Loyalty" observed the old railroad
man; that is a thing of the past in
the railroad world. There was a time
when a man who worked for a rail-
road looked on himself as part of the
machine He was fixture and it was
his ambition to have all his friends and
relatives in the service of the company.

lowed by Huntington and Crocker

man from robbing the company of a
minute of time or of a postage stamp.
About the smallest performance of
the railroads." grumbled the old en-
ploye, lis for them to think that a
man would steal their postage stamps.
so all the railroads have got permis-
sion from the postal authorities to per-
forate the stamps they buy with their
name. l wonder If Stanford, Hunting

rest easily If they knew that the old
Southern Pacific had become so warv

odorless end pustless Roads.

Consul T. II. Norton, writing to the
state department from Chemnitz, Ger
many, says that>a Saxon firm has in
troduced & road binding composition
which has been tried on the lnacadam-
lied streets of Leipzig and other places
with much success. The material is
| thus described:
1t is mixture of the hcstvier resid-
ual oils obtained in the distillation of
coal tar with high boiling hydrocar-
bons. The method of mixing apparent
ly involves a certain degree of chem
ical combination, in which phenol and
similar constituents play q role. The
manufactured material is prepared for
use by heating IN iron caldrons, iden-
ticai with those used for asphalt, to
temperatures ranging from 212 10 2iS
degrees Il. 600 TO 120 C.). 1t is then
| sprayed evenly over the surface Of a
roadway with special form of ap-
paratus and under such high pressure
that the fluid mass penetrates to GER
tain distance into the upper layer of
| dust or dirt. The result is the forma-
ton of a compact lustrous black coat
ing which meets the demands of heavy
traffic and is not disintegrated into
dust particles. A marked advantage of
| the new process oven the methods hith-
and based upon the use of ordinary
tar is the tota! absence of odor after
the application.

That Kings method was successful,
and he extended his operations until
he was dragging all the road in front
of his farm. His neighbors took it up,
and in a few months the road from his
farm to Maitland was as good as any
in Missouri.
George R Ellis, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, heard of Mr..
Kings good roads methods and invited
him to speak at the farmers institute
in his neighborhood. He accepted, and
being an enthusiast on the subject, he
made several converts. he was en-
gagged for a series of lectures and has
turned over his farm to others and is
devoting all of his time to preaching
the gospel of good roads. Good roads
meetings have been held in various
parts of Missouri and hundreds of con-
verts have been made. After every
rain in Missouri hundreds of farmers
drag the roads in front of their farms,
and the humber of these volunteer
road workers is increasing every week.
