STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER
Inheritance Tax Statistics--COmpIains Of
State Aid Road Law
Olympia, July 19, 1911.

Olympia, July 19, 1911.
Complaints are pouring into Olympia
in larger numbers every day against the
new state aid road law passed by the
last legislature which took the power Of
letting contracts for state roads out of
the hands of the state board and vested
II in the hands of the county commits
sioners and the only authority left in
the board is to pass upon roads when
they are completed and accept or re
ject them, so that when the county
commissioners and the residents of a
county get into squabble the state
highway board is without power to act
in the matter. At present the greatest
trouble is in Snohomish county where
contract which was let is entirely
unsatisfactory, and efforts are being
made to set aside the contract, as MANY
are under the impression that the state
has something to do with these con
tracts, but it is not clear how the state
can interfere as everything in now in
the hands OF the county commissioners.
No roads have been built as yet under
the new law, but many complaints are
coming into Olympia. The supporters
of the new law are anxious to have all
the counties settle their local squabbles
without involving the state highway
board and they declare that the new
law has not yet been given fair trial.
From July to July l3, the state
troops were encamped at American lake
and although there were no regulars
present from the federal army the seven
hundred state troops made an excellent
showing and the army inspectors de-
clared that the encampment was the
lhOSh ou(SCosiul CNCl llCiu III TIC WCSt.
Governor M. E. Hay said he was proud
of the Washington national guard and
that they never held better encamp-
ment. The health of the soldiers has
never been better cared for as every
kind OF refuse was burned each day,
and Governor Hay said a fly would
starve to death on what he could get
around the camp. Ice cream vendors
and the like were kept away from the
grounds and such delicacies were offer
ed for sale by the commissary depart
ment. Although the price of food
SHUTS is very high at this time the
cost Of feeding the men in camp was
but twenty-iour cents a day per man,
which is remarkably low as all the men
had healthy appetites.

LESS WORK IN THE KITCHEN
orudgery May Be Avoided If Only a Little Thought Is Given to
 the Subject.

think that a great deal of the kitchen work which people thing the hardest of all can be made the pleas antest with very little trouble. A great deal of the drudge work in the kitch- en comes from disorder. By little systematic arranging the work can be made very much lighter. have seen a great many instances of this. By systematic arranging I mean that dishes, saucepans, groceries, utensils and other things necessary should be kept each in it's separate place so that the housekeeper knows where to lay her hands on anything she needs. The spices, extracts and cereals should be kept separately on the shelves The dish shelves must be just for the dishes. all saucepans being kept in a place set aside for them.
 It Is very important that the kitch- en table where the mixing is done be kept clear of everything. All house keepers know how things accumulate in a kitchen. This should be carefully avoided because this more than any thing else makes work. AS to dish washing, if the dishes are well scraped and packed up before washing, great deal of time and labor is saved.-Ex- change.

ity. In curing an ingrowing toe nail he may prevent a family quarrel-a divorce. He brings peace to a house hold"
 The most the young man would promise was that his sign should sim ply bear the word Dentist" The sacred name of Chatterton should not swing in the breeze for the public to stare at He also partly promised that if he came to like anything bet ter than dentistry after a trial he would give up the tooth business. He could have furnished parlors in the city, but to the joy of the mother he went 20 miles afeld and hung out his sign in a suburban village.
 If there were any aching teeth, or teeth to be filled or extracted, the vic tim fought shy of the new dentist He had parlors over a bank, and he had beautiful gold sign. He had dog and gun and took long walks over the country. There was good fishing and he fshed There was good row ing and he rowed. The sign of: "Out Back in a Few Minutes" was on his door oftener than the Come Right In" Three months passed and MT. Paul Chatterton had not had a pa tient. Indeed, though, he had had just one. or come very near it. The respectable lady of scrub-woman for the bank had come upstairs one day to tell him that her married daughter out in Nebraska had written her that her little boy had toothache of the severest kind, and would he, the dentist, tell her free of charge what would cure 1t? He would He even went so far as to give her 10 cents to buy peppermint essence to send out to the sufferer
 However. all things come to him who waits, whether he is a statesman or dentist A patient came to Mir Paul Chatterton. He was out with fishing rod one day. a mile or more from town, and on his way back to change that sign to: Come Right In" when he heard an auto coming up behind him and then a woman's screams. AS he wheeled about the machine ran across the road and into a bank. The dentist ran back to find a girl with her jaw tied up. He couldn't be sure whether she was an old maid or fair young girl, but she was in distress, and that was enough.
 As for the chauffeur, there was no doubt about him. He was a young man. He was even too much intoxi- cated to talk He was taken by the back of the neck and lifted down and deposited on the grass. and then the dentist took his seat. backed the ma chine into the road and asked:
 Am I right in thinking you were bound for the village?"
 Yes, sir," answered a girls voice.
 Then I will see you safely there Your chauffeur is not exactly well. VIII 1t be to the derot?'

That Hollow Tooth By CLYDE ARNOLD

That Paul Chatterton, wealthy, and to be richer still, should wish to be- come a college graduate was only natural, but that he should take the course in dentistry and plan to set up ln the profession was an enigma to his friends and a source of vexation to his widowed mother.
 T wouldn't say anything about law or surgery" she would argue. T wouldn't mind. even if you were naturalist and went poking about after snakes and bugs. If you had graduated as a philosopher think could have stood it. but dentistry Paul-dentistryi"
 My dear mother, where would you have got the half dozen false teeth in your mouth but for dentistry?" he would reply. We must have teeth of some sort. We must chew our food. The world suffers more or less with toothache; we must cure it. The dentist brings alleviation; he helps to preserve our good looks"
 "But society. Paul"
 T know that there are very few dentists in society. Society doesn't invite him to it's dinners and recep- dons because he alone knows how many false teeth it has. It would be a funny gathering of the four hundred If all the dentists were to shut up shopl"
 But when one thinks of the dentist he thinks of the chiropodist."
 Quite right, my dear mater. You went to the chiropodist the other day and had two corns removed. Your graceful gait has thereby been re- stored. He is a benefactor to human

end. and the other two holes to core spond with the two in the front slab The slabs are then joined together with stout stakes so that the two slabs are not closer than 30 inches. Wedge the stakes in place. allowing the ends to protrude behind, to make handles for lifting the drag around.
 To complete the drag place brace as shown in the drawing and tack a light platform on the top. The chain should be attached as shown. Don't build the drag too heavy; it can be weighted If 1t is too light. Follow these directions in making and oper- ating the drag and the results will be entirely satisfactory.
The Holbrook news., 1911-10-06

'1 never saw two road drags that were made the same way nor two men who operated a drag just the same" remarked a road supervisor the other day. The statement comes close to the truth, and therein is the explana- tion for the difference in results ob- tained from the use of the drag and the diversity of opinion regarding It's value, says the Prairie Farmer.
 If you want to secure the best re- suits form the use of the drag hitch the team so that the drag will follow at an angle of about 45 degrees. Then drive down the road with one horse on each side of the wheel track so that the loose earth will be moved to- ward the center of the road. Come back the same way on the other side of the road. If one round is not enough to smooth the surface and fill the ruts, make another round, or as many as are necessary to bring the de- sired results.
 It does not matter so much what time you work the road although the most good Is done right after rain, say as soon as the surface begins to dry. The object is to puddle the sur face. Roads that are treated in this manner for a season become almost impervious to water
 It must not be expected that the best results will be accomplished after one or two draggings. The longer the road is dragged the better it will get. The ideal contour may not be ob- tained until the fourth or fifth time over the road, although a difference can be noticed from the first in the condition of the road after rains.
 When the travelled part of the road Is as good as can be made then you are ready to widen the highway. Do this by first blowing a shallow furrow down each side of the road just to the edge of the dragged portion, throwing the soil of course toward the center. Now pass along with the drag and spread this loose soil over the surface to the road and at the same time move 1t toward the crown. Continue in this way until the crown of the road is as high as desired. The great advantage of building a road in this manner is that the surface is packed as the road is made. There are never any soft plaices to be found in such a road, and consequently ruts seldom form.
 The best kind of drag is made as follows: Split a cedar post or the end of a telephone pole. at least ten inches thick. so as to get two half logs about T or feet long, This is better than to use a plank. Pick out the best half for the front of the drag and about four inches from the end that is intended to travel in the cen ter of the road, bore a two-inch hole at right angles to the face of the slab. Bore another hole 22 inches from the other end and still another in the mid dle of the slab.
 To prepare the rear slab bore a two-inch hole inches from the ditch

The Babel of Hooters.

London is intolerable, not only by day, but by night also, on account of its babel of motor warning sounds. AS we previously urged, there should be a standard warning, and this warning should not be unnecessarily sounded. As 1t is, there are hundreds of horns on the motor vehicles in London which send forth an irritating blare, the note of which may be included anywhere In a range of couple of octaves. On one vehicle there is the top note like a cornet, on another there is the mid dle note like clarinet and on a third there is the low note like a bassoon. and so on. Then there is the fiendish device by which the exhaust actuates a screaming siren or succession of notes or even an attempt to produce a chord. This confusion and multi plicity of sounds to gain a common and a humane end is completely H. logical and irritating beyond measure. We protest against this outrage upon the human endurance. thrust upon 1t not only by day, but in what should be the resting hours of the night There can be no question of the real ity of the evil, and our authorities must be pressed to eradicate 1t. There is distinct medical testimony as to it's possible effects; and the evil could be materially reduced, 1t seems to us, by enforcing a standard method of warn. ing and preventing the superfiuous use of the "hooter."-TheL Lancet.

SWEET CLOVER
 AS FERTILIZER
Until Past Few Years Crop Had Been Chased as TroubIesome Weed by Many-Now
 Soil Restorer.
Rv " GRIFFINN

J
 Sweet clover is fast coming to the front as a soil restorer. Until the past few years it has been classed as a troublesome weed by many. have been experimenting with different clovers for several years as to their value as cured hay, grazing and as a crop to turn under as green manure.
 As cured hay, sweet clover comes second to alfalfa
 As a pasture sweet clover is way ahead. On land that Is very thin and in which there is very little humus, if sown to sweet clover and bluegrass there will be good stand of pasture the second season and if pastured lightly heavy sod is formed rapidly, then after the fourth season 1t may be pastured regularly and it will con- tinue to improve.
 As a green crop to turn under I have not been able to find anything near its equal. Where sown thickly it makes a very heavy growth to turn under, and as this decays and is con verted into humus the nitrogen gath ering bacterias that live on the roots of the clover, releases the nitrogen that was gathered while the crop was growing.
 The bitter taste that sweet clover makes against it some as most all stock do not take to it readily, but this bitterness, caused by property contained by the sweet clover known as cumarin prevents the stock that feed on the clover from being bloated.
 Hence, anything that makes a good food Is a good fertilizer.
