The County Newspapers.

The county newspapers of Maryland

will be found better printed, cleaner,
better edited, journals than those publish.
ed in the county towns ofthis state. The
local news is carefully, accurately and
conscientionsiy recorded, and while near
u all of these ssrapers are, editorially,
partisan in their tone, they are usually
fair toward each other and live together
IN peace and harmony. They are, with
out exception, always to be found ready
to uphold anything whichitendsto elevate
the moral and material welfar Of their re.
spective communities. and as upbuilders
Of everything that is decent and right,
the Maryland county press has no
superior. The state should be proud of
its press, and all right-thinking people
realize what good is accomplished by it.

And here is Il e way a minister toasted
the country editor at recent editorial
convention:
To save an editor from starvation take
bis paper and paw for it promptly. To
save him from bankruptcy advertise in
his paper literally. To save him from
despair send him every item of news You
can get hold of. To save hin from pro-

as possible. To save him from mistakes
bury him. Dead people are the only
ones who never make mistakes.''

The stomach Cannot Best.

1t is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth, the stomach. lower stomach. liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
process. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes. or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin. etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
tating acids or gas. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con-
tain manyvegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can be cured. Ask Us about them. Eli
r. Reynolds.

The Farmer Is In The Saddle.

This is how one Of our "city::- cousins"
expresses himself regarding the high price
of living: The man who wrestIes with
the COW and teaches ithe calves to suck,
who casts the corn before the swine, is
now in the greatest LUCK, for buffers on
the upper grade, veal's higher than kite,
pork is climbing up the scale and beef is
out Of sight; eggs he gathers every day
from his Poland china coop are almost
worth their weight in gold while we are in
the soup. His corn brings him fancy
price, its raising every day and he rakes
in all kinds of men for half load of
hay. The farmer is in the saddle and
when ne comes to town. the rest of us by
right should go way back and sit down.

How New York State Cares For
Its Roads.

The upkeep of improved roads, espe-
cially waterbound macadam roads, 10, a
question which is engaging the serious
attention of highway engineers In general
and is subject to which the highway
commission of the state of New York has
given considerable attention and study.
The subject is interestingly treated In an
article by II. K. Bishop, first deputy of
the state highway commission, in the
Empire State Motorist. Up to January
I, 1909, very little attention was paid 10
that state to maintenance and repair
of highways, which were improved under
state aid. Appropriations made by the
Legislature from year to yearwere entirely
inadequate to keep in good condition the
Dads that had been constructed or TO
justify the organization of bureau or
force whose sole duty it should be to care
for and maintain the road after COM
p1etion.
'Under the traffic from horse drawn
vehicles the question of maintenance was
comparatively a simple one and consisted
mainly in the. prevention of ravel, the
elimination ofruts and other minor re-
pairs. The advent of the swiftly moving
motor vehicles has materially changed
the proposition and we are now confront
| ed with more serious problem.
A highway law was recently passed
which divides the state into six divisions,
each division being in charge of superin-
tendant of repair. Each division is
divided into sections aud a patrolman
appointed for each section whose duty it
is to keep the road constantly in repair,
carting screenings or three. quarter inch
stone to prevent ravel, repairing ruts.
trimming the shoulders, cutting the grass.
opening the bitches, etc.,
Where macadam roads have been
neglected for long time and need resur-
facing, Mr. Bishop describes the asphalt
tic oil treatment.
It consists of previous careful prepara-
ton Of the roads, the tamping of small
broken stone into ruts and depressions
after the application of oil. and finally
the covering with top dressing of fine
gravel or screenings to the depth of half
an inch. This method. he says, cost
approximately $425 mile, experience in
dicatiug that each application will last
three years.
1
Few people realize the cost of main.
tanning and keeping in good condition
Improved roads of the waterbound
macadam type. Roughly, ii may be
stated that the cost of maintaining such
roads is approximately $500 to $500 per
mile per year. Besides this cost of
maintenance there must be set aside each
year approximately $500 per mile to re-
surface the road at the end of the. 'lifes of
