AUTO FEES FOR GOOD ROADS
No Reason Why United States Should
Not Take First Rank in Road
Building Operations.

There are now upward of two mil
lion motor vehicles in use throughout
the country. or this number more
than a million and half are automo-
biles used for business and pleasure
purposes. About $4,000 motor trucks
are now in use. The revenues received
in the various states from the registra-
tions of these motor vehicles amount
to more than twelve and half million
dollars annually.
The greater share OF this revenue is
being used for road improvement pur-
poses, and provides splendid fund
from which great progress should be
made in the construction of permanent
highways.
With the efficient and economical
use of these new funds there is no rea-
son why America should not take first
rank in road building operations for
some time to G. T1e.-Farmers' Review

LUCK OF THE HORSESHOE
Popular Superstition Has Been Traced
to an English Demon of Thir-
teenth Century.

Why is the horseshoe considered a
sign of good luck? There is nothing
especially pretty about a horses cast
off iron shoe, and no doubt not one
horseshoe believer in a million can
tell why he treasures it.
The origin Of the superstition can
be traced back to the thirteenth cen
fury.
The monk Gervaise OF Tilbury in
forms US that at that time there was
a kind OF demon in England which
appeared as a horse rearing on it's
hind legs and with sparkling eyes.
Whenever this apparition was seen it
was C sign that conflagration would
soon break out.
Hence. as giving kindly warning,
this mysterious horse was regarded as
friendly spirit, and the animal in
general was believed to be a benef-
cent mystic power.
A horse tooth carried in the pocket
prevented tooth ache; 1t was a sign
OF good luck to find a horseshoe, and
one was placed under the pillow of a
child to cure the collie. or nailed
against building to prevent it catch
ing fire. This led to its general adop-
ton as a protective symbol.-Stray

GOOD ROADS NOT EXPENSIVE
Interesting Account of Surprisingly
Low Cost Of Constructing Stretch
of Road in Missouri.

The cost of good roads depends up
on so many things that it rarely can
be estimated with accuracy in ad-
vance of minute examination of the
localities the roads are to traverse.
There may be heavy grading to do. or.
If the course of the proposed road is
level as barn floor" it may be nee
essary to spend considerable money
in transporting from a distance the
material needed for surfacing. Some
times, with absolute honesty on the
part of contractors, and strictest econ
omy, the cost of constructing a given
piece of roadway provokes astonished
comment because it is so great, says
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. Some

Democrats Must Be Alert.

If world tranquility. based on the
triumph of righteousness. should set
in tomorrow, next week or next month,
there would be cause for universal re-
joicing. Considered from the point of
view of American politics, the situa-
tion would not materially affect the
issue which. in our opinion, will domi-
nate the campaign of 1916 in the
United States. For the Underwood
tariff law will remain-a law that in
all probability can exist only so long
as the Democratic party can maintain
control of the government at Washing
ton. 1t would be folly to presume that
Republicans will concede anything in
the line of political advantage to their
opponents in 1916 merely because
President Wilson's policy OF watchful
waiting. patience and forbearance is
popular in 1915.
