The excavation is filed up 10 the
height desired for the roadway, and
thus the road consists of body OF
earth nearly or quite two feet thick
compacted as firmly as it is possible
for roller to compact it. The the
DRY is that IL this road is thoroughly
drained, so that it cannot be under

on the top with drag whenever 1t

In a long editorial devoted to the
Randell resolution offered at the
San Antonio convention, the Green
vile Herald has this pertinent para
graph: 1T occurs to the Herald that
those delegates who considered this
amendment a reflection upon Sena-
tor Bailey were themselves reflect
ing upon the senator, and not Con-
gresham Randell.' A great many
democrats, regardless of their posi-
ton on the so-called Bailey ques-
ton, will agree with the Herald in
it's deductions Senator Bailey has
Endorsed from the stump the princi-
plies incorporated in the Randell
resolution.-WaXaha Light.
That is so. Senator Bailey has de-
clared from hundred stumps that
he has not accepted employment
from public service corporations
and therefore when his friends at
San Antonio voted down the Randell
resolution on the ground that ii
would be reflection on Senator
Bailey" they did not manifest a very
high appreciation of his word

whether an ordinary mechanic could

to him, but whether he would make

which are prompted by his skill and

For example. If II man constructs out
Of iron machine which had previous

thereby become an inventor IN Il legal

A road making experiment was
recently conducted at Bement, Plat
county, Mo. that will no doubt be
watched with great interest by the
,armers in that section of the coun-
try. II was conducted under the di-
rection of the state highway COM
mission and was intended to demon
strate the advantage of the highly
compacted earth as an element in
the permanency of the roads. A
stretch of road half mile or more
in length was excavated to a depth
of twenty inches 10 two feet and the
earth thrown out at the side. Then
an enormous steam roller was put
into this excavation, which is about
twenty feet wide, and the bottom
rolled down as solid as it could be
made. Then the excavated earth was
thrown in by degrees, drenched with
water and rolled thoroughly, and so
on until the excavated earth was put
back. This rolling process is so rigid
that the earth thrown out will not
nearly fill the excavation, and to
complete the filling up ample bitches

THE ART OF ADVERTISING.

In recent address before the ad-
vertising clubs of Kansas City and
Topeka, Mr.. William Thompson, of
Kalamazoo, Mich, formerly mayor
Of that town, who has made for
tune in his business, said: No adj
.vertising is too expensive to justify
the outlay If it will get the business.
Cheap advertising Is dear at any
price and is pretty nearly worthless
even though it costs nothing. You
can't get something for nothing any
time, or at any place, and this is
doubly true when the advertising
proposition is being considered.
Il have tried all kinds and classes
Of advertising, and find that the adj
ness is almost worthless when ap-
piled to another. Keep everlastingly
at it, is the secret of success in ad-
vertising, and the bigger the space
the better the results to be expect
ed. Don't squander your money for
advertisements too small, for it Is
not the little things in life which at
tract attention, but those things
which are out of the ordinary.
In the first place, to make sue
cess of advertising the merchant
must have an article of merit to dis
pose of and sell it at such price
that the advertisement will appeal
to the prospective purchaser. 1t has
been said that advertising is an art,
but / cannot agree with that descrip-
artist. Advertising is the study of
human nature, that is all there is to
it,
IF you feel that your ad, which is
a small one, is not paying you, do
not discontinue it, but get more
space. l know that suchl advertising
is expensive, but it Is the kind which
pays. and it does not matter how
much it costs you as long as it
brings the desired results. You
can't get something for nothing, SO
pay, if necessary, big prices for good
advertising, and get big results
Now this is little sermon on ad-
vertising by a practical man, him
self large advertiser of wide ex-
perience. 1t is worth reading and
needing
The trouble with many advertis-
ers, says the Houston Chronicle by
way of comment on the above, is Of
ten not that they do not spend mon
ey enough. although that is the
truth with some of them, but that
they do not sufficiently interest
themselves in their advertising AS
in religion, faith is necessary, and
good works. A man must believe in
himself and believe in his business
! and devote his brains and energy
| unto making the people believe in
| both by reason of the right sort of
advertising.
| Inc thlng TO DO is to get out OF a
| rut. Avoid imitation. Do not follow
lead Get something new An ounce
| of Imagination is worth a ton of
| routine.
There is no doubt that the present
| is the age of advertising. Fortunes
| have been made by judicious adver-
| Using and many men have thereby
attained competency. The philoso-
ply of it is to let the public know
| where they can get what they want
and also by suggestion to create an
artificial want and increase the ma
| tural want. Once the ad gets lodged
in the mind of purchaser, he will
| not rest easy until he buys.

MILES AFTER
EASY MONEY

The police department is making
considerable of joke out of De
tective" George Miles efforts to
get in on the reward of $500 which
the w. w. P. Co. offered for the
arrest and conviction of the
streetcar holdups. One of them
was pointed out to Miles by Jimmy
O'Brien, who, thinking he was to
secure immunity, gave the police
considerable evidence which other
wise they would not have secured.
Miles had passed the holjup sew
eral times without suspecting him.
Between O'Brien and Minnie. the
Jap girl who out of pique told on
Stub Cassidy, the police had moth
ing at all to do but place the thugs
under arrest. Deputy Sheriff Mac
Pugh and Long, Detectives Macdon-
aid and McDermott, all of whom
made arrests in the case, desire the
Jap girl to have the reward, If 1t
is really boni fide. Miles is the
only one who is opposing the girls
claim
A Tacoma officer who carried out
police instructions and arrested
Clarke Yarnell, one of the holdups,
may also come in for share, but
it is believed that If he understood
the circumstances he would with
draw his claim in favor of the girl.
1t is understood that the COM
pany will pay the money into court
and leave If there to be divided II
any payment is decided upon.
