machine with a strong front end capable
OF carrying the load close to the team
than 1t is to put all OF the load back

Our front wheels, wide front axle, big

cost from $500 to $500 more than the
cheap kind. and 1t adds at least $1,000
to the value Of the machine.

Our pole is made OF tough oak. The
single trees and double-trees are made
of hickory. The single-trees are turned
round, regular farm wagon style.
You would not think Of buying a farm

THE WEIGHT.
or the GREAT WESTERN seventy
bushel spreader is 1880 pounds. You
know that big load win pull easier
on heavy wagon than IL will on a
light wagon. 1t Is just so with a
spreader, only more so because n
spreader has more to do. A light
spreader win soon twist out Of shape
and cause binding and cramping, and
when the main frame commences to
twist 1t throws every part OF the ma
chine out Of alignment. You will see
difference In the draught. You will
have trouble and breakage.
Most other seventy bushel spreaders
weigh from 1900 to 1900 pounds. You
know that a machine weighing 1880 or

BreVitieS.

A member of the graduate department
of Johns Hopkins University has found
that the manliuS and salina lime stones
the uppermost members of the Silurian
system OF rocks, cross MARYLAND in seven
or eight places. One of these, probably.
is the fossil called "greenbrar, rather
blonde-stone, esteemed by some Frost
burg street supervisors and road builders
as final dressings for highways, but dis
esteemed by house-keepers as too airy
and volatile for chamber and parlor
decoration, and by the Board of Health
as furnishing too much sediment for
atmospheric inhalation. Indeed, it is
declared that III this instance what is
dlsagreeable as household utility is in
sanitary as stlmulant of lung power,
But as 1t was utilized this way last and
part OF this year it will have to be
scattered ON some street or streets again

o why should Frostburg, in the name of
public improvement, continue to wage
war upon its owners of property? Why
is Frostburg kept behind other places in

A Plain Duty.


In his speech of acceptance William j.
Bryan said
The voters are the sovereigns; the officials
are the servants, employed for fixed time
and at a stated salary TO do chat The sorer-
eigns rant dome, and to do it in the ray the
sovereigns want it done.
If this be true-and it sounds like it,
the manifest duty of the Mayor and
Council of Frostburg was to let the
Union street paving matter go without
owners, and establish the work there
done as precedent for all future street
paving improvement.
The resistance encountered on that
street to the forced cooperation plan
furnished pungent lesson illustrating
its un-American character and an ideal
opportunity for abandoning it.
But have we?

as well as uninjured.
But i'll this case the "sOvereigns" were

Europeans have discovered that
"Amerlca is Startlingly Backward in

They don seem to know, however,
that 1t is unconstitutional over here for
the government to spend money collected
from townsmen and farmers on streets

For harbor, river and ocean naviga-
ton, however, in which the vast ma.
jority of townsmen and farmers have no
direct interest, it seems to be not only
constitutional but imperative.
The result is Legislation which is not
