GOOD ROADS
Homer D. Wade

Chairman Good Roads Committee, Ma.
tional Farmers Union.
No other citizen realizes the value
of good roads as does the farmer.
A community can safely he Judged
by the kind Of highways 1t maintains.
The greatest chasm between the
producer and the consumer Is the
mud hole.
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the
profits.
There is something radically wrong
with the farmer who is opposed to
good roads.
Without good roads, there can be
no development that will be per-
manent and enduring.
Bad roads keep children away
from school and impair the efficiency
of church work in a community.
The elementary principles involved
in improved highways are social and
domestic happiness and business eco,

EVER-PRESENr HELP

"If you are tempted to reveal
A tale someone to you has told,
About another, make it pass,
Before you speak, three gates of gold
Three narrow gates First, 'ls it
true?"
Then, "Is it needful?" In your mind
Give truthful answer. And the next
Is last and narroWest, "IS it kind?"
Aud if to reach your lips at last
1t passes through these gateways three,
Teen you may tell the tale, no" fear
What the result OF speech may be"

Many people who pride themselves
on being progressive are really only
possessed of an imprfssionable mind
which absorbs every new idea with
out any thought of its value. Such
people would throw away all of the
past accumulation Of knowledge just
because it is old, and would accept
all the new just because 1t is novel.

that is worth while. As one starts to read book it Is well to read the pre- face which usually gives an insight into the authors character and his ideals which are to be developed later on. It is test not to judge book until you have read il yourself. Book re- views are usually very brief and often give wrong conception Of it and your ideas may be very different concerning it than those of some one else who has read it. You are your own judge as to whether it is helpful book for you or not.
 In closing I wish to quote a quota ton of Anthony rrollope's:

Not Paint

The worst mistake in painting Is not putting oil. That costs about 10 per cent; you keep your money year and pay 10 percent for 1t.
 Paint would have to come dow n 25 percent to make 10 percent on the job, for wages do not go down. The worst mistake is "cheap' paint. It costs from 50 percent to 100, first cost, and another in wear.
 What a liar "cheapn isl "Put-ofin y is bad enough; "cheap is ten times worse.

John Clay, turning to his stenOgra-
pher. you see, reports from all our
travelling men tell us that the super
iOTity of the Clay filament has been
thoroughly demonstrated. The ques-
ton is, can we manipulate our capital
to keep OnmanUfacturing, with Rea

bill and the other creditors pressing
us?"
Miss Marston was silent. There was
q flush on her face as she bent over
her notebook.
She had come to John Clay ten
months before with the highest rec
concentrations. Tactful, quick, well
educated, and with a personality that
commanded recognition, she had
made herself indispensable to her en-
ployer.
The Clay company and Philip Mac
intyre & Co. were rivals in the manu-
facture of the new filament, an i'm
provement upon a. patent recently
taken out by a bankrupt concern.
Owing to technicaities the improve
ment could not be patented. Clay
and MacIntyre had each put a prod
let upon the market and it was a
light to the death between them.
John Clay knew that his invention
vas superior to his rivals But they
had money and he was at his wits
ends for it. If he could hold out he
would win. But his creditors were
pushing him hard.
At the worst he would have to sell
out to MacIntyre, accept the few
thousands that they would offer him
and go into retirement. The thought
of defeat was bitter to him. He was
straining every nerve. And what
harassed him in addition to his bust
ness troubles was the knowledge that
MacIntyre was logging him with

was barely thirty and he knew that

The final process, the carbonizing,

Sufragists HAPPY.

The suffragists., are happy over
their FIRST victory Of the Legislative
session, in ,oyerturping an adverse
report Of the election committee on
the Larson bill to allow women. to
vote, on president. The fight for
this, bill was led by Mary d. MeFad-
den.
The Larson bill proposes for Min
nesQta something like the plan adopt
ed in Illinois, where the suffrage was
extended to women on all offices not
fixed by the Constitution. No con-
stitutional amendment is necessary
to, do this, and if the bill passes it
will give the women of Minnesota a
chance to vote on president at the
presidential primaries and the gen
eral election next year.
The adoption Of the minority report
on the Larson bill only put it at the
foot of general {, orders in, the house,
which, with the list, more. than 800
bills long, Is long, long way, from q
safe, position However, there, is a
chance that It will be, reached, and a
chance that it will be- passed. a sim

It has been. said that during tn

practically all education should be
taken in through the eyes. During all
time: living creatures on this earth
have been educated by the eyes alone
and all animals except man have
practically no education except that
which; the. eyes can: give.
AS the twig is bent the. tree is in
clined, 50 as we become older we still
use our eyes for instruction. Hence
illustrations--and the: things which
those that have the main points
brought out in picture.
Give child a book containing pic
lures, and he is at once instructed as
we'll as amused. The Bible which
The Pioneer is distributing to it's
readers is filled from cover to cover
with these eye-teaching pictures.
Besides the full page color plates
from = the famous Tissot collection
there are more than six hundred il
Illustrations printed in with the type,
taking up particular text or verse
and picturing it so as to more wildly
impress it's meaning on the reader.
This picture-teaching Bible is the
only one of it's kind published and
the volume bound in genuine limp
leather would sell for IS or more any,
where. There is also a SO volume, ex-
actly the same in every respect ex-
cept for the binding. Then these two
styles are also duplicated in Catho-
lie edition, Douay version, which is
endorsed by Cardinal Gibbons and
