A local attorney in conversation
with the writer recently, made the
statement that, prior to the advent of
the Taft administration, the federal
courts Of the nation were sort of
police court; about all the business
they ever did was to hunt out and
punish bootleggers and petty violators
of the revenue laws. Since then al
most every term of federal court, no
matter where located, has been kept
busy trying and Furnishing violators OF
the antitrust laws. At no time in the

PAVING PRICES GOING DOWN..

The effect upon prices for various
forms OF street paving caused by the
competition of concrete has been evil
denced again this week by the letting
|of a contract in Des Moines for as
phalt at $1.65 per yard. Heretofore
prevailing prices for asphalt have how
cred around 81 per yard and for brick
paving sometimes higher than that,
but the day is rapidly passing when
any street paving will exceed $3.50
per square yard in cost, as concrete
at $1.10 to $1.4O per yard is bound to
bring the price of other forms down
to cost basis or put them out of
business in the competition.
The letting of contract for pave
ment at Manchester at $1.16 per yard
so near like bitulithic, which has cost
in excess of 81 per yard that it is diff
fcult for one to distinguish the diff
ference, and the drop in the price of
asphalt at Des Moines is indicative of
the progress in price decline on the
cost of street improvement which is
now going on.
1t is at Sioux City that some OF the
cheapest concrete pavement has been
secured, prices at times having been
as low at $1.10 per square yard, and it
is here that concrete has been laid in
a single course mixed 1, 2 and with
out taking the extra precaution of put.
ting on separate wearing surface,
and it is interesting in this connection
to note what the mayor of Sioux City
says regarding this pavement in a
special article which he has prepared
for the illustrated industrial edition
recently published by the Sioux City
Journal.
Regarding street improvements he
says:
MANY blocks of streets have been
paved and the paving of even more
blocks contracted for. The council

number of blocks on cross streets were
let during the past winter and the
work was begun early in the spring.
The work was done by the contractors
in such manner as to satisfy the
closest inspection, and there is no
doubt that the question of securing a
cheap, durable and satisfactory paving

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS

are being effectively prosecuted it is
in spite of the president and attorney
general, and the president ought to
come out in half a dozen lines and de-
fine his purposes, etc., etc.
And one of Brother lngham's grieV-
ances is that somewhere the president
has said friendly word OF one OF the
standpat senators in whose home town
he was being entertained land that he
does not show this courtesy to pro-
gressive senators as we'll. The Regis
ter and Leader surely overlooks the
recognition which the president gave
to Senator Kenyon in Fort Dodge. Or
does the fact that Senator Kenyon
is supporting President Taft for re-
election put him out of the class OF
"progressives?
The fact is that every friendly ad-
vance which the president has made
in public way toward certain of the
senators in the so-called progressive
group has been flouted by them as
mere attempt to win their support for
his personal fortunes. 1t is not neces-
sary now to review in detail the full
history of the breach which has arts
en between these men and the presi-
dent. 1t is enough to say that men
like Senator Kenyon and Fred Leh-
mann, who have the confidence OF
both sides, deplore the situation. They
do not agree with Senators La Fol-
lette and Cummins in their estimates
of the president, nor do they agree
with the president in his opinions OF
these senators. 1t is not the first time
i'm human experience that such stu
alton has arisen.
The president has as good right
to his personal opinion of the attitude
of Senators La Toilette and Cummins
as they have to their opinion of him.
He is not asking any favors of them
or Offering any empty compliments.
His fidelity to progressive principles
is as we'll attested by such men as
Kenyon, Lehman and Fisher as it
could be by Messrs. La Toilette and
Cummins.-Fort Dodge Messenger.

Save the Soil Moisture for the Crop Of
1919

Save the Soil Moisture for the Crop Of
1912.
How should the average loan soil
be treated to hold the largest amount
of soil moisture? Disk as soon as the
binder has cut the grain. This will
conserve much soil moisture that
would otherwise be lost by evapora-
ton. The chief objection to this meth
cd is that it takes lot of power in
harvest time and in many cases the
extra expenditure of labor will be too
great for the farmer to endure, who
has this years crop to save. Whether
the land has been disked or not, it
should be ployed as early in the fall
as possible, when it is as wet as it is
at present. Land plowed when moist
as it is now will always be in good me-
chanical condition, particularly if fol-
lowed by the harrow the same day it
is plowed. The soil is then broken
up and compacted much better than if
the Jumps are allowed to dry into
clods. 1t is just as essential to harrow
the same day you pillow as it is to set
concrete the day you mix it. In many
cases the subsoil packer or corrugat-
ed iron roller should follow the pillow
to compact the furrow slice down up
on the subsoil; this should always be
done the day the land is plowed, while
the furrow slice is moist. The corn
field should be disked shallow as soon
as the corn is cut, the disk should fol-
low the binder or else the corn should
be shocked up in straight rows and
the disk can then be used to good adj
vantage between the shock rows.
Remember next year may be anoth-
er dry year, with more or less hot
winds. If the subsoil contains plenty
of water these conditions will not
harm the crop. A small quantity of
water stored in the soil this fall, by
means OF the disk or early fall plow
ing, together with what falls next
year. may take the crop through three
or four severe days next July where
crops not aided by an extra store of
water in the soil may fail.-Wallaces
Farmer.

Cravat Holders.

These are fashioned so the cravats
will lie fiat, being folded only once in
the center, and there can be no danger
of crumpled ties.
Two little pockets are stitched on
flaps held in place with glove fasten-
ers. These are to hold the studs, col
lar buttons, scarfpins and cuff links.
The ties are simply laced in the
holder smoothly. 1t is then folded
over and laid in the suit case, trunk
or bag. 1t takes up little room and is
very convenient.

Successful Economy in Baking.
