We believe that we sold enough neck
ties before Christmas so that every man

wearing new tie that was purchased
here.
The lady clerks received an express

We received letter from one OF the
merchants in Saguache asking for infor-
nation as to how closing at 6 o'clock in
the evening worked out here and il
same. We wrote them that we believed
everyone was satisfied here with the
stores closing at that time, and that
when we kept open on special occasions
except Saturday evenings the trade
would hardly justify the expenditure
for electric lights.
Please remember that on New Years
day we'll only be open short time in
the morning. The rest Of the day this
store will be closed.
We hope that you have seen the new

MAKING GOOD ROADS BY
BURNING UP POOR ONES
"Goubo' Road. After Being Fired

Blazing a trail OF good roads through
tho south Is not figure OF speech. bet
an actualliy. for many miles OF good
roads are being made by setting IRE to
poor ones, the result being what is
known az baked clay road.
There are no poorer roads In all the
United States than the ".umbo' roads
OF the south, gumbo being the name
given n certain Kind OF mud or clay
that is particularly sticky. cllngs tena-
cIously. seems TO have no bottom and
will not support any weight. Gurnbo,
however, contains Il large percentage
OF organic matter which Will burn

this material properly prepared and set
on fire energies from the Hery ordeal
as a perfectly good road and one. more
over. that stays 30 for considerable
period Of time.
The process OF converting q gumbo
road Into baked clay begins by pho wing
up the roadway and making bitches on
the sides. Cordwood Is laid in sort
OF flooring across the burrows which
run crosswise Of the road. Great humps
Of sticky guUbo are spread over this
floor, along with more wood loosely
strewn about. Then n second floor OF
wood Is laid and the whole covered
with gumbo, tamped and rounded OF.
Fire Is now set 10 the road, and the
flames rushing through the burrows.
which serve as hues. ignite the wood.
After the heat has driven the water
out OF the gumbo this. too ignites. and
the actual cooking process is 10 full

ut is moFe than merely drying ont
the gumbo," says Q. II. Claudy in Mo
tor. 1T is a popularity OF this gumbo
that at low temperature IL clinSers, and
these clinkers when broken up are
quite different from the original Jumps
OF gumbo. The clinker Is not only
fairly hard, but IL properly burned
Will not make mud when mixed with
water. In this ia the triumph OF the
burned clay road. When the fire has
burned itself out the roadmaker has
not only thorough mixture OF dry
clay and wood ashes. but good depth
Of gumbo clinker, which he promptly
proceeds to break into small pieces 10
spread evenly and finally 10 roll and
compact Into a real road"
To all intents and purposes the road
so made Is fine dry stretch OF crum
