by side bitches alone. If the road
were built higher like railroad
EN- bankment across such low land
and made with crown, it would
be dry and hard. Sometimes a
road passes through what is called
a cut. This is a place where the
earth has been dug out so that the
road can 60 over a hill without be-
ing too steep. The water which
always flows quietly under the
ground is known as ground water
In road cuts such water some
times makes the road very muddy,
and the road then needs what road
builders call underdrainage. A
good kind of underdrainage is a
trench to go along under the side
drain and about 3 feet deep and a
and foot and a half wide. In
this trench a pipe is laid near the
bottom and covered with loose
stones no bigger than an egg.
When the trench is completely
filled with loose stones the ground
water, instead of soaking into. the
roadway, will stop among the
stones and flow down the hill
through the pipe.
TO keep the road smooth and
crowned the best method is to drag
it with road drag. A road drag
is made easily with two halves of
a log which has been split. The
log should be about 6 or s inches
in thickness and about 6 or 8 feet
long. The two halves of the log
are set 3 feet apartwith thesmooth
faces forward and upright. They
are then fastened together with
braces set in holes bored through
the log. A pair Of horses may be
used to drag the road and are hit
ched to a chain fastend tothef front
half of the log. The road drag
should move forward so that it
slants across the road in such
way that small amount of earth
will slide past the smooth face of
the log toward the center of the
road, thus forming the crown. The
edges of the logs will smooth out
the ruts. The best way to drag is
to begin at the side ditch and go
up one side of the road, and then
down the other In the next trip
the drag should be started little
nearer the center and the last trip
over the road the drag may work
close to the center itself. Small
ridges of earth will be thrown in
the horse track and smeared by
the round side of the log smooth
ly over the road The smearing
of the earth by the drag is called
pudding" and it tends to make
the surface of the road smooth
and watertight after the sun comes
out. The road is always dragged
after it has rained and not when it
is dry. A good, strong pair of

country road after a shower you
will see small puddles along the
wheel ruts and sometimes larger
pools. This water stays on the
road surface because it can not
drain away into the side bitches.
If you look closely you will see
side bitches which have grown up
with bushes and weeds in many
cases, and which are so far from
the travelled part of the road that
the rain water does not drain into
them. That part of the roadway
where the wagons travel is called
the travelled way. TO prevent wa
ter from standing on the travelled
way the road should be raised in
the center and should slope gently
into broad shallow bitches.
1t is then said to have a crown.
If it is 10 feet from the center of
the ditch to the side ditch, the
surface at the side ditch should be
at least 10 inches lower than it is
at the center where the horses
travel. The road then has TO-
inch crown. The rain that falls on
a road properly crowned will run
quickly to the side and not soak
into the surface or form pools.
The side bitches for surface water
should run parallel to the right of
way, and should be open at every
low point SO that the water can run
out of them into neighboriDg
brooks or streams. If the bitches
merely collect the water from the
road surface and it can not run
away, large pools will be formed
along the roadway, which will
gradually soak into the soil be-
meath the read and make it so soft
that the wheels of wagons will cut
through the road surface and soon
destroy it.
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road and
forms a little stream down the
wheel tracks or in the middle
where the horses travel. When
driveways into farm yards are
built across the side bitches they
frequently form channels for water
from the farm yard to run into the
road. The pipes under driveways
become filled with leaves or rub.
bish and the water can no longer
run away. If the driveways that
stop the ditch water were rebuilt
80 that no pipes were necessary
and the ditch could be left open,
much trouble from surface water
would be stopped.
Sometimes a road runs across
low ground or through a swamp
where the road can not be drained

ASK FOR A UNION
First Step Toward Presbyterian
Consolidation.
Northern Assembly Author
ICES Its Proposals.

Atlanta, May 19.-The Northern
Presbyterian general assembly today
unanimously adopted resolution
authorizing the transmission of pro-
pOSalS for an organic union to the Su-
preme judiciaries of all the Presbyter-
ian churches in America. The resolu-
ton was contained in the report of the
special committee on church co-opera-
ton and union.
Commissioners to all the assent lies
of the big branches of Presbyterianism
resumed their work today with indica-
ton that the present week s labors
would develop some of the most I'M
portant actions yet taken in the mat
ter of committee reports and the set
tlement of many questions brought up
in overtures from country wide con-
stituency.
In the Northern assembly the pro-
ceedings today were featured by the
publication of majority and minority
reports by the committee appointed
to consider differences between the
church and the union theological sem
mary of New York city. Since all re-
lations between the institution and
the church which founded it were
broken off because of the alleged here
teal beliefs of members of the semi
nary faculty, it has been expected by
many Presbyterian laymen that an
amicable adjustment mutually benefit
cial might be arranged and to this
view the majority of the committee
agreed asking for another years time.
In two minority reports, however, the
task is regarded as hopeless.
DIR. Frank C. Monfort of Cincinnati,
submitted minority report in which
he declared that members of the fac
ulty of the union theological seminary
had failed to answer important ques-
tions regarding their belief and that
the answers they had given indicated
that they had no right to be recog-
nized as orthodox PreSbyterians

Unlimited Possibilities for

Washington. May 19.-An amend
ment to the tariff bill introduced to-
day by Senator Kenyon proposed that
when any corporation or concern was
adjudged a monopoly its products
should automatically go on the free
list. Mr.. Kenyon hopes the finance
committee may favorably consider the
amendment, but if not, he will press
IT on the floor. The proposal has all
most unlimited possibilities for over
turning schedules.
The question OF. whether products
of concerns reorganized since the SUI
preme court held them to be mono
poles, might still be under monopol-
istic control, also would enter into the
application of the law should the Ken
yon amendment be incorporated.

nittee plan to meet every day this
week to consider the wool, cotton,
sugar and chemical schedules of the

Big COTTON AREA.
Department of Agriculture Finds I'm
mense Acreage in South.

Washington, May 19.-The area plant
ed to cotton in the United states last
year, and which was under cultivation
at the end of June, was $4,000 acres
more than the department of agrlcul-
ture estimated in it's preliminary report
in July. A special investigation was
made by the department and with the
assistance of the census bureaus re-
port on the quantity of cotton ginned
it reaches the conclusion that the area
planted was 4.766. 900 acres instead of
"a, 097 900 acres, the preliminary estl-
mate.
The area picked is estimated at 34,2S3,-
900 acres indicating that the area
aba ndoned was less than IA per cent
The revised figures will be used by the
department in making its cotton acre
age estimates this year in July
Revised estimates place the acreage
yield at 1909 pounds instead of 1882
pounds as preliminary estimated.

Two Men Want Divorce.

Two men have filed suits for divorce
in the district court. Both charge
abandonment, but one of them makes
the additional charge that his wife in
sisted upon working out for her liv-
ing, and refused to permit him to sup
port her, a novel arraignment for the
divorce court.
w. F. Jones says he was married
October is, 1912, and that his wife,
against his wishes and desires, insist
ed upon working out and failed and
refused to keep house for him. He
says that since January 1, last, she has
treated him as a total stranger, and
refuses to have anything to do with
him.
Frank H. Bunds says he was mar
ried to Emma L. Wilson on Septem-
Der 10, 1905. She abandoned him, he
saws on March IS, 1911. He wants a
decree of divorce and asks the court
to restore his wife's maiden name to
her.

City Jail Is damned.

Some action toward relieving the
congested condition of the city Jail
will be taken at once, it is announced
The action probably will be a request
for an addition to the present prison
that will be made to the city commits
sion.
Last night the city Jail housed So
people of all races and ages. There
were white men, colored men, Indians
and Mexicans in a conglomerate ma SIS
huddled together in the main portion
of the jail. There was no chance for
some of them to sleep for the hunks
all were occupied.
The prison has been renovated and
has been cleared of vermin that in
fected it, the police say, but the pen
is still too small to accommodate the
crowds that are patronizing the hotel.
Work in refinishing the basement
of the city prison is being pushed
rapidly, and some of the prisoners
may be transferred there when the
work is completed. At least it will
give additional prison room. But
there will still be a heavy shortage of
space.
