Judge shield's Dead.

settlers in Reno county died last Satur-
day afternoon, aged rs years. His
funeral was held at the M. E. church
on Monday, Rev. Severance assisted
by Rev. Sommerville conducted the
services.
Judge L. S. Shields, as he was best
known, was born in Giles county,
Tenn, Sept. 90, 1917, when a small
boy his father moved to Illinois, where
he grew to manhood and where he
married Anna Landers, Nov. 27, 1912.
His young days were spent in the
mercantile business. He became ac-
quainted and was a personal friend of
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen a.
Douglas. In April 1856 he mo we'd to
Iowa, locating in Poneshirk eouaty
and for a number of years he was en-
gagged in railroad contracting. He YVES
one of the pioneers on the Union Pae-
iae and western roads. In the fall of
1870 he moved to Kansas, first stopping
at Cottonwood Fall where he soon fell
into his old business of railroad con-
tracing, when he continued to make
a business up to 1882, when he gave it
up for the quieter avOeations of life
He ever was a public spirited man and
was aggressive only when opposing
that which he considered a wrong. He
was kind indulgent father. hFm aud

A Curious Road Foundation,

The highway or road authorities at
Martha's Vineyard, town in Massa-
chusetts, found, in building macadam-
lied roads, that upon loose, sandy soil,
much stone is wasted by being driven
into the sand. In such cases gravel,
when accessible, has been placed upon
the sand to depth of three or four
inches and the stone laid on this. Bv
SO doing the cost is greatly reduced.
There being no gravel at Martha's
Vineyard, cheap cotton cloth has re-
Gently been spread upon the sand, and
over that the stone. It has been found
that the sand does not then work up
through the stone, and much less stone
is required. Layers Of tarred paper
were tried, but without success, as the
stone pressed through them. This is
probably the first road foundation ever
made with cloth. The following mate
rials have in various places been used
as road material, namely: Cork, COM
pressed hay, marble, pins, India rub
ber, oyster and other shells, lead, iron
and steel.-Tit-Bits.

selfish Landowners,

How many farmers and others, too,
whose places are destitute of fruit and
shade trees? Again, how many rented
places are devoid of trees of all kinds?
Has the landowner ever stopped to con-
slider that a small orchard, few yard
trees around every tenement house, will
greatly enhance the value, attract and
hold a better class of tenants, make life
more enjoyable and that, too, at prac-
tically no cost? We tell you, there is
great deal of selfishness; we look
abroad and see how stingy and selfish
many are with their tenants, and often
times perchance some good farmer
rents his farm and moves away, and is
SO selfish as to reserve all, yes, all the
fruit produced, denying even this to
the tenant. Landowners owe their ten
ants and public generally duty by
planting at least a moderate quantity
Of trees. This is wise public policy
G. p. Robards, in Ornamental Tree
Growing.

and when ice is wanted they are
opened, one outward, the other in
ward. Often a stairway leads from
outside down under the bottom of tho
icehouse, where milk, butter, etc., are
kept. When the framework and board
ed-up sides of the house are completed,
the earth excavated is graded up around
the house, SO that the water from the
roof falls we'll out upon the earth, and
runs away outside. The mound is
sodded, and when such a house and
mound are well constructed, they are
On ornamental object in the back yard.
Ice slowed in such a house keeps we'll;
ladder is used to enter when the ice
gets too low to step in upon it.
Such a house will Lao many years.
With greater expense in using woods
that will not readily decay, such as
cypress, the house is good for lifetime.
A sketch is shown in thercut. All doors
must fit tightly by being rubber or cloth
lined. If dry sawdust or powdered
TO fill the air space in the wall and roof,
SO much the better. However, if the
walls of the house are made tight, so
that the air between has no circulation,
they are good non-conductor. Shade
trees growing on the south side of the
icehouse assist it. Such house is
somewhat expensive at first, but in the
long run will be found cheap. It ought
to work well in the dry, well-drained
soils of the Panhandle of Texas. The
ice should be cut in blocks, and stacked
in solid, like bricks, to be pried apart as
wanted.-T. v. Munson, in Rural New
Yorker.

lean think of better method for keep
ing ice in Texas than that generally
used in parts of Kentucky, Tennessee,
Virginia and other warmer states. A
circular hole IL, Is or 20 feet (according
to the capacity wanted) in diameter,
like very large we'll, is excavated in q
high, dry piece of ground, to the depth
oe to 10 feet, and where it can be
drained at the bottom into pervious
strata of sand or gravel t.low, or by
sewer. pump or siphon pipe to lower
ground. When the excavation is COM
pleted, strong, double-walled wooden
framework is put in, the outer boards
resting against the earth and prevent
ing caving in; the inner boards are
nailed on the inside of the frame, so as
to leave an air space of, say, 4 or 6
inches all around. This framework is
extended several feet above the COM
mon surface of the ground, then drawn
in conically all around, and rooted over
with conically roof. Double doors ore
made in one side of the conical roof;
through these the house is filled.
When filed, they are closed tightly,

A Lost State.

The united States, compared with the ma
tions Of the old world, is but creation Of
yesterday, and it is seldom that one can dig
up forgotten facts in its history. Bow
many know that there was once Estate Of
Franklin" organized. though never admit
ted to the unton2 The present state Of Ten
nessee was originally q part Of the grant of
lands made by Charles II. to the colony Of
North Carolina. Subsequent to the Revo-
lutionary war, in tho year 1874, the legisla-
ture Of North Carolina passed an act cedinR
t. the United States all that part of their
state lying west Of tho mountains Suppos-
ing this would be accepted by congress, the
people Of Washington, Sullivan and Green
counties declared themselves independent
Of North Carolina and organized the State
Of franklin" In 11s5, however, North Car.
oliua repealed the aot Of cession Of tho pre-
vious year, but these counties remained out
until 17oS, when they again acknowledged
the sovereignty Of the s'Old North State. !"
This was the first secession that occurred
In our country, but no fuss was made about
i, and It died sst quietly. In 1890 North
Carolina again oeded the territory to the
general government, and shortly after Ten

union. Since then many now states have

WHY THE sILo PAYS.

Until every farmer has silo, it is in

who have silos to bear with us if we

patience; or do better, help us spread
the truth.

A sample of the way road money is
wasted has been shown on Monmouth
street during the past week. There
were some holes in the roadbed and
they were filed up with clay and gravel.
Then men were set at work shoveling
the sand and dirt out of the cutters,
and the sod and grass that had grown
there, and this was thrown on top of the
clay and gravel. If a sand road is
wanted there's no use of going to the
expense of putting clay and gravel on
it, for the foundation of the road is
send, before any top-dressing is put on
it; but it's double waste of money to
cover up the sand with clay and gravel,
and then cover up the clay and gravel
with more sand.-Red Bank Register.
