Along the Garden Paths.

When watering plants do not force
the water against the plant: let it fall
In the form of a shower.
Cabbage and all other plants Of the
cabbage family require a very fertile
and cool. moist soil for good growth.
Carrots are splendid for folks who
need iron in their blood One of the
best ways to get it is to eat these nice
roots.
Sunshine, rainfall and temperature
are three important factors in canta-
loupe culture beyond the control of the
grower.
Ii your beet rows are 100 thick pull
out some and boil them for greens.
Nothing better in the world for this
purpose.
Let no cucumbers go to seed or the
productiveness of the vines will be
stopped. Pick them often. whether
you want them or not
AS fast as the boxes. frames and
stakes have done their work take
them out. SO that no insects will make
their homes about them
Ii it is dry slip a can or two Of wa
ter on the stone boat and let the
horses draw it out to the garden for
use on the celery and things that most
need water. 1t will pay you when
you come to gather in the harvest.

FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Growing Interest In Good Roads In the
Mssissippi Valley.

MiSSISSIPI)I v dlISJs
Country wide interest in the i'm
provement and maintenance of public
highways is nowhere more pronounced
than in the middle west. There are
under consideration by legislative
bodies and motoring organizations in
the Mississippi valley several projects
for the betterment Of road conditions
One of the most formidable of these
undertakings is that by which 1t is
hoped to link Chicago and Milwaukee.
A gift Of 81 900 toward a $4,000 fund
to be devoted to the building and
maintenance of roads in Kenosha
county. Wis. was the first step toward
this project. The gift was made by
Charles T Jeffrey in behalf of the
Thomas B. Jeffrey company. of which
he is president With the completion
of the proposed Chicago Milwaukee
highway will be established the first
leg in a route that will take the mo-
torists from the hills and lakes Of Wis
consin over the prairies Of Illinois to
the Mississippi river at St. Louis.
1.-The gift was made by this COM
pany." said Jeffrey. because we are
interested in the building OF, good roads
in Kenosha county and because we
appreciate the demand for improve
ment that is being made by those who
have occasion to use our roads. We
are hopeful that the movement will be
a general one. for we are in hearty
sympathy with those who advocate the
cause of improved highways"

GOVERNOR WARNS
COMMON CARRIERS
West Serves Notice of Intention
to Prosecute Shipments OF
Liquor Into Dry Territory.

Portland.-With District Attorney
Cameron sustained in his office by the
ruling of Judge McGinn, and H. M.
Esterly, appointed by the governor to
Bupplant Cameron, recognized as a
special prosecutor to handle the vice
cases exclusively and Independent OF
the district attorneys office, Governor
West started a movement against the
common carriers and the liquor in
erests of Portland, which was made
public in an open letter to these in
terests given out by the governor
The governors letters to the COM
non carriers and the liquor dealers
teclared that investigation had con-
inced him that liquor was being sold
and shipped into dry territory, and
Notified them of his intention to take
drastic steps against such procedure
The plan which the governor has
outlined relative to the shipment OF
liquor into dry territory, is applicable
alike to both the breweries and the
railroads. Briefly, he will ask that
all liquor shipped into dry territory
be plainly labeled as to it's contents.
When received at it's destination he
asks that the railroads instruct their
agents that on the day of it's arrival a
description of the shipment and the
name of the consignee be posted in a
conspicuous public place in the freight
warehouse. This list to be open to the
public and peace officers, and the rail-
roads will hold such shipments for
one day following their receipt, to
give the officers an ample opportunity
to determine to whom liquor is being
shipped and to make an investigation
as to what use the liquor is intended.
The governor has directed District
Attorney Brown, of Roseburg, to start
proceedings at once against the Rose
burg Brewing & Ice company. "Offic-
ers of this company have been indict-
ed for selling beer when the brewery
is supposed to manufacture and sell
near-beer, and l am asking the prose
cutor to take immediate steps in rela-
ton to the brewery ITSELF" said the
executive.

PROBLEMS OF STATE MANY

Washington Diplomats Perplexed Over
Conditions In Latin America.
Washington-With the Nicaraguan
revolutionists split into small bands
of marauding outlaws, as recent re-
ports to the state department seem
to indicate, the United States has on
it's hands more difficult diplomatic
questions to solve regarding the coun-
tries Of Latin America than ever be-
fore in history.
The apparently spent revolution
against the Madero government in
Mexico, the attacks of the police Of
Panama on Americans, the uprising
against the federal government in
Cuba and the question of the collec-
ton of the customs Of Santa Domingo
have drawn the state department into
difficult relations with the people of
those respective countries.

"BUILD ALL THE
ROADS YOU CAM"
This Is the Working Slogan Of the
Kansas Farmers.

If you can't build a lot of road. build
all the road you can. This is the policy
of the farmers of Washington county,
Kan. particularly between the towns
of Palmer and Linn. These farmers try
to build some road every year and keep
it in repair. but they have an annual
road building bee. when every one is
supposed to turn out and work.
One of those annual workfests took
place a few days ago. when A. R.
Losh, assistant state highway engineer
at the Kansas Agricultural college, &C.
copied an invitation to build one mile
of road in any way that suited him. A
big drill was given attended by $50 per
sons. One hundred and fifty men
worked all day on this mile. with sixty
teams. two traction engines. six grad
ers and dozens of women and girls to
encourage the outfit.
Mr. Losh had the mile graded thirty
feet wide including cuts: laid the
bitches straight. gave the banks the
proper slope so that they would not
cave in and cause blockades. reduced
two very steep hills to a reasonable
grade and pulled all the brush and
young trees that interfered with the
smooth working of the road. The
leaders in this enterprise were W. E.
Wilson of Washington, S. II. Hamilton
of Clifton. H. W Stems and Henry
MeierkOrd of Linn and ]. A. Clark and
uoprv Of Painnr
Mr. Losh accepted an invitation re-
Gently to go to town in southeastern
Kansas, where the motor club men,
bers said they were in favor Of good
roads After he had worked one day
he discovered the motor club had plac-
ed limit of $3.50 a mile for model
road building The work stopped that
evening

BOOMING FOR BETTER ROADS.

Good roads will enable the
farmer to deliver his products on
any day of the year and get ad-
vantage of the most favorable
market, while bad roads compel
the farmer to take the other fell
lows price at time when the
other fellow knows the farmer
must deliver.
Every mile of road built in a
community will increase land
value, improve morals, elevate
citizenship, stimulate trade, beau
tffy the country, promote educa-
tional interest, raise the stand
ard of religion and add to the
health and happiness of the peo-
pie.
The farmer must have good
roads to market his products,
which are his only means of pro-
curing money with which to pur-
chase the articles of manufacture
for sale by local merchants.
The farmer, the manufactures.
the miner, the merchant, the
residents of cities and villages,
the traveller and the people in
every walk of life demand good
roads.

DETERMINE THE
SPEED OF LIGHT

Light travels at the astonishing
rate of $4,000 miles second.
To the layman this seems incred-
ible, and the first question that pops
into his head is how do they go
about 1t to measure light. There is
Il delicate instrument used in meas
uring light which throws a beam of
light upon revolving disk. There
was some debut about the figures OBJ
tanned in this way until 1t was
found that when the earth was in
the part of its orbit nearest to Jul
piter eclipses occurred 16 minutes
elrli,b than when 1t was in the
part, whereas by all
rules of astronomy they should have
occurred at the same minute. each
time. 1t was deduced from this that
the light was not Instantaneous, and
consequently took 1G minutes to ira
verse the diameter of the earth's or
bit, distance Of about 200 million
miles, thus giving to light velocity
of $4,000 miles n second. which was
shown later by other ex-
perimcnts.
