Good Road Notes.

Why not get busy with the county
rock crusher? Wouldn't it be better
for the people to build permanent
roads, even if we 60 & little slower?
Think it over. Suppose district
starts ia and macadamizes one mile a
year, improving the worst places
first, and keeps at it for few years.
At the end Of that time it would have
several miles of permanent highway
that would cost practically nothing
thereafter to repair, and be good all
the year through. Under the present
system the people will go on forever
and every year be right where they
started the year before. Why not
build something permanent and in a
few years get where road taxes will
be practically nothing? We build
roads with as little judgment as a
5-year-old boy builds a house of
blocks-to be knocked down and re-
built over and over again.
Jack Harlan, county commissioner
elect, has the right idea. He pro-
poses to spend county funds at home
as far as possible. Instead of buying
steel road culvert Mr.. Harlan sug-
gests that the county buy cement and
then hire home labor to make con-
crete culverts that will last forever.
Now isn't that good horse sense?
One mile of good road is worth ten
miles of poor roads. Instead of build
ing temporary dirt road that must be
rebuilt every year, why not make
permanent roads by using crushed
rock and gravel? There is an abun-
dance Of the finest raw material with
in easy reach to be had for the
taking.
What Clearwater county needs is
some common sense in the matter of
road construction. We need roads,
not political foolishness, and those
who work on the roads should be will
ing to give dollar in service for a
dollar of road money. The county
hasn't always received that much.
"A stitch in time saves nine,' is
good motto to apply to road build
ing.
The farmers cannot expect to get
paid for dragging the roads in front
of their farms. If the people are
not willing to donate little time,
and unite in the good roads move
ment, then stop talking about good
roads. If the people feel that way
about roads then the county will never
have good roads. If the farmer must
draw road funds every time he bitches
onto drag to work the highway in
front of his own farm then the time
to talk about the King drag is not
yet. The people must be willing to
join in good roads movement and
donate some time or we will never
have roads. If the people must draw
county funds every time they spend a
moment on their roads it is nonsense
to talk about good roads. The eastern
farmers drag their own roads on their
own time. Each farmer owns split
log drag. And then every farmer
drags his own road. He drags from
his gate to the gate of the next
neighbor.

STOCK vs CROPS.

In these days of distressingly high prices of meat, with beef selling at 20 to 25 cents pound and pork from IS to 30 cents, we wonder that it has never seriously occurred to the farmer that the raising of stock is much more profitable than raising grain and vegetables for the market.
 Ask your butcher if you think he is mal,inp all the profit He will tell vou he cannot sell meat at lower figure and make a profit. If this is true and it undoubtedly is, then there must be money in raising stock, and good money teo.
 Ask the farmer if he does not think so, and he will answer, "Yes there IS money in it, if we are fixed to raise st~ck." And there you are
 With a country that is naturally rich in pasture where all kinds or forage crops will grow in profusio1, and where the feeding season of the year is short, there seems no reason why the farmer should not be fixed to raise stock
 The present season has been very dry one. a bad season for the grain and vegetables crops, yet the forage crops in the forests and the seeded forage crops have done well. This indicats plainly that a stock feeding crop can be grown to better advantage in a dry season than can vegetables and other market grains.
 Hogs and cattle on the range throughout this section have done very we'll up to this time and nc doubt will continue to do so unti a refreshing rain causes the pasture to spring up again.
 It looks as though the sooner th' farmer who has stuck to market crops gets liked" to raise stock, the sooner he will acquire a competency. and the sooner the present shortage of mea will be overcome and prices resume something of their normal figure Meat will never be cheap again, sC the farmer need not fear a glutIln} of the market.

FIRE SAFETY.

The drouth and the coming of the Fourth of Juy causes well grounded apprehension of fire. The small boy and the fire cracker are going to prove serious combination this Fsmrta. Young America, with bands playing, the flags flying and the glad acclaim which ushers in the nations birthday, recks little which direction he throws the sizzling fire cracker. Of course he wouldn't mean to do it. No boy does, but if the boy and the fire cracker started conflagration just at this time and there happened to be a brisk breeze at the time, we would have another experience like on that Septemebr day of last year when large portion of the city was laid in ruins.
 Parents, be overcarelm nv" ou allow the youngsters co handle fire works this year. It may mean the loss of your home and your property, and of your neighbors property.
 The danger line should be drawn at the fire cracker, the sizzling, cavort. ing sky rocker, the roman candle and other explosives which just at this time would start fire in the twinkle of an eye.
 Give the youngster some other kind of a Fourth this year. picnic, a party a trip to the country, anything but the usual explosive Fourth. Dcnt wait until July to regret it. Prevent il on July f.

MISSIONS IN THE philippines.

The churches and hospitals that are
founded by foreign missions In the
Philippines have done much to raise
the standard of comfort and reduce
the suffering among the people.
No man can realize the great influ-
ence for good that the churches can
exercise until he exercises executive
authority at the head Of a government
like that Of the Philippine Islands, as
I did for four years. This experience
completely changed my views of the
benefit of foreign missions and their
usefulness in the spread Of Christian
civilization. Therefore, when I am
called upon in any proper way to ex-
press my opinion upon this subject,
I gladly seize the opportunity to aid
in cause that is working not only for
the Christian religion as a religion,
but for the better condition Of men and
women all over the wor1d.-Ex.P resi-
dent Taft in The Youths Companion.

A NOTICEABLE CHANGE.

One of the most noticeable reforms
of recent years, and one that is greatly
appreciated is the present methods Of
handling witnesses in court. The case
that has taken up the time of the court
this week is sample in point. States
Attorney M. J. Englert and ex-States
Attorney A. P. Paulson. opposing each
other, have demonstrated that two at
torneys working on different sides Of
case may treat the witnesses with
the same courtesy while on the stand,
that they would on the street and yet
obtain the facts that they were Striving
to bring out. Those who have been
permitted to follow the case say that
both attorneys appeared to be attempt
ing to bring out the honest truth and
that no attempt was made at any time
to resort to the old fashioned methods
of intimidating witness. Without
any legislating, the courts Of the state
have underwent great change in the
past few years but none that is more
gratifying than the abandonment Of the
costume of bulldozing witnesses.

Mrs. Louis kousky, Whose Sanity l.
Questioned, Deserted by husband
Mandan, N. D., Jan. The mari
tai experiences of Mrs. Louise Kousky
have been many. Her sanity has been
questioned, but she was released after
an inquiry into her mental condition
at Bismarck, Judge j. c. Johnson of
this city presiding in the absence Of
Judge Mckenzie Of Burleigh county.
The woman stated that she had been
married three times, was deserted by
the first two husbands and that the
third evidently "stole away in the
night" as he was missing when she
awoke in the morning and has been
ever since. She stated that she has
number of children but that their
whereabouts is unknown to her. Al
though her statements were consider
ed odd and the story somewhat doubt
ed, evidence to warrant her commit
ment as insane was considered lack
ing.

Fargo Forum: Land Commissioner
Frank S. Henry, who has been so sue
cessful in conducting school land sales
in Cass and Trail counties, believes
the interest on school lands should be
reduced from per cent to at least 5
per cent. The constitution provides
that interest should be at the rate of
6 per cent on all school lands, payable
annually in advance.
The Forum heartily concurs in this
view. Mr.. Henry points out that the
monies of the permanent school fund
and other educational funds are in
vested at the rate of per cent and
5 per cent, and it is unfair to charge
the man who buys and improves the
land a higher rate of interest than
the man who makes the loan.
|. When the constitution was enacted,
this was new western country, mon
ey was scarce and interest rates high.
At that time 6 per cent was fair in
terest, but with the growth of the
state, money has become more plenti-
full and interest rates have decreased.
The Forum believes that the next
legislature should enact such legisla-
ton so as to amend this part of the
constitution and then the actual farm
er who makes the improvement on
this land would be benefited as we'll
as the one who borrows from the
state.
