Why do we urge you SO

Because boiling clothes
makes them tender. There is
a scientific reason for it. You
take advantage of this natural
law every time you boil a piece
of tough beef. 1t becomes
tender because water at a high
temperature weakensthe fibre.
The same thing occurs with
clothes when they are scalded or

weakened and fabric becomes tender.

Dear Sir; You manage men and
machinery, no one knows better than
you that one man In worth more
than another; that one machine is
worth more than another machine.
Sometimes you pay the man more.
sometimes you don't: sometimes the
machine costs more. sometimes IL
doesn't. The difference is. sometimes.
two or three to one, and costs not a
cent.
So with paint and more too: the
paint that does best service makes a
less first cost OF the job-ynu can
paint Devoe at less expense than the
meanest stuff you can get.
1t is like a good steady man or
machine: but goodness and steadi-
ness have to he paid-for In men.
In machines not always. and never
in paint. Paint is cheap in proper
ton To- strength.
1t Is pure paint that Is steady and
good; 1t IL paint adulterated that IL
tricky. There isenough paint in the
worst of these mixtures To look and
feel like paint, aud enough adulter-
ants (whiting. china-clay. barytes.
ground stone. benzine. water) to
make two gallons of one.
There are eight pure paints in the
United States; we know Of no more:
there are 200 adulterated. We am

spring and summer. Water be-
comes ice in winter and as water in
freezing expands one-eighth its
volume, the road heaves out Of
shape and when the ice melts the
road disappears beneath the rising
tide of mud constantly fed by rains
melting SHOWS and underground
springs.
In seepy and DOGGY places the
sub-drainge in order to be fully
effective should lower the water
level to not less than three feet be-
low the road surface. Most fail
ures in tile drainage can be at
tributed to carelessness In laying,
or too flat grade. Tile less than 4
inches in diameter should rarely
be used, nor should a grade of less
than s inches to the 100 feet be
used unless absolutely necessary.
In a very dense soil, it is always
advisable to cover the tile to at
least depth of 6 to IL inches with
coarse sand or fine gravel. Care
should always be taken to secure
free outlet for the drains and to
protect the outlet with a concrete
bulkhead or catch basin, which
can always be kept clean and the
outlet free.
The kind of tile to be used de-
ponds on local conditions. Con-
crete tile if properly made are
equally as good as clay tile. Which
kind to use is entirely local ques-
ton of dollars and cents. If con-
lcrete tile can be made more cheap
| ly than clay tile can be had, use
concrete; If not, use clay tile.
One great advantage of the con-
crete tile is that they can be east
ly made by the local users at OF
near the place where they are to
be placed, SO that the freight
charges are dispensed with as well
as the large breakage losses due to
handling. Placed in the ground,
both are durable. If concrete is
used, great care should be taken
to see that a good grade of Port
land cement is selected, and that
the drains are properly construct
ed. The impression, which pre-
! walls to some extent, that tile dis
integrates is erroneous.
| A bulletin is now in course oil
preparation by the United States
Office of Public Roads telling how
to make concrete drains. This
bulletin will treat the subject fully
explaining carefully every point
that may arise in making drair
pipes and culverts.

Importance Of Drainage.
Kidding Roads Of Storm and Underground
Watar Subkct Of Thoughtful Paper
Sent out By U. S. Office OF
Public Roads.

With an average of q, 900 tons of
water falling in the form of rain
on each mile of public road in the
United States annually, it is scarce-
to be marvelled at that the ten COM
mandments of the road builder can
be summed up succinctly in the
word drainage"
: The saying has truth for basis,
a good drainage is the primary
requisite for all roads. Even III
sand roads this holds true, for there
"good drainage" means such as
will safely remove the storm water
without any erosion or Outlying and
still retain the surface moisture.
To secure good drainage one
must take into consideration both
the surface water and the under
ground water. The surface water
must be removed quickly and COM
pIeteiy and without subjecting the
road to excessive scour or erosion.
For this reason, the center OF the
road should be raised aud the slope
towards the side bitches should be
from / to l inch to each foot dis
lance, or SO that the water will run
freely to the side bitches and not
flow down the road or remain in
puddles on the roadway. The side
bitches should be of ample size to
care for the severestseorms with a
fall of not less than 6 inches to
100 feet. Frequent and ample
cross drains should be constructed
aud every opportunity taken to get
the water away from the road as
quickly as possible. Any road
along which you see water stand
ing in the side bitches or on which
puddles of water water have col
lected or which has been badly
quilted aud eroded by the rains
has poor drainage aud is in need
of immediate attention. In fact
earth roads nearly always require
a little attention after each rain
The split-log drag is essentially q
tool to maintain good drainage on
our earth roads, and should be used
after each ram. The split-log drag
is essentially a tool to maintain
good drainage on our earth roads
aud should be used after each rain
On a heavy clay or gumbo soil the
drag when properly used tends te
puddle the road surface, keep il
free from ruts, dense, smooth ane
hard, thus securing the best sur
face drainage possible.
But in many places the under
ground water is too near the sur
face and must be removed before
good ROAD will be possible. Thi
means that some form of Sub
drainaee must be resorted to, usu
ally tile drains, of clay or concrete

/ For 40 early in the season some Of
these days are quite warm. The
weather is very favorable however,
for farm work, and the seeding is be-
ing hurried along as fast as possible.
i On Monday of this week our young
friend, Tom Eide, started for Dakota
with the intention of looking the
country over, and if he finds anything
to suit him he will pr 'bably take: a
homestead. Well, Toms friends will
wish him success in his venture.
Mrs. Ida Milton, former Ran,
somite, but now of Worthington, was
calling on relatives and old friends
here few days ago. Mrs. Milton has
the care of the county poor so that
she is not able to make any longer
visits. She made good use, however,
of the little time she had, and was
able to see quite good many of her
old friends. Her many friends were
greatly pleased to see her.
Mrs. Mons Sorem is getting along
as we'll as could be expected, though
she will not be able to leave her bed
for some three weeks yet. It is
thought that the accident will leave
her slightly crippled, perhaps.
Next Sunday there will be an
Easter service at the M. E. church
here. A short program has been pre-
pared.
One day last week a number Of
Ransom farmers marketed hogs at
:Bigelow receiving $3.50 per hundred
for them. They happened to strike
the market just right. Rense Bentz
took in five loads. Lucky man.
Health is better than wealth.
Money is very convenient thing to
have, no one will question that, but if
in order to get it a man must over
work as to ''break down." he had
better do without it. As people we
are perhaps, little to much on the
'"rush" TOO eager to get rich no matter
at what cost. Wealth without health |
is worth but little. If we would give
more attention to caring for the health
it would be time and care we'll spent |

As It Turned Out, Lawyers Were Un-
necessarily Excited.


necessarily Excited.
In a suit in a Maine court not long
ago there was adduced line of tes-
timony that created some excitement.
A witness had testified that he saw
the defendant "splitting up rails a
few, hours before the accident for
which defendant was supposed to be
responsible.
what did he say he was going to
do with the rails?" asked the counsel,
fixing the wandering eye of the wit
ness with his stern gaze.
Before the witness could answer,
the defendants counsel was on his
feet, insisting that the question was
not allowable. A prolonged wrangle
ensued. Various high authorities for
and against the admission of the ques-
ton were consulted and quoted.
During all this time the witness
shifted from one leg to the other, and
gave vent to several prodigious
yawns. AS the controversy waged
hotter and hotter something like a
smile was seen to pass across his
face.
At last the judge ruled that the
question must be allowed and while
the defendants counsel, exhausted
with rage, leaned back in his chair
excitedly, the query was put once
more:
What did the defendant say he was
going to do with the rails?''
"Nawthin,," drawled the witness. II
