Making a Good Highway,

A good road can be made by
putting in a layer of large or me-
dium- sized stone, then on that a
layer ofcrushed stone, and on that
a covering of gravel, and rolling
thesurfaced down hard and smooth.
But that is not all that is needed
A part of the skill is like the old
gentleman S rule for making good
coffee: "When you make it put in
some". We have been watching
the work on a bit of road this sea.
son. There are about three inches
in depthof theround cobblestones
one inch of crushed stone, and one
inch of gravel and loan mixed,
which, by wetting and rolling, has
been so pressed down into the
stones that it is now less than a
half inch. If it were whitewash-
ed after it was rolled it could not
look much better, but it might be
more durable We think before
one winter passes, the larger
stones will be at the surface and
the covering will have washed
away or settled down below them.
Ia close proximity to strip built
by the State as an example of how
to build a good road, it is likely to
furnish an equally good example
of how not to make good road.
1t is one of these cases, too com
mon where the town thought TO
give employment to its own citi-
zens, instead of hiring the work
done by contract, when it would
have been better to have employ
ed a competent man, with able
bodied help, and supported its
cripples from the towns poor
fund, than to have paid them 10
for eight hours loafng, or trying
to do that which some of them
were unable to do by reason of old
age, and others we're utterly in
competent to do well, while few o
them cared for, or took any inter
est in any part of the work, except
ing drawing their pay.-Ameri

Cremated Her Husband.

The train was leaving Clearfield
when a young woman in the rear
of the car began to cry violently.
SO loud were her lamentations
that a young man, who sat oppo-
site, went over and tried to com
fort her.
"You seem to be in great grief,
madam, " said he. SIS there any
thing | can do for you?'
mo" " replied she between her
sobs. "I've just had my husband
cremated."
On healiug this, an elderly
lady in the next seat also began to
cry violently.
The young man went from the
younger to the elder woman and
asked if there was anything that
be could do for her.
She Strengthened up and replied
in a naughty tone:
"No, there is nothing. I'm GO
years old and never had a hus-
band. Now please do something
for this poor woman who has them
to burn. "-Exchange.

The Most Important Lesson,

The most important lesson for
young man to learn who wishes
to amount to anything in this
world, is, that to look after his en-
ployer's interests is the best way
to serve his own. The world
needs faithful and efficient young
men more than anything else. II
has no use at all for lazy and friv
olous men who have no other OBJ.
ject in their work than to put in
the time in the easiest possible
way, and whose only delight in
labor is to hear the whistle blow
for quitting time.
The man who is afraid of earn
ing more than he gets is in no dan
ger of ever getting more than he
earns. When a man is working
for another he should not forget
that he is working for himself
If his work is well and cheerfully
done it reflects credit on him and
creates a demand for his services
that will inevitably increase his
wages.
Intelligent service and useful
Ioss is the only real honor. Men
are important just in proportion
to their ability to do things better
than other people. Good work
never goes long unappreciated
You can never create demand
for yourself by whining about the
injustice or unappreciatiyeness of
your employer. When a man
works he is materializing his soul,
giving expression to his intellect,
his skill and his character. That
is why a moral and intelligent

laborer than an immoral and ig-
norant man.
We Judge men by their work.
A man with slovenly morals is
sure to be slovenly in his work,
Ifhe loves truth, justice, beauty
and integrity, all those things will
be made manifest in the product
Of his toll.
Unless a man puts his soul into
his work he can never hope to sue
ceed; and in order to do superior
work it is necessary to have a su-
perior soul. Young men who real
ize this and labor with vim and
enthusiasm toimproye the quality
Of their work and realize that they
are always working for them.
selves, and for nobody else, are
sure to make a success Of life, for
such men are in demand every.

Better Country Roads.

AS spring comes the destruct-
ion which has been wrought by
the winter storms on badly CON
structed roads is revealed. The
well made roads have suffered lit
tie and will not cost much in re-
pairs butin poor roads much work
has to be done at considerable eX-
pense.
Every year such roads have to
be remado, and experience has
shown that in the course Of n few
years they cost much more than
if good roads were made in the
first instance, while with such a
system there are never any roads
fit to depend upon. The farmers
in some Of the townships have be.
come tired of this sort of thing and
have called meetings to consider
the question: nofsuch road improve
ments as will be reasonably per-
manent.
by working together in this
matter with thoroughness and
understanding, excellent results
may be had, and of incalculable
benefit of the farmers. There
ought to be such a movement all
over the State.

Monessen, Pa.

Monessen is one of the best
business locations on the-Monon-
gahela river. There is in course
of construction, steel plant that
will, when complete, cover twenty
acres Of ground. A large addition
is being builttO the tinplate works.
A large number of men find en-
ployment here, and there is room
for more. Fulton county young
men are in evidence here-espe-
cially, is Union township well rep
resented. Among those her e
from Union are Il. J. Scriever,
Clay and w. l.. Hendershot, Fred
and Daniel Hoffman, Gilbert Dud-
ley, Emory Stable, Luther Hoop
engardner, and j. G. Shank
most of whom are engaged at car
penter work.
Owing to the fact that this is a
new town, and much building be-
ing done, there is a strong de-
mand for carpenters, who recent
ly formed union and made a de-
mand for $500 a day, which de.
mand was granted at once.
| would suggest to any of our
Fulton county friends who may
be looking for employment for the
summer thatit could be easily OBJ
tanned here at any of the towns on
the river, and at good wages.
