BIG GOOD ROADS DIVIDENDS
Motorists of Massachusetts Spent $25,- 100000 Last Season, as Result
 of Good Roads.

Motorists spent $25, 100000 in Massa- chusetts last season, largely as re- suit of the good roads of that state. Rather a fine dividend!
 Great progress has been made in 1m- proving the roads in Minnesota, but there are communities which as yet, apparently, see but one side to the good roads question, and that is, cap ital going out and no dividends con- ing back. While the returns from motor travel are indirect, neverthe- less they are certain. It is obvious that any town is at least indirectly benefited by having such good roads that motorists delight in making 1t an objective on their weekend tours.
 Any district that has bad roads be- comes just as we'll known, but of course adversely. Unfortunately, too many specific cases might be given Minneapolis Journal.

HAULING CROPS TO MARKET
Average Farmer Must Haul His Prod. ucts Six and One-Half Miles
 Other Points.

How far must the average farmer in the United States haul his crop to market? Exactly six and a half miles, it can be answered, for the bu- reau of crop estimates of the depart ment of agriculture has completed an inquiry into the whole matter of farm hauling throughout the country. h. cidentally, the results of the inquiry show that if only one wagon were available to haul crops it would re- quire about 15,747,OOO days for it to complete the job for only the mar keted portion of three most prominent farm products-wheat, corn and cot ton.
 The investigation shows that it re- quires about half day for the aver age farmer to make a round trip to market, and about two-thirds of a day on the average for the farmers farth- est from market to make a similar trip. That market distances are grow ing shorter is shown by the fact that in 1906 it required almost 50 per cent more time for the average round trip. One reason for the improved condi- tions, it is pointed out, is that since 1906 the steam railroad mileage in the United States has increased 15 per cent and that many new freight-car- rying electric lines have been built.
 Another point brought out by the inquiry is that there has been marked improvement in public roads since the

bureaus investigations in 1906, for the size of the average load hauled has nearly doubled since then. A days haul of wheat in 1906 was 56 bushels i; now it is 112 bushels. In 1906 HOO pounds of cotton was hauled in day; now the average daily haul Is 5000 pounds.
 The inquiry developed the fact that the loads hauled in the cotton country are the smallest but the most valu- able. Thus the average value of load of cotton was found to be $1S3, wheat $43 and corn $2S. The longest hauls were found to be in the Rocky mountain states, where Nevada holds the record with an average haul for all farmers of IS miles. The shortest hauls were shown to be in the middle West, Ohio at the bottom of the list with four miles.

Cardiff Is Prosperous.

Cardiff, Wales, has become known as the Pittsburgh of the British Isles. Like the American city, the coal mines are largely responsible for it's boom, al- though shipping has played no small part. Some men who were shipping clerks two years ago now own a string of ships and coal miners are making $10O a week.
 Just to show that it has made a lot of money, Cardiff invested $15O,OOO,OOO in the last British war loan. This works out at the rate of more than $75O head of the population and is the most remarkable of all the contribu- tions that came from any one city in the British Isles.
