Talks ati<l Suggestions for Improving
Public Highways.
"The highways of a country are
one of the surest guides to the de-
gree of the advancement and the de-
velopment of the economic and soj
da I life of a people. They have
been called the veins of a nation
through which surge the rich cor-
puscles of agricultural and commer-
cial productions Into all of its parts,
nourishing aud quickening them in
to Ife and activity."
It may be said that very many of
the important industries of the state
are dependent upon agriculture In
a large measure to supply the means
for their maintenance, and because
of this their activity is considerably
governed by the state of the roads.
Good roads are of interst not only
to rural carriers, but to the farmer,
merchant and manufacturer as well.
Good roads save wear and tear on
both horse and wagon.
They mean cheaper production,
and greater land values.
Market quotations are frequently
favorable when the roads are Im-
passable that It is a positive finan-
cial loss to the farmers.
Poor condition of the roads is re-
sponsible for a loss of millions of
dollars to the fanners of the United
States every year.
A split log drag used after every
rain will do wonders. Try it.
"Everybody's business Is nobody's
business" Is poor policy, neglecting
your part of the road means a loss,
not only to your neighbors, but
yuorself as well.
Poor construction means an eter-
nal drainage of funds for mainte-
nance.
Good roads are interest-beating
bonds to the farmer, because they
make cheaper transportation.
Unrle Sam wants to help you got
better roads. Write the II. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, office of
Road Inquiry, Washington. D. C. for
literature.
Drainage Is the key to success in
making earth roads.
Frequent Inspection and a little
work will keep the roads in good
condition with less cost than under
ordinary methods.
When you work on the road to
"get in your time" give It the same
consideration that you would in do-
ing your own farm work.

one of which the knife penetrated

MELISSA.
New York, Nov. 28.—A fine ot
$18,000 was imposed on the Amer-
ican Sugar Refining Company by
Judge Holt yesterday for accepting
rebates from the New York Rail:*..■. d
Company. The company was allow-
ed slxtxy days to prepare an appeal
The rebates amounted to $2(5,000.
Prior to imposition of the son-
„ tence, T. 1<. Mel lvalue of t he defend-
None of the committees ant>8 counHe| n ade a lengthy argu-
ment In support of hie motion for an
arrest of Judgment. He contended
that the contract made at the New-
York Central by Lowell M. Palmer,
through which the rebates were
granted It, is not to be held to be
binding criminally on the defendant.
Judge Holt, in the course of the dis-
cussion, observed that in his opin-
ion Mr. Palmer could, under the
Interstate Commerce act, as super-
ceded by the Elkins act, have been
indicted, tried and convicted for so-
liciting rebates. Under the former
enactment he would, on conviction,
have been Imprisoned, said Judge
Holt, while under the Elkins law
a fine only could be imposed.
