The newspaper, being essentially local, and the great mouthpiece for the retailers, is obviously the medium for the thoughtful who are looking for sales. K.

Re BRADFORD COUNTY STAGES COCKEREL AUCTION SALE Bradford county will hold its sec ond annual Cockerel Consignment Sale at Towanda, Pennsylvania, on Noveinber 16. This sale, the only one of its kind in the state, and one of the few in the United States will bring together at least 50 of the best male birds in Bradford county, of the leading poultry sections of the state. The sale will be held in connection with the County Poultry Show which will open on November 13. About one 100 birds have been entered and will be judged on a production basis. It is expected that the entries will be rely White Leghorns but birds of r breed may be entered from thé county. Buyers from all parts of vania will be attracted by the high quality of cockerels offered in the sale. The birds, all single comb White Pennsyl- Leghorns, have been carefully select- | ed by the poultry extension special ists at State College and are from hens banded for their high produc- ing ability. The egg production of the flock from which each cockerel comes has been kept and will be an- nounced to the bidders. The first sale, held last year at Troy, met with hearty approval from farmers who wished to secure good males to head their flocks. The birds last year averaged $4.45 a piece tl Gr eee A cake-eater is a fellow who is too lazy to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow.

It is so pitifully easy to arrange to have someone else pay for a road! A bond issue to run fifty years puts the burden of paying on the men and women who come after us, while we use the road! This is bad enough, as a matter of unsound economics, but it is worse when the money is so unwisely expended as to produce a road which wears out long before the bonds become due. In - such cases, and there are many of them! —the body politic finds itself in the position of paying for roads which additional necessity of rebuilding the road and maintaining it, as well as paying the interest and finally the | principal, on the bonds which built roads which wore out. There are cases where long term bonds are justified and necessary. But there are no cases where the expenditure of such funds is justi- fied for anything less than a perman- ent road, so located, so built, so and location as to make it of service to the people to come as well as those who now use it. It has been said that there nothing permanent about any road except its location, but this is only when maintenance is an after- thought. It is as unsound fo build a road and let it ravel to pieces is painted and uninsured. Paint the house, insure it, repair it, and it may stand for a hundred years or more. Maintain the road as it is used and it should last indefinitely. Only | such roads should be built with bond issue money, and only such roads should be built with money derived from town or county or state bonds as will serve town, county, and state for all time to come. To do otherwise is to betray trust of the helpless unborn. ee RR - the PENNSYLVANIA WANTS $100,000,000 FOR ROADS The constitution of the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania contains, in section four, of article nine, a dras- tis regulation regarding the State going into debt.
