to those who can select and

The Persian prayer rug,
as is well known, is becom-

cured several handsome
specimens of them.
Genuine antique Oriental
rugs are vanishing, as may
be easily realized. but here
antiques are to be found
that can be vouched for.
Our stocks have recently
been enriched by a group Of
Saruks and Chinese carpets
that is extremely interest

offered at the new low
prices.
Unusual sizes can be OBJ

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD ROADS
Most Towns Recognize Imperative
Z Need Of Improved Highways TO
Secure Farm Trade.

The country town that has poor
roads radiating from 1t is badly handi-
capped, just as the farmer is who has
to haul his products over such roads.
Most towns recognize this and try to
get their share of trade by making the
main thorougbfares navigable at all
times with tolerable loads. The town
that does not see the Importance of
good roads and the imperative need Of
making them passable to ordinary
traffic has need of the jolt that is not
generally long delayed.
We sometimes hear the expression,
"a poor trading place." and instantly
we know the meaning Of 1t. We at
once know 1t refers to town that has
fallen into a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep
and we are safe in assuming that such
a town lacks wideawake merchants
and the other necessary adjunct-good
roads.
When a farmer sells anything
whether 1t be his weekly batch of
produce or a load Of hogs or one of
wheat or corn he naturally considers
the difficulties of the haul. Other
things being equal, he chooses the
road with least hills; and II the road
of least resistance has we'll graded
and dragged highways, the town that
is handicapped with steep pulls and
poorly graded highways always is a
loser. 1t cannot be otherwise.
A cornbelt town exists. primarily,
by reason Of the farm trade. When
this reaches a volume that lines the
streets with farm teams any good day
except the busiest times of the year.
we can be reasonably certain that the
merchants and roads are both attrac.
tive. And the opposite can be inferred
when the streets are bare of farm
teams and cars.
Most towns recognize the value Of
good roads as trade getters. Some
times the topography of the country
makes good roads and gentle grades
difficult. When this Is the case, more
money is expended TO get results. And

Short and punoen..

Mr.. H. J. Jennings, once editor OF
the Birmingham Mall, claims to have
written the shortest dramatic criticism
ever penned Last night n play called
Pure as Snow was produced at the
Blank theater. 1t is not as pure as
snow" His assertion has been dis
puted, and correspondent attributes
the following very brief notice to an
American critic: "a play by Ulysses
81 was played last night, Heaven
VIII judge him." Equally pointed was
criticism which once appeared In a
Manchester Journal: Last night Mr..
VS. play was produced. Quite a

the cOrnbelt farmer is just as dis
eliminating now that the automobile
Is common on the farm. In fact he Is
more so. The matter of few miles
extra travel Is not of great moment.
As the car comes to be more and

Importance Of good roads comes to be
more clearly seen. The town has rec.
ognized II. In order to hold this In
creasing but vital trade the town must
bid In terms Of fair bargains and good
roads-and not least In smooth, allur-
Ing highways where few distractions
to fair speed are encountered.
Where the farmer buys his daily or
weekly supplies he generally buys his
larger items of machinery and farm
equipment. 1t is up to the town that
desires to live to recognize the prob
lem OF the good road. To ignore 1t is
to destroy the town. The farmer does
not travel the bad road except under
