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. The good roads town catches the trade. A good road is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. And besides it pays. Good Roads. Life. Jp' A Testimonial.

Ladles of New Brunswick, N. J., Form U Town Improvement Society. Tiio stato of New Jersey is already fa mous for tho good roads which truverso u large part of its territory, and if the 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 ings, sidewalks, roads, roadsides, schools A Fact Worth Knowing.

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. Nothing could better show that intel ligent outlay is the best possible econo my. Youth's Companion. Bloycles and Improved Highways. It is easy to traoe the general demand in a dozen and more states "for better roads" directly to the riders of the bi cycle. It is ouo of the reforms that the 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 Now York a committed appointed by the legislature is visiting tho various counties and leading places and trying to formulate, a statu system that is bet ter than anything before praetieod in any state of the Union. Other states will follow tho example. Chicago Inter Ocouu. 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 und providing for constant and efficient work under the supervision of compe tent engineers. Time Saved Is Money Saved. With good roods larger loads could be hauled and time saved in this way.
