]. W. Wiley waived a hearing yes
terday morning before Squire Hobbs
and was held in Jail to await the ac-
ton OF the grand jury Monday on a
charge OF embezling almost $1,000
from the Singer Sewing Machine com
pany He was arrested In Youngs-
town. Ohio. and brought back to this
city by Detective Fred Frazier, OF the
local police force.
His scheme to acquire the money
was TO get a bogus order from some
person and sign the name OF a rep
utable citizen to II and then take a
machine to be delivered. Instead of
delivering the machine to the per-
son he would sell 1t for the cash to
some one and spend the money while
the company expected the payment
from the supposed purchaser. He had
worked the same game in Youngs-
town under the name of Kelley and
was operating there when arrested.
A number OF affidavits have been
sworn to by women OF the city show
ing that he has done this thing I'm
systematic way.

Use Fircless Cooker for Early Break

Nobody appreciates better than the
man or woman forced by circum-
stances to make an early start of
mornings the convenience and COM
fort of fireless cooker. 1t Is dis
heartening to most people to go out
into the chilly gloom of midwinter
morning-say at Z or even at Sand
snatch breakfast en- route With the
aid OF fireless cooker--a very small
one Will do--and a percolator, break
fast may be enjoyed luxuriously, no
matter what the hour.
Oatmeal brought to n simmer the
night before and tuckd cozily to bed
IN the fireless cooker will emerge In
the morning steaming and deliciously
cookd. Coffee and water placed in
the percolator before retiring need
only the touch of match to alcoho!
wick during the morning process OF
dressing to be ready. hot and steam.
Ing. when the oatmeal is placed on the
table. Rolls and bottle of cream
left by baker and milkman outside
the door will complete breakfast
with. perhaps, an orange thrown in
that will sustain the average worker
comfortably until the luncheon hour
comes around.

THE BAD ROADS TAX.

Department of commerce statistics
show, says William y. Taft in January
Technical World Magazine, that It
costs eight times as much to deliver a
pound of coffee from a country gro
Cery store to home a mile away as
it costs to bring that same pound OF
coffee from Rio de Janeiro to New
York.
Also ii costs the farmer who lives
10 miles from the railroad over which
he ships his products. one and one
sixth cents more to haul a bushel of
wheat to the freight station than it
costs the buyer to ship that wheat
from New York to Liverpool.
Again, the bill for carting our cot
ton crop from the fields to the rail-
way stations is something like three
hundred million dollars a year.
Is it any wonder that the price of
cotton, wheat, and coffee remains al
high level, instead of falling pro.
portionately to the increase in pro.
duction?
Something must be wrong.
Something is wrong.
1t is the roads.
Few persons realize the immense
tax put on all of US by the bad roads
and by the difficultiesw hich they en-
tail
Compare the swiftly moving rail-
road train consisting of a powerful
engine and a great number of fully
loaded cars travelling at a fair rate
of speed. with the slow going. half
loaded cart or truck in which the
product is taken from It's point of
production to the railway station.
The difference Is that between dark
ness and light-between efficiency
and waste!
If our farmers could only be made
to realize the tremendous tax which
bad roads impose upon them, not to
mention the tax upon the ultimate
consumer. public opinion would de-
mand the making and maintaining Of
good roads everywhere.
