Ladies' Home Journal. ''The old
method was to run a plow through the
side bitches and throw the disturbed
soil. sod and all, in the middle of the
road. There it would stay till q heavy
rain came to wash this soil back into
the bitches and fill them up again. If
there were money enough this kind of
thing would be done over and over
again, as often as four times in q year.
Where there was wet spots broken
stones or gravel would be placed in the
road and left for the passing wagons to
wear this metal into ruts. The money
spent was absolutely thrown away.
by the new process all the road

and outlets for them, and then to
shape the road that the water falling

away and deepening the ruts. When
there are wet places, such as springs,
in the roadway, gravel and broken
stones will not cure such things. The
water must be drained off underneath
the roadway and into the bitches by
means of pipe OF blind drains. The
whole thing is so simple that any one
can easily master the principles and
put the details into practical opera

he wrote a will bequeathing all, save
a life interest to Mrs. Smith, to his be-

A few days later, with all due cere-

by the side of other Smiths. John How

What She Had Not Learned Was Not
Worth Knowing.
She was a winsome young wife, all
sweetness and pink shirt waist.
"Oh, Harold" she twittered over the
newspaper, "it is perfectly dreadful to
have war and to read in the news
papers day after day of how the poor
soldiers are being killed, wounded and
missing, but it Is an Ill wind that blows
no one any good, and, while there must
be all kinds Of horrors, there is In 1t
all an education for many who would
not otherwise be educated"
He had never heard her talk in such
strain before, and he was greatly
surprised, not to say alarmed.
"Why, DEAR" he replied, noting her
closely, what is itS''

He stared at her quite helplessly.

she went on, or would have gone had
he not stopped her.

she did not wholly approve.
"Of course, do, stupid" she re-
sponded with confidence. ga machete

gun is machine gun, and what's the
difference, I'd like to know. 1t seems
to me that some people haven't learned
as much about the war as they have

fore the smiling Harold and stepped
out upon the piazza, where she could
commune with herself undisturbed.
