Advertising has become one of th? most important branches of business. It may be termed the dynamo of commerce. It gives publicity to what one has to sell and is intended to attract purchasers. From the newsboy who yells "Special extra" in the streets to the broker who offers "gilt edged" securities in the financial columns of the morning newspaper, every one attempting to do business advertises, with the possible exception of the farmer. Municipal advertising is a recognized division of the profession, and there are bureaus which make a specialty of giving publicity to the advantages offered by this or that city in the way of business oonortunitv. health, culture, recreation, etc.; to induce people to their particular localities is one of the chief offices of boards of trade. At a recent meet ins of the White Mountain (N. H.) Board of Trade tha question of good roads was discussed from several standpoints. Among other speakers was C. E. Farnsworth. advertising manager of the Boston and Maine Railroad, who took his specialty as the subject of his remarks and spoke of the benefits of advertising for a community or a section. Some of his suggestions are worthy of earnest consideration by the dwellers of country districts. "I think you will all agree," said the speaker, "that the public do not go to the Adirondacks or the White Mountains because of the mere fact a" that the railroads operate to these 'jj' points." Hotels, it was declared, are HI necessary to induce guests, while it is equally true that guests are essenn_ tial to the support of hotels, e- "It has now become a necessity to >n, steadily create the desire among the he public to travel, to see, to visit, to obtain recreation, rest and entertainment, which are all within the vaeaj tion idea, which is no longer a fad. ncj but is firmly established as one of he tho necessities among all classes," Mr. Farnsworth asserted. The patrons he and guests of hotels must not be conss fined, however, to piazzas and door aI" yards when seeking recreation in the country. jjj The very best advertisement?esjr pecially in this motor age?that can ng be put forward to induce summer viser itors or permanent residents is a sysn tern of good roads.?Good Roads nj Magazine. 1IU __________ ud to Highway Fen re; When time, labor and money have been expended upon the beds of counm try roads and highways there is the hope of compensation in the way of improvement. 11- If the farmer west of the Missism sippi is blessed with a good road lcadte ing to and from his farm, why should |\e not he pay some attention to the roadside? In most cases the roadside is the seeding ground of the noxious is weeds with which he holds an annual ie combat in his fields. w There are instances where he has e. an excuse. A rank growth of weeds >n and briars may be more pleasing to w look at than the fence they hide; rs but where land is worth $50 or more js per acre, he forfeits that excuse, af A good, well constructed lence ct along the highway will arouse a cere tain amount of pride which acts as In an incentive to get busy with the ir scythe and ax and clean up.

A recent investigation made by the Office of Public Roads shows that Kentucky now stands first among all the States in the total mileage of * roads surfaced with stone, fourth in the total mileage of macadam roads. I) and eighth in the percentage of improved roads. The improved roads have been taken as those surfaced with stone, gravel and other materials more or less permanent. For e? the year 1904 Kentucky ranks flfQ" teenth among the States in total ex3r penditures, seventeenth in total cash expenditures, and. during that year, thirteen States appropriated money ie from tbelr State treasuries to aid la ?r the construction of roads, but Kentucky made no such appropriation. >e Statistics compiled for the same year 'h ihow that Kentucky had 57,137 miles in of public road, of which sixteen and six-tenths per cent, had been improved up to the close of that year, -,f even though during the year 1904 st a cash or property tax of $1,161,194 .11 and a labor tax valued at $987,485. re or a total of $2,148,689 had been expended on its roads.?Good Roada ~~ Magazine. s. * Her Husband.
