they are being imprisoned and sacrificed for a few dollars, that real roads would cost to build and hence when they become of age they say good bye to the farm and Ego to town" ;"
 This in itself is the HIGHEST TAX that the farmers are pay ing for not having real roads. It is their own blood that they are giving and there's no one tc blame but themselves. If they were to wake up to this ONE loss alone, they would demand of the big land owners and corpor- ations, a system of permanent roads.
 It has been figured carefully and safely that three-fourths of the entire cost of rock roads for the north end of Monroe county would fall on the nonresident property wners, and the cor porations. Surely the farmers who SUI fer most can see this and next winter when they are floundering thro' loblollies of mud which are sure to take the place of these play pretty roads, they will awake to a full sense of their duty, protect their families and in real earnestness start a movement i that will mean more in busi- ness way to this section than anything else possible.
 Just watch 'the good roads next winter"

Man,e Debt to the Candle.

After the lamp came the candle, whose modest ray we are inclined to regard with a considerable amount of kindliness and esteem. But for the candle the dark ages of the world would have been dark in still more literal sense than they already were, and to this humble servant civilized mankind was indebted for the very best illundnant 1t possessed, certainly until the latter end of the eighteenth century, and probably right Ilp to the time of the invention of gas.

wATen InE aoADs NEXT WINTER

Right now if the farmers of tho Brinkley territory were ask cd to vote on issuing of bonds to build permanent roads in this section they would vote "agin" it by . big majority and would ny ''why look at our roads. they are fine and they are dragging them and making them just right and they are going to be kept up."
 It is the same old story that l have heard for the past quarter of . century right here in Brink ley. During the summer time the roads are generally fine. Just . little work on them makes of them regular boulevards and for the six or seven summer months the people who dread the cost of REAL roads congratu- late themselves on the good dirt roads without taxation. " But the fall rains set in and winter comes and THEN the play pretty" dirt roads melt away into mud loblollies that would mire up agteen of butter Aies. As pen1le who do noe hese to el over them " sod by to the country and the country people, right at the time when they need real roads, founder thro' the mud trying to get their crops to market, making two and three loads where on gravel roads, ono load would equal more.
 The winter months finger and the loblollies of mud and mire prnetically make prisoners of the families of the people living on farms. If sickness comes the dootors do their best to avoid having to go to the country thro' the next to impossible seas of mirey mud which had, during the summer months, been beau tiful dirt roads.
 Of course this enforced inn priaonment disgusts the boys end girls of the farms, who with such roads. have no hope for advantages and opportunity. The glare of the white lights of the towns appeal to them when

Terrible Abyss.

The greatest depth yet sounded IS 21 200 feet, near the island of Guam. If Mount Everest, the worlds highest mountain, were plucked from its seat and dropped into this spot, the waves would roll 2,O0O feet above Its crest. Into this terrible abyss the waters press down with force more than 10, 900 pounds to the square inch. Ihe stanchest ship ever, built would be crumpled under this awful pressure I.ke an eggshell under steam roller.

are ready to make an honest effort
among themselves to compose their
differences.

political and military leaders, prob
ably will be dispatched within a few

cided to take a walk In the afternoon.
While strolling along he heard a piano
and, following the sound, came to q
house on which was a sign reading:
Miss Jones. Piano Lessons Is
Cents an Hour"
Pausing to listen. he heard the
young lady trying to play one Of Cho-
pins nocturnes and not succeeding
very we'll.
Paderewski walked up to the house
and knocked. Miss Jones came to the
door and recognized him at once. De-
lighted, she invited him in and he sat
down and played the nocturne as only
PadereWski can, afterward spending
an hour In correcting her mistakes.
Miss Jones thanked him and he de-
parted.
Some months afterward he returned
to the town and again took the same
walk.
He soon came to the home of Miss
Jones and, looking at the sign. read:
