"Uh-huh."
But her message was not convinc-

she made the effort. but always 1t was
fruitless. Then she began to squirm.
Finally she sat up in her bed. Her

BENEFITS FROM COCO ROADS
Increase Value Of Every Aero Of Lane
Acknowledgements Principles
Being Followed.

Slowly but surely farmers are
everywhere coming to the ;t.liiZuiion
that good roads increase the value OF
every acre adjoining or in proximity tc
them, and that the best OF land will
be hard to sell If it can be reached
only through heavy. muddy roads the
greater portion OF the year. In so far
as our section tnorthern inh;anal liz
concerned. the progress in making
good roads has been quite marked
during the last five years. say; a
writer in Farmers Review. AS >oon
as 1t was announced that the l.inccln
highway would have it's course through
our section, the value OF farms lying
along and near this course increased
as much as rs per cent.
1t is really astonishing how foolishly
the methods Of road making were for.
merly carried on. Farmers had fallen
into a habit of working on the roads
in very different way from what they
worked on their own farms. 1t often
looked as ii some feared they might
do more work than their ncighbors---
hence they were determined to do less
Sometimes, in fact nearly always, the
most incompetent man in the district
was chosen supervisor, and he often
had great difficulty in prevailing upon
the farmers to do enough work to en-.
able him to make proper returns to the
commissioners.
Another matter quite noticeable in
those days was that in making roads.
all principles of good road making
were as a rule violated. No effort was
made to drain the roadway 1t was
simply thrown up little higher than
the roadsides so that when the heavy
rains came the water, instead OF run
ming off, would settle into the depres-
sions made by the wagon wheels ant
remain there until slowly evaporateu
the ruts in the meantime growing
deeper and deeper. The farmers them.
selves despised the roads heartily.
AS to materials for road making, It
was the almost universal rule to take
that most convenient. If 1t happened
to be good gravel, we'll aud good. but
il, as in a large majority OF cases, 1t
happened to be sand, it was used Just
the same.
But in these days such roads will
no longer be tolerated. We have in
northern Indiana any number OF good
gravel beds and from these gravel is
drawn and spread upon the roadbcd to

time it is possible with such good ma

play truant from business for q day
or two, and wished to see Samson
comfortably ensconced and introduced.
The first day Farbish and Samson
had the place to themselves, but the
next morning would bring others.
The next day. while the mountain.
eer was out on the fats. the party of
men at the club had been swelled to
Q total Of six. for in pursuance Of
the carefully arranged plans of Mr..
Farbish, Mr.. Bradburn had succeeded
ip inducing Wilfred Horton to run
down for q day or two of the sport
he loved. When Horton arrived that
afternoon, he found his usually even
temper ruined by bits of maliciously
preached gossip, until his resentment
against Samson South had been
famed into danger heat. He did not
know that South also was at the club.
and he did not that afternoon 60 out
to the blinds. but 30 far departed
from his usual custom as to permit
himself to sit for several hours In the
club grill.
And yet, as is often the case in care.
fully designed affairs, the one element
that made most powerfully for the
success Of Farbish's scheme was pure
accident. The carefully arranged meet
ing between the two men, the adroitly
melted passions of each, would still
have brought no clash, had not VIII
fred Horton been affected by the flush
ing effect of alcohol. Since his college
days, he had been invariably abstemi-
GUS. Tonight marked an exception.
He was rather surprised at the cor
diality OF the welcome accorded him,
for, as chance would have It. except
for Samson South, whom he had not
yet seen, all the other sportsmen
were men closely allied to the politi-
cal and financial elements upon which
he had been making war. Still. since
they seemed willing to forget for the
time that there had been breach,
he was equally 80. Just now, he was
feeling such bitterness for the Ken
tuckian that the foes Of a less per-
sonal sort seemed unimportant.
In point of fact, Wilfred Horton had
spent very bad day. The final straw
had broken the back of his usually
unrufied temper, when he had found
in his room on reaching the Kenmore
q copy Of certain New York weekly
paper, and had read page. which

suit Of the decision of the style COM
mittee of the National Cloak, Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers Association,
made public at its closing session to-
day.
Skirts will be short and full and
coats will be cut shorter. Because of
a lack Of materials and dyestuffs,
colors and textures will be less
varied, but the designer viii make up
for this with wide range in cut and
trimming.
Tucks and frills will emphasize the
skirt fullness. Ripple effects will be
good. Checks and stripes in all ma
terials will be jacontes, while dark,
plain colors trimmed with vivid
shades will be fashionable. Pockets
on skirts and cuffs on sleeves of bold
design in prominent color contrasts
will be a feature. Garments for mid
dle-aged women win be almost az
jaunty as those for college girls,
Belted effects and deep yokes in sep
arate coats will emphasize this ten

.AU 0 WRECKED IN
TURNING A CORNER
A. ZELIUS. JR., DRIVING HIS OWN
CAR, DROVE MACHINE INTO
CURLING AND TORE OFF ONE
WHEEL.

In turning from Gregory street into
Alcaniz street yesterday afternoon at
1.30 o'clock, Alex. Zelius, Jr., SON of
the well-known city recorder, seems
to have lost control of the automobile
he was driving, for the latter, instead
of taking to the pavement as it was
the intention of the driver to do, shot
into the curbing, and bowled over on
the grass plot.
One wheel was smashed, and an
other badly damaged, but outside of
these damages, the machine appeared
to have been all right.
Later in the afternoon warrant
for young Mr.. Zelius was made by
Officer Harper, and he was arrested,
charged with operating the car in a
reckless manner. He had no trouble
in giving security for his later APP
pearance.
Two Others Arrested.
Later in the afternoon, II. L. Scott
was arrested for operating an auto
mobile fast enough, the policemen
claim, to have exceeded the speed
limits. He will appear in the re-
corder's court and tell his side of the
speed he was negotiating.
Johnnie Johnson, residing on East
Zarragossa street, was placed under
arrest at 5:45 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon charged with the reckless OPP
Grafton of a motorcycle. The alleged
reckless riding was said to have
been that Of exceeding the speed
limits.
