GOOD ROADS SAVE MONEY FOR
FARMERS.

Good roads mean bigger loads, fewer
and quicker trips, less wear upon the
team, wagon and harness and less Labor;
and, as consequence, the farmers will,
with good roads, be enabled to market
Their crops great deal more economical
ly and at times when work cannot be
done upon the farm. Rainy weather
makes no difference to farmer in the
marketing of his crops if his farm is near
a good road. There is demand, the
year round for his products in the city
markets, but, without good roads, per-
ishable stuffs, such As vegetables and
fruits can only be hauled certain dis
lance, and, owing to the cost of hauling,
cannot be delivered in competition with
the same products raised and hauled on
good roads. The increase in products
raised and hauled on good roads. The
increase in products which can be raised
on a farm and marketed on good roads,
and the decreased cost of production and
delivering such products, will, naturally,
increase the value of farm lands. This
will be added to by the demand of these
lands from a large part of our indus
trial population, who can live we'll out
in the country and at the same time at
tend to their duties in the city. With I
the building of good roads will also come |
he cultivation of thousands of acres Of |
and, which otherwise, by reason Of dis
ance, would remain unproductive
The State of Louisiana is particular
blessed by having within the borders Of
he State, enormous beds OF first-class
.ravel, which has already been demon
t-ated 70 be the highest class Of mater
ii for road construction, and. besides, the
typography Of the State is such that I

CAPT. E. z. STEEVER.

The fact that Capt. E. q. Steever U.
S. A.. has been detailed with the High
School Cadets here by the War Depart
ment has brought forth many express
sions of pleasure from school officials.
The detail also has come as surprise
to them. for. although theye had asked
about two years ago for the detail of
an army officer, they had received no
intimation that the request was to be
granted.
If Capt. Steever is able to give his
entire time to the cadets, as the order
detailing him here has been interpreted
by many. it will mean much for the
cadet work of Washington, say the Of
ficials.
Capt. Steever was lieutenant in the
army when he was here last year, hav-
ing been promoted to the rank of cap

marked attention when he worked with

there brought him reputation which
