ONE ROAD BUILDING FAILURE
Constructed by inexperienced
Men Shows Results.

About forty years ago, Adams coun.
ty, Ohio. issued bonds to improve part
of its main roads. At that time very
little vas known about the science OF
road making. Usually a local man
undertook the contract for a certain
piece Of work and secured local help
as inexperienced as he. Very little, II
any, attention was paid to the char
acter of the bed upon which the stones
were to be laid and still less to the
different qualities of stones secured
from the quarries near by. Hard and
soft stones we're placed side by side
as brick are now laid m our common
street paving, says a writer in an ex-
change. After a few years Of wear
and erosion, with no attention given
to repair, these roads were in a con
dition almost worse than before i'm
provement. Adams county is a good
example Of a COMMUNIST that has i'm
proved roads and has pad no atten-
ton to their up-keep. A few hundred
dollars spent judiciously on each road
would have kept them In good condi-
ton for many years. AS conditions
are now. enough money has been
spent to have the best Of roads, but
because OF lack Of proper care, they
are only second or third class and
the county Is still heavily In debt for
these roads.

PUBLIC ROADS OF COUNTRY
Increased Mileage of Highways With
In Period of About Five Years
Has Been 1926.

Even with a high-powered automo'
bile that could keep up a pace of 80
miles a day indefinitely, 1t would take
a man more than 65 years to cover
all the public roads in the United
States. A young man Of tv ~
starting out to accomplish this ire
mendous task would be eighty-Ave
before he had covered the last mile
of public highway in this country.
After an investigation extending
v many months, the director of the
office of public roads has ascertained
that there are now 2,199, GAS miles Of
public roads in the United States.
The figures include all the new roads
built up to the year 1909. In 1904
there were exactly 2,151,379. 1t Is
apparent, therefore, that the increased
mileage of new roads within a period
of about five years has been 1926.
"The investigation just concluded"
said the director, in an interview,
shows conclusively that the move
ment for the improvement of public
highways has obtained a firm grip on
the country. The percentage of roads
which are really improved amounted
to ia in 1904, while in 1909, to which
year statistics are now available, the
percentage was S.66.
ct is interesting to observe the
growth of improved methods in road
construction. For instance, the total
mileage of stone roads in 1904 was
36,S1S, while in 1909 it was 59,237.
The total mileage Of gravel roads in
1904 was 100, 905, while In 1909 it was
only 102, $50. This decrease in gravel
roads, however, was due to a re-

EVERYTHING IN THE PLANTING
Trees Designed to Grace Streets Must
Be Put Down With the Utmost
Attention to Detail.

Now that street planting season Is
at hand it is pertinent to put forth our
annual warning about hasty and care
less planting of street trees. Owing
to the narrowness of the parkways,
street trees do not have o%ne-fourth the
chance of growth and development
found in the open field, and therefore
most excellent preparations should be
made. Dig all holes for trees both
large and deep-it matters little how
large-all trees will thrive better with
Increased size of hole. Nature has
been compacting the soil for millions
tof years; after being dug up it will
take many years to again become as
hard as before even though no fer
tilizer or other subject is mixed with
the soil before replacing in the hole.
Well-rotted stable anu Is always
a good material to mix with the soil
whether the latter be light O. heavy
in texture. The nearer either ex-
IRENE it comes, the greater such need.
Refill the hole, settle with water and
in a few days or a week plant your
tree. During a street tree convention
the veteran j. H. Reed said: IF had
a dollar to spend for a tree, l would
rather put a 10 cent tree in a 90-cent
hole than a 90-cent tree in a 10-cent
hole"

NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL WORK
Civic Organizations Have a Great Part
to Perform in Creating a City
Beautiful.

A great part of the task of bringing
back the country into the town must
necessarily be done by local pub
lie authority. To influence them to
do the work courageously needs the
formation of a strong and sound pub
lie opinion. We have to create an
enlightened sentiment, which will give
full weight to the value of human
health and happiness. After all, a
man is worth more than a bank vault.
The making of good and healthy men
and women is the first consideration
of all.
But public authorities alone must
not be relied upon to do the work.
The machinery of governments is too
slow, complicated, and heavy to do all
that is required in the best way. We
need also the inspiring effect Of indi-
vidual work in voluntary organiZa-
tons. These pioneer the way long
ahead of the possible action of pub
lie authorities. They find u what
is wanted to be done and how to do
it. They educate all of US who take
any part in the work, however small
the part may be. They create the very
public opinion we need in order to
bring about in our cities a full reunion
of country delights with town ad-
vantages.

VINE ALWAYS A BEAUTIFIER
Harshness of Architecture Relieved by
Soft Folds and winnings De-
4 signed by Nature.

A house very often reminds one OF
a huge box set down in the midst OF
a landscape with which it is wholly
out of harmony. To overcome the ef-
feet of its rising too abruptly from the
site, n should plant shrubs about the
foundation, to fill In the hard angle
between ground and walls. To tie the
house to the ground, in effect, to Gov
ser the corners and other straight lines,
thereby relieving the architecture OF
its harshness, softening and harmon
izing all, this is the mission of the
vine-nature's mantle of perfection
hiding the huge piles of ugliness rear
led by man, and which he has deluded
himself into believing are master
pieces of art. Very few are, however,
! masterpieces in the eyes Of those who
know, and the vine, like the mantle OF
charity, covers a multitude of sins.

HOW TO MAKE HEAD CHEESE
Nothing Hard About Operation, but
Certain Rules Are Well to
Keep In Mind.

Cut a hogs head into four pieces.
Remove the brain, ears, skin, snout
and eyes, cut off the latest parts for
lard. Put the lean and bony parts to
soak overnight In cold water in order
to extract the blood and dirt. When
the head Is cleansed put 1t over he
fire to boil, using water enough to
cover 1t. Boil until the meat sepa-
rates readily from the bone. Then
remove 1t from the fire and pick out
all Of the bones. Drain off the liquor,
saving a part Of 1t for future use.
chop the meat up finely with a
chopping knife. Return 1t to the
kettle and pour on enough Of the
liquor to cover the meat. Let 1t boil
slowly for fifteen minutes to a half
hour. Season to taste with salt and
pepper just before removing it from
the fire. Turn 1t into a shallow pan
or dish. Cover with a piece Of cheese
cloth and put on a board with a
weight to make it solid. When cold
1t should be sliced thinly and served
without further cooking.

Frying Bacon.

When frying bacon. put the sliced
meat into a colander or sieve and pour
boiling water over it. Let it stand in

Good Housekeeping. Absorb the wa

The Rjoht Side.

A clerk in a linen counter gave me a

If one draws the linen between thumb
and finger, one side Of the goods is
distinctly rougher than the other. The
rough feeling side is the right side.

ing bee n afternoon, where five or
six ladies were making towels. All
agreed that they had often spent a
great deal of time trying to decide
which was the right side of the buck

on towels that day found that their de.
cision had been wrong.
