proprietor Of Tolley's Stock Farm.

he rushed breathlsss to The Herald

to come in and and l have been busy
since long before daylight trying to
fill them. As an Advertising medium
can lift my hat to The Herald"
On Monday Mr.. Tolley, or rather
Mrs. Tolley, advertised country sau-
sage for sale. The ad was ordered to
run several times. But that was not
necessary. The folks knew the high
quality Of the Tolley farm sausage
and they read The Herald, advertise
ments and all This accounts for the
hurried visit of Mr.. Tolley to order
out his advertisement on a morning
when the mercury stood below zero.

yond what it reasonably ought to be,
and incurred alone because of bad
roads, is far greater in the aggre-
gate, than would he most liberal tax
levied to build and maintain good
roads.
If this be so, it follows as surely as
night follows day that consumers Of
farm products living in the cities are
ar more concerned that good roads
shall be established and maintained
than are the farmers themselves. If
this is true, if good roads are not only
desirable, but really necessary
agent in the reduction in the cost Of
living is it not wise to provide proper
laws that they may be built in the
best way and at the least cost and
by all means properly maintained? 1t
is certain that the state of Tennessee
does not possess good roads in the
proportion in which they are urgent
ly needed.

JUDGE ROBERT EWING GIVES
SOME OBSERVATIONS UPON
THEIR NECESSITY.
REQUISITE III CHEAPER LIVING
Saving Made to the City Consumer
Through Ability of the Farmer to
Deliver More Over Good Roads
Than Over Bad Ones.
(By Robert EWing.)

1t is absolutely certain that no leg
islation coming before the next legis-
lature it matters not what its nature
may be can equal in Importance that
which will be presented and have Tor
its purpose the securing of a better
system of good surface roads
throughout the state.
Confessedly the necessary cost of
living nowadays, is beyond what it
ought to be. All classes are feeling
it severely. If by the exercise of
good judgment and energy in action,
this cost can be lessened, common
sense demands that it shall be. If
it be conceded that the vast majority
Of persons are sustained in life by
consuming the direct or indirect pro-
ducts Of the soil, then it follows thai
they are concerned in having the
price kept as reasonable as possible.
There are but two ways of lessening
the cost of farm products. The first
and great way is to induce producers
to take such advance steps in all the
branches of agriculture as will enable
them to produce more bountifully, 1.
less cost; the second, but neverthe-
less very important way, is to ar.
range to have these products delive !
ed to consuming markets at the
cost.
With this first requisite towards
cheaper living receiving all the prop.
er attention, there yet remains the
necessity in Tennessee Of reducing
the cost of delivering these products
to those points where they are con-
sumed
If farmer can deliver over a good
road two tons of hay as quickly AMI
with as little effort as he can one
over a bad road, it stands to reason
that he will be willing to give the
purchaser the benefit of the saving
which a good road has enabled him
to make because he Is seller of pro-
ducts, not of wagon hire. AS stated,
all he desires is reimbursement. 1t
is clear, therefore, that it behooves
consumers in cities and towns on
whom the burden of this tax ulti-
mately falls to reduce this cost Of de-
livery, because, whatever it may be,
they surely have to pay 1t. They may
not appreciate this fact, but very re:
liable statistics clearly show that this
~xtra cost Of delivery, over and be-

PARIS, Dec. 15.-During the past
forty-eisht hours the French have
borne the brunt of the fighting in Bel
GUM, France and Germany. Fur
Their progress was made at number
of points and many German prisoners
were taken, according to the official
statement from the front. There are
indications, however, that the British
troops, lying from Holebake to LANCE,
mark, are launching series of new
attacks to dislodge the enemy from
the User canal at those points. On
the heights of the Meuse, there are
further indications of the Germans
retiring from St. MihieI. General
Won DaimIns, who was entrusted by
the Kaiser with the special task of
breaking the British lines at Ypres,
now has his hands full keeping his
own lines intact, and the Germans are
in imminent danger of being forced
eastward across the canal at Ypres.

WILL TEST VALUE OF FEEDS
School Has Purchased 500 Lambs
Which Will be Divided and Fed
Different Rations.

Experiments of great Importance to
the Kansas sheep raiser and feeder
will be carried on by the department
of animal husbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural College this winter.
A shipment of 800 head of a cross be-
tween a merino and long-wooled ma
tive sheep have been purchased and
will be used in experimental work
The sheep were secured on the Kansas
City market and were from Utah
The lambs weighed an average of
fifty-five pounds and cost approx
mately 81 head. They will be divid-
ed into six lots and different ration
fed to each group. One experiment
will be carried on to determine the
comparative feeding value of alfalfa
and cowpea hay, one to determine the
difference between corn and kafir for
fattening purposes. one to determine
the value of silage as compared with
dry feed, and another to show the diff
ference between ground and whole
feed.
The lambs will beNput upon grain
feed the latter part of October and
will be ready to market about the
first of January. The sheep will be
on exhibit Farmers Week after which
they will be sold and complete results

USE WALKING WOOD IN
ATTACK UPON GERMANS

London.-A correspondent describes
a walking wood at Crecy. The French
and British cut down trees and armed
themselves with the branches. Line
after line of infantry, each man bear
ing a branch, then moved forward un-
observed toward the enemy.
Behind them, amid the Topped tree
trunks, the artillerymen fixed them
selves and placed 13-pounders to cover
the moving wood.
The attack which followed, won
the success it merited. 1t almost went
wrong, however, for the French cav
airy, which was following, made de-
tour to pass the wood and dashed into
view near the ammunition reserves of
the allies
German shells began falling there
abouts, but British soldiers went up
the hills and pulled the boxes of am
munition out of the way of the Ger
man shells Ammunition and men came
through unscathed. By evening the
enemy had been cleared from the

MYSTERY IN KANSAS DEATH
Body of Louis Rothmeyer Found in

The body of Louis Rothmeyer,
wealthy bachelor, about 35 years old.
was found in Elmer Creek near Saw
yed by Frank Rhea. Rothmeyer went
to Sawyer from Wichita. He told his
friends that he had been drugged and
robbed the day before in Wichita and
that he was being followed. His mind
was seemingly affected by his exper-
fence.
Rothmeyer was seen at the James
SwOnger home and later went to the
Art Tregallis home. He was invited
to remain there over night, as rain
storm was approaching, but he in
formed them that the men were fol-
lowing him and that he would spend
the night in the hills, so they could
not find him. Later he was seen at
the Stanley home just after the rain
and he told them the same story. He
wasn't seen again until his body was

CHARLES DILLON ON ROADS
Good Highways Lead to Better Things,
(Says Well Known Editor of
Agriculture Papers.

With Roads, Good and Bad as his
topic, Charles Dillon of Topeka, point
ed out the values of good roads in a
fore the International Dry Farming
Congress at Wichita He asserted that
some of the Middle-Western states are
backward in road construction.
Bad roads and good spirits will
never be found together" he said
Bad roads and tenantry; bad roads
and poor churches and schools; bad
roads and no social life; bad roads
and Observation-Disclosures combinations
are always to be encountered
THE Middle-West has been lament
ably slow in road building. The farm
ers are not always to blame for poor
highways. 1 believe that if every dol
lar of taxes for the purpose were prop
erly expended there is scarcely a
county in Kansas or Missouri in which
all roads might not be improved in
three years and the improvements be
maintained
And this does not mean, necessar-
lily, that money is stolen in all of
these counties-although it has been
stolen in a number of them 1t means
that incompetent men under the poor
est management have squandered or
wasted the peoples money"
Mr.. Dillon pointed out that Wyom-
ing, with a population of less than
100000 has nearly 100 niles more i'm
proved highways than has Kansas,
with it's million and three-fourths pop

HEAD IN WATERY PlMPLES

pimples at first were nearly as large
as a pea and in patches which would
inflame and tester and when they
would come open would leave a kind
of wet scales there for few days.
Then when it dried up it would leave
scales on her head that caused her
