Waste Acreage in Bad Roads. Kansas City Star. . The National Magazine estimates the road mileage in ten States at seven hundred thousand miles. The ; ten states named are Minnesota, Wiseon. sin, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, . Ne JbratVa, Missouri, lllinoist Indiana and Ohio. The width of the nublic highways in the ten states averages. sixiy-six ieei. lie national Maga zine estimates that the roads Could be reduced in width to thirty feet and still leave thirty-ix feet for. a public highway, and restore to the public for farm purposes nearly two and one-half million acres of land. Es timating the land1 value at an aver age of $100 per acre, the. totat"would be $Z5O,UVU,VU0. . ' . . L - value of tweleve and one half million dollars, an amount which with great advantage might be recovered and if applied too the proper scientific con struction of rods in the United States would in a few "years give ns the most extensive and finest country rood sys tem that the world has ever known." The suggestion is replete with pos sibilities in helping to solve the prob lem of good roads, it might be feas ible under a system of modern high ways to restore the excess to the farms. The average width of macad am roads is sixteen feet. It would appear as a reasonable; assumption that with a rock' road sixteen feet wide, but a few feet of land on each side the roadway would foe needed. But with the present system of mud roads there are several months in each year in which the sixty-six feet allotted to the highway is wholly in adequate to escape the mudholes. - Whatever else there may be in the suggestion of the National Magazine, it is interesting in its revelation of a feature heretofore given but little con sideration in measuring the tremen dous waste involved in the mainten ance of bad roads. Giant Tomato Vine.. Durham Sun. Mr. O. C. Stallings, one of the mem bers of the county school board, tells of a giant tomato vine that he has grown on his farm in Oak Grove town ship ithis year. . The monster vine is 16 feet across and Mr. Stallings has already gathered 253 tomatoes from it, and there are at least 200 more. All of the specimens are good, being perfectly , ( sound, well . formed and ranging in size - irom iwo to xour inches in diameter. It is a volunteer plant that came up, in the plant bed. Mr. Mailings says that he would have said something about it before as his' neighbors tod urged him to do, but the facta in the case' are of such monstrous' orboortiona that the story sounded a little fishy.

To the People of Concord: . By direction of the Post Office De partment, the attention of patrons of of providing facilities for the receipt of their mail at their homes by erect ing conveniently accessible boxes or cutting suitable slots in their doors. Such action would enable the post master to -give a prompter and better delivery service with the means at his '"disposal, since the carriers can cover much more territory in less time if not compelled to wait for an an swer to their ring.. Private recepta cles for mail are also a great conve nience to the householder, obviating the necessity of responding to the car rier's call at inconvenient moments and permitting the safe delivery-f man in tne absence .01 members of the household. They also prevent the occasional necessity of a carrier's proceeding on his route without de livering mail because of failure to an swer his ring within a reasonable time, and enable him to make deliv eries to patrons living on or near the end of the route at an earlier hour. It has been shown by actual ex perience that the benefits derived by patrons of eity delivery from-the use of such receptacles far outweigh the small expense involved. As this office is interested in furnishing the best possible service at the least expense, your compliance with the foregoing suggestions will be much appreciated. Respectfully, -, M. L.

One m Straara aa Ever Written Down la riction ia round in Real Lift. As quaint a romance as was aver written down in flctknhas found its ending in Kenton, O in real life. Philip Carr remarried to the wife' he lost in the turmoil of the Civil War nearly half a century ago is enjoying with her his second honeymoon. They were reunited in wedlock a few days since, but it was only recently that the facts 'became known aa to their life's history. Separated by raiding guerillas who captured the Federal mails; divorced because of a believed desertion; each remarried and each again widowed, they found tbe love of their youth still aflame upon an ac cidental meeting not long ago, and their new betrothal followed at once. Carr is now 74 years old and bis wife 68. ; It was in 1862 that Carr, respond ing to Lincoln's call for troops, marched to the front, leaving . his bride of a year and his infant daugh ter behind. When some months later his letters and remittances stopped, she was induced to apply for a di vorce on the gorund thatjie had de serted her. Some time later she remarried and went to live in the east. When Can returned from the war his bride was missing and he learned of the di vorce. Stung to the quick, he too married another. Many. years later her second husband and his second wife died. Recently he returned to the scenes of his boyhood and here he met "the girl he left behind him," in '62. He explained how the mails had been raided and the letters written with the stubs of a pencil in the trenches often stolen with his slender savings from his soldiers' pay of $13 a month. And he told of how. when her letters stopped, he too believed that he had been deserted. Both the old people say. hoewver. that the tragedy of errors has been made up to them by their happiness now.
