Tennyson or Longfellow could take

that's genius, Rockefeller can write
a few words on sheet Of paper and

tai. A merchant can take an article
worth rs cents and sell il for Sl-that's
business. woman can purchase a
So hat, but prefers one that costs $27--
that's foolishness, A ditch digger
works ten hours day and handles
several tons OF earth for $125-that's
labor. The printer Of this can write a
check for $9O0OO,00O, but it wouldn't
be worth dime-thats rough. A me-
chanic can take material worth So and
make it into springs worth 1000
that's skill. There are other jewelry
houses pretending to carry as good
goods and sell as cheap as Kennon
Mott, the jeweler-thats gall. Every

Washington, Feb. 26-The naval
authorities here do not attempt late
tonight to conceal that they are maxi
Jog active preparations to.put the navy
on war basis. All vessels available
are being equipped, and supplies on
board the ships and at sssiations are
being increased. Everything looks
like war. secyetary Long has ssked
congress for 500 extra sailors, but
Bouteile, chairman Of the naval COM
mittee, refuses to call an extra session
of his committee. It is thought that
the policy of Czsr Reed against war is
prompting him. The Asiatic fleet has
been ordered to assemble at Hong
Kong. 600 miles from the Philippine
islands, to be ready tOnRake a quick
descent upon them.
The president VIII demand an in.
demDity from Spain; this Is authors-
tatiyely stated, II refused it viii
mean war. There IS ne doubt chat
the administration prefers to settle on
1 money basis than on one Of powder
and shot, but between the financial
proposition and its acceptance stand
the people Of the two countries. While
the governments might wish to settle
by. the payment of an indemnity in
money, the people may refuse to allow
anything OF the sort.
There is a semi-ofiicial report given
out today that this government win
make demand for an nifty Of
s25, 100000 from Spain. Such an ir-
demnity as this. il is believed, would
undoubtedly be refused. It would be
considered exorbitant by spain and
the Spanish people would rise against
1t.
Back Of this indignantly plan lies an
other. 1t is SAID; one which will iead
to war as surely as. an open declara-
tion. Undoubtedly the government
of SPAN would try to meet q demand
for indemnity, but the people of Spain
would resent its payment as keenly as
the American peopleresent, even now,
the proposition to ask one, The ad-
minIstration Will not he able to hide
itself behind international law in ask
Ing for an indemnity.
There are too many cases now pend
ing " here nations are occupying ports
for trifiing reasons in comparison to
the one which would be given for the
right Of the United States to selze the
port of Havana. The most recent Of
such cases is the occupation of Kiou
Chou peninsula 10 China by the Ger
mans on account of the death of two
missionaries by foul means.

It is because of the potash they con-

fruit trees. Farmyard manure contains
a certain amount of potash, but the
nitrogen it also contains is apt to cause
too great growth. 1t contains too
great proportion of nitrogen to pot
ash, hence wood ashes come in well to
supply this deficiency. Every farmer
should save his hardwood ashes in a
dry place, 80 that they will be in the

the lack Of practical knowledge of the
civil engineers and the lack of theoret-
ical knowledge of the highway super
visors.
But, even with this school of men,
who have been educated to build the
roads, there have not been enough to
go around in all the localities where
good roads are needed, and where there
is money to build them. A man who
thoroughly understands road construc-
tion to-day may easily get position.
What is needed is the educated man,
who not only knows how to build cost
ly, ideal road, but one who can econom-
ically construct an eight-foot country
road-a man who knows both the the
oretical and practical end of road con-
struction. This is the style of grad
uate which the Rhode Island institu-
tion aims to turn. out. y At the
end of the course, they will have grad
uated man who can plan the highway,
draw the contracts, and who is able
TO run the machinery to build the road;
Il man who knows the business from
the hoe handle to the tripod, from SHOW
cling coal under the boiler of the steam
roller to drawing the plans-a road en-
Vineer.
"There are n number of openings
which a practical road-builder may fill.
He may become road expert for The
United States government. BY passing
the civil service examinations of the
road division, department of agricul-
ture, he will be put on the list of eligi-
bles, and as soon as a vacancy occurs
will receive an appointment from the
government. Then, the builders of road
machinery have constant call for
men to set up their plants in the various
towns and cities which are constantly
acquiring such equipment. They have
to send with the machinery men who
know all about operating it. AS rule,
the men they send out are shop hands,
and beyond the rule-of-thumb expert
ence with these identical machines,
they know but little. The builders say
there is constant demand for road
builders with these plants, and that
they consider that this is a good field
for young men.
'But the largest field for men edu.
Gated as road-builders will probably
be found as highway superintendent
among the various counties and towns
There are few first-class men in this line
and, with the spread of the good roads
movement, the demand for such experts
Is growing"
