Morocco's Ruler Kept Busy.

Mulai Hafid, the new sultan of Mo
rocco, is q busy man. He rises with
the sun, and, save for a short siesta,
seems never to have any leisure time
at all. He makes a point Of attending
personally to all state business, holds
reviews of his troops frequently, re
ceives populations from all parts Of
the country, listens almost daily tc
translations of long extracts from the
European newspapers and metes out
rewards and punishments. He receives
many presents. A Fee correspondent
tells how the other day gifts in the
shape Of sacks of gold, bales Of silk
spices and jewelry poured in through
the palace gates and the sultan re-
ceived the value of something like
$125,000 In the course of this one
mornings reception. Among the
offerings was splendid ruby ring
which seemed to take the royal fancy,
for he forthwith put 1t on his finger
and wore it during the remainder Of
the day.

WHEN TO USE A DRAG.
After q Rain and When the Soil
u Moist.

The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist, but not sticky. The
earth then moves freely along the
faces Of the slabs. II the roadway is
very badly rutted and full Of holes, II
may be well to use the drag once when
the ground is slushy. This treatment
is particularly applicable before cold
spell In winter, when It is possible to
have q roadway freeze smooth.
A smooth road surface Is secured by
this method. Clay, when mixed with
water and thoroughly worked. becomes
remarkably tough and impervious to
water. II compacted In this condition
1t becomes extremely hard.
Another valuable result of dragging
Is the reduction Of dust, for the par
ticles Of clay cohere 80 tenaciously
that there is but little wear when the
surface Is smooth. Dust on an earth
road is due to the breaking up under
traffic of the frayed and upturned
edges Of ruts and hoof prints. II the
surface Is smooth after each rain and
the road dries hard and even, no edges
are exposed to crushing and the only
dust which forms Is that due to actual
wear Of the road surface.
There are so many influences at
work and conditions are so varied In
different localities that 1t Is quite i'm.
possible to lay down general rule for
the number Of treatments needed to
keep a road In good condition. says
Farmers Voice. A tough clay or a
stiff sandy clay will resist the action
Of wheels and hoofs for longer pc.
Rod than loan, other things being
equal. Certain sections Of roadway
will require more attention than 9th.
ers because of steep grades, seepage.
exposure to hillside wash, etc. The
best guide in meeting these conditions
Is the knowledge and experience
gained while dragging the roadway.
There is one condition, however. in
which special treatment should be
given to a road. Clay hills under per.
sistent dragging frequently become too
high in the center. To correct. this
II is best to drag the earth toward
the center Of the road twice and away
from 1t once.
In soils full of loose stones or even
small powders the drag has done good
service. The loose stones are drawn
into windrow down the center of the
road while the earth is deposited
around the powders in such way
that the surface is leveled. The loose
stones in the center of the road should
of course be removed. Where there
is large proportion of small stones
or gravel the drag will keep down the
inequalities Of the surface.

substltute FOR Confetti.

The time may be opportune for an
appeal to inventors to consider the
urgent need there is for some substi-
tute for confetti. To admit that rice
was bad Is not to make the substitute
any better. It is comparatively pain
less when thrown, but the ahsolute
impossibillty of removing It from
clothes or carpets without picking It
on by individual particles should be
enough of itself to condemn It IN the
eyes of all reasonable people.

SIXTY DAYS ON PEA
NUTS AND LEMONADE.

On October Is. 1907. began an. ex-
elusive diet Of peanuts and lemon
ade and subsisted on that alone for
60 days.
What did you do It for? Do you
still live on peanuts? How should
peanuts be taken? Have you changed
your mind about their food value?
These are some of the questions that
! am frequently asked.
Such was the novelty Of my expert.
ment, which was undertaken as a
scientific demonstration, that the av.
erage person refused to consider 1t
seriously. The newspapers treated It
largely as joke-except that many Of
them reported toward the end Of the
time that had died-a result which
many were expecting.
For several years I had been test
ing the relative values OF foods by
living for time on one alone and
recording the results. Incidentally

the beet interests of Colorado will be
safer in Mr.. Bryan's hands than in
Mr.. Taft's hands.
There was no quibbling or lodging
of any phase of the question. The
Republican papers that are trying to
defeat Bryan and Shafroth in Colo
RADIO on this issue dare not print
Shafroth's explanations and argu-
ments along this line. He proved
conclusiveIy that with Taft president
the beet sugar industry is certain to
suffer terribly owing to his long
cherished desire to allow Philippine
sugar to come into America, that the
very carrying out of the Republican
platform policy regarding the Phil

LABOR LEADERS ARE
TO MEET in DENVER
Especial to The Sentinel. I

Denver. Oct. 21.-One of the most
important conventions OF the year
will be held in Denver, beginning
November 8, when the American
Federation of Labor will hold its
annual session. The session will
doubtless be of the greatest interest,
since it will follow the national cleo
tion, and the result of the Gompers
declaration in favor of Bryan will be
apparent. The coming election is
looked upon as a crucial test of the
political influence of organized labor.
If the results of the federation's ven
ture into politics should not be sat
isfactory to the rank and file of the
members, an attempt may be made at
the convention next month to return
to the old policy of abstinence from
participation in political activities.
The Socialist delegates will probably
make an attempt to oust President
Samuel Gompers from the position of
executive head of the federation.
