A farmer from IMne Creek town ship, states that in that section po tatoes would not yield more than one-third of A crop. I'nder the circumstances it was his opinion that the price of potatoes, which is now onedollarper bushel, will not fall, hut will rather rise as the season ad vances. A peculiarity of the potato crop this season is that the potatoes arc not small in size, but as a rule are large. Only one or two, however arc found on a stalk, so that a large acreage produces comparatively a small yield- Peru-til of the Democratic p'tttf'irn would end the unsophisticated to be lieve that the country Ims been go ing to perdition and the Republican party hati no other aim but the most selfish and mercenary one. The platform condemns the new tariff hill its a measure that is an "imposition" on the consumer. What has the Democratic party in PennsylAani i to say to the fact that numerous Democratic legislators in Washington helped |to make the present bill what it is, contributed information and labor necessary in {retting it into its present shape? Undoubtedly it is the best measure of the kind ever constructed, it re vises downward in HO per cent, of the articles, it advances the tax ation on luxuries. It makes as fair a distribution of the tariff costs as can possibly be clone and at the same time tidies care of the consum ing masses. The truth is that no matter what kind of a bill was constructed it would not please a Democratic con vention. It would be inconsistent with the principles of that party to rise and bow acquiescently to the magnificent work of the Republican Congress. Criticism such as is niad< in th<- platform injects a little humor into the occasion. . Certain British writers contrive that neither Cook nor Peary discovcd the North Pole. They say that the work was accomplished by it British expedition, and that when the two Americans heard of it they im mediately made a dash for the South to herald their claims in advance of the real discoverers, who have not yet reached a point where they can communicate with the world. Bosh! .just like John Bull. It will be re membered that he claimed owner ship of the Pole a few hours after the discovery had been announced. Governor I{. S. Woodruff of Connec ticut will be a member of tlie seventh I degree class at tlie national grange I meeting at Hartford in November. ! OUT FOR THE: BEST ROADS. j Why the West Believes In Building Highways For Automobiles. | "The good roads movement in the east does not compare with that of the ! west," said Horace O. Gordon of the Oklahoma Good Roads association i while he was In New York on a visit. "1 think the work of the good roads advocates In the cast h:is stirred tip the public demand and desire for 'the best roads in tlie world' in the west, | but I do not believe the eastern states j are carrying out the work so thorough'; | ly as the western states, j "We In the west appreciate the fact I that the opening of the western coun try depends entirety upon its roads, ! and we are not going to build high ways which will last merely a decade, like your eastern state roads, to be torn up by automobiles. "We are building roads which the motor cars cannot tear up. We feel that the automobile can do us more good than the horse, because we have to cover hundreds of miles where you in the east cover tens of miles. "It seems a ridiculous thing to build a road for the use of the horse, which is 011 the decline, and then when the automobile comes along and tears li up to Jump up and yell that the motor car is destroying our roads. The thing to do is to build roads for the automo bile. and then the horse can use tliem as long as he lasts, which will not be a great while." Forest Service and Good Roads. Realizing that with thicker settle ment and increasing use of the ltn tional forests good roads will become uiore and more a crying necessity. It has been arranged that the office of public roads of the department of agriculture shall co-operate with the forest service in drawing up plans for comprehensive systems of roads and trails In the un tional forests. Hitherto the funds al lotted by congress to the forest service for permanent improvements on na tional forests have largely been used for road and trail building, but the amount is too small compared with the total area of the forests to make pos sible more than a small beginning. Building each year under the new ar j rangement can be done with reference j to a carefully worked out plan, escap ing the danger of undir;' ted effort, i The roads, trails, telephone lircs and i lire lines already constructed i'l tia- I tional forests are proving of great lvalue both in the work of fire protec tion and in serving tlie convenience of j the public. The further this work can i be carried the greater will be the UKP j fulness of the forests to the surround j Ing regions. This Is only one of the tuaiiy ways In which the forest service j rs'promoting the Interests of the peo : pie. Poor Roads Bid For Smokers. | "It's hard to run out of 'tobacker' j during wet times," complained a farm er. "being headed ofT from the source Inf supply by Impassable roads and j with nothing to do but to brood over I the situation."
