Enormous Cost Of Bad Roads.

There Is no need of discussing the
importance of good roads. They are
essential to comfortable travel, to the
economic production and distribution
Of farm products. to the development
especially of satisfactory rural schools.
and to the improvement of the social
life Of the nation. Bad roads are very
expensive possessions. It is estimated
that It costs 20 cents under existing
conditions to haul ton a mile on the
average country road and only IS
cents on a properly improved road, but
this is not all the story. The direct
cost Is very great and tho indirect
costs are possibly even greater. With
bad roads the farmer Is compelled to
haul when he should be engaged in
other activities, while with good roads
he can plan his operations without
reference to the weather. The states
and the local units. as has been init
mated, have strikingly recognized
these truths by greatly increasing
their appropriations and by devising
better machinery.-From 1.-THE Gov
ernment and Good Roads," by Hon.

The second meeting Of this Union
will be held on Thursday evening,

Embree and c. o. Holway of the
Farmers Union Grain & Supply Com
pany will attend this meeting.
On the 14th a special meeting of the
Westbrook Farmers Union, West
brook, was held and Mr. Embree was
present by invitation. This union is
very progressive. The building which
they erected about one year ago is
now too small to accommodate the
business and an addition will be add
ed this fall.
On the 18th there will be meeting
at w. Falmouth having in view the or
ganiz1ng of another local and later on
locals will be formed in Grey and 9TH
er towns in that vicinity.
The Potato Market.
Potatoes sold in the Boston Market
on the 14th at $1.05 per bushel and
$2.20 per bag of two bushels.
In the New York market potatoes
are still holding high and there does
not appear to be much chance of a
break for the next week. Western
early crops seem to be practically a
failure. They have been suffering on
account of lack of moisture, but
Thursday rain reached practically all
over the West. The crop In Long
Island is not over 20 per cent of nor
NAL. Mountains and Cobblers in Jer-
sey are practically cleaned up. but
about one-half of the Giants are left.
They are beginning to dig in Pennsyl-
vania, but nothing has reached the
New York market as yet. They are
selling at one dollar per bushel. F. O.

Japan's Material Gain from the Rus
sian Alliance.

When the new Russo-Japanese con-
vention was made public both at Toxic
and at Petrograd, it was rumored that
the convention had attached to 1t a set
of secret agreements. AS a matter Of
fact there is nothing secret about
these agreements, which will be made
public at the proper moment.
Their substance may be summarized
as follows:
Q Russia cedes to Japan the
Changchun- -Taolaishao section (about
rs miles) Of the Changchun-Harbi
branch Of the Manchurian railway. For
this Japan pays Russia about 100000
in war supplies.
(2) Russia, with the consent Of China,
extends to Japan the privilege Of nav
igating the Second Sungari River.
OF the two terms, the first is the
more important. It will be recalled
mouth, Japan insisted upon securing
the Russian railway from Port Arthur
to Harbin, measuring some 576 miles.
Russia, however, strenuously opposed
the Japanese demand, and agreed to
cede only 1853 miles between Port Ar
thur and Changchun. Japan has ever
since been coveting the remaining 140
miles from Changchun to Hardin, for
that section Of the line traverses the
heart Of a rich agricultural country
producing enormous quantities of
beans, Manchuria's premier product.
No less important is the newly ac
quired privilege of navigating the Sec
ond Sungari River In virtue of the
Aigun treaty of 1858, Russia has hither-
to enjoyed the exclusive right to nav

CARE OF THE BABY.
Birth Registration Of the Greatest I'm.
p~ortanee.

Has the birth Of your baby been
registered? II not, you should see to
Il that this duty is performed without
delay. It may some time be OF the
greatest Importance to your child that
there be In existence an accurate le-
gal record OF his birth. date, place and
p%arentage. Such a record serves q
establish his age beyond question,
and through this his right to the le.
sal period OF schooling and freedom
from labor. It may rso serve to es.
tablish his right to a disputed inner.
ltance and to establish for him va.
rious property or other legal rights
which may be In dispute. There are
numerous instances where the lack OF
this sort OF record has been the cause
Of serious losses Of inheritance and Of
educational and other rights.
In New York City In 1913 the birth
records helped to enforce the personal
or property rights Of more than 1885,

ed. parents should investigate to see
whether It has been done properly In
the case Of their children.
The complete registering Of all
births is Indispensable, not only to the
individual. but TO the state and the
nation.
The federal government can and
does tell as exactly how great Is the
accession TO our population each year
by immigration inspectors record each
arrival and tell as his or her nation

much money each one brings But the
federal government can not go into

This work must he done by each state
separately We have no national
records to give our s]anitarians and
students a basis for their preventive
studies. Congress by resolution has
urged the states TO enact and enforce
suitable registration Legislation. Tht
state governments must now act.
Most OF the states now have AIDE
quate laws: their enforcement, how
ever. depends to a large extent upon
popular support. This support is as
