DISCUSS A DULUTH HIGHWAY
Through Thoroughfare to Be Advo'
Gated by Commercial Bodies OF
Three Big Cities.

Three enthusiastic good roads
boomers from Duluth met the other
day with the st. Paul Association OF
Commerce to enlist the help of that
organization in a systematic campaign
for obtaining a modern highway from
the twin cities to Duluth. Minneapolis
is expected to help also, and in short
time the Civic Commerce association
and the Minneapolis Automobile club
will be called into the movement.
The conference was informal and no
action was taken, beyond an assurance
by the St. Paul men that they would
join hands with the state, the coun-
ties and the local communities in the
plans of the Duluth men.
The latter realize that while the
twin cities and Duluth will derive the
greatest benefit from the proposed
highway, the bulk of the cost will fall
on the counties lying between, Wash
ington, Chisago, and Pine, and they
purpose first to carry on systematic
campaign of education, through Sc
ries of county meetings and confer
ences at which an effort will be made
to prove to these counties that the
road will be worth more to them than
it will cost them under the Elwell act.
Residents of Sandstone are reported
to be enthusiastic over the through
highway idea because they are salts
fed that such a road, aside from fur
nishing good road for local transpor-
tation, will attract heavy automobile
traffic both ways from which every
city and village will profit

UNIQUE TOY FOR SMALL BOY
Old Mans Leg Swings and Dandles
Youth Upon Foot-Weight Keeps
Up Motion for Long Time.

What small boy has not ridden "A
cock horse to Banbury Cross" or
wherever the town was? A Missouri
man has devised toy which portrays
this operation in an amusing fash
lon. The figure of an old man, prob
ably meant for grandfather, is seated
on chair. One leg is crossed over
the other and swings on a pivot. A
balancing weight is secured to the
upper end of the moving leg, and this
weight moves with the hollow body

CONDUCIVE TO SOCIAL LIFE
Easy Matter to Drive to Neigh
bors or Elsewhere.

By W. c. PALMER. Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
One of the needs of country life Is
a better social life. It has been found
that good roads are conducive to So
cial life on the farms. When the road
is good 1t is an easy matter to hitch
up and drive over to the neighbors,
to church, to the picnic, to the enter
tainment at the school house. The
good road Is also followed by better
school and better home The better
road also makes the community more
attractive and the better class Of peo-
pie will want to live there The good
road also makes It possible to market
the farm produce more easily and
cheaply, and at all times Of the year.
These things result in the good road
making the land worth more. The
good road is to the farm what the
railroad Is to the city.

ROADS BADLY WASHED
Damage More Extensive on
Grades Than Level Stretches.
In Sandy Sections Wash May Be Ef.
fectlvely Stopped by Use Of Two
Inch PIanks-Clay Road Re-
quires Different Treatment

After hard or prolonged rains. roads
which have been constructed with a
fat surface are often quilted In the
center, or. il the road was well
crowned, the cutters or bitches are
usually badly washed.
AS a rule, the damage is more ex-
tensive on grades than on level
stretches. This is because the dam
age in general depends on the velocity
of water, and this, of course, is con-
trolled by the steepness of the slope.
says the Fruit Grower and Farmer Il
the water cuts bitches very deep. it
might be advisable to reduce the
grade of the road. If possible. either
by cutting down the summit or filing
at the foot of the hill, or both. 1t must
be remembered this is likely to be
economical in the end even IL the
first cost seems high, since it win not
only save. on future maintenance, but
will decrease the tractive force re-
quired to pull load at this point.
There are, however, many grades
that cannot be changed. because of
local conditions.
In sandy sections, the wash may be
effectively stopped by two-inch planks
from six to twelve inches wide. and
cut into three-foot sections These
short planks are sharpened on one
end, and then enough of them to COW
er three feet in width of the gutter or
ditch are driven in edge to edge for a
depth of more than three feet, at right
angles to the grade of the road. II
they are driven In little more than
flush with the gutter, there is no dam
ger of the road machine or drag strik-
ing them.
In a clay section, it is practically
impossible to drive a plank three feet
without splintering it. The method Of
construction is entirely different from
that described for sandy sections. Old
logs or railroad ties, II they can be
secured, are better under these condi-
tons. They should first be cut into
four-foot lengths. Trenches then are
sunk in the cutters at right angles to
the road, and the tie or log is placed
in the trench. Where the wash Is
severe, several logs are placed direct
ly over each other, like the fash
board In dam. The top log or tie is
placed at least four inches below the
gutter In order to prevent it from COM
ing in contact with road drag or
road machine in operation. The ties
or logs are placed from 20 to 60 feet
apart, according to the grade OF the
hill. and it is an easy matter to In
sert one whenever required
The chief advantage gained by this
use Of logs or planks Is that deep and
dangerous bitches which are not only
q menace to travel. but also make the
road narrow, are removed When the
planks or logs are used. the entire
width of the road can be used by the
public, and the road is always safe.
Many sand beds thar are bad at all
seasons can be improved By! mixing
clay with sand by means of q plow
and harrow and then using the road
drag systematically. On the other
hand, many clay sections that are bad
in wet weather can be improved BY
first blowing and then mixing In sand
by means Of the harrow. and finally
using the road drag.

BERGER WILD BUT EFFECTIVE IN
PINCHES; BUCKS WIN CLOSE GAME

With both teams strengthened by
new acquisitions from the disbanded

Bert Fitchner, the great speed spec
ialist, was sticking them over for the
Braves and his control was better
than in any game he ever pitched
here His worst inning was the sec
ond when he issued a couple of pass
es but even then he would probably
have prevented any scoring had his
support not have been faulty
Joe Berger was in peculiar form
His saliva slants were wilder than
they have been for a long time and
at the same time they were more
battling. Not an inning that he did
not allow men to get on bases but
in critical moments he rose to the oc-
casion and pulled out of the holes. In
this he was helped by his teammates
who gave him errorless support when
he most needed it.
In both the first and the ninth in
nings. the visitors filled the bags with
only one down and they accomplish
ed the feat without the assistance of

in the first inning and Bergers strike

last.

ball caromed off Fuller's glove into
the center of the diamond. Haworth

Jameson to canter to the platter.
After that inning, Fitchner helC

but one more hit and issuing but two
more passes.
