UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE GIVES IN
TERESTING FIGURES.
‘lhe cost of bad roads to the
farmers of the United States is, per
haps, a difficult matter to estimate.
However, when it is considered for
the entire country upon the basis of
highway mileage and the results of
experiments relative to the cost of
hauling farm produce tne figures are
most surprising. The federal depart
ment of agriculture states that there
are 2,151,578 miles of public roads
in the Unitea States. Of this mileage
statistics for the year 1904 show
that about seven per cent. are im
proved. During the crop year 1905-
1906 85,478,000,000 pounds of farm
products were hauled over common
roads from farm to market. As no
figures are included for forest or
mine products or for the general
commodities of life that go from city
T 6 country, it is evident that the
slightest saving in cost of hauling
per ton would assume striking pro
portions when considered for the en
tire country. Figures show that
these great crops traveled in wagons
over the country roads 208,432,644
miles, merely in being transported
from the farm to the railroad ship
ping point.
Investigations . have . established
‘the fact that the average cost of
hauling per ton per mile is about 25
cents. The cost on stone roads, dry
and in good order, is about eight
cents; on stone roads in ordinary
condition, 12 cents; on earth roads
containing ruts and mud, 29 cents;
on sandy roads when wet, 33 cents;
or sandy roads when dry, 64 cents.
A reduction in the cost of hauling
from 25 cents to 12 cents would
mean an average saving of over

HERE'S NEW CAUSE OF CRIME
“Light Starvation” Brings Both
Physical and Mental Ills,
Says Physician.
Evidence of the efficacy of treat
ment by light energy of ills, physical
and mental, running the gamut from
toothache to pneumonia, from the
“fractiousness’’ of naughty children
to potent insanity, was presented in
a paper read by Dr. J. Frank Wallis
of Norristown before the Northwest
Branch of the Philadeiphia Medical
Society.
The room was hardly of sufficient
seating capacity to hold the physi
cians who testified to the great in
terest now being taken in this form
of treatment for disease by their
presence.
Dr. Wallis, who was formerly con
nected with the Municipal and Poly
clinic Hospitals, and who is now on
the visiting staff of the Norristown
Asylum for the Insane, has applied
the treatment to almost every form
of ailment, and in nearly a thousand
cases treated has obtained the most
satisfactory results.
Tuberculosis, skin diseases of
every description, neuralgia, pneu
monia, anemia, nervous disorders
and insomnia—in fact, every trouble
that flesh is heir to—have come un
der his care, and he cited eighteen
of these, giving the history of cases
and results.
“Light starvation,” the doctor de
clared, ‘‘causes criminals.”
; Don’t Get a Divorce.
A western judge granted a divorce
on account of ill temper and bad
breath. Dr. King's New Life Pills
would have prevented it. They cure
constipation causing bad breath and
liver trouble the ill temper, dispel
colds, banish headaches, conquer
chills. 25c¢ at Dawson Drug Co’s.

REFORMERS WITH HOBBIES TO
BE MUCH IN EVIDENCE DURING
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.
Members of the Kansas legislature,
which will convene in regular session
today, are preparing some freak
measures to occupy the time of that
body ‘during the next few months.
Reformers with hobbies promise to
be much in evidence, though there is
grave doubt as to whether very many
of their pet measures will ever adorn
the statute books.
Among the measures to be pro
posed will be one to regulate the
price of meals on dining cars. An
other bill will propose the estab
lishment of a free state dormitory
for the accommodation of members
of the legislature. Senator Anson
Cooke of Mitchell county wants a law
that will enable people to know io a
certainty that a person is dead be
fore they bury him. Another mem
ber has framed a bill making it a
prison offense for a man to treat
another to anything whatever while
running for office. Representative
Harbaugh will introduce a bill to
compel people to brand their chick
ens as they do their cattle as a
means of protection against thieves.
While these and many other freak
bills probably will be introduced
there will also be many measures
of a more substantial character that
will be considered and acted upon
during the session. A state bank de
posit guaranty law will receive at
tention, and as both parties are
pledged to enact such a law it is
probable that it will go through in
some form or another. State pub
lication of school text books is pro
posed, and there are also some
amendments to the tax law promised.
BASHFUL MEN BEST HUBBYS
Are Capital Prizes in the Matrimo
nial Lottery, Declares a Kan
sas City Preacher.
Young ladies, if you would be
happy though married wed a bash
ful man. If he acquires a case of
stuttering tongue and cold feet when
in your presence so much the better.
If he blushes it is almost certain that
he will make a desirable worser
half. It may be difficult to lead to
the point where he will blurt out the
fatal question, but the game is well
worth the candle. The bashful man
is the first prize in the matrimonial
lottery. He is almost certainly in
nocent and unsophisticated, and easi
ly trained in the way husbands
should go.
Beware of the forward, brazen
man. It is a cinch that he knows a
lot that he shouldn’t know, and it
will be almost impossible to make
him over into a domesticated, faith
ful animal who will eat from your
hand. So declares, in effect, the
Rev. J. L. Thompson, pastor of the
Forest Avenue Christian church, in
Kansas City, who has just been
preaching a series of sermons on
marriage. Says the Rev. Mr. Thomp
son:
‘““The bashful man is to be pre
ferred above all others for matri
mony. He is not girl-spoiled. Next
to being a bad man or a focl to be
a girl-spoiled man is most detestable.
Bashfulness is a proof of simplicity
of character, a thing most desirable
in a husband.
“Do not marry a featherheaded
man nor a man who cannot support
a family. As to the question of how
much money a man should be earn
ing, it depends on individual cir
cumstances, but unless you are sure
vour husband can support you com
fortably it is better to remain in
single blessedness.
“I pray for an age of utility and
common sense when we can think
seriously about these things and act
wisely—for an age when young wo
men will demand the same integrity
and virtue from man that is‘demand
ed of them.”

Some Will Take Brides With Them.
Doubt Assails Man Whose Sweet»‘
heart Has Homestead, So Will He
Take Girl or Land? A Gatho‘ring‘i
of People of All Sorts and Con-%
ditions. |
Would you marry a girl to go out
into a new country and build a home
with you with the chance of having
to live for the first five years of your
married life on farms separated by
thirty miles of prairie? In addition
to that make the girl pretty—the
girl, in fact—and isn’t it a problem
to daunt the stoutest heart?
Well, that is one of the problems
presented for the consideration and
possible solution of the Rosebud as
sociation, which was organized in
Chicago the other day.
In all of cosmopolitan Chicago
there probably was no meeting half
as strange as that held in a little
lodge room at 112 Fifth avenue—
men and women from every walk of
life, business men, street car con
ductors, widows, professional men,
farmers, stenographers, clerks, peo
ple differing radically in every imag-
Inable particular, the winners of the
drawings for homesteads on the
Rosebud reservation, the people who
are to populate a county. Sixty farm
winners, many accompanied by their
wives and daughters, attended the
meeting.
All sorts and condilions of men
were gathered in that room, know-i
ing that chance has thrown them to
gether for the remainder of their
lives and determined, says the Chica
go Tribune, to co-operate in a firm:
union for offense and defense against
all the trials and perils of the new
country.
Committees of men fitted by long
experience to deal with certain prob
lems were formed, and to these ques
tions may be submitted by any mem
bers. The chosen experts will con
sider carefully matters ot agriculture,
what to plant, when to plant it, how‘
to take care of it, matters of trans
portation, how to pool shipments in
carload lots and thus reduce railroad
rates, how to make further reduc-}
tions by co-operative teaming, mat
ters of building, what to build, how
to build, the possibility of living in
tents or portable buildings, the cost
of materials, matters of location, how
to get good lands though having
high numbers, how to cut down sur
veyors’ expenses, how to locate in
“strings of forties,”” how to ‘‘pocket”
valuable land, how to pool interests
and force the location of town sites.
'All questions will be answered and
ithe printed results distributed to
members.
But among all the intensely prac
tical questioms asked by those pres
ent and recorded for study and reply
!that ot the furiously blushing young
‘man who was evidently thinking of
“‘pooling interests’” with a feminine
‘winnm‘ was the most interesting.
““Must every one have his home on
’the quarter section he draws? he
asked, and being satisfied, or possibly
dissatisfied, on this point, proposed
the following problem: “But if a
young man and a young woman
should draw lands in opposite cor
ners of the county would they have
each to live on their own section?”’
No one seemed to be sure, but
most of them thought it would be a
case of ‘‘the lady or the 160 acres.”
Romance permeated the meeting,
as it is an indisputable fact that
every one of the young women win
ners will have to take a helpmeet
with her to win her way on the
frontier, and probably every young
bachelor is also fully aware of the
necessity of a woman on a farm.
Then, too, almost every one knows
every one else, There was the trip
out on the excursion train, the stay
at the land office town, the informal
meetings of winners in Chicago, and
it is probable that more than one
couple is facing the problem of a
possible embarrassment of riches
after the allotment.
The officers elected were: Presi
dent, C. A. S. Howlett, an electrical
engineer living at 3300 Beacon
street; vice-president, William 1.
Carroll, a decidedly eligible young
man, said to be still ‘‘fancy free;’’
secretary, Miss Frances M. Ranney,
the pretty stenographer who was the
first woman to ‘‘file’’ at Rosebud last
October and serenely certain that
she will not again go there alone;
treasurer, Dr. William Hogan, who
drew No. 2323, and who was unable
to be present because of an impor
tant engagement with Miss Edith
Garvey. Dr. Hogan and Miss Garvey
expect to spend their honeymoon on
‘the Rosebud next June.
- The chairmen of four of the com
‘mittees are: J. W, Carter, location;
LH' Sowden, transportation; Roscoe
Buck, buildings, and Cornelius Mede
ma, agriculture.
