Who Pays For Bad Roads

The farmer actually pays a premium for bad roads. He pays it in time expended in getting to market; in value of drafting ani- mals and the food they eat. and in the extra hands for their care and handling; in increased num- Der of vehicles and wear and tear on them, and Tn the decreas- ed product of land that has less attention and care. If the count ry had a system of smooth and hard highways it would blossom like rose. and prosperity would follow in the wake. St. Johns Observer.

Vacation Endowment

The great mistake made by the boys in seeking employment is in securing work that pays large wages, but leaves nothing of value in the mind of the worker. If one intends to make me- chanics his life labor, let him work in some machine shop; the work is hard and dirty, but the practical eT- perience and aid in theoretical knowl- edge makes up for the physical dis comfort. Embryo electric or civil or telephone engineers can pick up vast experience in three months dubbing around the many plants or the tele- phone exchange. Facts, not theories of salesmanship can be found in the shipping rooms and offices of whole sale and retail establishments, al- though a clerk behind a counter gets more pay than the beginner in an of- fce.-Evansville Courier

Housewives and Servants.

You may recall Robert Louis Stev- enson's dictum on the subject now that the servant question is once more to the fore. He declared that the worst features of the British mid dle class are it's fear of death and the way its women treat their do- mestic servants. To a man, says the London Chronicle, it is a matter of no importance whether the cook wears a cap or not, and he can sym pathize with the housemaid being Eliza'd or Jane'd by every comer. Why should not one ask Miss Smith to bring in the coffee, just as at the of fee Miss Jones is told to ring up OOOO Central? But it is precisely on these points that the housewife shows her womanliness towards women. Why?

Kansas City Cattle

Kansas City Stock Yards,
 March P, 1915. Light receipts
 of cattle after Tuesday last
 week arrested the decline in
 prices, and repair work amount ing to 10 to 20 cents was done
 by the end. of the week. Killers claim that the beef outlet is very
 bad. and say it is further clogged by consignments of dressed beef intended for export, which could not secure passage across the ocean, which have to sell in New York. Foreign beef prices are high enough to pay the ex- porter but inability to get beef across nullifies the good market in that direction. Receipts to- day are $500 head, and the mar ket is steady to strong on steers, 10 higher on COWS, strong on stockers and feeders. Beef steers brought $8. 35 last week, but nothing choice was here to- day top $500, bulk on native steers $7 to $8.

Humorous RussIan coIners.

The Russian coiners, who for some time have been circulating through out southern Russia false half-ruble pieces, commonly known as poltinik, certainly have a fine sense of humor. The false coins are excellently fabri- cated, and ring like the genuine half rubles. They came to be detected chiefly by the absence on their outer edge of the usual mint inscription giving, in zolotniki and doll, the amount of silver contained in the pol tinik The later issue of the counter felt coin has an inscription on the outer edge, reading Our money is no worse than yours," a sly and impu- dent hit at the authorities of the im- perial mint. So long as the inscrip- tion is there the man in the street does not take the trouble to decipher it. So far the police have been un- able to trace the coiners.

Piute Indian Uprising SqueIched


 Piute Indian Uprising Squelched
 An Associated Press dispatch from Washington carries the in- formation that the trouble with the Piute Indians in Southern Utah has been settled satisfac- torily by Brigadier General Scott. chief of staff of the U. s. Army. General Scott sent the following brief telegram to his department from Bluff, Utah.
 Successful. Have four Flutes. At their desire am personally conducting them to Salt Lake to turn over to Marshal Nebeker. Leaving everything peaceable behind in Southern Utah"
 The party rode into Bluff ten days after Scott. unarmed, and accompanied only by an orderly and two Navajo scouts, started over the snowy mountains for the Flutes distant hiding place. The general is noted for his astounding success as a peace maker with the Indians, and also with FiIipinos.
 General Scott entered the h. dian country two weeks ago, having been sent from Washing ton to seek to pacify a band of recalcitrant Flutes who were aid= ing Tse Ne Cat in resisting ar rest. A posse of federal deput5 ies under United States Marshal Nebeker recently made an un- successful attempt to arrest the Indian and in a battle be- tween the posse and the Flutes a member of the posse and two Indians were killed and several wounded.
 Six Indians were captured and one of them was later shot while attempting to escape. No de- tails of Scott's trip were receiv- until he rode into Bluff.
