If wives continue to plot with
other men to murder their hus
bands and our courts would hang
a few of these worthless women
we no doubt would see a reduc
tioh of crime in this particular.
The tariff may be bringing the
cost of living down, but the move
ment is hardly visible to the nak
ed eye. But the trusts were not
formed in a day, and since every
thing is Democratic and Wilson
is still after the special interests
with a hot stick, we are inclined
to believe that better times are
coming bye and bye.
Wonder if Mexico would be
warm enough for Uncle Sam’s
army to spend the winter down
there. Looks very much like
Huerta is making the invitation
plain. It ought to be avoided
though if possible. That it has
been kept off so long is due to
the great wisdom and forethought
of the present administration.
If Roosevelt had been President
Mexico would already have been
annexed and a high tariff placed
on chili conarne and red pepper,
Ruling on School Law.
The Supreme Court, in the case
of Webb against Jackson, from
Heard county, decided that
where a county has been divided
into school districts, and there
after votes a tax levy to supple
ment the State school funds in
t e districts, the apportionment
of the county fund by the boards
of education, in the discretion of
the boards, may be made upon
the basis of school attendance in
such districts receiving support
from the school fund as the
s chool attendance in said districts
b?ars to the attendance of the
entire county,
This decision should be of
great interest to county boards
of education in Georgia, and is
one of the pet measures of State
Superintendent Brittfan.

Recipient Liable For Bill.
Taking a paper out of the Post
Office makes the recipient liable
for the bill. An editor in Mis
souri sent his paper to one John
Smith. He paid for it twice and
then refused to pay again. He
said he ordered it discontinued.
But the Court of Appeals held
that mere acceptance of the pa
per created a liability. It added:
she preparation and publication
of a newspaper means much men
tal and phyical labor as well as
an outlay of money. He who ac
cepts the paper by taking it from
the Post Office continuously, re
ceives a benefit and pleasure aris
ing from such labor and expense
as fully as if he had appropriated
any other product of anothers’
labor, and by such act he must
be held liable for the subscription
price.
GOOD ROADS PREVENT
DISEASE.
Few persons, on first thought
would see any possible connec
tion between good roads and
good health. Yet the State
Board of Health of Kansas says
that good roads can and will
prevent disease. How? By the
rrmoval of weeds and trash.
Weeds and trash prevent the
prompt evaporation of mois
ture and promote retention of
ground water. This makes
ideal breeding spots for mosqui
toes, flies and other insects
which are known as disease
carriers, not to mention clinch
bugs, hoppers and other in
sects which are crop damagers.
Furthermore, an undergrowth
of weeds invites the dumping of
garbage and manure by offer
ing concealment, of which fact
careless and thoughtless people
are prone to take advantage,
thus increasing the facility of
insect breeding and providing
these insect carriers with prop
er material for disease trans
mission. Good roads also pre
vent disease by providing good
drainage. Many farms have
no means of drainage except by
ditches along roadways. Open
ditches, clear of all brush and
debris, with hardened surface
and proper fall, afford these
farms the opportunity of rid
ling themselves of many a
stagnant pool. The removal of
veeds, proper road grading,
surface hardening and oiling,
insures prompt drainage of all
pool, ditch and surface water
removing the possibility of in
sect breeders, for none can
multiply without moisture.
Road oiling in itself is destruc
tive of insect larvae, especially
mosquitoes—a well known fact.
Dry roads offer pedestrians,
and notably children who are
compelled to walk to and from
school, dry shoes and feet.
While colds are due to specific
germs, yet it is well known fact
that cold, wet feet and chilled
imbs lower the resistance of in
dividuals and make them more
favorable subjects for . infec
tion of the respiratory passages,
including pneumonia and tu
berculosis. Good roads prevent
disease by setting an example
to adjoining farm premises.
mod roads promote travel and
"t an example to the farmer
whose premises are bordered by
them. The comparison of a
well graded, clean highway
with an unkept and trashy
barnyard adjoining is sufficient
to stimulate every landowner to
dean up. Pride compels him
to offer to passers by a neat ap
pearing and attractive house
and barnyard. Results are only
too obvious. Good roads are ac
tive disease prevention agen
des, aside from their financial
and commercial value. — Pro
