Putting Them on Record.

themselves with respect to the move.

candidates appeared and all put them.
selves on record in favor of the meas
ure proposed for bringing about a
better road system.
The good roads advocates have done
well in lining up the candidates and
getting an expression. Those who ars
elected will be committed to improve.
ment, and there will not be much
chance of a misunderstanding. The
plan would be good one to pursue
in the election of members of the
Legislature. All Legislators do not
stand hitched" after committing
themselves, but some of them do. and
it is we'll for the people who elect
them to know Interviews on questions
of public policy before they are
elected.
The people OF Alabama recently
adopted constitutional amendment
providing that the excess money from
the hire of State convicts be expended
on the roads. Legislation will be re-
quired to put the amendment into ef-
feet, and it is desired that a State
Good Roads Commission shall hS
created. With all the candidates for
State officers pledged to helm alo0o
the movement the prospect of secur-
ing the needed legislation is greatly
enhanced.
1t requires a lot of hard work to
carry a good roads campaign to
successful finish, as We in Kentucky
have reason to know. The Alabama
people, however, seem to be going
about it in the right way and with a
determination that recognizes no
chance of ilure.-Louisville Coyr

For Florida Good Roads.

Governor A. ". Gilchrist awaited
himself of meeting Of the Florida
Press Association 10 further the work
for good roads in the State. He cited
returns from circular inquiries TO the
Circuit Court clerks OF all the couu-
ties TO show that there are now in the
State 2120 miles of hard roads, 624
miles OF graded roads and 500 miles
of strawed roads, with a number of
counties NOT reporting many miles Of
natural hard clayed roads, while four
counties have recently voted an az
gregate OF s1.500,000 to be spent
upon the Improvement of their high
ways. He seemed TO favor the at
tainment of system OF roads travers-
ing the State, not through general
taxation, as being unfair 10 counties
that have already spent much in road
building, but BY prolo1ging and unit
ing county roads under county aus
pices.

Linen Closet.

To one house with large rooms and
plenty of closets there are hundred
apartments so cramped for space that
q good-sized linen closet is an IN
heard-of luxury. But. since linen
closets are a necessity TO the careful
housekeeper. there is nothing TO do
bur 10 make one.
A practical closet may be made Of
packing cases, one. two, or three. as
one needs them and has room for
them. Fasten the lids with hinges
and line the sides and bottoms with
unbleached calico. in which. if de-
sired. might be stitched pockets TO
hold sachets or sweet lavender. The
lids should be padded outside with
horsehair and Z permanent rough
cover stitched on. Over all is fitted
a neat cretonne cover. with q fiounce
hanging around the sides. If posi-

Lining Land.

Which is bettert to use on land, caus-
tic lime or ground umstone?
The former is much quicker in &C
ton, and II put on in excess may eat
up" much of the humus. But in
quantities Of two to four tons per
acre it is considered safe
The ground limestone is much
cheaper, but is slower in its action.
The coarser grains will gradually
yield lime for several years. II is
perfectly safe and should be used as
freely as four tons per acre II one
does not feel able 10 put on SO much
try two tons. The whole question
OF lining land is not well understood
On some land crops, especially
legumes. respond wonderfully 70 its
use, while on other land its eNect is
not noticeable and both tracts may
lie close together. Ii is 4 gooi plan
TO lime one acre or ten acres. leaving
wide strips without it. On land need
ing it badly it will pay 10 lime heav-

The Real Test.

The kitchen is where the real test
comes. Here is more prose than poe
try. and it takes the best efforts of all
concerned to keep order and harmony
in this domain. System is the key to
the situation. Plan your work a day
.ahead-see that wood, water, and
hood are all at hand before you sleep.
Then know at what hour you need to
rise; set your alarm clock, and obey
its earliest summons.
In summer there is no better
breakfast than coffee. fruits. melons,
butter, eggs and cream, with good
old-fashioned buttermilk and honey
in the comb. All these are available,
too, on q well-regulated farm.
Dish-washing is an item, so pre-
pare for it. Have big boiler of hot
water. and an abundance of cold,
plenty of clean cloths and drying
towels. If you have no sink, use a
ten-gallon pan or basin set into a
hole TO fit it, on the kitchen table.
Some really good soap and a willing
mind are all that is needed TO make
dish-washing endurable. = Pre- g"-s-
siye Farmer.

Spirit of the Times.

Colonel Sam Wilkes, of the Georgia
Railroad, recently made an address
on Rapid Transit the Spirit of the
Times" Reviewing the era of cleo
tricity, the coming of the automobile
and the airship, Colonel Wilkes, con-
Guiding, said:
Every county should get the most
improved road machinery and build
good roads throughout its entire con-
fines, so that the greatest possible
saving of time and labor in transpor-
tation would obtain. On such roads.
q farmer can haul twice the number
of bales of cotton or twice as mu1a
hay, corn or any farm product. III
can hook his team up and carry a
small or large load to town and re-
turn home in half the time and fire.
quently he would carry small amounts
OF his products on good roads that it
would not pay to carry over poor
roads. Development is coming rap
idly, and the county that does not get
into the push will be badly behind the
times.
The age OF advancement is now
upon US. The earth, the sea, the air
are all conquered by the progress Of
the times. Rapid transit is the spirit
of the times. Gentlemen, l hope yen
will set into the game"

New Type of War Airship.

\ new type Of airship will be added
o the German aerial fleet this spring.
The new dirigible belongs 10 the non
rigid system and differs in several
important points from other types.
In shape il is similar 10 torpedo.
rhe envelope of the balloon is colored
yellow TO protect il as far as possible
from the action OF the suns rays.
Its four cars are directly attached
20 the framework of the balloon. II
will be driven by four Daimler mo-
tors. each of 125 horse power. 1t is
anticipated that the airship will be
able 20 carry forty persons. The es-
timated speed is sixty-five kilometers
an hour.
4 large hall is being built TO shell
ter the vessel. The airship has been
designed by Captain Won Krage of
the aeronautic battalion. and is &C
oordingly we'll adapted for military
purposes.-Boersen Courier,

Improving the Pig Crop.

Save the Hands.

Housekeepers can thus save the ap-
pearance of their hands. so they need
not wish they could leave them at
home when they go visiting: Have
plenty of thick. soft holders near the
stove. with which to take hold of the
pots and pans. Keep pair of gloves
handy to use when putting wood in
the stove, or TO work in the garden,
or pick over coal ashes, or to put on
when you sweep. Rub the hands at
night with mixture made of equal
parts of glycerine and rose-water to
which add one drop of carbolic acid.
After scrubbing or washing dishes
battle the hands in vinegar or rub
with Q cut lemon; and when you sit
down to your sewing, if they feel like
a kindergarten. rub them with cam

pliable.-Farm Journal.

Novel Suggestion.

Il has been suggested thar the
school boys OF country districts be
banded together 10 form junior good
roads leagues. The originstors OF the
idea point out that many country
roads are pat-ollsd daily by boys old
enough 20 do much for the cause by
removing stones from the roadway,
keeping bitches and sluiees open,
draining OF storm water, filling ruts
and holes and notifying the proper
authorities Of matters requiring their

Street Signs in Concrete Curbs.

The suggestion has been made that
now that concrete curbs are coming
into such general use on city streets
it might be a good plan to put the
names OF tie streets in the top OF the
curbs. The letters should be sunk
into the concrete just at the side OF
the crosswalk. and should be two or
three inches in size. The expense
would be ininitesimal. the sign would
not be subject to breakage OF removal
By other means, and the public would
bsye really ideal street signs.
