The incindary fire, the burglar? of a stoie restaurant in town last week brings before the pub lic the need of more vigilencc on the part of our populace anc police. There is a class of vag rants who are ever ready to D'UL der the prosperity of others. These people are too worthless to work for their daily bread am are dastarely enough to commi* any crime to obtain food anc raiment. Such things should not be tolerated and our people should spare no pains to brir£ the criminals to justice. Goed Roads. In addition to what may le termed the commercial aspect ci good roads they have a highly important social aspect as welJ. They bring the farmer into clo?ei touch with the world'at large. H( and his family are not forced t remain at heme for days at i time because the condition oi the roads may make traveling ur pleasant if not difficult. Good roads insure efficient and prompt rural mail deliveries, placing the newspaper on table of the farmer early in the day its pub lication, enabling him to transact much of his business by rr.aii and to take advantage of earlj information as to fluctuation ir the prices of his farm product?. Good roads mean that the farmei and the members of his family can enjoy to a greater degree the society of their neighbhrs and friends in the town and country. They mean that his children car be more reg u 1-a r i r school attendance anc can receive to a greater degree the advantages of education They mean the bringing closer together of town and country, with advantages on both sides, for as the farmer is benefited by being brought into • closer touch with the town, so ail the business interests of the town nrosper as the result of the facility with which the fanner and his famib can do their shopping, Gooc roads also benefit the inhabitant ? of towns and cities by affordinp facilities for pleasant country drives. They invite the busi ness man to the estabHshunent ot country and' suburban -homes, such as he can tsnjojf only when he is assured that the condition of the roads will be such as te enable him to-reach his places oi business promptly 4n all°kind*oi weather.
