HINTS ON ROAD WORK.
Continued from page A.

The persistent and powerful
enemies of earth roads are water
and narrow tires, and the con-
slant effort of the men in charge
of the roads should be to guard
against their destructive effects
and remedy all damage as quick
ly as possible. The simple i'm
Elements which have been found
to be of greatest assistance in
this work are the pillow, the
drag scraper, the wheel scraper,
the road grader, and the split
log drag.
With a sandy soil and a sub
soil of clay, or clay and gravel,
deep blowing so as to raise and
mix the clay with the surface
soil and sand will prove benefi-
cial. The combination forms a
sand-clay road at a trifing eX-
pense. On the other hand, if
the road be entirely of sand a
mistake will be made if it is plow-
ed unless clay can be added.
Such blowing would merely deep
en- the sand, and at the same
time break up the small amount
of hard surface material which
may have formed. If the sub
soil is clay and the surface scant
in sand or gravel. ploving should
not be resorted to, as it would
result in a clay surface rather
than one of sand or gravel. A
road foreman must know not on.

which according to the above in
structions should be plowed ov-
er it's whole width, the best
method is to run the first furroW
in the middle of the road and
work out to the sides, thus form.
ing a crown. Results from such
blowing are greatest in the
spring or early summer.
In bitches a pillow can be useo
to good advantage, but should be
followed by a scraper or grader

nothing better than the ordinary
drag scraper has yet been devils
ed. For hauls under 100 feet,
or in making fills" it is espec
tally serviceable, It is a mistake
however, to attempt to handle
long haul material with thi.
scraper, as the wheel scraper il
better adapted to such work.
For hauls of more than 800 feet
a wagon should be used.
The machine most general,
used in road work is the grader

is especially useful in smoothin.

came the simple forms and gradually
the more complicated, a panel of roses
being my browning achievement. How
proudly | carried it home to a still
prouder mother! Was it not perfect?
! Were the roses not wonderful? Later,
when the study of botany came to claim
my attention, how | was reminded of
my clay roses! They seemed to come
to life, and with surprise | remembered
the component parts in the petal and
leaf studies as | had learned them years
before. All through school life ! found

many a happy hour | have spent teach

a secret joy to me in those days.
Later, when assuming charge of a
class in music it was necessary to train
the pupils in singing and acting in or
der that the customary "schOol con-
certs" might be given. Again the kin
~dergarten work came to the front and
an awkward, ~self-concious little band
were transformed into earnest, joyful
children who performed the parts as
signed them with ease and utter I'M
conscious grace.
In days of motherhood my own little
ones have proved to me that, as Troe-
bel says, 1--WE must launch the child
from it's birth into the free and all-sided
use of its powers" And while the
busy mother may not find time to do
this, the kinderffarten is here to open
the way, and comes with motion songs,
se~nse-training and all the many aids to
self-development to solve the problem.
kindergarten training also brings the
heart of a child lear to Mother Nature
and reveals the wondrous mysteries
that are hidden from many of us.
whereas they should be a part OF our
birthright.
Hamilton Mabie says: childhood is
defrauded of half it's inheritance when
no one swings wide before it the door
into the fairyland of Nature; a land in
which the most beautiful dreams are
like visions of the distant Alps, cloud
like, apparently evanescent, yet eter-
nally true. How many children live all
their childhood in the very heart of this
realm and are never so much as told
to look about them. The sublime mira
Gle play is yearly performed in their
sight and they only hear it said that it
is hot or cold-that the day is fair or
dark"
How we'll l remember the opening
song of our kindergarten, GOOD Morn
ing, Merry Sunshine" With this
cheerful salutatory began our day. One
of the many finger songs was entitled,
'Thumbkin Says, IN Dance" Each
of the fingers had a name and all the
way through they danced. The little
finger was "Pinkey." This finger work
helped me to control my fingers in the
days following when piano practice
loomed like a bugaboo on the horizon
OF life. Another little song called our
attention 70 the moon. The first verse
began:
80, mother. how pretty the moon looks
tonight!
She was never so cunning before
Hertwo little horns are SO sharp and so
bright:
| hope they won't grow any more
Was not this a novel method Of in
~teresting the tiny ones in the crescent
moon? And how the imagination was
appealed to all through the verses.

A Testimonial to the kindergarten.
BY MAUD X. LILLY.

Having watched with interest the
growth of the kindergarten movement
in Tupelo, | am much gratified to learn
that so able an exponent of this form
of teaching as Miss Lily johnson has
assumed control, and | trust that her
articles on this subject in the Tupelo
Journal will be widely read.
1t is with the object of stating the
benefits of Kindergarten from a pupils
standpoint that the writer submits the
following gratuitous and entirely unso-
licited testimony:
Twenty-Five years ago | entered kin
dergarten and the memories of this. my
first experience in school life, r as
clear today as if some master hand had
swept back the curtains of those many
winters and summers that intervene be-
tween the Then and Now. Today | am
teaching my little boys the selfsame
games and songs that az child | learn
ed to play and sing.

suggestion. What a debt the whole
world to Troebel and his followers! But

and clowning the road and in
opening bitches. A clay subsoil
under a thin coating of soil
should not be disturbed with a
grader. 1t is also a mistake to
use a grader Unfortunately and
to pull material from bitches
upon a sand-clay road. Not in
frequently turf, soil and silt
from ditch bottoms are piled in
the middle of the road in ridge,
making mudholes a certainty.
1t is important in using a grader
to avoid building up the road too
much at one time. A road grad
ually built up by frequent use of
the grader will last better than
if completed at one operation.
The foreman frequently thinks
his road must be high in the first
instance. He piles up material
from ten inches to a foot in depth
only to learn, with the arrival of
the hrSt rain, that he has FUR
nlshed the material for as many
inches of mud. All material
should be brought up in small
layers, each layer well puddled
and firmly packed by roller or
traffic before the nextssis added.
A common mistake is to crown
too high with the road machine
on a narrow road.
The split log drag should be
used to fill in ruts and smooth
the road when not too badly
washed. The drag possesses
great merit and is so simple in
construction and operation that
every farmer should have one.
A specirl article will be publish
ed later telling how to make and
use the drag.

Judge Russell sustained the two
contentious Of the defendant corpora
tious, that the state courts were
without jurisdiction of the Federal
courts on account of the fact that
the question involved was one OF
Interstate commerce, and the laws
adopted by the state are sufficient
to deal with the question of prohi.
bition that arises within this STATE.
The court also took the position that
the federal government relinquisned
all claims TO act as guardian Of
the Indians when the tribal form OF
government became extinct, and when
the Indians were made citizens Of the
state.
