Mr.. Smith of st. Adams city, with
an expressed desire to expedite bust
ness, moved to amende Rule Al so that
no bill or resolution could be consid-
cred except such as came within the
scope of the governors message. Mr..
Smith of Barre city thought the men
at the front ought to have the right
to vote there and feared the proposed
rule would prevent action on this sub
ject.
Mr.. Smith of st. Adams city thought
the rule would not precent such ac-
ton, but said in any event the rules

cy. Today few men realize that the
tractor is slowly taking the place of
the horse for all manner of farm
work, 1t is replacing the horse for
the same reason that the horse re-
placed the slave-it is more eff
Gent"
The advent of the tractor, believes
Mr.. Sanders, means there must be
some changes in the methods of agri-
culture just as the working of horses
has meant changes in methods since
the work was done by slaves. Next
spring at least three traction compan-
les will place upon the market en-
gines designed especially for the cul-
tivation of row crops. This is an
indication Of the trend of progress in
the manufacture of tractors.

After the War" in the Chicago Amel

After the War;" in the Chicago Amer
lean says:
IT believe that the railroads will
have more freight and passenger
business than they can handle, steam
boats will have more tonnage than
ever before, steel, wooden and cotton
mills and saw mills and manufacture
ers will be running night and day and
real estate and building operations
will be on the most extensive scale
ever known. At the world-war's end
every belligerent country will be con-
fronted with the greatest demand for
the products of the soil, loom, mill
and factory. They will buy where
they can get the goods quickest, and
that market is America"
And steel stock persists in going
up.

ingratitude in some big business in

OUR COUNTRY'S FICTITIOUS

Kinley's Comptroller of the Currency
President, in its published report fol
September, reports:
For 1915-1916 exports greater;
imports greater; balance Of trade in
our favor, $219,000,00O. Merchant
shipping makes new record; tonnage
of American ships three times that OF
1914. Financing by corporations
more than doubled. Gross net earn
ings of railroads greatly increased; ;
idle cars August LIST, 1000, against
265,000 year ago.
Frank Carter, vice president Of the
Mercantile Trust Company of st.
Louis, says:
One Of the best reasons that know
for saying that Woodrow Wilson de-
serves to be reelected is the unusual
condition in banking circles, in that
there is no attention being paid to
the election when extending credits,
as has been the case in all previous
presidential years. For a friend in
Boston I called up three of the big
gest companies in st. Louis to give
them big order in the steel business
and each one told me they had 80
much on hand it was impossible to
take on any new business"

TRACTORS VS.. HORSES

The tractor can completely sup
plant the horse for all work on the
farm only when the farmer ceases to
think of work in terms of horses and
begins to think of it in terms of en-
gines, in the opinion of w. H. San
ders, instructor in farm motors in the
agricultural college. II the farmer
demands it the designing engineer
will construct engines to every task
which the horse does today.
"Just as horse power in the past
has supplanted the man with the hoe
so in the future the tractor will sup
plant the horse" says Mr.. Sanders

that by using horse drawn machines
he could greatly increase his efficien-

MANY IN LIBERAL TRY SIMPLE
MIXTURE

Many Liberal people are surprised
at the QUICK action Of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, ETC., as mixed
in Adler-i-ka. This simple remedy
acts on BOTH upper and lower bow
ell, removing such surprising foul
matter that ONE SPOONFUL relieves
almost ANY CASE constipation, sour
stomach or gas. A few doses often
relieve or prevent appendicitis. A
short treatment helps chronic stom-
ach trouble. The INSTANT, easy ac-
ton Of Alder-i-ka is astonishing.

County Engineer Says Scattering the
Work Does Not Get Good Roads
That tie present system Of permit
dng townships to expend 100000 .
year In constructing township roads Is
a poor system when the results are
taken into consideration is the declara-
ton Of County Engineer J. W. Strack
and Chief Deputy G. A. McClung Of
Spokane. Wash. in a report on road
conditions for the year recently com
rleted.
The report In part says:
Spokane county has fifty town
| ships, each with its set Of officials.
who have absolute charge Of all road
work In their respective townships. ex-
cept In the case OF state and perma-
nent highways. They decide on all pc
titions for new roads or for the vaca-
ton Of old ones. While the county en-
gineer is required to survey and report
on these changes. the townships are
not required to act according to his
recommendations and frequently disre-
gard them.
These townships levy over $780,
600 year for road purposes. which Is
all used for maintaining old roads and
building new, with what average sue
cess the automobile user can testify.
The majority of the township super
visors act to the best of their knowl-
edge. But under the old system Of
electing them every year good off,
cial was scarcely broken into the du-
ties Of his Office before his term ex-
pired and a new man had to take up
the work
MANY Of the townships have got
value received for their money. but
some Of them have fallen a long way
short
Under this head the townships grad
ed fifty miles Of road in 1915. OF which
3.5 miles were graveled. and the coun-
ty engineers office surveyed 64.S9 miles
of new road and vacations. The fig-
ures for roads built by townships are
low for the reason that many. of the
townships neither call on this Office
for stakes nor report work done by
them
Roads on which the expenditure In
too great for the townships to handle
are built with county aid on order Of
the county commissioners. Under this
law the commissioners aided In the
construction Of approximately ten miles
Of the above mentioned fifty miles,"
