UNITED STATES oFr1or OF PUBLIC ROADS.

UNITED STATES OFFICE OF PUBLIC ROADS
congress approved March 3, 1893, max
ing appropriation of $4,000 for the de-
partment of agriculture. The clause
relating to this work provided that the
secretary of agriculture should make
inquiries in regard to systems of road
management throughout the United
States, make Investigations In regard
to the best methods of road making,
prepare publications on this subject
and assist agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations in disseminating in
formation.
Since 1898 the total amount appro-
priated for the Office of public roads Is
1854. $780, and since its establishment
the Office has issued 40 bulletins. 80
circulars, 8 farmers bulletins. 81 year
book reprints and IS annual reports.
total of 1873 publications.
The Office has directed the construc-
ton of about 346 object lessons and
experimental roads, illustrating macad-
am, bituminous macadam, brick, graz
ell, sand-clay. shell and earth construc-
ton. The approximate expenditure on
these object lessons and experimental
roads by local authorities has been
$500, 1852, and the subsequent road work
due directly to the object lesson roads
represents expenditures running well
up into millions. Lectures and person
al advice by engineers and experts have
constituted prominent feature OF the
work of the office since its establish
ment. The road material laboratory
was installed in December, 1900, and
from that time to July /, 1911, about
$500 samples of road material have
been received from practically every
state in the Union and tested to deter
mine their character and value for road
building.
A Photographic laboratory was In
stalled in January, 1909, and has now
complete outfit. This was the direct
result of a great need for illustrated
lectures. The Office has now collec-
ton of about 5000 negatives and about
1000 slides. many of which have been
colored. These illustrate all phases OF
road work
Experiments have been conducted
with oils. tars, rock asphalt and vari-
Gus preparations for the purpose OF
preventing dust and preserving mac
adam roads from destruction under
modern traffic conditions. The Office
has conducted Investigations to deter
mine the feasibility OF the sand-clay
method of road building in the south
ern states as well as In the prairie
states, and this method Of construction
has been found to be quite practicable.
especially In the south
A study of the construction OF roads,
of natural soils by treatment with as
phaltic ellis. has been made and was
published In circular No. 80. The office
is conducting investigations on the use
of Stag as a road material and the
Improvement Of sand roads In parts OF
the country where clay is not accessi-
BILE. Practical efforts have been made
toward bringing about the more gener-
al use OF the split log drag in the main
tenance OF earth roads.
One of the unique and striking
exhibits at the Alaska Yukon Pacific
exposition consisted Of series Of min
fature models illustrating every known
type Of improved road and the Farious

2. A. MCLEOD.

Mr.. P. A. Mcleod died at his
home, Vernal, Miss, on Oct. "a, 1912
at II a m. Bro. Mcleod was b IN
Aug. %. 1852, not far from his home
where he died, being so wears and 20
days old.
He was a son of Norman Mcleod,
one of the old settlers of the County,
and was married to Miss Ella Bre-
land in 1889, whom he leaves with
eleven children to mourn on account
of his death.
It seems that he united with the
Salem Presbyterian Church early in
life, possibly when about 20 years
old. The record of that church not
being accessible, We can t give exact
date.
He united IN the organization OF
the Vernal Church, organized Feb.
80, 1880, and was installed an Elder
of this Church, in which capacity he
served till the time of his death. He
was an Elder in the Salem Church
before the organization of the Vernal
Church.
Bro. Mcleod was faithful in all the
relations of life.
AS Christian. he stood for high
ideals.
AS citizen, he was unselfsh and
stood uncompromisinglv for the
right. He was public spirited and a
strong advocate of Education ana
general improvement along all lines
of public interest.
AS husband and father, he was
kind and thoughtful.
It has been our happy privilege to
visit his home many times as his pas
tor and the teacher of his children,
and we were always impressed by bis
kindness in his home. and his
thoughtful care of us while there.
He provided well for his own house.
AS friend, he was true. His hand
and heart was ever open to those in
need or distress.
In the courts of the church he was
safe counsellor.
He bore his lingering illness with
that patience characteristic only OF
the true christian, expressing his
readiness and willingness to GO to his
reward, regretting only to leave his
family behind. Let us strive to JOIN
him in the land where there is no sor-
row.
He will be missed in many ways IN
the home and community.
A good father.or mother is an ines
Unable loss to the home.
None know but those who have
sustained this sore loss.
The greatest legacy that Bro. Nc
Leod hes left to his children is his
life, and may they use it with care.

not want

MARY TOUCHSTONE.

Tuesday night Oct. ID, 1912. while
the entire community was wrapped
in slumber the Death Angel visited
the home of Mr. and Mrs. j. }.
Tombstone and bore the spirit OF
Little Mary across that River from
whence no traveller ever returns.
Little Mary was taken sick at
school and few days later it was
decided by the Physicians in attends
ance that Paralysis had strong hold
on her, and her extreme youth too
considered, it was soon decided that
nothing could be done to restore her
to her natural health altho' every
thing that loving parents and faith
full friends could do was done to re-
lieve her suffering, but to no avail,
for on Tuesday night at 11:O5 her
soul took its flight back to the God
who gave 1t.
Little Mary was the second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. ]. Tombstone;
age 10 years, Z months any 2S days.
Weep not dear parents little Mary
is at rest free from sufferings and
pains pains-but ever strive to meet
her in that beautiful city.
After the funeral services she was
laid to rest in the Hopewell Gene
terry.

FAcrs ABOUT SOUTH POLE.

The south pole is situated on an
antarctic continent larger than Che
United States and With an AREA Of
S, 600. 900 miles.
The pole is on a tableland about
10. 900 feet above sea level.
The great ice barrier is a glacier
700 miles vide and hundreds of miles
broad in places; IT varies from 100
to 500 feet in height
The breaking off Of portions Of
this ice barrier each summer pro-
duces the greatest crop Of icebergs
in the world.
Mount Erebus belches steam and
lava within the circle Of eternal ice.
Il is probable that the south pole
itself is buried under ice 5000 feet
thick.
Vegetation in the antarctic conti-
neni consists entirely of moss; the
land animal life is limited to a spe-
ciss Of vineless insect very primitive
In form.
Penguins, great, awkward birds,
exist along the coast in some parts.
There is little snow on the lower
plateau. necessiiating explorers car
rying tents the surface is smooth
ice.
Deep crevices in the Beardmore
glacier render travel up II perilous.
Scientists claim that centuries ago
the south pole was a tropical region
filed with plant and animal life.
They also maintain that the pole
is never at the same place for two
consecutive years; that the earth
wabbles around considerably each IL
months.
