Beyond the Frontier | By Randall Parrish | 1 A tale of early days in the great Middle West when the intrepid explorer La Salle, and his faithful friend, Tonty, were blazing the way for civilization, and the golden lilies of France flew from the few lone blockhouses in the Indian country. ' I ?I Most of the action of the story takes place on the long trail from old Quebec to Fort St. Louis (Starved Rock), on the Illinois River. Adele la Chesnayne is a wonderful heroine. Bravely she bears the hardships of the wilderness journey, and when the life of her lover is in danger it is her wit and devotion that defeats his enemies and her own. {Jin "Beyond the Frontier" Randall Parrish is at his best, and one episode alone, that of the savage Indian attack on Starved Rock, will be read and reread for its thrilling realism.

E. J.

A farmer in Clieatoi, who has used the Bureau to good advantage writes: "Your efforts on this line ! have been very heartily appreciated in j tho community by the farmers and have led them to look upon you as a sincero and useful friend." The season is now rapidly approaching when the people residing in the towns and cities will be wanting fruits, vegetables and chickens and fresh eggs, in fact, those things that go to make up the table service, and there is no reason In the world why city housewives cannot make their wants in this direction known through the Bureau of Marketing and obtain all of these things at first hand from the producer. The grain crop I* also practically ready for distribution and merchants who sell grain either for feed or for seed should bo laying In supplies of the pure home product which can be obtained easily through the Bureau. Already many of the flour mills In the State have beeti getting the finest quality of wheat through the offices of the Bureau. The State Department of Agriculture is still furnishing to farmers pure nltnoculture for all summer legumes at 40c an acre delivered and considerable quantities are being used. The Department Is also receiving daily in response to requests heretofore made as to remarkable results on succeeding crops from the use of nltro-culturo on cowpeas during the season of 1915. i ; For the present the marl plant, for the output of which the state holds the contract, is closed down pending the Installation of new and better ma- 1 ( chinery, but the plant will start up , again some time In July, and it should I . be remembered that inarl Is a pro ( duct that ran be appHe<l at any time of the year to a field containing a growing crop and the benefit be doriv ed. Full information in regard to ni J tro-culture and marl can be obtained I ^ by application to the department. | , The Bureau of Marketing would i , again urge all who make use of it?

Depi Use of 8plit-Log Drag, Ar It is estimated that the people of Tl this country annually waste $260,000,- co 000 because of bad roads. InveBtiga- th tlons have shown that the average m< cost of hauling on nads In the Unltod States is 23 cents per ton per mile. nv It costs the farmer more to haul a cll bushel of wheat 9.4 miles, the average pl distance from farm to shipping point, wl than It ordinarily costs to ship It tr from New York to Liverpool. In Franco. Rngland and Germany, consular reports show instances where the u cost of hauling agricultural products aj Is as low as 10 cents per ton per 1() mile. If the farmers of this country could reduce the cost of hauling to 13 aT cents per ton mile, they would save about $250,000,000 which now repre- Ql Bents their "mud tax." The benefits of g<vd roads are numerous and far-reaching. They are a ln powerful factor in promoting better 8U farm conditions throughout the country. They make the farmer mere Independent cf seasonal and weather re conditions and permit fclrn to take bet- ctJ :er advantage <-f favc rable market and prices.

They have a profound effect on tl pur country schools and the home life tr an the farm. There are indoed few to Investments which tho farmer can at Township Does Not Care f make from which ho la so sure to re- cc r.elve generous dividends as from good in roads. al A reduction in the cost of hauling or is one of the most immediate benefits rc of a good road. A striking Instance of of this is shown by Investigations sc conducted in Virginia where the av- cc erago distance from the farm to the P< market is 7-8.10 miles, and the aver- tl age load for the staple crops is about cl one ton. Assuming that tho wages of P< a two-horse team and driver are $3.00 ai per day, it costs the farmer in Vlr- <: glnia an average of 26 cents per ton di mile to market his crops. If the reads te were gradod and improved with a sur- bl facing suitable for the particular road and region, the load could be in- a< creased at least 50 per cent and the d' round trip made In the aame or less time without any additional hardship n< on the team. This would represent a clear saving of $1.50 per day to each n farmer in the state for every day in to the year in which he was engaged in c< hauling to or from tho market. m Tha increase in land values ia an- fe other benefit that is noticeable wher- 11: ever road Improvement takes place, ai ADS PAY I isily Recognized?

Moreover, improved roads have a arket eiTect on both the amount and iaracter of production. For exame, around the typical small town, ben the roads are not Improved, uck gardening, dairying and other i rms of Intensive farming are con- j led to a small zone, immediately irrounding the town, which is usu- 1 ly scarcely sufficient to supply the j cal demand. Without good roadt , e production of pcrishablo goods al | ly considerable distance from mar it or shipping point is too hazard- | is an undertaking to be profitable : ith good roads tho produce can be i 'ought to market with regularity and prime condition, two essentials in iccessful marketing. The parcel post makes possible diet marketing between producer and | nsumer regardless of distance. But > ire again the public roads play no ' aall part, affecting not only possible i .tensions of the system, hut also the j ist of its operation.

While it Is uo that various factors contribute incroase or decrease the attendance , schools in given soctions of the ' ililtW vn or Engineering Advice. >untry, it is a woll-known fact that our rural schools the attendance most invariably shows a marked deease during the periods when the >ads are bad. Another point worthy ! consideration is that the one-room :hool is being supplanted by larger tnsoiidated schools throughout those >rtions of the country where condlons make it practicable to convey llldrou to school at the public exmse. Roads passable at all times e most necessary for successful :hool consolidation. There is abunmt evidence to prove that any exnslve road improvement is followed r better schools and better school .tendance. In seme of these schools, lvanced courses have been lntrojced, and it has been possible to nploy teachers having special quailnations and training. With good roads, some of the adintages of the city can be brought i the country.
