season and their shade produces a
dampness in summer which is undesir-
able The building of macadam roads
has materially changed conditions.
Trees do make moisture, and that is
what is wanted to preserve and pro-
long the life of the stone road.
The highways of France are noted
for the beautiful trees along their sides
and the French road builders recognize
their value in affording shade and mOis-
ture, the latter being considered an es-
sential element in maintenance.
Fruit trees and walnut or other nut
bearing trees can be made to yield a
profitable income as well as to furnish
shade and add beauty to the landscape.
Flowers in the yard close to the road
side are always attractive. How to
beautify the roadside is certainly q
matter that cannot be given too careful
consideration

STUPID ROAD WORK.
Piling Weeds In Center Of Highway
Worse Than Nothing.

Piling Weeds In Center of Highway
Worse Than Nothing.
There is no more familiar sight in
Missouri these days than to see men
in all parts of the corn belt working OH
the highways with graders building
up the center of Il road with mixture
Of weeds sods and soil, says the Farm
er and Stockman. In a recent drive
Of nine miles the roads on more than
half the distance had been operated
on some weeks before and the center
piled high with the mixture named
above-that is, weeds, sods and soil.
The plan of going over the roads in
the county with heavy grader an
nually is stupid beyond any power Of
description. When this is done the
work of one year simply means the un-
doing of the previous years labor, and
as result such roads are usually in Il
constant state of unfitness for traffic.
Our knowledge of good roads has come
through practical experience and, in
cidentally. through the loss Of much
perspiration Our conclusion as the
result of this experience Is that road
makers should aim to build perfect
piece of earth road each year. We real
ixe that it is often necessary to employ
makeshift methods In order to really
make all roads in the county passable,
and because OF this it is not expected
that the labor of the year will be put
on few miles of road.
1t is impossible to imagine poorer
kind of road material than weeds and
sods, and yet. as stated above, you will
often see the center of highways piled
high with this mixture. When it be.
comes necessary to pile dirt in the
center Of the road those doing the
work should take the time to now
rake and burn all rubbish before start
| ing the graders.
| When this is done 1t is, then possible
to make some kind Of decent job Of
leveling the surface when the work il
completed; otherwise the traffic center
simply becomes an ideal mudhol,.
Weeds soon decay, ana as the result
one has almost ideal conditions for tn
absorption Of water.
You have, in other words, humul
making material on the center Of you
road, and such material, as every on
knows, retains moisture with re
markable degree of persistency.

THIS WON'T DO. MR.. HAGER.

For the first time since The Her
aid gave to the voters a full and au-
thoritatlve statement of Semonin' s
dealings with the state auditors de-
partment, Mr.. Hager has attempted
a reply and explanation. OF all the
many lame statements that have Is
sued from that gentleman in his eff
forts to defend lost cause this lat
est is the most decrepit
In the first place, Mr.. Hager, with
lack of manliness that throws a
discreditable sidelight on his charac-
ter. tries to put the blame for his
own neglect on the man who is down
and out. He says Semonin must have
dated some of his checks back.
Suppose this were true, does it ex-
cuse the state auditor? The dating
back of checks practiced with the reg
ularity that il must have been, ae.
cepring Hager's version, would IN 1t.
self be a proof that something wa.
wrong to a vigilant official. Only the
grossest incompetence could account
for its being overlooked. Does Mr..
Hager offer Incompetence as an apol-
ogy for his failure to act? II so, he
has given excellent reason for reject
ing him as a candidate FOR higher Of
fee.
In the second place, he pleads that
clerk in the Office may have been
tardy to the extent of a day or so in
recording the checks. But this does
not explain a months delay. and even
longer in some cases. A clerk so dill
atory as that should long ago have
been dismissed from the service of
the state. Mr.. Hager is responsible
for his clerks.
In the third place, he fails TO make
any explanation at all of the fact
that there was no check for March.

How many people realize the i'm
portance of having man as police

sympathies for the unfortunate, OF
answering firmness with the crimi-
mails; young man aspiring to greater

There is opportunity for the dis
play of judgment in the police court.
There are also opportunities for the

playing the game of politics with the
fortunes of the criminals and unfor-
tunates as pawns. There Is every
sort of influence and pressure
brought to bear on the police court
prosecutor, and to Withstand them he

plement If their vicious vacations, and
who know how to find and reach

quilted of the charge of conspiraes
to defraud the government out of
valuable Idaho timber lands. The
case was submitted without argument
on the. part of the defense and the
jury was out just long enough to
take one ballot. The verdict was
greeted by cheers and applause,
which the court officers made no eff
fort to restrain. This demonstration
in the court room served only as a
beginning. As soon as the news reach
ed the outside. bells were rung and
the fire department made a spectacu-
lar run through the principle streets,
stopping eventually at the Idaho Ho-
tel, where Senator Borah. surrounded
by several hundred of his fellow citi-
zens, was escorted. Senator Borah
thanked his hearers for their demon
stration and for the confidence they
had reposed i'm him throughout the

MISS VANDERBILT TO
BUY AUSTRIAN TITLE

New York. Oct. 3.-Miss Gladys
Moore Vanderbilt, the richest heiress
in America. worth S12.5OO,OOO in
her own right, is TO be the next
American girl TO wed a title. The
announcement OF her engagement to
an Austrian nobleman will, 1t is said,
be made this week at the Breakers in
Newport. and the probability is that
the announcement will be made at or
after a dinner given in honor of the
young man, who is expected to be a
guest at the Breakers before the end
of the week.
Thus far the Vanderbilt family has
only told few intimate friends, and
these are pledged to secrecy so far as
the name of the fortunate young man
is concerned. 1t was one of these
who returned from Newport today
and mentioned the fact Of the en-
gagement, but refused TO dlvulge the
name Of the nobleman.
1t is said that while travelling
abroad Miss Vanderbilt met the
young man who Is to be her husband
in one Of the capitals of Europe. and
that il was almost a case of love at
first sight. He is said to be the ex-
eeption to the rule that has marked
the marriage Of most girls of wealth
in this country to men of title. mas
much as he has money, that his es-
tates are not mortgaged. and in addi-
ton he is a handsome, athletic chap
and an officer OF one Of the crack
Austrian regiments.
