MAKING GOOD ROADS BY
BURNING UP POOR ONES
sasmbe' Rosds After Being Ps+ss
Make Excellent Thoroushfares.

Blazing a trail Of good roads through
the south is not figure Of speech, but
an actuality. for many miles Of good
roads are being made by setting fire to
poor ones. the result being what Is
known as baked Gay road.
There are no poorer roads In all the
United States than the "gumbo" roads
of the south. gumbO being the name
given a certain kind of mud or clay
that Is particularly sticky. clings tena-
ciously, seems to have no bottom and
will not support any weight. Gumbo,
however. contains a large percentage
of organic matter which will burn
when dry. and as result road Of
this material properly prepared and set
on fire emerges from the fiery ordeal
as a perfectly good road and one. more
over. that stays so for considerable
period of time.
The process Of converting gumbo
road into baked clay begins by plowing
up the roadway and making bitches on
the sides. Cordwood Is laid in a sort
Of flooring across the furrows which
run crosswise of the road. Great Jumps
Of sticky gumbo are spread over this
floor, along with more wood loosely
strewn about. Then a second floor OF
wood Is laid and the whole covered
with gumbo. tamped and rounded on
Fire is now set to the road. and the
flames rushing through the burrows,
which serve as fiues. ignite the wood.
After the heat has driven the water
out of the gumbo this, too, ignites. and
the actual cooking process Is In full
swing.
ut is more than merely drying out
the gumbo." says C. 81. Claudy in Mo
tor. 1T is a popularity Of this gumbo
that at low temperature 1t clinkers. and
these clinkers when broken up are
quite different from the original Jumps
of gumbo. The clinker is not only
fairly hard. but If properly burned
will not make mud when mixed with
water. In this is the triumph Of the
burned clay road. When the fire has
burned itself out the roadmaker has
not only a thorough mixture Of dry
clay and wood ashes. but a good depth
Of gumbo clinker. which he promptly
proceeds to break into small pieces to
spread evenly and finally to roll and
compact into real road"
To all intents and purposes the road
80 made Is a fine dry stretch Of crum
bled brick.

DRUGGIST GIVES
''''''' MONEY BACK.
DOdSOn S Liver Tone Gets a Four Square
Guarantee from DR.. Wv. BrOCking-
TONS Drug Store.

When an article is sold druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof
of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons LIVER Tone. 1t is pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for a slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory-Cal-
omel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
out of a days work and maybe send
you to bed.
DR. w V Brockington sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantees it.
For you and for your children it's a
good thing to keep a hottie always
in the house.
DR. w V Brockington will giveyou
your money back if you think Dod-
sons Liver Tone is not worth the
price. Keep your liver working and
your liver will not keep you from
working" is good advice to 20 by.

Needed a Lawn Mower.

There was but one tonsorial chair In
the village barber shop, and 1t was oc.
cupied by a stalwart fellow, evidently
a blacksmith Judging from the stub,
born growth Of beard, the patron could
not have shaved but once week on an
average, for the growth was like q
scrubbing brush. The barber made a
lather, placed It all overt the countenance
Of the recumbent blacksmith, stropped
the razor vigorously and sailed into bis
work. After he had struggled long and
dangerously over his patron he felt
constrained to say:
"Ain't I hurtdn' your
mo-" answered the Plutonian gen.
tleman, still with energy.
II seem to be workin' hard without
gettin' there" commented the barber
further.

sympathetic voice, the officer inquired
Of the orderly in front Of the patient
whether each and every article Of diet

answered, "Yes. sir!'

And again would come from the or

At first the poor deaf and dumb

is, however, a limit to all endurance,
and it was for that limit that the Of
lcer waited. Fully convinced that the

Cough in young pigs Is very often
caused by dust in the bedding. Dry
short, chaffy oat straw Is most likely to
cause trouble in this way. The cough
often ends in fatal pneumonia. The
cough may also be due to exposure On
to damp sleeping places. Such causes
should be removed. Thumps In young

Of exercise. If both the mother and

Mexico City, Feb. 14.-At 8 o'clock
the battle ceased, while the combat
ants ate breakfast. During the lull
Madero sent a message to General
Diaz notifying the rebel leader that
he and his followers would be shown
no mercy unless they ceased firing in
such a way as to endanger non-com-
batants. Many persons were killed in
todays battle, half the number being
non combatants.
Despite Madero's message, and his
declaration that Diaz is violating the
rules Of civilized warfare, the federal
forces dragged cannon into position
beside the British legation, where the
rebels returned the fire. This action
resulted in severe damage to British
property.
Madero's soldiers are also firing
from roofs, compelling the rebels to
fire high, their shells falling in neu-
trail territory.

MOST IMPORTANT
OF ALL IS THE TAXES
SherlfT Esch Explains Why Neither He
Nor Deputy Went to SilyertOn
on Case.

THE taxpayers of Marion county
are not receiving the proper service
under the present law requiring the
sheriff to collect taxes" said Sheriff
Bsch this morning when discussing the
circumstances, which prevented him
from making an investigation Of the
assault made upon the person of Jen.
ME Rose in Silverton last Wednesday
night.
Sheriff Esch received a call to come
to Silverton and take charge of the
case, but was unable to respond in
view of the fact the work Of collecting
taxes is now in full swing and his
force Of clerks and deputies is so lin
tied that he is unable to leave the Of
flee then and, he said today, will not
attempt to discontinue his labors in
the department until the rush is over.
Tax Collection Important.
According to. Sheriff Esch, the col
lection of the Marion county taxes is of
supreme Importance at present. The
Sheriff has now the responsibility Of
taking care of 100000 of the peoples
money, and he don't propose to let
any matter come between him and
this duty.
Il would much rather go out on
cases than collect taxes" said Sheriff
Esch today, "but what can a man do
when your deputy hire is limited to
half the number of men necessary to
collect taxes, serve civil notices, work
on criminal cases and perform other
duties in connection with the Office
Some people say, why don't l send out
deputy? This is why-if / sent a
man to Silverton, my office force would
be crippled as there is no man who
can take an experienced mans place
during tax collection time Moreover,
If engaged another man to work on
the case, his salary would come out Of
my pocket, as there are no funds avail
able to pay an extra mans expenses"
