ONE WAY TO BETTER ROADS.
Automobile Club Gives Free Drags to
Farmers.

A plan inaugurated several months
ago by the Manhattan (Kan.) Motor
club has beef successful in lettering
the condition of the country roads in a
radius of ten miles from Manhattan
at least 90 per cent, and the plan is
so inexpensive that the club is urging
other towns to take it up.
The club gives a road drag to ev-
cry farmer who will guarantee to use
it to keep three miles of road in good
condition. The club has given away
more than forty drags and Is getting
calls for them at the rate of about
four a week.
The club first made the offer several
months ago. The farmers We're slow
in taking advantage of it, but a few
days ago the clubs president, DR.. ].
d. Colt, advertised the offer in the To-
cal newspapers. and the result has
been that the drags are being taken
by the farmers as fast as the club can
get them made. The club has placed
no limit on the territory in which the
offer is good, and the drags are in use
In all sections Of the county. They
cost the club about SO each.

PIGEONS ON HORSES BACK
Unique Spectacle Is Witnessed by
Wayfarer on Downtown Corner
In Busy Chicago.

ChicaRo.-Pedestrians in Wabash
avenue at Washington street paused
the other day and watched with inter-
est the spectacle OF pigeons-almost a
dozen of them-walking on a horses
back. 1t was a unique sight.
There are a number of cabmen who
make their stand at The northeast
corner of Washington street and Wab-
ash avenue and one of them. perhaps
because he lis more k~ind-hearted than
the others, always saves a COB OF the
corn which he feeds his horse for the
innumerable pigeons which make their
nests In the cornice OF the Chicago
public library, half a block distant.
The pigeons have learned this ana
have grown to accept he daily
treat"
On the day In question a fellow
Ijehu suggested that the corn be
sprinkled on the horses back instead
of over the eobblestones, as usual, to
see If the birds would alight upon the
animal and gather the few grains at a
time which they were allowed. The
cabman acted upon the suggestion. He
shelled of q handful OF the corn and
scattered 1t on the horses back. from
its ears to It's tail. In a trice a dozen
pigeons, which had sat on a building
across Washington street and watched
their benefactor's movements, whirred
down and planted their feet lightly on
the horse. They pecked away. n
grain of corr disappearing with each
peck, Just as much at home as II they
had been cleaning their MONDAY meal
from the more familiar cobblestones.
The horse never winked an eye
when the birds alighted on his back
He was having a bite to eat" nlme
self, and nothing else mattered.

DUST LAYING.
Oil Used by Canadian Town to Sprinkle
Streets.


Consul Augustus G. Seyfert of
Owen Sound, Ont. says that the
sandy lake shore soil upon which
Owen Sound is located results in very
dusty streets. No matter how much
rain falls or how much water is
sprinkled ON the streets in an hour
thereafter the dust becomes a nuisance
and ii menace 10 health To overcome
this the municipal authorities eX-
perimented with oil. which proved
such Il success that now all the prin
eipai streets in the town are oiled
These thofoughfares are macadamized
and are first swept clean and the oil
put on Immediately after With the
sprinkler.
The objection at first WAS that the
odor from the crude oil was offensive.
but in a day or two this disappeared,
and the change for the better to dust
less streets was recognized by all.
The first application of oil lasted six
weeks, and the second application was
put on the other day, and what
were some of the busiest streets are
now perfectly dustless.
The town officials state that it will
be an annual saving of $1,000 over the
old water system and ut the same
time give much better results

Are you In favor Of good
roads? If not you don't belong
to this age of the world and this
town is no place for you.
Tar on English Roads.

The county surveyors in England
have reported that the tarring of
roads has resulted in a saving of 20
to p per cent Of the cost of the road
pa|intenance. The average cost of
spraying with tar is S195 per mile.
Experienced men say that it pays to
spend this much for tarring the roads
that cost $3.50 to $1,000 per mile a
year for maintenance. Nothing more
satisfactory than tar has been found.
Two methods are used in applying it.
If the road is resurfaced the material
Is previously saturated with tar. On
roads that are not used too much such
treatment will last five or six years.
The other system is to spread hot
tar on the surface, and this has proved
TO be more than Il dust protector. 1t
makes the road waterproof and binds
together the material, making 1t more
resistent to water, wheels and hoofs.

1t Is the Duty Of All TO Do
What We Can.
CITY NO PLACE TO LIVE.
overcrowded, UnheaIthful Metropoli-
tan Centers Have Little Room For
Country Youth-Your Own Town
Has Larger Prospects.
BY NJ scHREIBER. Jr.

As one who long in populous city pent,
Where houses thick and sewers annoy the
air.
From Paradise Lost"
1t was ever thus and will no doubt
ever be so-the city, where houses
thick and sewers annoy the air; where
the suns rising and setting are seer
by few unless by chance; where the
moon is forgotten, being undistin-
guished from the dull glare of the
electric lamps swinging above the
street; where people are confined in
tenements and small roomed apart
ments; where souls are huddled to-
gether, all striving to beat their neigh
bors TO Il phantom goal-riches; where
guileless wanderers come from afar
n become lost in the mire of failure.
Or say success is a~ttained-that is,
a moderate success, for one in a
hundred reaches the topmost rung. Is
it worth striving for? Doesn't your
own town show more advantages?
The city is n fascinating place.
The height of ambition of most of
the people living outside the big cen
tiers of population seems to be to visit
New York, Chicago or other large
places. Visit them all to your hearts
content. but don't make your home in
one Of them.
A great city is no place for the am
bilious youth who wishes to become a
power where he lives. A clerk in a
country store can do more with his
salary than a manager of some of the
stores in the city.
The small town has advantages
which you can see if you will, but
take your eyes off that mirage, the
city. The duty of the average youth
lies in the town of his birth or adop-
ton. Instead of wanting to quit it
people TO come and live with you.
Show them where they can benefit
by so doing. Help increase the pop
ulatiOn of your town in this way. Tell
them that you are a big family, not
a lot of strangers TO n another. as
they are. Speak of the good times
you indulge in that the city people
never cuJOy.
There are thousands of people cooped
up in the cities who if they are
brought face to face with the beau
ties of the small town will come to you
and help you grow.
BY the recent census it was proved
hat in Missouri wherever a town
showed a decrease in population it was
due to the lack of good roads. This
neglect will have a demoralizing effect
on any community. People who other
wise would reach your town will avoid
it if the roads are in poor condition.
Some of your W people will pack up
after awhile and leave In disgust.
The same might be said If the town
itself presents a %slovenly appearance
or if it shows a lack of civic pride.
But the place that shines out in civic
Improvement, whose streets and roads
show that the people are up and do
ing, will be the gamer by its neighbours

fine material must be present for ce-
menting purposes and to help make
the gravel imperyious to water.
A Test.
"If after q hard winters frost the
sides of a gravel pit remain steep
without caying it may be taken as
a satisfactory test that that gravel is
a suitable road metal.
when a business man invests
money in a business project, such, for
instance, as the purchase of houses
for renting, he finds 1t to his interest
to keep those houses in good repair.
If the roof begins to leak it must be
attended to at once or the interior
may be ruined. II furnace or chin
ney hues become defective they must
be repaired before the dwelling is en-.
dangered by fire. So it should be
with our highways. A good road sur
face must not only support loads, but
1t must act as a roof to shield the
softer foundation from moisture. A
leak in the surface of a road may be
as disastrous to the capital invested
as a leah in the roof of a dwelling"

GRADES ON HIGHWAYS.

able For Heavy Traffic.

able For Heavy Traffic.
A | per cent grade on a road means
a rise of II foot for each hundred
feet of distance travelled up the hill.
a 10 per cent grade means ten feet
rise in each hundred feet so Travelled.
A / per cent grade, then, means that
in travelling uphill one mile an ascent
is made of Us feet. while ii 10 per
cent grade means a rise in altitude
of 52S feet in Il mile. Accurate tests
have shown that a horse which can
pull 1000 pounds on a level road can
pull only $40 pounds on n rise of me
foot in fifty, and on n rise of one
foot in ten he can pull only 30 pounds.
These facts show that the greatest
load that can be hauled over Il road
is the load which car be taken up
the steepest hill on that road or
through the deepest mudhole. 1t Is
therefore advised that all highways
travelled by heavily loaded vehicles
should be kept within a 5 or 4 per
cent grade if practicable. To do this
may require a change of location to
get around hills, always keeping in
mind that the lower the grade the
larger the load may be hauled and
the cost of haulage kept at the lowest
point.

attention and labor. Fifty cubic yards
of gravel or stone will replace material
worn from one mile by a years traffic.
THE gravel or stone should be ap-
piled in small quantities and only when
the road is muddy. 1t should be APP
piled upon the low spots. care being
taken to keep the center of the road
always crowned and all chuck holes
and ruts filed and leyeled. Wherever
water is found standing upon the road
that spots needs new road material
and 1t should be applied before the
wafer dries OFF. The aim should be to
keep the road in such shape that there
would he no opportunity for water to

should escape from bitches before it

This weeks bill at the Garden the
ater promises to eclipse any that has
been presented at that popular play
house since the opening of the sea-
son. There will be acts that will be
enjoyed by both old and young alike,
one of which is the Mcdonald trio
in a scenic electrical spectacular sing
ing act entitled THE Wandering
Blacksmith" This is one of the
strongest novelty singing acts, play
ing Orpheum time all over the coun-
try. This act alone is worth the price
of admission. The Church City -Four
is another act which will be appre-
ciated here, as Tulsa theatergoers
seem to be partial to quartets The
act is one of class and made one OF
the greatest hits in Topeka last week
of any act of that kind which had
ever been played there. The children
have not been forgotten either. For
their special benefit the Garden man
agement has booked in Philips dog
and pony show. No doubt the little
kiddies will take advantage Of this
opportunity to see the animals they
all love so we'll. The Countesses Po-
loft. European lighting. change artists,
and others just as good go to make
up very interesting program for this
