HAIL SToRM.--A destructive hail
storm Is reported from Argent Thurs
day night. 1t swept across the Orms-
by farm and drove the vegetation into
the ground, for distance of three miles
along the foot Of the mountains. Eight
hailstones weighed sixteen pounds.
Three miles Is long ways to drive
green things into the ground and the
scales used were probably not an apothe-
cary's, but the information is the best
obtainable.

heartily loo favor .r good roadF being

PARTS Of tho apu' and ~ POlk county,
and will render substantial assistance
towards the same.
A resolution was also offered and
unanimously adopted favorlng the
thorough draining Of all roads by means
Of tillpg placed AT each side of the grade
20 az to drain the water out from under
the road and keep II dry.
1t was also the sense Of the meeting
that, after this be done, the road be
graded up between the tllesend covered
with fine gravel or crushed rock, and
that this grade be not made too wide.
The prevailing idea seemed to be to
make 10 narrow, In view of the fact
that winter roads are needed more than
any other, and that by making 1t mar
row and having IL well-rouDded, II
would drain of to the sides where 1t
would 20 down into the tile and be car
ried off, keeping 1t In first-class shape
throughout the year.
This meeting, which was largely at
tended by substantial citizens of Salem,
was very enthusiastic In regard to the
advisability and necessity of taking
hold of this work, and pushing II to a
complete success. 1t means much for
The good of this city. 1t was shown
that In Ohio, Indiana, and elsew here,
where such roads haye been made, that
they create demand for property along
the line of these roads at much higher
figures than were obtainable before,
the productive value of the farm in dol
lars and cents being very largely in
creased. 1t was shown that by means
Of these roads the farmer could market
his produce any day in the year: that
there would lie an immense saving in
horses, wagons, harness, repairs, etc. !;
in fact, 1t seems to be the consensus of
opinion that no movement could be
taken which would result in SO great
good to both country and city as the
building of good roads.
After thorough discussion as to the
best means for the accomplishment of
this work, a committee was appointed
of II. w. Cottle, VIM.
Brown and Geo. M. Beeler, to draw up
brief synopsis of the new law, as
above set forth, and to prepare an es-
innate of the cost Of constructing roads
"a the above described manner, and
make an estimate of the cost of said
-oads to each acre of land within the
district. On motion the meeting ad-
ourned on call of the chairman.

BIoodcurdling Sword Fcn.s.

Mr. henderson was present ut the battle
of Chllianwallah in 1919 and can testify
To some remarkable instances of the power
of n keen sword. Toward the termination
of the fight, as the British troops were
slowly retiring, n Sikh challenged by his
gestures and defiant attitude an Irish sol
dier To leave the ranks and engage i'll single
combat. One thrust from his bayonet
went right through the Sikh, who though
mortally wounded, instantaneously with
his razor edged tulwar cleft his opponents

neck, both falling dead ut the same instant.
After this engagement n Sikh was found

the fire. Bear the ills you have and do
all that you can to alleviate them.
Above all, if You have children, sacrifice
your own worn and weary life to their
fresh young promise. a woman who
has borne child has in manner
pledged herself to bear for that child
what she would not bear for herself, and
great strength comes from a heavy bur-
den well borne. That is the way the
Italian women acquire their Queenly
poise.
But there is still another class. and n
large one, to whom would not proffer
this advice; to whom 1 would rather
say: Save yourselves while you can

this day comes to any wife, the day
when she finds her home ruined, her
womanhood insulted, her self respect
outraged; when she finds that her peti-
tons, her tears, her arguments and her
warnings alike are scoffed and disre-
garded; when she sees that she can do
nothing to elevate the man who persist
emily degrades himself and drags her
down with him; when she fears that
blows may be added to cursing and
coarseness, then my advice to that
woman is, appeal to the law for re-
lease from union which has become a
slavery; annul the contract broken and
despised by the other contracting party;
be free.
Every legal covenant is made depend
ent upon the mutual honesty and good
faith of the covenanters, and if one fails
to fulfill his stipulated obligation the
other is released, often with q compen-
sation for his disappointment.
Is not marriage contract worthy of
as much protection as the copartnership
agreement of a firm of grocers or bro
kers?
Let us do nothing either rashly or with
too much prejudice orconservatism. Let
us, if we would achieve success, seek
''the happy middling' between these two
extremes.
