PLEASANT VALLEY.

Miss Lizzie Bankard, who form
erly resided for years at this place,
has returned to her home in Wake
field Valley. She spent several months
with Mrs. VIM. Yingling and Mrs.
Harry Devilbiss. Miss Lizzie has the
entire sympathy of many friends on
account of being an invalid. While
here our good ministers held services
at the respective homes where she Wis
tied and many of her friends, did all
they could to- make her suffering
easier to bear by giving socials, and
entertainments, notably a graphic
phone rendition by Levi D. Myers, for
her benefit. Just how much easier
it made her cross to bear we know
not but it gratif1ed us all to do the
little we could for her. Her patience
and christian fortitude make us sing
My consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till death shall set me free.
A number of our citizens have fin
ished repairing their houses and
barns, which look very nice. Jacob
Lawyer is following suit by giving
his house fresh coat of paint. i1

Saving the Roads.

Automobiles have ruined so many
macadamized roads that an interna-
tional congress has been called to
meet in Paris on October 18th to con-
slider plans for saving the roads. The
macadam road, as every one knows,
is composed of layers of crushed stone
held together by binding material
rolled into the surface. This method
of paving was devised for the use of
iron-tired vehicles. AS the iron
bound wheels roll over the road they
crush the small stones, and the dust
sits into the crevices between the
larger stones and binds them more
tightly together. With judicious use,
such a road improves with age. The
automobile, however, runs on an air.
filled rubber tire. This tire, instead
of crushing the small stones, sucks the
dust out from between the large
stones, and the wind blows it away,
leaving the road-bed rough and I'M
even. Road experts on both sides of
the ocean have been seeking for some
surface dressing that will seal the
road when once made so tightly that
the rubber tire cannot draw out the
binder by suction. Oils with asphalt
tic bases, coal-tar preparations and
calcium Chord have been used with
some success in allaying the dust and
preventing the wear of the roads, but
they are not wholly satisfactory either
here or in Europe. - $3.50 49,.

Marse Henry Speaks.

All the way from Lagrange, Oldham
county, KY, comes the following adj
dressed to the editor of the Courier
Journal:
While you are whooping up W. j.
Bryan for President do not forget John
Sharp Williams for Vice-President, the
man that is standing in the thickest of
the fight. No Democrat in the United
States has done more for the party
than he. Remember, party can lose
nee for the Vice-Presidency. He
should be true and tried statesman,
one that could fill the first place we'll
in an emergency. The party cast off
Adlai Ewing Stevenson in 1896 and
lost by it. Taft, with a suitable run
ming mate, will be hard to beat; there
fore, let the Democratic ticket be
Bryan and Williams. John Mitchell
would be a serious mistake and lose
the race"
Our correspondent writes in strain
of refreshing confidence, and we give
his suggestions entertainment, because
they do not lack for relevancy. Adlai
Ewing Stevenson is good man and a
popular man-though we hardly think
he could have saved the ticket in 1896
and John Mitchell is not to be light
ly dismissed. But, with six years be-
fore him in the Senate would John
Sharp Williams like to take a four
years term as Vice-President? Will
he not be more valuable on the floor
than in the chair? Cleveland made
a sad mistake when he took Bayard,
Garland and Lamar from an arena
where they counted for something and
put them in his Cabinet, where they
were merely head clerks. What is the
matter with Johnson, of Minnesota,
for Vice-President? His friends say
he won't have it. Nonsense! That
was what Hendricks friends said
twice, and twice he fooled them!-

Men. Not Machines.

What the American workingman
wants is good wages, paid promptly,
steady employment and the right to
do what he likes with his money"
said large employer of labor while
in Omaha last week. In this he
touches on the vital spot in the re-
lation between employer and employ
ed. This man had been detailing the
results of an experiment that he had
carried on in his own works in the
way of paternally providing for his
workmen. He had installed baths,
gymnasium and other appurtenances
for the purpose, he thought, of anne
liorating the condition of his work
men, but his baths fell into dusty dis
use, his gymnasium was neglected and
his other efforts were quite as fruit
less. He is philosophical enough to
admit that he was mistaken. Nothing
in his experience tends to give him
the impression that his workmen do
not battle, that they are not interested
in athletics sports and paStimeS or
that they do not care for books and
magazines. His conclusion is that
his workmen prefer to do these things
for themselves, and without the adj
vice or assistance of the employer
in any way, save as the employer
shares with the men on equal footing.
The employer who realizes that his
men are men and not machines is
certain to reap the largest reward in
service in the end, while the general
cause of society is better subseryed
by maintaining the spirit that induces
the workmen to provide for them
selves, rather than to i1lculcate spir-
it of servility under which the work.
men will expect to be provided for.

Heat That Brings Wealth.

City jewellers to whom midsum-
mer heat brings only discomfort, find
little satisfaction in the official as
surance that the weather is favor
able to the growing crops Yet it is
fact that a period of heat in June,
however unwelcome in town, may
prove of far-reaching Importance in
the country, and may make all the
difference between a great crop OF
grain and poor crop-between ma
tional prosperity ana the reverse.
June is critical month in the
wheat fields. The winter crop is
practically safe, but not so the spring
wheat. There have been promises
OF fine crops in the June reports that
vanished in the percentage reported
in July. = This wear the. late reports
indicate a -record-breaking yield in
spite of cold wet May A cold and
wet June might yet blight this fine
prospect; sunshine and high tenn
perature will make it secure. This
is just the weather that is needed.
Not the wheat only, but the corn,
the oats and, above ali, the grass re-
spond to the warm wave" Towns
folk are disposed to jocular view of
the farmer and his anxiety about the
weather. They are accustomed to
take the weather as it comes, and the
farmer appears to them a discomfort
ed and impracticable person. But the
farmer knows his business, land under
stands how far not only his immediate
gains but the whole national wealth
may be affected by the uncomfortable
vicissitudes of cloud or sunshine. If he
rejoices when the hot June sun pours
down upon his fields, it is with rea-
son, and reason that ought to bring
cheer to those who must endure the
heat amid the bricks and asphalt.

Republican Comprehensiveness.

The Republican ticket and platform
are as comprehensive as de-
partment store. You can find anything
and everything you want there.
If you want Roosevelt policies,
there is the head of the ticket pledged
to perpetuate them. If you don't like
them, there is the tail of the ticket
who represents the reactionaries. If
you want tariff revision downward you
can depend upon Taft; if you want
tariff revision without any up or down,
there is the platform, promising that
the tariff shall be revised and care
fully SURPRISING all illusions to the
direction. ve+~' ~ a
If you are a farmer and want good
roads but object to paying for them,
you can find in the platform some
very nice sentences about good roads
which suggest that they ought to be
made without expense to the. farmer,
but promise nothing of 81 the sort.
Everybody is in favor of the expansion
of the American merchant marine,
and the platform comes out strong
for that. There is a wide difference
of opinion regarding the expansion by
means of subsidies and the platform
leaves this detail up in the air. -
If you are an employer you will
find a recommendation that the prac-
tice in the matter of injunctions be
left as it is. If you are a labor lead
er you will find that injunctions ought
not to be issued without notice unless
the Court shall see fit to issue one
without. And whichever you are, you
will find clear and definite declara-
ton that the law of injunctions should
be specifically defined by statute.
Whether the judicial discretion should
be enlarged or curtailed is a matter
of detail regarding which nothing is
said.
Whatever your views about the
currency maybe you'll find the plat
form is with you. 1t declares une-
quivocally for the best currency in
the world 1t is too. polite to say

Too Much Furniture.

Most people have far too much fur
niture in their houses, and certainly
the majority indulge in too much tex
tile fabrics. Too many curtains, too
many antfmac CAESARS, too many mats
and cushions. All these things col
lect and hold dust, and curtains shut
out fresh airgand sunshine. Carpets
especially in the rooms we sleep in,
would abolish. avs
The bedroom carpet Is snare, and
the sooner it makes its final exit the
better for the family health. That
great artist and critic, William Nor
ris, once said: Have nothing in your
house that you do not know to be use
full or believe to be beautiful" This
is counsel many women might take
to heart, thereby mating their homes
more healthy, a very great deal more
beautiful, and undoubtedly far easier
to keep clean and orderly"
