To the farmer dissatisfied with his

indicating the direction. Signs will
not be permitted to be attached to the
posts. but the guiding directions are
to be painted in black letters on the
posts. AS the posts to which the mail
boxes are to be attached must be set
in an easily accessible position. so as
to facilitate the work of the rural car
rier. the department recommends that
the boxes be fastened to projecting
arm Of wood or to a bracket of band
iron about three-sixteenths Of an inch
thick. or. If preferred. an automatic
extension arm may be used.
In speaking Of the subject General
DeGraw says: I'VE want our rural
posts and boxes to look as though
they really represented a government
service. This will do more to protect
them from marauders than anything
else. Then. again. with the names Of
the box owners and the town and vii
lage guide directions In plain view one
can find his way as easily on a coun-
try rural route as In the city. where
numbers and door plates on the
houses and street names on the lamp
posts are indispensable to strangers In
finding their way"

frequent difficulty Of obtaining water

cessive cost: therefore various arti-
fetal dust layers have been produced.

produce the desired effect.
AS compared with water sprinkIing

artificial palliatives Is generally con-

Calcium chloride Is a highly hygr0-
scopic and delIquescent salt. The COM
mercial form. known under the trade
name Of Solvay granulated calcium
chloride. is byproduct Of the manu-
facture Of soda by the Solvay process.
1t contains about 75 per cent OF cal
cium chloride and about 25 per cent of
moisture. Its effectiveness AZ dust
layer depends very much upon Its
property of retaining moisture applied
to the road surface aud absorbing
greatly increasing the effect Of water
applied directly to the road. and also
making available that existing In the
air above 1t. 1t Is applied by either Of
two methods. the wet" or the dry"
BY the first 1t is dissolved in water and
applied from an ordinary sprinkling
cart. a solution Of from one pound to
one and one-half pounds Of the mate
rial to each gallon OF water being used
The second method Is especially ap-
plicable where water Is not easily OBJ
tained. though II Is often used else
where. BY this method the dry mate
rial in its granular form Is spread d.
rectly upon the road and allowed to
dissolve by the absorption Of moisture
from the air.
Dustoline Is transparent liquid Of
brown or plum color. practically
without odor. II Is shipped in barrels
or In tank cars and is applied directly
to the road without heating or mixing
with water or other material. Ordi-
nary water sprinkling carts may be
used to apply 1t. or It may be- sprinkled
by hand with a garden watering pot.
1t acts as a dust layer by holding to-
gether the fine particles on the road
surface In moist condition. thereby
keeping the road free from dust.

Hamilton. o.. l2O years ago because he

The old stockaded clearing on the
hank Of the great Miami river grew

because the place that St. Clair picked
out for fort proved to be good site
for town.
In all these years Hamilton grew In
