Mud Roads In Winter Time.

Accessibility or market mas
been, is, and ever will be the one
big factor in determining the,
value of farm lands and the pros
perity Of all who engage in agri-
cultural pursuits. The farm that
ADULTS an improved or paved high
ways is the farm that pays the
biggest interest on the invest
ment and brings the greatest re-
suits in dollars and cents for the
amount of time and labor expend-
ed.
The isolated farm, the farm off
the improved road, the farm that
is inaccessible for six months of
the year, is the farm that is sold
by the sheriff from the steps of
the county court house. Things
grown and raised on such a farm
are perhaps Of the same quality
as those that demand the highest
prices in the market of town and
city and find as ready sale once
they are in reach Of the buyer.
The additional transportation cost
does away with the margin Of
profit, however, and the one
chance Of the agriculturist is lost.
Nowadays, distance is not
measured by miles, but by hours
and minutes. Metropolitan COM
muters care not the number of
miles they are distant from their
work, but only considered the
amount Of time they must spend
in reaching their places of busi-
ness. Truly time is money. The
farmers time may not be so valu-
able as that of the man who
directs the destinies of a half
dozen manufacturing plants,
looks after extensive banking in
terests and controls a couple OF
railroads, yet the time of the
farmer is of sufficient value to be
properly conserved and judicious.

Are You Educated.

A professor of the University
of Chicago has evolved a series
of test questions for the educated
which, he avows, are the best
evidences of a real education. If
you can answer Eyes" to all the
questions you are truly educated,
the professor says. Here are the
questions:
Has education given you
sympathy with all the good causes
and made you espouse them?
Has itmade you public spirited?
Has it made you a brother to
the weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself.
Can you look an honest man or
pure woman in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in
a little child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in
the street?
Can you be high-minded and
happy in the meanest drudgeries
of life?
Do you think that washing
dishes and hoeing corn is just as
compatible with high thinking as,
piano playing or golf?
Are you good for anything
yourself?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world
and see anything but dollars and
cents?
Can you look into a mud-puddle
by the wayside and see a clear
sky?
Can you see anything in
puddle but mud?

Controversy.
From the Columbus Journal

There are some people born to con-
troversy as the sparks are to fly up
ward. They incline to disagree with
everybody and everything. Such peo-
pie are perfectly useless in the world
They make disputes that yield only
green berries. They spread unhappi-
ness in a community. A person can
not say thing but what they are pre-
pared to dispute what he says. Con-
troversy doesn't settle anything II
only fiusters and excites people and
makes them unable to think clearly II
disturbs the quietude of mind. 1t is
the source of worry.
What. then. should man do? Agree
to everything that is said? BY nc
means. Agreement or non-agreement
makes very little difference, unless the
matter is beyond the controversial
stage and demands prompt and definite
conclusion. But usually controversy
makes no such demand. It is contro-
versy alone that has no direct connec-
tion with truth. If every controversy
were analyzed to find out the amount
of merit in it, 1t would be found like
the gold in the ocean. only a trace.
