And the Only Way to Get
Them is to Have a
Bond Issue.

It haa been demonstrated that
from 80 to 30 per cent of the trafnc
of community passes over from Is
to 20 per cent Of the roads. On this
theory this county has considerable
work to be done before 1t will have
improved enough Of its roads to afford
an efficient transportation system. 1t
Is now proposed to Issue bonds to the
amount Of one million dollars for the
purpose of securing much needed
improvements. and this sum will be
sufficient to improve enough mileage
for the county to have more than 20
per cent of its roads improved. This
would give Harrison county magni-
leent system OF highways, and its
citizens are soon to have an opportu-
ndty Of deciding whether they will
have such system by voting for this
proposed bond issue.
Such system Of roads would be
of immediate benefit to the farmers
OF the county by enabling them to do
their hauling with greater ease and
facility. Aside from this, however.
they would also result an increase In
population, and an Improvement OF
social conditions throughout the ru-
raj sections OF the county, which
would more than compensate for the
outlay necessary to effect the i'm

GOOD ROADS WILL
AID THE FARMERS

provement 1t is estimated that the in
creased value of land averages will be
from So to 50 acre. Harrison county
contains 4S1 square miles, or 275,-
$40 acres of land. If we assume that
the increased value OF this land IS
only $500 per acre, and that the In
crease would only apply to one-haK
Of the above acreage. as only about
one-half of the land is unuder culti-
walton, the aggregate increase in
value would be over 100000, or
more than the proposed bond issue.
Improved roads in county also
attract new settlers, and result in an
increase in population. On the other
hand it Is the prevailing tendency
in counties not having improved roads
for the population to decrease. In
the state of Tennessee during the pc
Rod from 1900 to 1910, nineteen
counties which had only 1.3 per cent
Of their roads improved. decreased
in population 1905, or 740 per coun-
ty; while nineteen other counties in
Tennessee with eighteen per cent Of
their roads improved increased in
population during the same period
150,s42, or an average of 1888 per
county. During the same period,
eleven counties in West Virginia de-
creased IN population 2s,657, or more
than $500 per county; and thirty-ive
counties in Virginia decreased % ,s15

of city schools, cleyerly presented
the Ogden prize to Mary Eliason, Of
the senior class and Ruth Christine
Bush of the sophomore class for the
highest average.
Dean Williams, pleasing and
logical speaker, reviewed school
progress in this country as well as
all over the civilized world briefly,
declaring that the GIigh, schools of
today are better than the colleges
were twenty-five years ago in this
country. and he congratulated the
class on the fact that it was better
equipped than college graduates a
quarter Of century ago. In this
Connection he emphasized the fact
that it was the duty of the schools
to look after the boys and girls
that have not come to the gradu-
ating period, as the. graduates are
now finished products so far as the
schools are concerned.
The Importance of education from
the viewpoint of competition in the
various endeavors and activities of
life was splendidly discussed by him
and very aptly illustrated. While
the speaker mentioned the intellect
as proper to be educated, yet the
training Of soul and body he said
was an essential to a finished edu-
cation.
Efficiency was qualification en-
phasized by&Dean Williams as it is
not a question as to what position
a man fills but how well he fills 1t.
Taxation for school purposes was
held by Dean Williams as right and
proper as the community, the state
and the nation owe it to the boys
and girls to prepare them for citi-
zenship whether their parents be
rich or poor. Equal educational OPP
portunity for every child in the ma
ton is Dean williams's motto in this
Connection and he believes in state
and federal aid to the schools.
referring specifically to his sub
iect, Dean Williams outlined the
pupil as the first party in the invest
ment, the parent the second the
state the third and the nation the
fourth, and the home, the church,
the school and the state were named
as the leading elements in civilized
citizenship.

GOOD FACTS OF IRRIGATION

In order to determine Just vixen

quent or too generous applications,
requires knowledge and experiences
that can be gained only by practice
and a close observation of various
crops under irrigation. 1t is the ex-
perience Of many practical irrigators
that If an unlimited supply of water
is available crops more frequently
suffer from overirrigation than from
drought. 1t is difficult to. determine
when the development of the crop is
first arrested on account of lack Of
moisture In the soil Some expert
mentors maintain that this point can
be more definitely decided by an ex-
animation of the soil than by the ap-
pearance of the plant as the latter
shows evidence of the check in its
growth some days after it has oc-
CURED. Usually 1t is then too late to
prevent serious loss, as the crop rare

rigated at the proper time
Plants will usually indicate by a
change in color or by their general
appearance whether they need water
or when they have been overirrigated,
Most field crops turn to a darker
green when in need of water, and the
leaves and stems show q tendency to
droop or curl The lower leaves as
sumo pale yellow. A crisp or dead
appearance in the lower leaves is ona
of the best indications that a plant
needs water Grain which has suffered
from drought may mature, but the
straw will be small and short and the
kernels will be shrunken and inferior
In quality. Alfalfa and similar crops
have the appearance OF cured hay.
Where field crops are overirrigated
the color of the foliage becomes a
yellowish green and the plants have
sickly appearance. These indica-
tions vary with the quality of the soil.
so that It is impossible to lay down
fixed rules to govern the number or
frequency of irrigations. Only close
observation for a number of years on
the same farm will enable a person to
tell by the appearance of the plants
whether they need water or not
The amount of moisture In the soil
may be determined with sufficient &C
curacy for the needs of the plant by
examing a sample taken few,
inches from the surface of the
ground. If 1t clings together when
nodded into a ball and shows the
print OF the fingers, there is moisture
enough present. If the earth falls
apart when the land is opened, irri-
cation is needed.

ARTIFICIAL GUM IN FRANCE

Ing dessicated starch or starchy ma
terial with acid or alkali to increase
the adhesiveness. Such material as

and then heated by passage in thin
layer over steam-heated rollers-so as
to convert the starch first into paste
and then into dessicated fakes, that
can be peeled off and ground. Hy-
