After the material is found the process
of building the road is simple. Before
placing any sand-clay on the road the
road should be graded to the desired
width. Most engineers prefer to have
a width for the road of about twenty
feet. exclusive Of side bitches. which
are each usually about three feet wide.
Sand-clay is cheap. and 1t Is best that
sixteen feet of the graded width twen

should be fat or slightly convex. The
sand-clay should be put on from eight
to twelve inches in thickness. depend
ing on the character of the subgrade
or foundation. Where you have a hard
clay for foundation eight inches of
sand-clay will suffice. IT the founda-
tion is sand it is well to put on as
much us twelve inches Of the surfacing

it to smooth and crown the road before
the top becomes too hard.
After the machine work it is well to
follow with split log drag. which
snooths any rough places left by the
machine and leaves the road with

borne in mind that a sand-clay road.

/ the work appears to be failure. This,
/ however, Is just what Is needed to

road has dried until in plastic state
It should be dragged until the surface
is once more smooth, with the proper
crown, and should be kept this way by
dragging ut 4east once day until the

mistake of keeping traffic off during
this process of resetting should not be
made. The continuous tamping of the
wheels of the wagons and hoofs Of
i horses is needed to pack the sand-clay
into homogeneous mass.

OHIO WAKING UP.

Court Decision Gives State Nine
Thousand Miles Of Highways.
The state Of Ohio. which heretofore
has not quite kept pace with other
units Of the country in the matter of
good roads. seems now in a position to
do ut least as well as any other state.
this as a result Of a recent decision of
the supreme court declaring the Hite
road tax law valid. Much the same
system is to be followed there as In
other states, the central government
being the leader and the counties con
tributing and cooperating.
The tax will raise $3.5OOOOO this
year, to which add S50O,OOO or more
from the auto licenses and large con
tributions by the counties. Present
plans contemplate the construction Of
more than 5000 miles of highways
which is about one-tenth of the entire
road mileage OF the state.

STEADY GROWTH OF
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT I
Summary Of Report on Good Roads by
Secretary Of Agriculture.

In the annual report of the secretary
of agriculture a special chapter is de-
voted to good roads. For twenty years.
it is stated, there has been steady
growth in the good roads movement.
so that today about thirty-four states
have highway commissions or some
other form of highway agency. State
appropriations for road work have in-
creased from $2,O0O,0O0 ten years ago
to $43,0OOOOO in 1912. The relation Of
the federal government to road coz
struction and road management Is
pointed out The federal government
should take the lead in investigational
and experimental work and should de
velop principles Of cooperation with
the states in matters of educational
and demonstrational work. 1t seems
desirable that the federal government
should deal with the state as the low
est unit through an expert highway
commission as it's agency. This policy
would eliminate the difficulty of the
federal governments determining To-
cal issues as well as the danger of un-
due centralized federal control. In or
der to stimulate this policy and to pre-
vent undue inroads on the federal
treasury federal aid whenever extend
ed for construction and maintenance
should be furnished on condition that
the states provide an appropriation at
least double that voted by the federal
government. This would furnish an
automatic check. The plan should pro-
vide for maintenance as we'll as con-
struction in order to prevent the posi-
bility of the construction Of roads
many of which may wear out before
the bonds placed upon them are paid.
The secretary raises the question as to
what roads should be improved. Tie
says that the roads of greatest eco
nomic and social importance are those
over which the products of the farm
| can be taken to the nearest railway
station and which minister to the other
| social and economic needs of the com
| munity. 1t is pointed out that no fed.
eral funds should he expended on any
| project until scheme Of road con
| struction and maintenance within a
state has been developed and agreed
upon by the proper representatives OF
i the state and of the federal govern
| ment

One Of the most beautiful spring nup-
tials of interest to the prominent mem
bers of Plain Dealing society was the
marriage of Miss Willie Cochran,
daughter OF Mrs. Columbia Cochran, to
Mr.. George E. Demoss, which was cele-
brated Wednesday evening last at the
Baptist Church.
The bride entered the church to the

Meares, each carrying dainty baskets,
filed with lilies of the valley. Follow
ing these came the brides maids, Misses
Aline Sibley and Matte Tyler, both
handsomely gowned in crepe de chine,
the former in pink and the latterin blue.
Beneath beautiful trellis of trailing
vines and Easter lilies, the groom,
attended by his best mar, Mr.. Percy

the marriage ceremony according to the
solemn ritual of the Methodist Church.

where they were graciously received by
Mrs. Cochran, and welcomed by the
bride, who, standing by the side OF hel

Improving Earth Roads-Methods Of
6ettermsnt Advocated.
In view of the fact that a great ma
j0rity of the roads of this country are
of the ordinary earth type, it is impor-
tant for the farmer to understand the
best method of improving such roads.
The office Of public roads advises the
communities to have an engineer go
over the old earth highways. OF. in lieu
of an engineer. that the farmers them
selves should see to it that the roads
are so graded that the bitches or gut
ters are parallel with the center line
of the road. Cutters must have uni
form grade and be of sufficient ca
pacity to keep the surface well drained.
Drainage is the most important fea-
ture of an earth road.
Every farmer who lives in n section
where both sand and clay are preya-
lent travels occasionally over some
particular spot in the road which is al
ways good and rarely requires atten-
ton from the road bands. Good drain

BETTER ROADS AND "BACk
TO THE LAND"

If we had better roads we ;
could easily get people to ''see
America first" But the real prob
} lem is to feed America first, to
enable the farmer to bring his
produce to the consumer at a
cheaper cost to both. The ques-
ton of better roads, therefore. is
not one of furnishing more con-
venicnt highways for automobile
, tourists. 1t is true that when We
better and increase our roads the
} automobile will grow in impor-
tance, not as a plaything Of the
richer classes. but as the most
. convenient vehicle of business.
Better roads will turn the tide Of
, affairs, SO that instead Of having
people fleeing from the farm to
. the city we will have the masses
, moving from the city back to the
, land.

A. M. Sarah Fox was born in Cam
bridgeshire, England, on Nov. 80,
1882 where. her Rirlhood life was
spent. April ID, 1850, she was mar
ried to Alfred Swan and the same

being counted as among the pioneers.
Here they lived and toiled together
with their children until after the
death of the husband which occurred
in the fall of 1889. Sometime after
the farm was sold and Grandma
Swan, as she was known and called
by her neighbors and friends, came
to live near Hurley and later within
the city limits.
Her kindness and good deeds to
those around her made for her
host of friends who did all they
could for her comfort in her declin-
ing years. For many years she has
been a member Of the Episcopal
church and all Of her children were
christened in that church. Her life
was such that we feel sure an award
awaiteth her. She was the mother
of six children. Frederick Swan died
in infancy, Lorenzo Swan died in
Hurley in 1890. Four survive their
mother, Mrs. Emma Richards and
Mrs. Mary Welch, Of Beaver Dam.
Wis. John Swan, of Hurley, and
Edwin Swan, of Wilburton, Okla.
The last that loving hands could do
for Grandma Swan was done at her
funeral which occurred at the Hurley
Episcopal church on Tuesday after
noon. A life of usefulness is ended. q
tender memory remains Of geneI-
Gus spirit, clean life, a loyal friend
and devoted mother.
