Yet Has Lived on a Farm Many
Years and Knows All About
Making Good Roads.
The Good Hoads meeting plan

Saturday afternoon, May 20, at 3
o'clock, is going to be one of the
banner occasions of the season.
"Good Roads" King is a winner
and every man who can get into
the opera house should hear him.
Below is a short sketch of who
Mr. King is and what he is doing,
which is iaken from the Hed Oak
(Iowa) Express:
D. Ward King, the discoverer of
the split-log drag, has been wide
ly advertised as a farmer. He has
lived for over twenty-five years on
the farm which he improved from
the native prairie sod and he lives
there yet. Moreover, Mr. King is
an enthusiast on farming and on
the delights and advantages of
farm life.
But it is not generally known
that the famous roadmaker is city
born and bred. We listened with
much surprise to Mr. King when
in conversation the other day lie
told us that until be hud attained
his majority he had never put a
collar on a horse or washed his
face out of doors
Mr. King was obliged to give up
city life and move to the farm
while a young man for the sake of
his health, which was slipping
away from him in the city's less
invigorating atmosphere and
environments.
Fully cognizant of his ignor
ance, and naturally cautious, he
began his farming by consulting
with the best and most successful
farmers in his vicinity, tested
their advice and experimented on

Why You Make Money by Pur
chasing at Home and Get a
Better Quality of Goods.
The impression prevails with
some people that it is cheaper to
buy of mail order bouses and of
merchants in distant cities than
at the home store.
By buying at home, however,
you avoid paying a share of the
enormous rentals and taxes of
some vast metropolitan establish
ment. You also save your share
of the army of clerks that it takes
to run that distant and complicat
ed machine.
If the distant emporium keeps
a larger assortment than the
home store, the customers have to
pay for it. Such extended lines
