They Ars Valuable For Preserving Ar
 tielcs of Food.
 The fern plant. which grows almost everywhere, Is an excellent preserva- tive for packing articles of food, fruit etc People who have lived In Eng land know that the English have used 1t successfully for many years. Val uable fruit, fresh butter. etc. are no longer seen in the English markets packed in grapevine leaves. but almost always in fresh fern leaves, which keep the articles excellent.y. This Is done where grapevine leaves are to be had in abundance. Every one posted well in botany knows the high preserv- atiye power of fern leaves with refer ence to vegetable and animal sub stances.
 On the Isle of Man fresh herrings are packed In ferns and arrive on the market in as fresh a condition as when they were shipped. Potatoes packed in ferns keep many months longer than others packed only in straw. Ex- periments made with both straw and fern leaves in the same cellar showed surprising results in favor of ferns. While the potatoes packed in straw mostly showed signs of rotting in the spring. those in ferns were as fresh as if they had just been dug.
 Fresh meat Is also we'll preserved by fern leaves. It would seem as If the highly preservativc qualities of fern leaves are due to their high percentage of salt. No larvae. maggots, etc, ap- proach ferns. as the strong odor keeps them sway.-New York Times.

"chic z PerkiDs is coming.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-07-01

The fact is obvious to every person
who knows the need and value of good
roads. 1t will require a continuous
campaign of not less than 10 years to
provide the county with system of
good hard roads; so why not begin the
work at once if we of the present gen.
Grafton expect to derive any benefit
from them?
Yakima county today contains pop
ulation of over 10000, yet there are
men among us, comparatively young,
who can remember when this vast ex-
panse of territory, now teeming with
life, was but barren sagebrush plain,
with only here and there a sign of
mans habitation. What scene of
stupendous activity will present itself
to the eye of the observer at the end
of another decade can now only be
left to the imagination when Yakima
county will be peopled with probably
not less than 100000 human beings,
the great majority of whom must live
by means of the intense cultivation OF
our bountiful soil.

KING COUNTY ROADS.

At a recent meeting of King County
Good Roads Association Frank Adams,
road building expert said:
81 have stood by the road side
where new highway is building and
given the high sign to an auto driver
who stopped his machine so that he
not only cut through the binder but
tore a hole in the macadam. Now
a machine that will do that is going
some violating the state law and en-
dangering our lives.
"Such automobile road hogs are not
alone, for the farmers will insist upon
driving into ruts, tearing holes in the
macadam and refusing to divide the
load upon a road just like they would
divide a load on their wagons. Ii we
are ever going to get and keep good
roads there must be cooperation be-
tween the builders and the users, the
former to provide permanent high
way and the latter to use 1T scientlf-
ically."
1t was shown that forty miles OF i'm
proved roads have been completed
or are in progress, of which 28A
miles are county roads and 6% miles
are state aid roads.

BUILDING MODEL ROADS.

while it is not part of the scope of
the work of the Office of Public
Roads," said Mr. M. o. Eldridge, one OF
the officials of that Department, Ito
construct good roads, as such, it is,
under authority from Congress, within
our province to give expert advice on
good construction, and this has been
interpreted to mean that short
stretches of model or example roads
may be built. The object-lesson roads
of the Department have been of great
influence in the improvement OF the
roads of wide sections of country.
ct is we'll known that throughout
the country, and more particularly in
the rural districts, there is steadily
growing demand for information as
to the best methods of road construc-
ton; at the same time, considering
the country as a whole, it is probably
true that in no phase of our national
development are we so backward as
in the extension of hard and durable
roads. 1t also happens that in locall-
ties where the people have awakened
to the Importance of road improve
ment and are willing to eXpend money
therefor, owing to ineXperience or lack
of organization, the money is partially
if not totally wasted. In other COM
munities, abundantly able to support
a system of good roads, very little
work is done owing to a lack of knowl-
edge of what can be accomplished
with the resources at hand.
ct is in just such cases as these
that the work of the Office of Public
Roads is proving of signal advantage

will make personal investigation of
the effect automobile traffic has had

investigation he will go over the
French highways where automobile
traffic has been inquired into and
where the exact effect is understood.

in the educational value which it
exerts, and in practical demonstrations
of what can be done. These object les
sons in good roads construction must
obviously be localized, to great ex-
tent, as for instance, it will not avail
one section of the country which had
decided to improve it's dirt roads to
know that in another section a model
macadam road is being constructed.
I'm many cases, in which the De-
partment is not able to construct OBJ
iect lesson stretches of roads, the en-
gineers of the Department are never
theless able to give advice that en-
ables local authorities to work to
much better advantage than they 9TH
erwise could. Where only small
amounts of money are available for
road improvement it is frequently bet
ter to improve the highways already
existing than to attempt the construc-
ton of macadam roads.
Special attention has lately been
given by the Office of Public Roads to
this phase of the question-rendering
assistance to communities which are
providing betterment rather than re-
construction, and the Office has thus
been able to bring out some important
facts regarding the use of sand, clay
and burnt clay for road improvement
in large areas of the country where
stone material is not readily avail
able"

ALL WANT GOOD ROADS.

A good roads campaign has been
launched in California which has met
with such approval at the hands of the
public that the two leading political
parties have practically decided to
make one of the strongest planks in
their platforms a declaration for
bond issue to improve the highways.
The suggestion came originally from
Governor Gillett at a good roads con-
vention in Stockton.
The governor proposed bond issue
of $1S,000,000, which he figured would
build 5000 miles of road, each mile to
cost approximately $4,000. This would
give the state a broad macadamized
road or oiled road from the Oregon
border to the Mexican line along the
coast, touching all the important shore
cities; a second road running the
length of the San Joaquin and Sacra-
mento valleys; third east and west
across the state, and network OF
feeders running into these main arter-
les. In this way the road question
in the state would be solved for all
time to come as the expense OF main.
tenance would not be heavier than the
burden now carried by the individual
counties.
The governor made strong appeal
for the adoption of his plan. Com
merce, he said, travelled along the
highways, and poor highways stifled
trade. He figured that the resultant
good to the state in increased tourist
traffic would almost in itself compen-
safe for the outlay. The suggestion
has been made that the state appro
build the roads with the money.

contract for building two miles or
road between Seattle and Bothell Tor

MR.. HISGEH IN NORFOLK.

The editor of THE COMMON
WEALTH was in Norfolk Thurs
day night and heard Mr.. Thos.
Hisgen, of Massachusetts, the
nominee for President on the
independence ticket. He was
accompanied by Mr.. Clement
Pollard, who delivered the first
speech of the evening to an
audience of about 500 in Odd
Fellows Hall. The meeting
was presided over by DR.. Rid
dick, Mayor of the city of Nor
folk, and he introduced the
speakers in words of welcome
and in terms of appreciation OF
their visit to the South.
Mr.. Pollard spoke easily and
somewhat iiuently, declaring
that the two old parties have
failed to give the people OF this
nation the proper government,
and that the new independence
party stands on a platform Of
reform that will not take every
thing out in promises. He was
heard with close attention.
Mr.. Hisgen, the candidate
and nominee for President, fol
lowed, his arguments in the
main being that the Republi'
can party supports and perpet.
yates the trusts, and the Dem
ocratic party is following Bry,
an who changes his opinions
and policies so often that the
people do not know what to ex.
pect of him.
Mr.. Hisgen claims to be
fighting single-handed the
Standard Oil Company, anc
seems to think he will whip il
out after a while.

Of women to appreciate and re-

who surrender their own COM

crowded trains, but the subject
needs a good deal more atten-
ton. Again and agian we have
seen men yield their places
without SO much as a smile Of
reward on the face of the one
who has been favored. In fact,
the expression on the face of
the woman would sometime in
dicate that the securing of a
good seat was an offense for
which the law ought to provide
suitable punishment. No won

OF some slight recognition of
the courtesy of yielding a seat
would produce a fine effect
which the ladies would profit
by. The women are not all
given to this rude behavior,
but the few who are in the hab-
it of throwing cold water on
their benefactors make it hard
on the whole sex, and lower thu
dignity of womanhood. What
if the man who gets up and
gives his place to a lady is not
well dressed, is that any reason
why she should not be polite:
Courtesy is a beautiful grace
and it is quite as attractive in
a woman as it is in a man
