GOOD ROADS INDISPENSABLE
Highway improvement is a Business
Proposition With Farmer and
City Dweller.

When It takes four horses to pull
an empty wagon.to town and wheat is
going Off in price each day; when the
mail carrier gives up In despair, and
the children cannot get to school, the
farmer cannot help wondering how
much this condition is costing him
each day.
Figure as he may, he cannot get
away from the fact that good roads
are indispensable to agricultural pros
perity.
The city dweller is alike concerned.
The farm on n good road has scores
OF possibilities for the development OF
Its resources to every one open to the
farm ON poor road Increased ex-
pendltures-greater buying powers.
In the early days Of poverty many n
county bonded itself for hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to secure rail-
roads to promote agricultural develop
ment. Three-fourths OF all the freight
the railroads haul must sooner or later
move over the public highways, and
every ton so moved is costing ut an
average rate Of % cents per mile.
Verify, road improvement is a busi-
ness proposition--a matter of dollars
and cents.

the axe with one hand, he managed to
cut through the rubber hose on the
air connection.
After accomplishing this. axe In
hand. he leaped down TO the narrow
ledge formed by the bumper In front
of the caboose-drivlng his face into
the front Of the caboose: and he only
grasped the steel rod leading from
the brake-chains to the wheel on the
roof In time to avoid falling half
stunned between the front OF the ca
boose and the rest OF the logging
truck. The caboose had once been a
box car; hence there was no rallied
front platform to which Bryce might
have leaped In safety. Clinging peril
ously on the bumper, he reached with
his foot, got his toe under the lever
on the side, jerked II upward, and
threw the pin out of the coupling !;
then with his free hand he swung the
axe and drove the great steel Jaws OF
the coupling apart
The caboose was cut outl But al
ready the deadly curve was in sight I:
In two minutes the first truck would
reach II; and the caboose, though cut
loose, had to be stopped, else with the
headway II had gathered, It, too, would
follow the logging trucks TO glory.
For a moment Bryce clung to the
brake-rod, weak and dizzy from the
effects of the blow when, leaping down
from the loaded truck to the caboose
bumper. his face had smashed into
the front of the caboose. His chin
was bruised. skinned. and bloody; his
nose had been broken, and twin rlvu-
lets of blood ran from his nostIfls. He
wiped II away, swung his axe, drove
the blade deep into the bumper and
left il there with the haft quiverlng;
turning, he climbed swiftly up the
narrow Iron ladder beside the brake
rod until he reached the roof; then,
still standing on the ladder, he
reached the brake-wheel and drew
IL promptly but gradually around
until the wheel-blocSs began to
bite, when he exerted his tre-
mendous strength TO the utmost
and with his knees braced doggedly
against the front of the caboose, held
the wheel.
The brake screamed. but the speed
of the caboose was not appreciably
slackened. tits had too good a start I"
Bryce moaned. 'The momentum Is
