GOVERNMENT ROAD DEMON.
STRATlON.

present time occupying a larger
share of public attention than
that of good roads. Their value
both in economy and convenience
has come to be clearly recog-
nized and a determined and per-
sistent effort is being made all
over the country, especially in
the South, to solve the problem
of road construction to effect the
best results with the least ex-
penditure of time and money.
And in this effort the Federal
government through the De-
partment of Agriculture has
been an active participant. For
number of years experiments
with all kinds of soil and under
all kinds of conditions have been
conducted to ascertain the most
effective method of building per-
manent roads in every section of
the Union.
From this experimentation
the government has obtained
data which enables it's expert
road-builders to give demon
st~rations- of road building show.
ing a practical solution of the
question. and the services of
these government experts are
offered free to any parish or
county that desires them.
Recently upon the request Of
the people of Baton Rouge,
while the State and National
Good Roads Conventions were
in session, the Department Of
Agriculture had their experts
build . piece of good road there.
An extract from the Baton
Rouge Times published in
another column states that the
work was highly successful, the
road remaining firm notwith.

traffic.
An actual demonstration Of
how to build such . piece Of
road, and the road is said to last
ten years with but little repair,
should be Of the greatest value
to any community. And as the
roads in Lafayette parish lack
much Of being what they should
be, to say the least, without
doubt the people OF the parish
generally win learn with salts

and Police Jury have both passed

The appointment Of John M. Gearin
as United States Senator by Gov.
Chamberlain was not unexpected.
Mr.. Gearin is a Democrat and had
strong backing for the position. In
fact, he had the backing that U. s.
Senators from this state have had for
many years--the law firm Of Dolph,
Simon, Mallory & Gearin. History
repeats itself, it is said, and this Is
the proof of it. Senator Gearin has
made statement for publication, part
of which is as follows

represent the whole state of Oregon.

trict. am native Of Oregon, am

Money in Selling Eggs and Poultry.

Mr.. and Mrs A. II. Hogan of Mo
sier dropped into the Glacier office
last week and gave the editor hen S
egg that was as large as a turkeys egg.
MIR. Hogan said while here that this
specimen of hen fruit was not an un
usually large one tor his hens to lay
and that he had found poultry raising
very profitable. lie said that he
brought the egg in 60 show the editor
that the residents OF Mosier could
raj ise big eggs as well as big apples.
In talking about the poultry busi-
ness Mr. Hogan remarked that while
he only had - hens, they Eept his
family in groceries the entire year.
In addition to this they had all the

young chickens they needed for the
table. He said also that to get good
results from the poultry yard it was
necessary to give the chickens proper
care aud feed.
With eggs and chickens at the price
they now are there surely ought to be
money in the tusiness A lady who
lives a few miles out from town told
the Glacier mai not long ago that she
was getting 100 eggs a day. With eggs
at 30 cents a dozen this isn't bad
days remuneration for keeping
chickens or any other occupation.

"No,r said his companion, "it won't

the prospective buyer, 81 wouldn't

In another column will be found a
very pertinent article on the produc-

there are two sides to this matter, as
in everything else, must be apparent to
every fair minded person. We do not,
however, think it is the intention Of
conscientious growers to work hard
ships to any one in their contention
for a rigid censorship of defective
fruit. Their intention is, we think,
for a remedy rather than kill.all.
