PROPOSED BOND ISSUE FOR ROAD
BUILDING.

J. r. Chilberg, one of the wealthy
bankers of Seattle, is advocating a
bond issue of $15. 200, 900 for road
building in the state of Washington.
His plan is to build three trunk lines.
One north and south through Western
Washington; one east and west across
the Cascades and one up and down
the Columbia river. There is no
question that Washington needs good
roads but the people will never vote
a bond issue of S15. 900. 900 until there
is more definite system of road
making adopted. Washington has
probably had more experimental road
building than any new state in the
Union. Nearly every county engineer
has a plan of his own for road build
ing and likewise every supervisor is
equally fertile in methods Of spend
ing money on roads. So far none of
them have worked out plan of road
building in Western Washington that
can be heartily recommended. even
the hard surface roads that have been
built at the expense Of $40, 600 mile
are proving to be of doubtful value.
Until such times as reasonable
cheap road can be built which is
known to be lasting we doubt if the
voter will ever authorize a bond issue
OF such sum of money. The best
roads for Western Washington for all
purposes and every day wear are good
gravel roads. These roads are graded
just enough to keep the water Oft of
them and covered with about eight
inches of washed gravel or crushed
rock. They are not as dustless as
hard surface roads. and in winter
time there is thin coating Of mud.
But the expense of these roads is
such as the people can afford to pay,
and when properly made they are as
good road as the hard surface road,
which costs five times as much money
and their up keep is less. much to
the surprise of every man who has
not given this matter study. ID.

A Genuine 10th Century Cow
World" Wonder.

Here is a machine that is making
real news in the dairying world and
often called Genuine Goth Century
I Wonder.
Now, in one machine, while the
milking is being done the skimming
is done, without watching or inter
ruption, whether you have three COWS
or three hundred, as the Automatic
Self Contained Combination Cream
Separator and Gasoline Engine skim
faster than ten men can milk. With
capacity of over 100 pound per hour
only one size of this machine is neces-
sary.and from United States Govern
ment and State Experimental tests as
we'll as reports on thousands already
in satisfactory use the s,ssdependability
and skimming qualities Of the Auto
matte prove it to be remarkable
machine. The home separator prin-
ciple has unquestionably been the
right one for a dozen years, al
though the tendency of late has
been to run hand crank separators by
power where the farmer or dairyman
has an engine on his place. The
Automatic combine both separator
and engine power in one machine
and is really in class by itself be-
cause it is the first and only machine
that does this. From reports Of the
demand both in the best dairying
districts of the United States and
from Canada, South America, Aus
tralia and in fact all over the world,
it appears that the farmer is no longer
willing to "trade the sweat OF his
brow'' for less than three cents an
hour, what the Automatic costs to
run. The full speed of the bowl is
brought up in Is seconds and the
machine will run for hours without
watching or attention. The milk tank
can run dry as often as necessary
without churning or congeal1ng cream
in the bowl as the Automatic patented
milk food prevents this and the cream
will discharge evenly and smoothly
when more milk is poured into the
tank. The only bowl ever made that
can do this. The price of this ma
chine is astonishingly low and the
ARRANGEMENTS are offered by the manu-
facturers to accept old machines on
trade. These points and many others
even more interesting are fully cover
ed in large new book showing all
points with big photograph color

Hnloitg Our Patrons
Personal Hardware.

Not so many years ago pocket
knife was about the only piece of
personal hardware a man owned and
its uses were as many as woman's
proverbial hairpin. Now, however,
there is quite formidable list. Or
course knife is still indispensable to
the sex that has clothes with pockets.
There is practically no limit to knife
styles, ranging from the old style one
bladed barlow up to six or seven
blades, while inventive ingenuity has
added special stools" - nail files,
scissors, punches and so on-until
almost any knife fancy or taste can
be satisfied. But in addition to these,
mans hardware now includes razors
with concave blades or safety 1azors,
nail files, manicure scissors. nail
clippers, pocket scissors and perhaps
others in less common use.
A poor knife is an ever present
vexation, while to get an old-style
razor that will hold it's edge against
SUlu U0dEu Ike
the philosophers stone. There is
only one safe plan for the buyer to
follow; that is buy a trademarked
brand. All the 'hardware" mention
ed in this article can be had in the
famous Keen Kutter goods. The
meaning of this trademark is that if
what you buy is not satisfactory you
can get a new one in it's place or your
money back. You are the judge and
the dealer knows it, so there is never
any question or quibbling or chance
to feel that the dealer did not give
you a square deal.
For the ladies' there is a seemingly
unlimited assortment of shears and
scissors, buttonhole scissors, lace and
embroidery scissors, lamp-trimming
shears that can be bought singly or
in convenient sets.
On that next trip to town ask to
see these at your dealers. If he does
not handle them or will not have our
customer catalogue, write to the
Simmon Hardware Company, st.
Louis or New York for a copy. 1t is
book every farmer ought to keep at
hand for ready reference as it lists
almost everything in the way of tools
for household as we'll as individual
use. Keen Kutter tools of every
kind are famous for quality. They
are made upon the principle that
"the recollection--of quality remains
long after the price is forgotten.
