SLOW IN TAKING ADVANTAGE
Certain Loss Due to Bad Roads Made Apparent When Sledding Is Good
 During Winter.

The heavy snows and excellent sled ding serve to emphasize what might be accomplished if good roads pre- vailed all over the country. Farmers can take their bobs and put on twice as heavy loads as is possible at other times. It is not argued, of course, that with roads as smooth as dance hall floor the teams could pull on wheeled vehicles the loads they do now on bobs. But there is certain loss due to bad roads that is made all the more apparent by the ease with which transportation is made when the sledding is good, says South Bend Tribune. And to think that for all these years nature has been show ing us the advantage of good roads and we have been so slow to take the hint! It should make us ashamed or our blindness and stupidity.

INTERESTING STORY BY GIRL
Says That Children May Assist Par ents by Giving Them Benefit of
 Education Received.

A very interesting story appeared in the County Agent recently, written by little girl eleven years old, who is her fathers right hand man when it comes to keeping books. MT. Vaplon of the Colorado Agricultural college hopes that inasmuch as all children are expected to keep records, many will develop into home bookkeepers.
 This little girl, Hazel Kent, says: Bookkeeping is the most important part of any business; farming is business just the same as banking, hence it is just as necessary for a farmer to keep a record of his ac- counts as it is for any other man, this is a period of investment in all lines of business; why cannot the farmer keep up with the times and put his business where it justly belongs and run the farm with some system of end of day, or month, or year, that the farm is on paying basis; let the daughter, or daughters, keep the books for the home and family ac- counts, and the son, or sons, keep the books for the farm. If we children would help our parents in this way, we could give them the benefit of our education which they are making a sacrifice to give us. Your banker would be glad to help you get started with your books and would take an interest in you. I know you would like it.''

Are the Athletics and the Boston Braves to suffer from the jinx that has pursued two of the greatest ball play CTS in the game for all the long years, of their careers? Will the present worlds champions and the American league title holders lose their laurels this year because they have in their ranks the two most unfortunate ball players in the country. Sherwood Ma gee and Larry Lajoie?
 For 19 years Lajoie has mauled the ball, fielded wonderfully and in all re- spects played a champions game, yet he has never played with a pennant winner In spite of his wonderful play he has yet to feel the thrill of stepping into worlds series box score. The same Is true of Magee, who for 13 years slugged the ball for the Phillies, earning the right to be chased as the National leagues greatest batter.
 Lajoie's great ambition is to play with a pennant-winning team. Strange ly enough the spring that he left the Athletics to go to Cleveland, in 1902, the Athletics proceeded to win their first pennant. Since then they have prospered exceedingly in this respect, and only last season won another American league flag.

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT
FIGURE COST OF BAD ROADS
Hauling Produce More Expensive Here Than in European Countries
 Total HauIage Expense.

American farmers have begun to figure the matter of roads a little diff ferently than in former years," says President Claude s. Briggs of the Briggs-Detroiter company of Detroit. When the good-roads movement was in Its infancy they used to ask them selves How much will good roads cost me?' Thanks to the intelligent propaganda of the daily and farm pa- pers as we'll as other agencies farm CTS are now asking themselves How much are bad roads costing me?'
 According to government experts the cost of hauling ton of farm prod. uce mile varies from seventeen cents in localities where fairly hard gravel roads exist to thirty-five cents ton in parts of the country where the roads are in poor condition. On the other hand, in those European countries where hard roads prevail the cost is as low as nine cents ton mile. The department of agricul- ture has estimated that the total haul.

Cat and Rat.

Have you ever played this game? It is great fun. Get a large number of children to ring up in a round ring. Select one person for rat and one for a cat. The rat gets on the inside of the ring and the cat on the outside, and the cat tries to catch the rat. The children must try to keep the cat out of the ring. If the cat does get in the rat must get out. When the rat is caught new cat and a new rat must be chosen. This is a fine outdoor game.

age expense to American farmers for a year is approximately $500,0O0, 900. And every dollar of this sum comes from the farmers pocket, for he is the one great producer who cannot add the haulage expense to his wares, for the prices he gets are on a de- liyered basis.
 q believe that if every farmer would take pencil and paper and figure the amount in tons of the produce and stock he markets in year, multiply it by the number of miles he must haul it to market, multiply the total by 25, which is about the average haul ing cost a ton mile, and then consider that he could save nearly half of this amount every year if he had concrete or other hard roads all the way to his market, he would become an earnest good-roads worker
 And this actual dollars and cents saving doesn't take into consideration the many advantages of good roads in bringing neighbors closer together, in making 1t easier and pleasanter to get to church, school, entertainments, etc.
 with wider interest in better roads must come more efficient system of road building and maintenance. This is work for experienced and compe- tent highway engineers, just as much as building a railroad is the work of highly-trained specialists. It is no plaything for politicians"

Mack now stop as soon as the jinx- pursued Larry joins?
 Magee labored all his career with the Phillies, and although the team came within a hair of winning twice in recent years, some accident always prevented Magee from realizing his ambition. Last winter he announced that unless he was traded to either Boston or New York, the two teams with chance for the pennant, he would go to the Federals. Now both Larry and Magee have realized their ambitions. They are with teams that have just won championships. Will they be able to say at the close of the season that their jinx has been chased?

CANADIAN WHEAT
SEIZED BY ENGLAND
ACTION TAKEN UNDER SPECIAL
WAR ACT BY CANADIAN
GRAIN COMM SSlON.
All High Grade Wheat Elevators
From Fort William to Atlantic
Coast are Communicated, Esti-
mated at 100000 900 Bushels.

Ottawa, Ont.-The Canadian gov
eminent has Communicated all high
grade wheat in elevators from Fort
Williams on Lake Superior to the At
lantic coast.
This action was taken under the
special war act by the Canadian grain
commission. The wheat seized was OF
grades one hard and one, two and
three northern 1t was the property
OF grain shippers and millers. That
taken is all that which on Saturday
night was in public elevators at Fort
Fort William, Port Arthur, Midland,
Tiffin, Port McNichol, Collingwood,
Coderich, Kingston, Port Colborne,
Prescott, Quebec, St. John, Montreal
and Halifax.
A revised estimate places the
amount at about 10000, 900 bushels. A
considerable amount Is the property
Of American grain dealers.
The grain was taken Saturday night
so that grain exchanges should be af-
fected as little as possible. 1t is
officially stated that the price will be
fairly adjusted and the grain owners
promptly paid by the Canadian gov
eminent. It Is estimated that there
is still in Canada in the hands of
farmers and dealers west of Fort Will
liam, 150,000,000 bushels surplus OF
wheat available for export. 1t is er-
pected that most Of this will be taken
in the future for the use OF Great
Britain, France and Italy. The domes.
tic supply Of Russia is more than suf-
ficient to meet the needs Of that coun-
try. Had the Dardanelles been forced,
the surplus Of Russian wheat would
have made the present action unnec-
essary. While the wheat just taken
was Communicated to fill an order
from the British government for a
large quantity OF wheat, 1t Is under
stood that most of it will be shipped
to Italy.
The Canadian government will look
after the transportation of the grain
to the Atlantic seaboard, and from
there its shipment across the ocean
will be undertaken by the British gov
eminent in the same way that ship
ments of oats and hay have been
handled for the past year.

Hop Market Waits
For Definite News
OF the 1915 Crops

Portland, Ore, Sept. a. Reports
from Willamette valley hop yards are
very much mixed regarding the output
this season. Some yards show rather
liberal losses from last year, while 9TH
ers are showing increased output. Gen
orally speaking the reports indicate a
crop similar to that of year ago.
Entire absence of demand is showing
for hops at this time. Leading dealers
report that brewers are not interested
in the market, in fact their offers to
sell even below the figures they be-
lieve the market will open at, find no
response from the best markets. On cv-
erv hand there is keen desire to dis
cover the exact size of the American
crop and the quality available in the va
rions sections.
According to report from the Hop
Growers association in Neutomischel
sent in by United States Consul Harry
G.. Seller, from Breslau, Prussia, the hoT
vines are exceedingly healthy and the
general outlook for large crop is very
favorable. The early varieties are in full
bloom and the later varieties are jus
beginning to bloom.
The heavy rains during the last few
days, together with continued warn
weather. have been very beneficial, ant
large harvest is predicted. Practical
