'The Times-Herald would again
suggest that the farmers of this
section get together and arrange
for a creamery. This is a good
season of the year for such dis
cussions and it will be the means
of, keeping a large sum of money

to those interested. Why not
the Farmers' Union start this
enterprise.

V. G. Cozad, limberger expert,
has made a discovery that will
provo a blessing to mankind, pro
mote domestic felicity, and make
the course of lovers run smotho.
The discovery has peppermint,
sen sens and breath rojuvenators
lashed to tho mast or mashed to
tho last. It is a simple, effective
and economical solution of a here
tofore complex and confusing pro
blem. After a ropast on the
oderiforous yet pleasant and
palatable limberger, tho patient
is advised to mix a tablespoon of
said, tablo or stock, inn cut glass
goblet of ice wnter. There being
many a slip between tho cup and
tho lip, the goblet must bo raised
to tho faco with great dexterity
and celerity and tho salted H-2-0
dashed against the teeth like the
dashing billows of tho storm
tossed sea. This will remove tho
cnrrion-liko presonco of tho scent
ed cheeso nnd make a gentle
man's breath remind ono of tho
breath of a cnlf that hus had
dinner. Blue Mt. Eagle,
High Value of Good Road
No one questions the state
ment that good roads have a
high monoy value to the farmers
of the nntlon. nnd it may be said
that this alone is sufficient to
justify the cost of their cbnsruc
tion as rapidly as practiblc under
an efficient, economicol equitable
system of highway improvement.
Tho big point in favor of this
expenditure is the economy of
time nnd force in transporation
between farm and market, en
abling the growers to Uikc ad
vantage of fluctuations in buying
nnd Belling as well as enhancing
tho value of real estate. It is
estimated that the average an
nual loss from poor roads is 76
cents an acre, while tho estimat
ed average increase resulting
from improving all the public
roads is $9.
