Their Life.
Colonel L. a. Stevens, state highway
commissioner. agrees with the officials
OF the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor club that only close supervision
will extend the life of the roads Of
the state.
In order to prove the plan advocated
by the motoring organization the COM
missioner will employ several men to
look after stretches OF roadbed about
three miles In length. These men will
be held responsible for the roads In
their care and will be instructed to
watch for defects and will be expect
ed to make repairs required immedi-
ately.
Supervision such as the railroads
employ Is what is necessary" said the
highway commissioner at conference
held with officials OF the New Jersey
Automobile and Motor club, who are
leading the motorists fight for better
roads.
Until we arrange for the personal
care Of roads our roads will be de-
stroyed Under the personal super
vision plan road repairs will be made
Immediately. The time to save a road
from destruction is when the first sign

The first good roads association in

county has built about 100 miles Of
macadam and sand-clay roads, grades

Gated. Asheyille has more than twice
doubled its pavement, having now

At almost every meeting of the coun'

tions for locating new roads must be
acted upon, and in most cases they are
approved with insufficient information
and with little consideration.
Most of the counties have more roads
than they need now and before pass

the county board should carefully in
vestigate whether or not 1t would be
public utility.
The law provides that the board may
appoint three viewers or that they may
act as viewers themselves. For the

should act as viewers in all cases, for
they are disinterested and can best

FIGHT LITTLE MELON APHIS
Best Way to Fight Pest Is to Burn
Infested Vines Where They Are
Same for Cucumbers,

Melon growers around Rocky Ford
Colo, where canteloupes are grown
extensively, find that the best way to
fight melon aphis is to burn the in
tested vines just where they are. At
least every other day they get over
their patch of vines and look for the
very dark green color and swollen,
watery appearance of the leaves OF
the plants. A little later the leaves
and vines take on a black, powdery
cast, that no one can mistake. The
leaves curl under, but do not begin
to wilt sometimes for days.
By keeping careful watch and de-
stroying the plants as they show the
presence of aphis, one can usually
control the pest Scatter straw over
the infested hill and burn at once.
To attempt to carry the vines to the
edge of the field will simply spread
the insect.
After burning hill keep careful
watch over adjoining hills, to see that
the insects have not spread. OF
course. the same treatment is recon-
mended for cucumbers.

Joke on the Doctor.

The physicians in Mankato had
agreed that during their Chautauqua
assembly they would employ a call
boy, and each was to pay his share
OF the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as it was en-
barrassing to him and looked as If
they were doing it to advertise with
out expense. So it all went we'll until
the afternoon when Strickland w. Gill
liland spoke. AS he was talking away
certain doctor had a call from the
platform, and he walked out rather
ostentatiously. Some of the people
who knew of the arrangement laughed
or snickered and the speaker got it.
He said. Don't laugh, folks That Is
the way my brother got his start"
And everybody roared.

PRETTY FLOWERS IN GARDEN
Great Beauty and Fragrance Of Sweet
Peas Make Them Most Popular
Must Have Support.

Sweet PEA vines must have good
support. Brush branches suit them
better than anything else, but these
are not always easy to get A good
substitute for brush is very coarse
meshed wire netting.
AS soon as the plants begin to
bloom begin to cut from them. The
more blossoms you cut of the more
you will have. II care is taken to
remove the blossoms as soon as they
begin to fade, the plants will continue
to bloom until frost comes; but II
seed Is allowed to ripen, you will have
but few flowers during the latter part
Of the season.
In cutting sweet peas give the flow.
ers as long stems as possible. Never
crowd them In vase or bowl. Just
bunch them loosely In the hand, and
then drop them into whatever is to
hold them. give 1t shape, and 10,
your flowers will have arranged them
selves to perfection.
No garden should be without some
sweet pea vines. The great beauty
and fragrance OF the blossoms make
them one of the most popular of flow-
ers.
