boards. This along the line of profit In the
way of pleasure they have suffered an
immeasurable loss. Because of poor
roads they have been more or less isolat
ed from the world and deprived of the
priceless advantages that come from as
sociation. The farmers ' sons, unable to
readily get to and from the villages,
have gone to the villages and oities to
remain. So have many of the daughters.
The lack of society has been a blight
upon rural life, robbing it of the flower
of its youth. The same would be true
of cities to a great degree if there were
no good means of getting about
The farmers are going to do better,
and the merchants in all the country
towns will, if they are at all wise,
gladly do their share toward making
good roads.

TO BEAUTIFY THE CITY.

Tiio stato of New Jersey is already fa

movement which tho ladies of several of
its most prosperous towns have inuugu
ruted for tho beautifying and improve-'
meut of their communities Keeps on
spreading it will soon be equally fa
tuous for the beauty of its towns. One
of the most recent moves in the direo
tion of town improvement was made in
New Brunswick, where Mrs. William
ton, wife of the mayor, was iustrunien
tal in forming a society composed of la
dies of the town, with the comnienda
ble object of giving to New Brunswick
clean streets, parks with trees in them
and a good many other things to make
the town attractive. Briefly stated, the
aim of this society will be to make New
Brunswick more attractive both to its
own people and to strangers. Recently
a publio meeting was held, and B. G,
Northrop, an experienced lecturer and
organizer of village improvement so
cieties, explained what women can do
and have done to improve the sanitary
conditions of their home and surround

THE BEST ECONOMY.
Honey Spent Improving Hlfhways Is Re
turned With Interest.
The cause of good road making has
advanced notably in the last few years.
The subject has been scientifically stud
led under the United States depart
ment of agriculture and several of the
state departments. Counties and towns
have taken up the matter seriously, and
whenever the work has been practically
carried out it has been agreed that the
result more than paid for the cost in
saving of money, labor and comfort
In all places where good roads have
been built the interest has increased,
and almost invariably new roads have
been planned.
Massachusetts, Now Jersey and New
York have been active in the matter
of good roads and have set excellent ex
aniplcs to their sifter states.
Colonel P. V. Greene said, in a re
cent iirtclroHH, that actual tests show that
the same horsopoworor force thut draws
one ton on a muddy country road can
draw four tons on a well built macadam
road. This eoouomy of strength, if
chaugod into a money vulue and applied
to the way freight of the New York
Central railroad, would stand for a sav
ing of about 19,000,000.

It is easy to traoe the general demand
in a dozen and more states "for better
roads" directly to the riders of the bi

new innovation is going to bring uhont.
Thoy will succeed first because they
are united in thoir demand. They are
young and vigorous and influential.
Moro than thut, it is a long neglected
reform, in the success of which all tho
peoplo will bo beuetited. Stop putting
any more millions into railways until
tho country roads are made passable. In

the legislature is visiting tho various
counties and leading places and trying
to formulate, a statu system that is bet

Believes In Wide Tlree.
Professor Ross, in a recent talk on
the "Problem of Country Roads," said
he thought the chief reusou for country
roads not being up to the economic
standard was because there was no
strong commercial or busiuess interest
behind them, and because they cannot
be improved to any advantage by indi
viduals, acting as such. He pointed out
tho many ways in which bud count. y
roads menaced the people economical.,,
and socially. lie thought their condi
tion might be greatly improved by a
law compelling the use of wido tires

work under the supervision of compe
