In a large sense the building of a road should be a local matter; that is, no community should have good roads forced upon them, and the building of the roads should not begin until the majority at the people living In a com munity want to undertake it. Let the voters of the township or the county press the button that puts the ma chinery in action. It also would be well to remember that the roads are public property and belong to everyone. The farmers ought not to pay all the taxes for building and maintaining the roads, they are the feeders for the railway lines. It is all Important to the rail ways that the highways shall be kept u* 75 <*-ui* • •••' ii.il ; , i In rvl pru 1 „!i J JUl,' ••••I pro •*D »i • ••i.J j rn- -ill* f. r 1 ; r I r . h i . ch i.

The highways in the central west do not meet the needs of the people, but the people do not always realize this.

We’ve got Jepson on the skedaddle.” There was no hot talk from the wid ow. On the contrary, she cooed like a dove. She admitted to tbe ownership of the jumping, predatory cow. but was quite willing to pay reasonable damages. She didn't doubt the plain tiff's shocked feelings and was sorry for them and wished he had hit the old cow with the ax. One of the re sults of the suit was a verdict for •] cents’ damages, and another was that Farmer Jepson would call at her home for the money. He kept his word.
