GOOD ROADS AND THE FARMEl

GOOD ROADS AND THE FARMER
Probably no one doubts the value
OF good roads. but concrete example
OF dollars saved by better highways
was given by a speaker before the
Portland Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently. This man gave the follow
ing illustration:
"A farmer living about mile from
the depot at Gresham on the road
between that place and Portland had
10 tons Of potatoes to ship to COM
mission merchant in this city. the
product Of two acres Of ground. It
would cost him at least 75 cents a
ton to haul them from his farm to
the Gresham depot; $3.50 ton is
the freight rate by railroad from
Gresham to Portland, and rs cents
. ton carriage rate from the depot in
Portland to the commission house.
In other words, the cost per ton be-
fore hard surface roads we're con-
structed was SO.
Now automobile trucks ply regu-
larly between Gresham and and Port
land, back up to the farmers gate
and take on his potatoes and haul
them to the commission house at 81
a ton. The potatoes are handled
twice instead Of four or five times
and the saving is 81 a ton, or $40 an
acre a year.
This is an actual case OF what
happened the present year. and the
farmer who told me the facts said
that II was putting 1t conservatively
to say that every farmer within a
mile OF the road on either side could
easily save SO an acre year in man.
aging his place by having hard sur.
face highway.
THE saving on berries and perish.
able products is even greater because
the smoothness OF the highway and
saving in number Of landings make
a great difference in the value OF the
product when 1t reaches either the
market or the cannery."

3 DAYS COMPLETE

| London, Mar, l6,--. Russia has
stepped from Archaic autocracy to
ultra modern democracy In three

bounded today, Russia's spectacular
casting OF OF the old man OF the sea.
who undeniabiy had gravely imperil-
ed tho wars success, was hailed as an
epochal event
But the feeling OF satisfaction was
even deeper when Il was considered
that Russia hereafter will be ami
mated by the same Ideals az her al
lies.
RGssia's alliance heretofore was an
incongruity, II was impossible that
there should be an effective alliance
between the autocracy OF Russia. ON
the one hand. and the democracy Of
France, OF England and Of all the
other entente powers. on the other,
That alliance will hereafter be ce.
mented by the powerful strength OF
complete democracy OF all peoples
concerned.
One feature Of the revolt. indicat-
ing the widespread nature Of the
movement and the complete popular
dissatisfaction OF the Russian people
Sith the old regime, was comparative
smoothness and the minimum loss OF
life with which the nation made n
leap over three centuries OF despot-
ism to popular control In three days,
The latest Information obtainable
here today from various Russian
sources was that the duma, army. the
navy and the people were united
against that element OF Russia which
even n II were not thoroughly pro-
German was at least inefiicient and
corrupt.
The revolution had long been ex-
pected here. The announcement OF
it's actual elimination caused no sur
prise. especially In view Of the fact
that communication had been sus-
pended between Petrograd and Lon
don since Monday. There was only
astonishment that the revolters had
succeeded 50 quickly. Entente heads
were pleased at evidences OF enthu-
siastic support OF the new government
by the people OF Moscow and other
large centers. no less than from the
country districts.
Every confidence was expressed IN
British circles that the control by
the people means more active and
more efficient prosecution OF the war
than had ever been possible under
the old regime. II was believed that
the new order may. perhaps. be the
very step needed to turn the scale OF
victory to the allies.

The spring starts out with a grei

The spring starts out with a great
deal OF building, both OF residences
and Of business property, under way
in Grants Pass. The great activity in
the mining districts, supplemented
with the incentive to more extensive
agricultural production through the
cultivation OF sugar beets is respon-
sible for this building spurt. The fact
that all buildings OF the city, bus
iness or residential, are filled, and
more needed, makes the construction
Of the new ones imperative. It is
only case Of meeting the demand.

ESQ. W. L. Gamer and others
interested in a stock law for Weak
ley county, were in Dreaden last
Monday in behalf of the coming
stock law election to be held on
Saturday, March 81.
Those faYoring the stock law
proposition, which would prohibit
all kinds of stock from running at
large, are quite active and will be
until the election. 1t ls claimed,
and perhaps with some degree Of
correctness, that many who have
heretofore opposed a stock law for
Weakley county are now in favor
Of it, while those who oppose it
claim there has been but little
change. This is a question con-
corning farmers and owners of
farm lands, and will not be gener-
ally voted upon bv citizens Of the
incorporated towns.
1t is understood that if MAORI
ty vote in favor of the law the
same will not become effective I'M

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or calIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by q Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
FTeezone dries the moment it is ap.
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal.
lus without infaming or even Irritating
the surrounding tissue Or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but win posi-
lively rid ones feet Of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't 7ezone he can get
ii at any wholesale drug house for you,
