Java means coffee to most people,
merely because much of the Rio
that is sold in America Is sold as
Java coffee" In reality, though,
Java isn't in the coffee business
any more as she used to be. The
Jayanese coffee trees have of late
suffered terribly from disease, and
Java coffee seems in bad way.
Fact is, the tourist has the time of
his life trying to get decent cup

HIDDEN BEAUTIES

No soul can ever truly see

And loving wisdom of the

But rather gives an added light,

The beauties hid from common

BY Cynthio Orgy,

To turn out a pudding boiled in
a basin, hold it for a few moments
in cold water; this will prevent it
sticking to the cloth.
Tea leaves are invaluable as
means of cleaning vanished
paints. When sufficient have been
laid aside, they should be placed
in tin basin full of water, and
soaked for half an hour. The tea,
when strained, should be used in
stead of soap and water to clean
the vanished surfaces.

'On Long Island the farmers

road, we may say, picks up a
farm ten miles out and moves it
five miles in. A good road takes
pasture land twenty miles out
and brings it ten miles closer to
the railroad, making a wheat
field or potato patch or corn field
out of it. There's more money
in dairying and truck and small

RAILROADS TO BUY TIES

Approximately 100000 ties
or 387, 900, 900 feet of lumber will
be purchased in the Pacific
Northwest during the coming
year by the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads in in double

the plans recently announced by
Judge Lovett, president of the
Hartman system.
The Hartman purchasing ag-
ent has been in the Northwest
for several days investigating
the condition Of the lumber mar
ket. Lumbermen believe that
orders for ties will be placed in
the order to take advantage of
the low prices now prevailing.
Lumber manufacturers state
that as near as they can figure,
5000, 900 ties will be needed
on the Union Pacific and 3,O0O,-
600 on the Southern Pacific.
They estimate that the bulk of
the business will be placed in
the Northwest. Ties are selling
at present from $3.50 to $1,000
per thousand. A standard tie
contains AZ board feet, so if g.
100000 feet of ties are purchas-

To agitate for road improve

matte manner all over the coun-
try, so that good roads will bind
counties and states together and
evolve into a net work of thor
oughfares tapping every portion
If the country is the ideal that

lean Association of Highway I'M
provement has set before 1t.
This association is Differed by
government officials, railroad
men, park commissioners, road
experts, United States senators
and men in dozen other pur-
suits, Its purpose is to strive
for good roads everywhere to
send out lecturers upon the sub
.ject, to help legislatures to draft
good road bills, and to do every
thing possible that will tend to
systematic road improvement.
In view of the agitated bond
issue to provide Snohomish coun-
ty with roads of permanent
character, which, when such
national campaign bears the
fruits that are certain to come,
will form a part of a national sys-
tenn, this association and the IN

among highway workers are OF
special interest to this section.
Logan Waller Page, director
# the United States office OF

association he says, in the Satur-
day evening Post:
THE work our association
itends to do, throwing all our
strength where needed, will
eventually make a complete sys-
tenn of good roads an actually.
Improved roads will have the ef-
feet of lowering the cost OF haul
ing, now twenty-five cents per
mile. In the vicinity of London.
motor tractors draw trains OF
cars into the city loaded with
truck products.
''The system over there IS
somewhat curious. One OF these
big motor tractors starts toward
London from distant point. AS
it proceeds, cars of farm pro-
ducts are hitched to it. A great
load can thus be drawn into the
city at a very little cost to the
frrmers. The system is made
possible solely because OF the
modern condition in which the
Dads are maintained. The cost
of hauling is less than four cents
a ton-miIe. American consuls
abroad. reported eighteen years
ago that the average cost IN haul
ing was about ten cents mile.
That shows what good ROADS
have done for Europe
''Take another example OF the
effects of good roads: Rlassa-
chusetts, previously to $780,

in value. The state began to
build improved roads in 1897.
