A LOP HORNED
COW
EXPENSE SHOULD BE DIVIDED
Railroads Should Share With Farmer
Cost of Building and Proper Maln-
tenance of Roads.
(By HOWARD H. GROSS.)
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

Ask any farmer you will and he will
tell you that a lop horned cow Is a trou

There had been peace In Woods coun
ty for a dozen years when a rumpus
suddenly fell ujiou the land and
changed the course of at least two
lives and gave a hundred others some
thing besides crops to talk about.
Farmer Jepson, widower, lived four
miles from Ackron on the county line
roi.d, and Jane Sehoufleld, widow and
farmer, lived three miles west of him
on the Red Bridge road. They had
lived thus for five years and only knew
each other by name. The five years
might have become twenty had not an
old lop horned cow stepjied In to give
the parties an Introduction.
The cow was owned by the widow
Besides being lop horned she was bob-
tniled. wild eyed and had various bad
habits, one uf which was jumping sD
rail feud's and wandering alniut nights
These promenades sometimes led her
mil*** away and Into strange pastures
The first time Farmer Jepson saw her
she as In the midst of his cornfield

The highways in the central west do

He followed that up by declaring that
his feelings had simply l>een shocked

to the corn and cabbage, perhaps $10
would pay the bill. If a verdict for
that amount was rendered be would

was whispering to her:
“Now you get up there and give us
some hot talk and your case Is won.
We’ve got Jepson on the skedaddle.”
There was no hot talk from the wid

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

cents’ damages, and another was that
Farmer Jepson would call at her home

week later he drove np to the door and
after an hour’s interview was asked
