good road at all times Of the year. OF
course more money would make still
better road, but the major part Of our
stone roads are made still cheaper than
this, being made of three loads Of rub
BILE per rod and about one and one
half loads Of gravel at cost per mile
Of $1,12O. There Is not one farmer
that kicks on account of the cost Of
these roads. The kick is on the other
side or because we do not have more
Of them.
The north part Of our township
South of Rockford is very sandy, and
l doubt if the road drag would do
any good there. Here the soil is diff
ferent, and the drag works all right.
I am not saying anything against the
use of the road drag. as I think it a
fine thing, but where stone and gravel
are plentiful l say use them and make
a hard road that will be good at all
times of the year.

Louisiana.
At meeting of the parish superin-

year ago at Baton Rouge. La, the SEN

several Of the small rural schools into
one large one.
A meeting Of the superintendent
was held Dec. IA, 1907, at which the
subject of road improvement was ear.
nestly discussed. The result Of the
discussion was the adoption Of the fol.
Magazine:
Recognizing the improvement of
our schools depends upon the building
and maintenance Of good roads and
further recognizing that 1t is the func-
ton Of the public school to promote the
social we'll being Of its people, it is the
sense of this conference that those
who are directly responsible for the
management Of our schools should give
more serious attention to the problem
of road building, and in accordance with
this belief we recommend that the sub

WHEN HER BACK ACHES.
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping AWAY.

Aberdeen women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life burden
Backache, hip pains, headaches, dir
zy spells, distressing urinary trou-
bles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn
you of the stealthy approach of dia-
betes, dropsy and Brights disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills permanently
cure all these disorders. Here's
proof of it in an Aberdeen woman's
words:
Mrs. A. Mclean, 102 North X

l was suffering great deal from
backaches and dull pains across my

quite an effort for me to regain an

COST OF GOOD ROADS.
Points Of Value From an Illinois High
way Commissioner.

George Stevens, road commissioner
Of eleven years experience in Illinois,
Is quoted as follows by Farm Prog
ress as to the cost Of making good
roads at small expense:
The grading can be done with a
twenty horsepower traction engine at
40 cents per rod on an average. Four
loads of rubble per rod and two loads
of gravel make good road. The av-
erage number of loads hauled near
Rockford, H.. per day would be about
six. OF course this varies according
to distance, but six is about the aver
age. We have no stone crusher, some
thing I very much regret have tried
to get one for years, but the cost OF
same has prohibited it SO far. We
break our rubble by hand.
The cost Of this road is as follows
Four loads of stone or rubble, 40 cents

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and et1ica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public
"For twelve years l had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times 1
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia r. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf,
it will do for other suffering women.

An Egg as the Eorth.

1t will be long while before the
world of science will forget some OF
the late Lord Kelvln's reaSOnings. He
was. for instance. Il firm enemy to those
who held the the interior of the earth

heat. To prove his contention that the
interior of the earth must be solid he
took two eggs, one hard boiled and
the other raw. and. suspending them
by cords. spun them in imitation Of
the earth's rotation. In very short
while the raw egg lost its momentum
and came to rest. while the boiled one
went on spinning merrily for quite q

LABOR SUPPORTERS
EMBARRASS HAYES
Republicans Say Congressman
Should Pay More Heed to
His Own Party

Congressman Red" Hayes finds him
self in rather an embarrassing situa-
ton at the outset of his campaign for
reelection. The congressman from
Edenvale has shown himself an expert
in extricating his political fortunes
from embarrassing situations, but this
one is trying all his patience and max
ing demand on all his diplomacy.
One Of the most active agencies in
the campaign of Hayes for reelection
is the Asiatic exclusion league, of which
O. A. Tyeitmoe is president and A. E.
Yoeu secretary treasurer. Members of
this league, and especially 1oel are
exerting themselves most vigorously in
behalf of Hayes, and that is the cause
Of Hayes embarrassment
Republicans, who. to be sure, are not
too enthusiastic about the Hayes can
didacy, are saying that the red con-
gressman ought to mend some of his
fences in his own party before devoting
himself to his union labor fight. They
resent the activity Of YoeIl and would
like to see Hayes share with some rep
resentative republicans the confidence
which he seems to repose in the labor
man.
On the other hand. union labor men
who sat in the convention which nomi-
mated George A. Tracy, president of the
state federation of labor. to oppose
Hayes have unkind things to say about
the interference of Tveitmoe, Yoell and
other union men on the other side.
These labor men think that Tveitmoe
Yoell and the others are bound by the
action of the convention and can not
with any show of right support an op-
position candidate.
So Hayes is between the devil and
the deep sea He attaches great I'M
portance to the support Of union labor
in fact, he fears Tracy's union labor
nomination more than he does his
democratic support. But the way In
which certain union labor men are ad-
vocating him is making trouble for him
not only with union labor, but also with
the republican organization.
Hayes is SO worried about the situa-
ton that his red beard threatens to
turn gray. And he sees no way out of
his difficulty.

SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 26.-Assernbiy
constitutional amendment No. 8, the
gateway to direct primary legislation
in California, and the benefits TO be
derived from direct primary election
law. was the subject of an address made
before the City club today by George
A Van Smith, political editor of The
San Francisco Call, and secretary OF
the direct primary league of California.
Van Smith went briefly into the evo-
luton of the direct primary and the
history of direct primary legislation,
which in less than decade has swept
one-fourth of the states of the union
out of the control of corrupt political
machines.
He said that the enemies of direct
primary legislation had not produced a
single argument which could not be
controverted by concrete examples of
the experience of partisans in the direct
primary states. The arguments ad-
vanced by the machine enemies of
direct primaries. Van Smith said, had
been identical IN all the states where
fights for primary reform had been
made and won, and he took them up
In their order, disproving them in each
instance with official returns from di-
rect primary states or contrasting the
results of elections in direct primary

The machine man. fighting the adop-
ton of direct primaries" Van Smith
said, will tell you that the people
will not vote at primary elections for
the selection of delegates and will ar
que that consequently they will not
vote at direct primaries. He Will go
into mass of figures to show that in
certain designated year perhaps
less than 2 per cent of the republicans
OF this state participated in the pri-
maries of their party. And then he
will tell you when, in 1908. after one
of the most vigorous primary cam
paigns in the history OF the state. only
20 per cent of the electors of all par
ties voted. the people themselves proved
that they did not want direct pri-
maries and would not employ them. He
will, however, be unable to tell you how
a more conclusive expression OF popular
VIII can be secured from a majority
OF delegate convention IN the selec-
ton OF whose constituents the people
had absolutely no voice, as was true
in this state in May and August OF this
year, than can be secured from even a
plurality OF less than a majority OF a
popular partisan primary vote"
