LITTLE ROAD WORK IN FALL
Only Alm Should oe to Keep Them Hard and Well Drained-cut Out
 Ali Weeds and Grace.

To those whe are about to work up the highways. as is often done In some counties of tho state in the fall. we would say. Don't"
 Autumn is . beautiful season. but when we see . force of mon work ing" new section of road and plOw- ing up the old road-bed late In the fall, 1t makes us think that the melan- choly days have come. the saddest of the year. There is m element of this sort that linssrs all wtutsr over such a section of road. It is bound to bs cut full of deep ruts in mild weather, and rougher than the rocky road to Dublin whom the ground is frosen.
 The only aim in working roads at this time of the year should be to keep them hard and we'll drained. says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. No loose dirt, clods or vegetable matter such as weeds and grass sods should be left on the road-bed. Sod and weeds make humus. and however much we desire supply humus in cultivated soils. it Is . mighty poor road building material.
 Clay roads should be packed and smoothed with the road drag, and not loosensd up at any time of the year, much less Just before winter sets in. Muddy and sandy tracts may be grav- eled or macadamixed Tile drains and culverts are seen to be in good condition for draining away the ditch water. But places can well be hard surfaced or cut to proper levels or slopes But to blow and scrape loose soft material up on to the roadway is not good highway engineering for November. It is better to leave fair ly firm road surfaces as they are. than to nll in with unDacked material at this seasOn of the year.

They get the money to deliver the

do not believe in Young Mems Politi-

The Negro is due some political
representation as matter of right,
not as a matter of favor. Numerical

this. If we get together.
