winter should be cut, in half In the

The motion is that of a walking beam.
First the weight draws up the bucket.
Water running into the bucket fills 1t,
and its weight carries 1t down, lifting
the weighted end. When it strikes the
ground, the valve is forced up, letting
the water out. Relieved Of its weight,
the bucket rises, only to fill and descend
again.
The valve in the cut shows the loose
plug with head that completes the
bucket valve. It has a pin, or spike,
through its lower end,l SO it cannot rise
too high and float away. 1t is held down
by water until forced up from below.
This little power is quickly constructed
and is quite effective for light uses

wonder that the people of this section
have gone into the good roads move
ment with enthusiasm.
A state good roads convention has
Just been held at Springfield. ILL.,. and.
although it is the busy season with the
farmers. there was an attendance of
about 200 delegates besides many Wis
TORS. Senator Latimer, of South Caro-
lima, was the principal speaker, and he
delivered an able and eloquent address.
Naturally he devoted considerable at
tention to the principle of national aid
as embodied in the bills introduced into
congress by himself and Col. Brownlow.
of Tennessee. The senator is strongly
Of the opinion that the government
should contribute some of it's surplus
revenues to aid the states in building
good roads. and he has many cogent rea-
sons to offer in support of that PROPOSE
ton. At the close of his address, Sena-
tor Latimer asked all present who
agreed with him to stand up, and all but
three or four sprang to their feet. There
was some opposition, however, led by
Prof. Baker, of the State university, and
a protracted discussion followed in
which the professor came of decidedly
second best.
One of the great obstacles to road i'm
provement in some parts Of the Missis-
sippi valley is the scarcity of material
for building roads. In large portions of
Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas and several
other states, there is neither stone nor
gravel. All the material used in surfac-
ing hard roads has to be shipped in
which adds considerably to the expense.
But the bottomless mud roads of these
sections are such burden that people
are willing to tax themselves heavily to
secure relief. II the national aid plan
should be adopted, the next few years
will see an enormous improvement in
the roads Of the middle west.
Where there is good local material
considerable progress has already been
made. In Missouri there are hundreds
of miles of fine hard roads. The same
may be said of Minnesota. In some To-
calities excellent roads have been built
Of mining Stag. Gravel is employed
where available, and in southern I'LL
nois deposits Of novaculite are drawn
upon and some very fine roads have been
constructed from this material. On the
whole, however, it must be said that
only beginning has been made, and the
agricultural industries Of this section
are greatly hampered by the expense
and; difficulty of getting farm products
to market. II
