An excellent new material is coming
into extensive use for kitchen floors.
1t is flooring made from squares of
cork. pressed under powerful weights
and baked. Each tile 10 about one-haif
inch thick. in the natural cork browns.
The tiles are set into plaster base
and become part OF the floor. They
are expensive. but for permanent
home they cannot be exceIled, as the
flooring thus produced is impervious
to wear and will not absorb grease or
water. The great point is the restful-
ness to the feet that such surface
gives, besides its sanitary and artistic

Mexico City.-What may become for
the government more awkward situa-
tion than that caused last week by rebels
successes in the north was the cutting
of the railroad from Tampico to San
Luis Potosi Over this route all the
fuel oil used by locomotives is moved,
and it will now be necessary to ship
from Tampico to Monterey.
The Tampico-Monterey line has been
cut repeatedly and has only been tenn
porarily repaired. If this is cut again
and the rebels prevent repairs between
Tampico and San Luis Potosi, it viii be
necessary to use the west coast ports

THE GRANGE AND THE FARMERS

The railroad managers are perhaps

Undoubtedly to j. j. Hill must be
accorded the credit Of originating this
movement, and to him and his asso-
ciates should be given the credit for
financing such organizations as the

and for the great publicity given to the
so-called better farming movement.

the further fact that the farmer has

Minerva Drags 14

Minerva township probably gets Its
roads dragged for q lower price thar

Twenty cents mile Is the price, ac-
cording to Robert Il. Wantz clerk Of

road dragging in that part of the coun-
ty was learned in an incident that IL.
Illustrates the reluctance of some boards
of trustees to comply with the letter Of
the new road laws.
The law makes 1t mandatory for
trustees to levy l mill for road drag
ging. When the Minerva levy came in
only " mill had been levied by the
trustees for this purpose. So Auditor
Wellker communicated with the
trustees, and pointed out the necessity
of complying with the law
Mr. Wantz replied that the township
had enough money left from its read
fund of 1912 to drag the roads all dur
ing 1918, and that 1t cost less to drag
roads in Minerva township. There
dragging Is done, he said, with double
drag and two teams With such equip
ment one man could drag three miles
an hour, Mr.. Wantz said. The state
allows 81 mile, but he wrote his
township got it done for 20 cents a
mile, nov what do we need with the
money he wrote.
But the auditor was firm, and finally

only board of the county that had not
levied the mill for road dragging, in
creased its levy to that amount
