ooh yes" you say. good roads are
all right, but they are so extensive
we can't afford them" Can't afford
them2 Great Scott. man. good roads
aren't really going to cost yon any
thing, on the contrary they will save
you money and lots or It. What YOU
really can't afford is to tolerate bad
roads a day longer. Don't fool your
self with the idea that because a road
is unimproved it is not costing you
money. To keep a mud road in even
passable condition requires contin-
ual expense and attention, while the
first rainy spell in the fall will sweep
away the result of a whole summers
labor. "The farmer works from sun
TO sun, but work on a mud road Is
never done" In the County OF Sus-
sex during the last ten years 100000
has been expended on road mainte-
nance, most of which has been worse
than wasted on mud roads, while the
total for last year alone was $4,000.
This Is the tribute we pay annually TO
cold Mud King" and still some peo-
pie say we can't AFFORD good roads.
Mr.. Farmer stop and think OF the
times you have been prevented from
going to market when prices were
good. Stop and think Of the back
breaking hours wasted In dragging a
small load through the mud and sand
with your team straining their hearts
out and pulling the wagon and har-
ness to pieces. Hours which could
! have been very proftably spent else
where. Stop and think Of the hours
that could have been spent in hauling
manure and fertilizer to your farm
when weather conditions were such
as to prevent other work, If only the
weather and the roads had not been
of the same quality. Stop and think
of all this, and then ask yourself fair
~ and squarely whether you can
longer AFFORD to be without good
road.
Mr.. Cityman. you complain Of the
high cost Of living. Homegrown
products are the best and cheapest
you can buy. and a system of good
roads leading out into the country,
which will permit of a steady and
uniform supply of these products,
means dollars and cents to you.
Mr.. Business Man. your prosperity
hdepends largely upon securing and
holding the trade Of the people Of
your own county. Your competitors
in the surrounding counties are look
ing with covetous eyes at the high
/ class. substantial trade Of Sussex
County and are planning to secure the
prize. How are they doing this? BY
building good roads which will en-
able our farmers to travel TO their
places OF business easier and quicker
than they can through the mud to
yours.
Granting the foregoing" you say
"still good roads will increase the
value OF my land, and consequently
my road tax, without making my land
produce more for me-" Certainly good
roads will increase the value Of youi
land, for who wouldn't pay more FOL
a farm on a good road than on a muS
road. An increase in value OF Sl.2O
per farm is sufficient TO pay the road
tax resulting from a 100000 bono

WASHBURN STORES MAKE
MANY GOOD IMPROVEMENTS

The quiet time this winter has been
used to good advantage in the stores
of Washburn.
The whole interior of the A. Schulz
& Sons store was given two coats of
white paint and a number of shelves
remodeled. 1t makes the store con-
siderably lighter and adds greatly to
its general appearance.
The Mangan, Confectionery store
had all the shelves torn down and
more artistic ones put up. All were
given coat of varnish making the
store look very up-to-date.
The Holtan Mercantile store is
having an Office put in half story
above the floor in the back of the
store. This will give more ground
space for the big stock of goods car
ried.
All these improvements help the
stores and the town and show a mark
of prosperity. .- -, E

pointed out, they are generally less
desirable than those prepared from
fresh peas and beans. Furthermore
If the consumer desires the dried pro.
duct it is much cheaper to buy the
dried peas and beans directly from
the grocer and soak them at home.
In this way the same article is served
at a much less cost.
The Food and Drugs Act does not
prohibit the sale in interstate or for.
eign commerce of canned soaked
peas and beans, provided the label
on the cans indicates plainly and
conspicuously that the contents are
made from the soaked, dried product.
Consumers can learn by carefully
reading labels whether they are get.

the dried or from the fresh peas and

1ncrCia1 Club
Banquet Held and Review of Work
Done During the Past year Told
BY Members

After the tables had been cleared, H.
J. Tillapaugh, acting as toastmaster, in
a few well chosen words told of the
work Of the old commercial club and
how necessary commercial ,organiza-
ton is to a city. He told of the form
ing of the Velva Civic League one
year ago; which took over the work
of the old commercial club His re,
marks relative to our national flag
drew forth hearty and enthusiastic
applause. He then introduced the
speakers as they appeared on the
menu card.
President Welo in his remarks re-
viewed the work that had been done
during the year. He spoke of the
campaign to raise the promised dona-
tion. for Northwestern College and
said that Velva was now ready to
fulfill its promise in this matter as
soon as the college board was ready
to do business He told Of the work
done the past year on the roads. The
road three miles north of the city has
been put In excellent condition thru
the cooperation of the League, the
township and the county: AS soon as
spring opens up the road south Of the
city will be put In as good condition.
Work on this piece of road was start
ed last, fall. He expressed the hope
that in time all the main roads lead
ing into the city would be graveled.
Mr.. Berg pointed out the earmarks
noticed by people not living here,
showing that Velva is q good town.
He said that one of those earmarks
is its, newspaper and another is the
fact that Velva has always had a live
commercial organization, ready to
take advantage Of the opportunities
as they presented themselves. = ..si
Attorney Lee in his address on
Live Ones'' said that velya is a live
town because the people are alive and
are up and doing when there is work

The annual business meeting of the
League was held at the close Of the
banquet. Reports Of the secretary

where do, human beings puzzle their
brains over this fact more than when
the hens begin their yearly holiday.
This vacation ii stechnic lly called tho
"molting season. It begins during
the late summer. The hens stop lay
ing, and change their suits of feath.
ers for new ones. Usually they CON
sumo three or four 81 months in the
process. Most Of US know this per
fectly well, but are apt to overlook
the fact that very important feat
ure Of the Noting period is that egg
laying stops. We are unreasonabl
and expect the hens to- lay all the
time. When the hens take this va
cation new-laid fresh eggs are scarce
and remain scarce until the pullets
hatched during the proceeding spring
begin to lay. Il 4 4 n

means that alltfhatc tching must be over
