Country roads are in fairly good con-
dition, despite the frequent rains we have
had lately. A good deal of grading is
being done, but very little is worthy
Of merit, for it generally leaves
the road in worse condition than
it was before. Simply grading up
road with black muck is never suffici-
ent to make a road good; it needs good
top dressing of gravel to make it more
perfect, but unless there is a gravel pit
within easy reach, this is never put on.
The average town officials have as yet
much to learn regarding road d-building

the road, which gradually increases in
size and gets to be mud-hole. 1t is a
great mistake to put these stones in when
filling up road. Use only fine or med
ium gravel take out the large stones and
your road will wear smoother and last
longer. 1t may take longer time to
treat road this way, bat it pays we'll in
the end.

and the morals of the country were be-
ing endangered. The badge of mascu-
line supremacy was beng stolen by
women, and they were actually to be
seen IN public riding bicycles without
long skirts to denote their feminine In
feriority. That was an outrage which
threatened!the sanctity of the home and
the established order Of society, and
worst of all, shocked the modesty and
delicate, sensibilities of the men who
lined themselves ur along the roadsides
to catch every possible glimpse of the
passing figures, and make themselves ex.
pert witnesses of the brazen nature of the
exhibition.
A large part of the community were
unaccountably callous to this new out
