When Leaves Fall.

The call to the country is never SO
strong as in autumn. Custom and
commerce and society have conspired
to call men back to the city just when
the heat has passed, and the mellow
ing air and the coloring world 10 most
alluring in the country. When the
haze hangs over the hills, and leaves
are green and gold and scarlet, and
soft sunlight of Indian summer fills
the world, then the west wind stirs In
man the half extinct memory of his
hunting ancestors and he longs to
strike the trail for the unknown woods.
Then 1t is his primal instincts prompt
him to build wood fires and sleep I'M
der the starlit skies. But, alas! stern
necessity or feverish night Of winter
gaiety call most men back to the nerv.
GUS grind Of the world as 1t Is. But
only If we could strike the long trail
and answer the call of Indian summer
what wonderful high adventure, what
keen delight, and restful health we
might find over the rim yonder-from
whence the west wind comes.-Har

Base Ball story.

Here is a little story told recently
by Christy Mathewson and 1t may cast
a side light on some inside baseball
that will be interesting to the fans:
zone of the most serious things that
can happen in a game of ball. said
the mighty twirler, lis for the pitcher
to double cross his catcher. 1t was
not so very long ago that | did this to
Chief Meyers. In fact, l have been
guilty of that breach of baseball
etiquette on several occasions, but al
ways unwittingly. Now here's the
reason for my lapses: Meyers is nat
urally dark and when he becomes tan
ned HIS skin is unusually so. When
he puts his hand against his glove to
give the signal for the kind of pitch
he wants, it Is hard to tell whether
he has one or two fingers extended.
One finger might be the signal for a
curve and two for fast one. After
giving signal the catcher, naturally,
Ia looking for what he called, and
If the twirler throws something else.
the backstop might easily be injured.
This Is the first time in my long career
that the color of a catcher's hand
played such an important part in base
ball games. Every fan knows that the
face of backstop's glove becomes q
dark brown, and when, in addition, the
catchers hand Is tanned to an unusual
degree, it is some job for the pitcher
to tell the difference between one and
two fingers. ''-Leslie's.

EXHIBITION OF ROAD MODELS
Greatest Display Ever Shown In Any
Part Of World VIII Be Seen at
81 San Francisco In 1915.

Arrangements are to be made by
the United States department OF agr1-
culture, through Logan Waller Page.
director OF the Office Of public roads,
to place on exhibition in 1915 the
greatest collection of road models ever
displayed in any part Of the world.
The models will furnish exact dupli-
Gates Of the old Roman roads, French
roads, and all of the various types OF
modern roads. together with miniature
models OF road machinery operated
by electricity.
The office OF public roads made an
exhibit of road models for the first
lime at the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific ex'
position. The aim was to put on view
such striking examples in miniature
Of road models that visitors would
not only appreciate the benefcent ef'
fects Of improved highways. but would
7 at the same time be able to under
stand the methods of their construc-
ton.
Since the Alaska Yukon-Pacif1 ex-
position closed, the exhibition has
been displayed at various other expo
sitions and fairs. Since that time the
collection has been greatly augmented.
until every single type OF road 10
now represented and every known
device used in the making OF roads
has been reproduced in miniature.
AS a result Of the instruction fuf
nished by these road models. many
farmers have Joined forces to improve
their own highways. and the road
building movement has had grea'

MINUTE MEN" ARE SCARCE
Very Extensively by British
Flag Waooers.

How many readers of Answers
knows what q minute man" is?
He Is an army signaler who is SO
skilled at his work that, with the ordi,
nary signaling flag, he can send" the
seventy-two letters, signs and figures
which the Morse code contains in six
ty seconds AS some of the letters
have to be expressed by four move
ments of the flag, you can guess that
he has to be pretty smart. AS mat
ter OF fact, he has to jerk his flag to
and fro at an average rate OF five
times second.
There Is tremendous amount OF
competition for the distinction said
q minute man to London Answers
representative the other day but 1t
Is distinction 80 hard to obtain that
minute men are very scarce.
The regiment which has more than
one or two Of them in it's body of sig
nalers is lucky indeed.
las matter of fact he went on,
though people know SO little about
them, signalers are OF the greatest i'm
portance to an army In times of war.
Telegraph wires are rarely avail
able and field telegraphs are much too
clumsy for use when large stretch
OF country has to be covered by mo-
bile forces.
In war the signaler has hot time.
He has to choose rising ground for his
work. He cannot take advantage Of
cover as other troops can. The fash
Of his hello or the waving of his flag
makes a fine target and the enemy
know that 1t is good policy to shoot
signalers.
"One signaler know who was at
tached to mounted infantry corps
had three hello glasses broken by bull
let's while he was sending messages
in South Africa.
Another man had his flag shot from
his hand on two different occasions.
But in times of peace the signaler
Is rather to be envied. 1t Is true he
gets no extra pay. The war office does
not think much of him, and his only
cash reward Is bonus for passing
his annual examination.
but as rule, unless q regiment Ii
very much reduced, he is not called
upon to perform any fatigue duty. I'm
til few years ago, at any rate, hi
only carried cape ON route marches
instead OF the heavy kit of the ordi
nary private. Then, too in many regi
ments, the signalers have a room t
themselves, and only those who hav'
lived in big barracks know what ,
comfort that Is.
i When regiment is on the marcl
the colonel goes first. Then come
the pioneers, then the signalers, thel

"HOW TO KEEP HUSBANDS"
No Copyrighted Rules for Their Re-
tentlon-Matte Of Feeding I'm
portant Feature of Work.

How to keep husbands" Is coming
to be more important subject with
magazine writer's than "How to get
husbands" And perhaps it deserves
more consideration. The topic is not
copyrighted. Nearly everybody is TAX
ing hand in the discussion. It's our
turn.
Ninety-nine times out of 100 hus-
band can be kept by feeding him.
When he comes home tired. feed him:
when he finds fault with things, feed
him; when he complains about BUSH
ness or the weather, feed him; when
he has the blues about the hopes of
the home team, feed him; when he
laments the poor quality Of the last
set OF tires, feed him; when he's cross,
feed him; when he's angry, feed him;
when he's sick, feed him; always feed
him.
No husband who waddles or stalks
into his home of evenings, tired, wor-
ried, disguised, half angry, out of
sorts, can remain so after he has
filled up on juicy steak and warm
! pumpkin pie. No husband will object
to the pranks of the children that have
torn his magazine, or lost the sport
ing section of the evening paper, when
he has had good supper. No hus-
band will go to his work with the blues
If he has had the right kind Of break
fast
When great deeds are to be done
the well-fed man must be depended
upon to do them; when great ideas are
to be thought out, men with satisfied
stomachs are the ones to think them:
when skill is demanded, when strength
is required. when intelligence is
needed, 1t is the well-fed men who
come forward to fill the demands.
| On the eve Of great battle either
for his country or for his personal
welfare, the conqueror is the man who
eats good food and then marches forth
to victory. Depend upon it. feeding
the men of the world is as much a so
cial as an economic problem, and the
women upon whom 1t devolves to feed
their husbands, by doing it not only
keep their husbands, but keep the
world moving.

ROAD :
BUILDING
COST OF ROAD MAINTENANCE
Satisfactory Work Can BE Done
for Less Than $40 Per Mile.

VBy c. F. CHASE, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College.)
At the home farm in southeastern
Nebraska there Is a stretch of land
pne-half mile in length that we have
dragged for seven years. Only once
during this period has this road been
worked with anything but drag. Two
years ago the side bitches were
cleaned with the common road grader.
A careful record of the time taken
to drag this road has been kept Two
trips for one man and one team requir-
ling one hours time for single drag
ging is the basis taken. The first year
we dragged it Is times. the second Is,
the third II, and the fourth IL and the,
fifth IA times or II draggings OF one
hours time in five years. This Ks 30
cents an hour for man and team is
t4.26 year for the one-half mile. For
q mile 1t would be 1882 annually An,
other road In the immediate vicinity
cost less than $40 per mile annually.
A case is noted in Public Roads Bulle-
tin No. 48. United States department
of agriculture, where the cost of SIM
liar maintenance of roads in Arkansas.
was $11 per mile. State Engineer,
Gearhart Of Kansas puts the range Of
cost for dragging at from 81 to $40.
The cost for North Dakota should.
not cost more than $40 mile, while
In most cases 1t would be much less.
the cost depending upon the character
Of the soil. the rainfall, traffic and
grade. AS an average for all dirt roads
would place the annual cost OF main
tenance at $3.50 per mile or $460,740
to drag in q satisfactory manner the
roads In North Dakota one year.
The total expenditure on public
roads of North Dakota outside of
Towns in 1911 was $691. $40 II proper
organized, and II the people were
educated, we could properly maintain
our earth road with the present road
funds and have $23o,S00 left for
bridges, new construction, etc.
The national Office of public roads
recommends the patrol system COM
bining dragging. The Nebraska legis-
lature passed law that is not unlike
the patrol system. The substance OF
the law is as follows:
The graded roads in each county are
TO be divided into road dragging dis
tricts by the county boards. One per
son to each township is to be ap-
pointed superintendent OF dragging
and Is to receive not more than $3.50
per day.
Roads shall be dragged whenever
necessary, and all the sections OF the
highway shall be dragged at once
County boards may levy tax of not
to exceed one mill for road dragging
Where four horses are used on an
eight-foot drag, the rate of payment IL
rs cents for each mile Of highway
dragged both ways. Where seven
foot drag and two or three horses are
used, 60 cents is the prescribed rate.
On rocky highways or stretches o
road that cannot be improved by drag
ging the county boards are not re
quired to put the act into effect.
