads good the year around add value to the adjacent land
 just as a paved street increases the value of abutting property. The many ways in which they save time, trouble and money to
 one living near it, gives the land an added value that will at- tract a better class of tenants,
 so that good roads make for the
 land owner.
 On such land as we have ir
 this county there is hardly ever
 a crop failure. This is an ad'
 vantage over many sections o1
 this country that would attract
 new corners, provided facilities
 were present for transporting these crops in as quick and in as
 economical a manner as other
 sections afford. These new set
 tiers will mean that more lant will be put into cultivation, more crops and more diversified crop: will be raised. These new peo pie will bring money into tht county with them and spend i, here. The increase in crops cul tivated will mean an increase 1T the wealth of the county and as this accumulates it will be in vested here in new and larger enterprises, and this in turn at tracts more people and provides
 more people with a means of live lihood.
 There is no walk in life tha1 l will not be benefited by , change from the present condi } ton that we have "stood for ) so long to one where you cal

AUSTRIAN SESSION HALTED
Czech Deputies Again Raise Violent
Disturbance.

Vienna, March 6.-The lower house
of the Austrian parliament, whose ses-
sions were suspended on Jan. 30 ow-
ing to the violent obstruction of the
Czech deputies, has reassembled, but
again was brought to an abrupt stop
by the tumult raised by the opposition
members.
The obstruction of the Czech depu-
ties was brought about by the attitude
adopted by the government in the
settlement of German and Czech diff
%ferences in Bohemia, which the Czechs
regard as unduly favoring the Ger
mans.

The feature OF the trial yesterday of
the divorce suit OF Frank II. Poss, VICE
president Of the Detroit Baseball Club.
against Lillian X. Poss was the promise
by George Gordon Battle. attorney for
Mrs. Poss, to produce before Supreme
Court Justice Donnelly and the jury a

was wearing the night Poss and his

Percy NJ. Thorn a guest In Mrs. Poss's

Mrs. Poss was hiding I'm a closet and that
when her husband opened the door he
pointed out to them the fact that the
kimono was Mrs. Posss chief article Of
attire.
Ira Heacock. witness for Poss, who
was recalled yesterday by the defence,
didn't know whether or not .he kimono
had a sash. but he thought the kimono
was li-ht blue and of fiimsy Japanese
silk.
I'VE will produce that kimono in court"
said Mr.. Battle after Heacock and other
witnesses had made more or less unsuc-
cessful efforts to describe 1t in detail.
the case for the plaintiff was finished
yesterday and counsel for Mrs. Poss asked
an adjournment until Monday because. he

SENATE URGED TO RUSH
THE TRADE BOARD BILL
Committee May Report 1t, Al
lowing Other Trust Feat
ures to Wait.

WAsHiSoroN June 5.-Actlon Is prom
Used soon In the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce on trust legislation.
The committee will meet tomorrow and
may vote on reporting legislation before
the day is over.
Senator Pomerene OF Ohio made a
motion to-day to report the Interstate
trade commission bill without further
delay and ''ithout prejudice to the other
features OF the antitrust bill. The Sem
ate committee has grouped the antitrust
legislative programme in single bill. but
even at that there Is far from being an
agreement as to what shall be reported.
1t is the apparent failure to come
to an agreement on the entire pro-
gramme that has prompted Administration
Senators to take steps to report out n part
OF the proposed legislation--the interstate
trade commission bill-allowing the rest
OF the programme TO walt II Is to get
something before the Senate to work
upon.
Whether the Pomerene motion will pre-
vail was doubtful tonight. Chairman
Newlands Is known to favor limiting ac-
ton ut this session to the trade board
bill. He said to-day that he had an i'm
preston that business was not In good
condition and he believed II would be
wiser to pass the single bill authorizing
the trade commission and allow 1t to 20
to work collecting Information for future
use OF Congress In trust legislation.
Senator Salisbury OF Delaware has a
motion pending TO report the trade board
bill and send over the rest OF the trust
legislative programme TO the next Con-
sress. but the opposition OF the President
suspended action upon it. Senator Sauls-
bury regards his proposal as dead for
the time being.
The Senate debate on the trust bills
promises to he long. Predictions were
freely made to-day that II would drag
along until September or October. 1t is
admitted now that the inability to come TO
n vote on the Panama Canal tolls repeal
bill is due In part 10 the threat to put
across n complete trust programme at this
session.
