We" certainly have been getting plenty of zero weather this winter so 'far—and snow. too.

Thursday the cold moderated a little and a few inches of snow fell during the early hours Friday morning, it still continuing when The Democrat went to press Friday afternoon, about five or six inches having fallen up to that time. Fortunately there was no wind, and it did not drift. John M. Knapp sends The Democrat a renewal of his subscription from Panama, New York, and adds a few words which will Be of interest to the many friends of Mr. Knapp in Rensselaer and Jasper county. The letter was written Wednesday, and Mr. Knapp said: “Today we are having quite a snow storm, but not cold. Crops here were good except corn, which did not generally mature. Potatoes were good;-I had 205 bushels from slightly less than one acre. Milk is bringing good money; sell ours at cents at the farm. Pork 24 cents per pojind. For one that enjoys farming the chance to make good was never better. I am keeping fourteen head of cows, all Holsteins except one.”

MORE PERMANENT HIGHWAYS

(Continued from page one)

the line of travel will be 'urged to take their shipments to the nearest postoffice, so that they will be ready for placing on the truck on its arrival. If persons wish to have matter picked up en route, they should meet the truck and hand their mail to the driver. Arrangements will also b$ made to have the mails so prepared that there will be practically no delay in exchange at intermediate offices.” The establishing of these motor truck routes will bring a demand for more permanent highways, such as brick or concrete, and while Rensselaer is left off the route selected because of the condition of some of the roads north of this place, it is the most direct route to follow and would have been selected had we equally as good roads as Newton county. This service will no doubt be of great value to people living along the line thereof and we can only regret that we were not fortunate in having the roads that would have'brought it here. With the north and south brick road through our county which The Democrat has been advocating for the past two years or more, there would have been no question about where this route would have gone, and many other advantages would also result from such a highway.
