Packet:—Poor roads are very
expensive things for country commun-
ities, The farmers who think that im-
proved highways are mainly for the
benefit of those who drive automobiles
should reflect 00 the results of n recent
investigation by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture which finds
that the cost of hauling farm produce
over ordinary country roads is twenty-
three cents a ton utile whereas over
hard -surfaced roads it is only thirteen
cents.

when North of Winthrop some new
gravel was struck and quick as wink
r
the car swerved and turned t 'turtle in
the ditch. Fortunately no one was very
seriously injured, although. all were
more or less bruised. The occupants
got out the car was turned back and as
time was a most important factor to Mr.
Cooper, he accepted an invitation to
complete the journey in a passing car
and the other members of the party re-
turned to Seaforth. Despite a very
sore limb Mr, Cooper fulfilled his en-
gagements, although he was compelled

260 Varieties of Roses.
The Editor of The Mitchell Advocate
makes reference to our former well
known citizen, "Billy" Coates, and his
famous roses at Ggderich Few people
living in this part of Ontario are aware
that there is in the town of Goderich
a collection of roses embracing 260
species, and so artistically arranged a-
bout the enchanting grounds of the
registry office of the Canty of Huron
that visitors to that town seldom miss
the opportunity of calling on ,lir. Wm.
Coates, registrar, -who is a rose specia-
list, and has gathered together a col-
lection that is the amazement of visit-
ors, Surrounding these grounds are
about seven hundred bushes loaded
with beautiful blossoms of all the colors
imaginable, and ranging from perfect
little flowers about the size of a thimble
to other that would colllsare in size to
the large chrys:utth•gtnum. Mr, Coates
has made a study of roses for a num-
ben of years and has Imported many
*varieties of rare plants, It was after
hearing of this beautiful array of bloom
that the editor of The Advocate, while
fn Goderich this week, visited this hav-
en of beauty. This is not a money
making enterprise on the part of the
genial registrar as hundreds of these
flowers are cut each day and the pro-
ceeds are devoted to the Red Cross So-
ciety of that town We would recom-
mend to the Mitchell citizens who may
have s,n opportunity of going to God-
erich to visit the beautiful rose _garden
surrounding the registry office.

and Lt. -Col. W, W. McVicar, of the
