THE FARMER: JULY 19. 1916

It is worth noting that from the time of the old Cumberland highway sur veyed by Washington and built by the national government it was not until the automobile had come and proved it's practical value as the greatest bur- den bearer of the centuries that there was any serious thought of interstate and transcontinental highways that would hold the country together in the closest neighborhood. It was not until wise men at the capitol discovered the rural free delivery postal routes, that a constitutional way was found to make the government at Washington an active partner in the enterprise of building good roads foy the health of the nation.
 The Motor Car Bulletin prepared by the United States office of public roads and rural engineering is a sug- gestive and interesting contribution to the good roads literature on the sub ject.

GYPSY CUBOS PLIGHT.

King Cubo. travelling gypsy musi- clan, called at the police station this morning and said that last week he paid Andrew Pasca, a Slovenian, who lives in Willard street, $5 for bass viol. The instrument was out of re- pair and he put it in good condition. He started around Saturday afternoon playing from place to place, collect ing what he could. He visited a saloon where the former owner of the viol happened to be. When the latter saw the transformation in the instrument, he regretted of having sold it so cheap. Cubo having occasion to leave the saloon for minute, Pasca seized the instrument and leaving $5 with the bartender told the latter to tell the gypsy that he had changed his mind. When Cubo returned he refus- ed to accept the money. and today he asked the police to help him recover his property. The authorities prom ised to do so.
