MUTUAL ADVANTAGES.

There is an advantage to cities
from good roads leading into them
which is material in results but in
tangible in determination. Thous-
ands of dollars in trade are lost to
city merchants every year, especial
ly at the holiday season, because the
roads leading into the cities are in
rural districts can not reach the
trade centers without hardships.
They resort to mail order purchases
because the order may be sent from
the gate by the rural carrier and
the purchase delivered in the same
manner. Until merchants waken up
to the significance of this condition,
mail order houses will flourish like
the green bay tree. 1t is "a we'll
known fact that every mail order
concern in the country, is bitterly
hostile to hard surfaced roads. The
reason is apparent. They have an
alyzed the situation and understand
what such roads mean to their pros
perity. This loss of trade to home
merchants because of bad roads is
well known but intangible.
When a method is devised. by
which an equitable division OF the
cost of good roads may be made be-
tween city and rural communities comm tic S
hostility of the rural communities to
the expense of hard roads construc-
ton will disappear and the two in
terested elements will be found
working hand in hand for common

makers who would provide the state
with a system of roads that will
serve this and coming generations at
the least wastage of the public
funds.-Sioux City Journal.

Friends in this city were deeply
grieved to learn Of the death Of Miss

falls on the 21st. Normally this
period would end about the. 21st, but
long storminess at this time.
In many respects this period Is
likely to be somewhat like the last

A regular storm period runs from

the 25th. Moon is at apOgee or far

The Venus period is still in full
force, and q Vulcan center falls on
the 25th. Venus and Uranus are in
conjunction the Goth.
AS early as the oath, temperatures
will rise and barometer will fall in
western sections, and storm areas
will form and start eastward. AS
these areas cross the country, storms
of rain and snow will strike in
many parts, possibly with thunder
and lightning, at least southwark.
Western sections will feel these
storms about the oath, central parts
about the 26th or 9th and eastern
parts about the 2Sth or 29th. We
believe that the hardest storms of
this period will strike west of the
Mississippi valley. Look for cold
clearing weather following closely
after these storms. The Jupiter
period is only a few days ahead, and
Jupiter gets a chance only once in
about six years--don't blame him if
he does it up brown when he gets a
chance. His influence will no doubt
be felt during this and the next two
