DISAPPOINTED.

It is being told of 6 man from Muncey, little town up in Lycom- ing county, that he visited frienG in the city the early part of tn, week, and, among other sights he saw a play in Broad street theater.
 When the lights were low the host drew forth a pair of opera glasses and handed them to the man from Muncey.
 In a few seconds the visitor was apparently in uncomfortable circum- stances, but in the three-quarters darkness his arms in the air were discernible.
 "What's the trouble Y asked the other.
 "Oh, nothing, only it's empty" " said the Munceyite. "Ain't a drop in it." he insisted, as he withdrew the opera glasses from his lips.- Philadelphia News.

RISE IN LAND VALUES

The rapid rise in land values in the Southwest is evidence of the agricultural growth of this fav- ored section it shows the de- mand forfarms, ranches, subur- ban homes, and is the best in. dications of progress.

again by assuming first place in the
American league race after 1t had
been held by Detroit since the open
ing of the season.
The Mackmen didn't have the honor
very long. The very next day they
tcppled out again, and Detroit was
back. They went west again and
struck a calamity in Detroit, which
swept four straight games from their
ancient enemy. Therefore in little
more than a week after Independence
day Detroit had gained first place and
was leading the Athletics by five and
one-half games.
With the season more than half fin
ished, the Athletics chances looked
worse than ever, but the Mack wreck

soon back fighting again, and the lead
worked gradually but steadily below
the five and one-half mark.

There has been nothing like the In

~ In 1908, when a presidential cam

This years race has been two team

nopolizing the gladness or the whole

The Tigers started the season on 1
gallop and at the end Of April held
big lead of twelve games won and two
lost, while the Athletics were In the sec
ohd division. During May the Tigers
still held the big lead, and many ex-
perts predicted they would walk away
with the gonfalon. But the more con-
.servative thought that lead was a
handicap to Jennings men, which later
results proved to be s,ue.
The early part Of June, when the
Tigers held a big lead over the Ath-
jctics OF twelve games, Mack's chances
looked slim. Such feeling was well
justified. With such an enormous ad-

nurse their lead at no great strain on

WIDE ROADS ITNDESIR-
ABLE.

BY the means OF such drag
many miles of road, be it public
or private, can be kept in excel
lent condition at surprisingly low
cost. If the road is rough and a
little too hard for the drag to do
its most effective work disk har-
row should be run over it. Set tile
disks at their sharpest angle and
they will cut up enough dirt for
the drag to move at one time over.
After the road has been once shap-
ed, it is but little work to keep it
You will discover that there is a
time after a rain when the dirt is
in its best condition for the drag.
Take advantage when those mois-
ture conditions are right.
And don't have the road wider
than necessary. Extra width
makes more road to keep up, and
the unused part is the hardest part
to keep. There is no need of
three vehicles passing in the road
at once. Only room is needed so
that it is safe for horses and auto
mobiles to pass.

The Westminster Democratic
Advocate published the following
appreciation Of the farmer:
The true position OF the farmer
and his relation to the community
in which he lives, are not very
well understood, neither by the
farmer himself nor by the com
nlunity.
Agriculture, as we all know, lies
at the very foundation, and is the
basal structure upon which all true
hospitality rests.
When the farmer is prosperous,
the country is prospectus, and
where agriculture is on the decline
every other interest goes down
with it.

DRAINAGE SECRET
GOOD ROADS.

Drainage is the secret of good
roads. he hard, smooth knoll
was due to the water being car
ried away before it had time to
penetrate and soften the dirt or
gravel. As long as the surface OF
the road is rough, with holes in
which the water can accumulate,
there is little hope for that road
ever being pleasant or econo-
mical line for transportation.
Suppose you rounded the road
and made it smooth SO that the
water drained away from it to the
side, from where it was conducted
to natural or artificial places OF
drainage. Instead o; just the one
little knoll of hard, smooth SUR
afce, you would have a long, oval
ridge with the same qualities. The
advantages for driving and haul
ing are quite self-evident.
ROAD DRAG INEXPENSIVE.
The road drag that will bring
about this Improvement in the
public or private roads is an in
expensive and easily made tool.
The writer has made them with
very little cost of old six by six
inch timbers cut IL to 10 feet
long, according to the power with
which he had to draw the drag,
and mortised together in parallel
lines at distance of I-2 to 3
feet apart, in such position that
their ends were in line with the di-
rection they were to be drawn
when their angle to the road was
such that the drag covered width
OF 8 to II feet. The face OF the
front timber was faced with an old
wagon tire, dropped one-half inch
below t.e lower edge of the TIM
Der. A split log, faced the same
way would do equally well, if no
old sawed timber were convenient
to use or too expensive to buy.
The weight should be enough to
hold the drag firmly to the road,
and yet not overload the horses,

BUILDING GOOD ROADS


1t is not SO much the cost of
good roads as it is the cost of bad
ones. With the latter kind you
pay the bill every day you drive or
haul anything over them, but the
account is never settled, and never
will be SO long as you continue to
use them. 1t is a generally adj
mitted fact that the price of good
roads is considerably less than for
bad ones.
The difference in estimating
the two is that, in the case of the
first, some definite figures are cas-
lily gotten from contractors cover
ing the cost; and to the average
mind the yare much more tan
gible than in the case of the sec
ond, where the aggregate of the
entire amount can hardly be reach
ed. In paying for the bad roads,
the eagle on the dollar is not seen
SO plainly as when you pay stipu-
lated amount on the construction
of a piece of road that will be a
source OF profit and pleasure. In
one case you pay :or something
and it is delivered to you; in the
other, nothing is delivered to you,
but you keep paying.
GREAT EXPENSE NOT NE.
CESSARY.
1t does not require great ex-
pense to improve the ordinary dirt
road until it is in excellent condi-
ton. While rock roads are fine to
have, it is folly to go hungry just
because you can not have the
whole loaf. You have observed
frequently high smooth knobs on
the roads. They are hard when
all the rest of the road was soft
and muddy. Where the water
stood there seemed to be no bot
tom in the road at all. And the
possibilities of ever having a hard,
smooth surface on that place,
with no change of material, was
beyond the imagination.

saidsos the farmer, The hand that
til!s the soil feeds the world. :
When he ceases to produce our
breadstuffs, we cease to live. So
that there is dignity and import
ance about the vocation Of the
farmer, that he does not fully ap-
preciate- That it means hard work
is true. But work, hard and ex-
acting as it may be, is BY no means
an unmixed evil. Indeed it is a
great blessing.
There is no more beneficial pro-
vision OF Providence, than that
which calls men to work.
