Farmer of Indian-Chinese Extraction Offers Dowry For Daughter. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., July 23. David Toulee, a successful market gardener and hunter of Alfalfa, Is reported here to bo offering special Inducements in order to procure a white husband for his daughter. Forty acres of choice farm land, $500 In cash and a nice band of horsea are the dowry which awaits the fortunate suitor, the conditions imposed being merely that the man be of white blood, Toulee Is one of tho interesting characters of the valley. He is of Indian-Chinese extraction, and has made tho qualities begotten of both lines of ancestors prove of advantage to him. In the spring of the year when the vegetation Js tho great feature of this country his Inherited skill as a market gardener shows lt aolf, and ho Is usually tho first to market tho greens and vegetables. Throughout tho summer he works a a tijler of tho soil, and as a farm er reaps good profits on his land When winter conies and there is no more farming to be done his Indian nature asserts itself and there is no hunter more wily or tireloss, more patient or successful. ' Home Trade Homilies. It's all very well for you to think you're doing yourself justice by buying your supplies from the big city many miles away, but In the long run you're doing an injustice to your descendants, who are supposed to live in the town which1 you aro killing off by neglecting to patronise home Industries. TW may save an occasional nickel by ordering "bargains" through mall order catalogues, but don't you lose at least o nickel's worth of your self respect when you happen to meet one of the homo merchants whom you have; known all your life and from whom you could have bought the same bar gain? Governor Johnson says one of the great issues of today has to do with tho curbing of the trusts. The chances are ninety-nine to a hundred that you agree with Johnson, no matter what party you may belong to. Very, well. How about tho big mall order trust, which Is organized to kill off country, merchants Are you a supporter of the mall order' trust? If; you are a farmer and sell your produce to the local stores and then stick stamps on letters ordering ordi nary household articles from a city many miles away, wouldn't you think It the proper sort of reciprocity If the town merchants should quit dealing in fresh vegetables and Biipply only can ned goods to their customers? Throughout tho country for some months we have heard the cry that "there is no money in circulation." Times have been tight. Feople who Veep up tho habit of buying mall order goodB on the slightest pretext or provo cation may expect to hear It said that there Is no money In circulation around home. 'Cause why? They send it out side of the community. 1 Tree Planting Along Roads. The Stockton (Cal.) Arbor club has commenced an active campaign to rulse funds for tho purpose of saving the fourteen miles of trees planted along four roads leading out of Stock ton. The scarcity of moisture this season makes it necessary that the trees be wateied several times, and.ad dIMonal funds are necessary to carry the many fine trees that have been growing through tho summer. It Is also the intention of the Arbor club to later extend the tree planting on the four roada already lined with trees. Officers of tho organization hope be fore many years to have the main thoroughfares leading to Stockton nice shady lanes. FESST 6 iS OFF BOARDS WITH FORMER WIFE AND HIS SUCCESSOR Woman Says lie Eats at tho Fam ily Table, Pays Up and Acts Like Any Other Hoarder. DETROIT, July 23. William Na varro, whoso arm In a sling has boon of great aid to him in tho streets In offering shoo laces and pencils for sale, was taken to the police station, when It was learned that tho sup posed mendicant was boarding nt tho house of tho woman from whom ho was divorced last fall. The police found $72S in the man's pockets. Navarro's former wife called on Supt. Downey for a permit to see him in his cell. "Doesn't your husband object to his presence in the house?" she was asked. "Not in the least," sho replied. "They eat at tho samo table; he pays his board and acts like a boarder should, and my husband is satisfied; so why should any one make a fuss?" Mrs. Helsncr appeared to know all about her first husband's financial af fairs and roadiJy told of his hoard. "He broko his arm by falling off the roof of the Packard Automobile Works last October," sho explained. "His arm did not heal quickly and he started out selling shoo laces and pencils. I helped him count his col lections a,nd know that he had more than $700 last Friday night." A Bank President. Mrs. Jennie P. Miller Is the president of a state bank in Nebraska, of which her son is vice president. Mrs. Mil ler's husband had been the president of the Institution!, and upon his death last fall she was'promoted by the board of directors from"the vice presidency to the chief office. She Expected Visitors. Mr. Subbubs Do you expect any vis itors tonight, my dear? Mrs. Subbubs Well, considering that Bridget's go ing to leave, Willie's got the measles, the cellar Is flooded and the grocer hasn't called for two dhys yes, I do. Ally Siopefs Half Holiday. According to an exchange, most trav elers In Egypt are emphatically of the opinion that the quaintest sign in all that .land 'of wonderful and curious sights is this rare, unique notice which Is posted outside of one of the royal scpulchers near Luxor, on the banks of the Nile: "This tomb Is especially re served .for luncheons!" t n . It is not unusual for women's feet to be human ''barometers, but there is said to be a woman in Europe whose hair serves the samo purpose. Her red locks turn black at the approach of bad 'weather and only consent to glow when the day Is fair. Eating House Language. It takes. tho frequenter of New York's cheap restaurants quite awhile to be come familiar with the lunguago' in which his orders for cdlbies are trans mitted to the cook, ne soon learns that "Beef undi" rai'aua beef and beans; and that "nam and!" refers to ham with the same nutritious vegeta ble. Before long he grasps the fact that "Draw one!" is au order for coffee. "Draw one In the dark!" meaning black coffee; that "Brown the wheats!" Is the correct command for buckwheat cakes, and that "Ila'sh In the steamer!" Is the open sesamo to the supply of corned beef hash. ' Perhaps you 'may know eggs, fried on'jQue side, .are orde'rel In Bowery eating housesas "Whltewlngs, sunny side up!" Recently a '-visitor ordered fried "eggs apd "gasped' half a minute before he could answer the durky waiter's polite query: Yes, sir. ' Will yo' hab dem blind or lookin' at yo'?"

CAUSE OFBAD RDADS, Businesslike Methods Not Used In Highway Construction. THE RIGHT SYSTEM LACKING. Road Bosses Should De Removed Fram Politics and Made to Pass an Ex amination Showing Their Efficiency. Change Needed In Road Laws. A back number tho bad country road is a back number, it is us much out of place and date as the grain cra dle or flail thrasher. They hud bud roads away back lu grandfather's time ever since people began to travel, to haul stuff In modern narrow tlivd wagons. They had good roads away I back In Caesar's time in the old worlJ. What progress have we iiiiule In road building? Very little. Oxer three fourths or all the miles of country roads In tho midxvesl are tlll unim proved, says the Ag.'lctiltuinl South west. In most states i)0 per cent xvould be more nearly correct. Of course ex-cry bit of road gets Its anmu'.l tear ing up by the road oillclals, who druw a salary for calling it road "Improve ment." Why is It thus? Them's a rcabon why country roads ate bad. Ci:u't lay it to the weather or the road mateilal either. As one farmer says, "I have seen In twenty-three years hundreds of thousands of dollars of tuxpiij era' money expended on the roads iu town and country; but, after all, our roads are still as bad as ever." As bad as ever! What a comment to make upou the appearance of country homes had it been said that the farms had not been Improved iii twenty-three years! But, no; the fnrms have Improved, the towns haxe groxvn. and bit itieas places nre better tliau they xvcru ixvuity thrce years ago, but the country roads are "as bad as ever" after spending fortunes upon them. Tho reason is tlds road building i.i not done In the same businesslike manner as other things are !ii.nui;ed We have seen the creamery coimc into existence. Wo have seen the skilled buttermaiccr turning out carloads of butter liner than that made by the farmers before tho creameries took the Job off their hands. Seleuea and business methods have made the change In buttcrmaking. But the roads are "as bad as ever" because It Is a farmer's job. to be done when It suits his convenience, It is done lyj men who have never studied the sci ence of road building. It is done Ina hit and miss method devoid of business principles. This is xvhy hundreds of thousands of the taxpayers' money hare failed to make the roads uny better. And ngaiu we say it Is not because- of bad weather or poor road building material. Tho buttermaker takes bad cream and makes pretty good butter from it because be knows how. Of course he could do better with .good cream. Likewise the skilled road builder can make good roads out of just plain country dirt because ho knows how. Of course he could do better with crushed rock and all of that. It is not a scarcity of money or of material, but a lack of the rlrht sys tem, that is responsible for bad roada. Dollar for dollar what xve xvant to see Is a dollar's worth of good roads for a dollar spent In rood tax. And why not have It? Isn't It about time to quit pouring money Into n mud hole? Most roads could have been nicely paved xvith the dollars they have cost since first laid out. Where has that money gone? Don't cry "graft." Of course there has been too much politics ah, polities; there's the rub but there has been no political graft to speak of in connection with country roads. The trouble Is the sys tem Is and has been xvroug. Road building is for the public good, Jus,t ns mnil carrying is. The mall carriers are under civil service, out of politics entirely. They nre paid for knowing their business. They must give a dol lar's worth of service for a dollar In pay. Why not handle the road prob lem that way? Remove tho road boss from politics and make him pass an examination showing his efficiency. Keep him just no loug,AB ho doe3 his work well. Then ypu will see good dirt roads wherever .there Is nothing bettor. Enough "money will soon bo saved In road tax! to macadamize every mile of the main .traveled country roads. t A farmer would b'e' foolish to go ahead xvith a large Job of tiling xvith out having tho whole thing mapped out and levels established by some one capable of doing It. Then he would be equally foolish should he not study the capacity of tile needed to drain tho area Intended. It Is good business sense for him to hire a competent sur veyor or ditcher. Just one tile put In xvrong will ruin the whole plan of drainage. But that samo fanner will pay money every year in road tax and let men who know notldng about road building squander the money. It is time this foolishness was stopped. It xxill be stopped when the farmers wno pay the money and who use the roads get together nnd demand a change of system, demand that it be eliminated from politics, demand that tho toad laxvs bo changed from nnti quoted forms to Euit the needs of a progressive age of business cense. Good Road Requisites. D. Ward King, the original road drag man. Bays there nre three requi sites for a good road It must he oval, hard and smooth, because nil three of there conditions arc necessary to se cure drainage. Without drainage the best road moon goes to pieces.
