GOOD
LOWER EXPENSE TO FARMERS
Good Roads Reduce Greatly Trouble
Of Transporting Crops to Market
Cause Of Distress.

Before the war in Europe affected
farmer more to haul n bushol of wheat
nine and a half miles to the railroad
station for shipment than ii cost the
buyer to ship the same bushel OF
wheat from New York TO liverpool. a
distance Of 5000 miles, according to
a bulletin issued by the American
Highway association. The average
cost of hauling a ton OF farm produce,
or u ton OF anything else, over the av-
erage country road is about twenty.
three cents a mile; 70 years ago the
cost of the same service was Ii cents.
The cost of hauling over the railroads
Is less than one-ninth as much as 1t
was 80 years ago. The cost Of hauling
by railroad has almost reached the
vanishing point; the cost OF hauling
on the country roads has gone up as
the roads have gone down.
by careful calculation, Logan Wal
le. Page, director OF the United States
office Of public roads. has reached the
conclusion that with wise and eQuita-
bl road laws and good business man
agemen' it would be entirely practica.
BILE for the people to save themselves
on the two items OF hauling and ad-
ministration the enormous sum OF
$3.50. 000. 900 yearly. The railroads in
the United States carry about 100000
900 tons of freight annually. and Of
this vast tonnage at least 200 ,00O,0
tons are hauled over the country roads
to the railroad station or to the canals
for shipment. The immense volume
of mining products aggregating mil
lions Of ons is not included in this
estimate. but only the agricultural,
forest and miscellaneous products
hauled by wagon over the public roads,
nor is the cost of hauling back and
forth between the farms and the mills.
The main cause CT agricultural dis.
tress." says the bulletin. "a subject OF
perennial alarm to popular favorites,'
is not so much the wages of the work
ers or the infertility of the soil or the
prices Of the products, but the enOr-
nous drain Of getting the stuff to
market, the waste OF the roads in the
wear and tear of machinery, the sacri.
flee Of teams. the ineficiency Of serv-
ice compelled by impossible highways.
Tributary to every market town or
railroad station there are what Mr..
Page calls zones Of production

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.

Heads Of the big industrial ON
Germs OF Chicago see a very direct re-
lation between the enforcement OF
the Sunday-closins law and the phys
ical and mental condition Of their EN-.
ployees on Mondays. and naturally
they are not inclined to agree with the
liQuorites' caustic criticism Of the pur-
itanical, undemocratic law and its en-
forcement. The men who manage the
great industries tell US that Sunday
drinking has meant lessened efi-
cheney. decreased mental and moral
stamina. deprecated physical vigor
and the wasting Of money and conse-
Quent worry over financial conditions.
Our workmen now come to the
plants on Monday morning with clear
heads and rested bodies" said a fore
man Of Armour and Co.. the big pack
ing house. 1T was the complaint of
all packers before the saloons were
closed that many of the men either
did not show up at all on Monday or
reported with 'h%angovers' that re-
duced their efficiency so per cen dur
ing the day, and affected it for sew
eral days thereafter. Now the men
are on hand Monday morning with
steady muscles. rested bodies and
minds. fit for their tasks"
Our workmen were all on hand last
Monday for the first time in years.
said one of the foremen OF the Illinois
Steel company, the week after the
Sunday-closing law was enforced.
When we asked them what caused
the change they said they had moth
ing to do Sunday but rest for Mon
day. Besides, most Of them had
enough of their wages left not to need
to ask for advances before the next
week ended"
The closing Of the saloons is a boon
to industry" said n of the depart
ment managers Of the International
Harvester works. When the en-
ployees have had time to note its ef-
feet, they will give it their heartiest
support
The direct effect on the building
trades is that about 25 per nj more
workmen were on hand last Monday
than at any time during the period
l have been handling large numbers Of
workmen," said a member of the Con-
tractors Association of Painters and
Decorators.

morning, and fortunately the door next
to mine was unlocked

PROHIBITION IN ARIZONA.

Arizona's prohibition law went into
effect January, 1915. A booklet issued
in the state detailing results tells of de-
crease in criminal costs and increase
in building and in bank deposits.
In one county the increase In the
value of taxable household goods Is
nearly half the taxable value of the
liquor stock last year. The value OF
household goods plus the value Of au-
tomoblles purchased since prohibition
became effective almost equals the
total amount of liquor stocks in that
county in the year.
