for q less expenditure than is now
made on the average road Of the
state.
The best plan for improving every
mile Of road in the county, SO fer as
my observation goes, is the plan re-
Gently adopted after a thorough cam
paign Of the county in the interest OF
better roads, made recently by the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture,
through its representative, Mr.. u.
Ward King Of Maitland, Missouri.
The plan is to divide the entire mileage
OF the county up into short sections
and the county court will appoint a
wide-swake farmer to have charge of
each section Of the road. It will be
the duty of the farmer to drag the
road every time it needs it, and that
will mean after every rain, or after
every thaw IN the winter or spring.
By the present method it is estimated
the county court of Platte county
that the roads are costing for mstn-
tenance from s11 to SIT per mile
exclusive Of bridges, grazing, etc.
the new plan adopted the
court expects to get oetter results at a
cost Of $3.50 70 So per mile This
conclusion has been reached after .ex.
'eriment9 we're carried on by the
supervisor which we're made
lnder the observation OF the members
Of the county court.
Where county courts or township
boards, in counties having a township
organization, cannot be induced 10
make this arrangement, then l would
that in any town OF a few
hundred inhabitants or in any town
in the state where the farmers are
interested in better roads, that a road
organization should be formed, the
road mileage should be apportIoned
among a number of farmers and that
some arrangement should be MADE
with the county court or the township
board to pay the farmers a reasonable
compensation for maintaining their
respective sections of the road. Under
this plan OF organization, every mile OF
dirt road in Missouri can be maintained
in a frsl-clsss condition for eight or
ten months in the year and in a reason.
able condition sll the time, and the
roads will be improved from one
hundred to five hundred per cent over
the present condition.

1t was strictly penny ante, with all
the winnings to go for carpenter work

the first evening. Next day five or six
others had mastered the game, and
the ante was raised to two cents.

him out of the game.

was ahead seven dollars, and all de-
clared it the liveliest game they had
ever had anything to do with. Dea-

stopped over, but after blufing Hiram
Warner out of a fifty-cent pot on a
pair of ten spots he lifted UP mis- voice

man who told US of this game. Never

The peddler himself kept clear OF
all play He explained that he had
won enough on one hand to build

rest on his laurels. BY the time he

was about a hundred dollars ahead,

FIRST OF ITS KIND.
A Floating Target Launched at Brook
Iyn Navy Yard.

New York, April 21.-A floating tar
get the first of it's kind to be construct
cd, viii be launched today at the
Brooklyn navy yard. It is designed for
use not only in testing the accuracy Of
the gunners of the forts along the lower
bay, but IN determining the probable
efficiency Of the heavy ordnance Of the
land batteries against battleships.
The largest is in the shape of a box
30 feet long and u feet on each side.
It will be ballasted so as to stand up
right in the water, leaving exposed u
feet of its length, the free board of an
ordinary battleship. The draught Of
the target, 20 feet is about that of a
battleship, so it can be tOWed to any
point where such a vessel might go.
Steel plates an inch thick are the ma
teriaI of the targets sconstruction. These
are similar to the skin Of a heavy
Warship There are water tight
compartments so the effect per
forations by shot and shell be-
low the Waterline may be noted. With
its ballast the target weighs 100 tons.
Naval constructors and ordnance ex-
perts have calculated the power OF re-
sistance Of the target above and below
water to shots striking it and expect
valuable deductions can be made as a
result of its use.
For the mere testing of the accuracy
Of the guns a target Of different mater
ial will be superimposed upon the float
ing steel hulk
