GOOD ROADS AS
 CROP PRODUCERS
Government Studies Show How The Agricultural Output of A County Depends Upon
 Its Highroads.

of the area through which it runs has now been satisfactorily demonstrated by studies con- ducted by the United States De- partment of Agriculture in Vir- ginia. Conditions in Spotsylva- mia county were investigated with particular care and the re- suits have proved surprising. In 1909 the county voted $100,000 to improve 40 miles of roads. Two years after the completion of this work the railroad took away in 12 months from Freder- icksburg, the county seat, IT, 900 tons of agricultural and forest products hauled over the highways to that town. Before the improvement of the roads this total was only 49,000 tons annually; in other words, the quantity of the county's pro- duce had risen more than 45 per cent. Still more interesting, however, is the increase shown in the quantity of the dairy products. In 1909 these amount ed to 114,S15 pounds, in 1911 to 273,028 pounds, an increase of practically 40 per cent in two years. in the same time shipments of wheat had increas- ed 59 per cent, tobacco 31 per cent, and lumber and other for est products 48 per cent.
 In addition to this increase in quantity, the cost of hauling each ton of produce was materi- ally reduced. In other words, the farmers not only produce more cheaply, for the cost of transportation to market is of course an important factor in the cost of production. From this point of view it is estimated that the $10O,OOO spent in inn proving the roads in Spottsyl- yania county saved the farmers of that county $41,000 a year.
 In the past two years the traffic studies of the Federal ex- perts show that approximately an average of 65,00O tons of outgoing products were hauled over the improved roads in the county an average distance of 8 miles, or a total of 520, ,000 "ton miles" Before the roads were improved it was estimated that the average cost of hauling was 20 cents a "ton mile"; after the improvement this fell to 12 cents a "ton mile", or a saving of g. cents. A saving of 8 cents per mile on 520,O00 "ton miles" is $41,000 a year. The county's investment of $1O0,OOO in other words returns a dividend of 40 per cent annually.
 Because this saving, in cases of this character, does not take the form of cash put directly into the farmers pocket there is a widespread tendency to be- lieve that it is fictitious profit while as a matter of fact, it is just as real a source of profit as the increase in the price of wheat.
 In Dinwiddie county, Virginia, for example, where peanuts is one of the staple crops, the av- craze load for two mules on main road was about 1000 pounds before the road was im- proved. After it's improvement the average load was found to be 2,OO0 pounds and the time consumed in hauling the larger load to market was much re- duced. In other words, one man with a wagon and two mules could do more than twice as much work with the improv- ed road than an unimproved 1.NoL yTvLose se 4ho oxyvOlo n o +S0va of

MUNICIPAL SALOON
Waubay Making Active Campaign
for Municipal Drink Emporium.

Waubay, April 30.-Notwithstand-
ing that a majority of the voters of
Sisseton have declared for the abol-
ishing of the municipal saloon at
that place, which recently had gain
eu a great deal Of fame because of
the large profits which it gave the
city, the residents of Waubay have
commenced an active campaign for
the installing of a municipal saloon
at that place on July /. 1t is plan
ned to conduct it on somewhat the
same plan followed in the case of the
Sisseton saloon.
Under the state law there is no
authority for a municipality to en-
gage in the saloon business, but
there is nothing to prevent the city
councils from granting an individual
the exclusive right to conduct a sa-
loon and then have citizens act as
agents of the town in directing the
operations of the saloon and turn
ing into the city treasury the profits
derived therefrom. The making pub
lie of the great profits of the Sisse-
ton saloon proved the undoing of the
municipal saloon there, as the peo-
Pile believed too much money was
spent for liquor and accordingly a
majority of the voters declared for
the abandonment of the municipal
saloon and as a result Sisseton will
be dry after July /.

MEXICANS PLEASED
WITH THE NEW ORDER OF
THINGS AT VERA CRUZ.

Vera cruz, April 30.-With the
natives enjoying the freedom of the
city for the first time since the land
ing of the American forces, Vera
Cruz took on something like its US
ual placid appearance. Under a pro-
clamation issued by Rear Admiral
Fletcher, the bluejacket patrol on
the streets ceased hating Mexicans
and the natives moved about the
Alameda and other centers, taking
an unusual interest in the foreign
colony.
Admiral Fletcher is making every
effort to get word to the Mexicans
of the interior, giving them a care
full account of the conduct of the
Americans since landing and the or
derby conditions of Vera Cruz, where
American rule is being made as in
conspicuous as possible. The ad-
miral believes the Mexicans here
have been greatly treasured and
they would not welcome a return of
Huerta forces. For the first time
in 10 years they are free of the spec
tacle of an army gang gathering in
poems wherever found and loading
them into box cars.
With the exception of the marines
all the American naval men who took
Vera Cruz from the Mexicans will
leave the docks here and return to
their ships. The places of the blue
Jackets will be taken by Brigadier
General FunstOn's troops.
