GOOD TIMES COMING
Artificial Depression of Business
 at an End.
Approach of Boom in Country Has Forced Obstructonists to Get Out of the Way-Era of Pros
 perity at Hand.

The Pennsylvania railroad has or dered 100000 tons of steel rails. This order was divided. among five steel making corporations: The steel trust, and the Pennsylvania, Cambria, Lack awanna and Bethlehem Steel com panies.
 The division of such an order proves that the road needs the rails in hurry. It has held off from ordering them just as long as possible; it needs them now in rush time to take care of the increase of business which has already begun.
 Part of this hold-off policy, no doubt, was due to genuine apprehension as to future legislation. More, it is to be feared, was designed to put pres sure on the administration and the interstate commerce commission, as a means of forcing favorable action on railroad demands. How long this plan of bulldozing would have been fol- lowed under ordinary conditions, no one can tell.
 In this case, the near approach of boom in business has warned ob- structionists to get out of the way, and the Pennsylvania railroad is too well managed an institution to be the last to heed that warning.
 There's good time comin', it's al- most here." The prosperity special sweeping in from western farms Is almost in sight. The effort to put Wilson in a hole" by artificially pro longing the period of dull times through which the world has been passing has failed ingloriously: and now intelligent business men through out the land are joining to promote and care for the era of progress which Wall street tried in vain to keep away.

on more gravel it will not pack in the center, but keep working into the wheel tracks, making them still higher, when they are too high already. If our roads were IA feet or more in width, then the driving would be all over the whole road, making a hard, smooth surface, and by going over once in while with a road drag it would keep the center high, the rains would drain off at the sides and not wash down the center, and there would not be wear enough in any one place to work or crush the surface into dust to be blown off by winds or autos.
 You can repair a 14-foot road at any time, and it will pack and make a smooth. hard surface, for people will drive so as to hit the whole surface. But not so with a 9-foot road. They will all follow the same track, no mat. ter how crooked the first pattern is. It will be better to build IA feet or wider in the first place, than to build nine feet and then wider afterward. for it Is hard to get a smooth, even surface, because the new gravel will work off the old, hard surface, causing a sag on each side which will have to be filled several times before it will get solid enough to match the old roadbed.

The Cubs landed Casey Hageman, former Cardinal pitcher, at waiver price.
 Manager Red Dooin has a good bat ting and fielding team, but he lacks the pitching.
 If injuries to team could win a pennant, Joe Birmingham and his Maps would have a walkaway in the American league.
 Rebuilding the Maps is a discour- aging problem. As soon as Manager Birmingham gets one weak spot built up the bad luck breaks out in another place.
 The umpires in all the leagues and this goes double for the Feds must stir their stumps and hurry up these ball games. There has been too much time-killing to suit the fans.

GOOD ROADS
PLEA FOR WIDER ROADWAYS
Fourteen-Foot Road Will OutIast Three Nine-Foot Roads and Is Much
 Better in Every Way.

Have not our counties and townships been wasting a good bit of our money by building 9-foot roadbeds on 24 by 20 foot wide road grades? A 24-foot wide grade is plenty wide enough for a 14-foot roadbed. Then why spoil a good grade by putting on 9-foot road when it costs less than one-third more to make a good job of it? Four. teen feet is sufficient width for two tracks; that would mean just one half of the wear on the road. Then we can drive so as to have wheel on each side of the center and that makes one more track and will be equal to a 9-foot road. So you see we have three times the wearing surface on a 14-foot roadbed that we do on 9-foot Then we have chance to pass other the ditch. Now this is claiming quite lot for one-third more expense, but think 14-foot road will outlast three 9-foot roads, has handler surface and is better in every way, writes John D. De Cou in Michigan Farmer. If you come up behind rig you have a chance to get by. If you are driving an auto you do not have to go outside of the hard roadbed and take chances on skidding into the ditch.
 A 9-foot roadbed has but one track Where the wheels run 1t gets packed perfectly solid and heavy load will crush all small stones into dust, and the first auto that comes along sucks it up on the front side of the wheels and then blows it clear of the track when they let go. This doesn't seem much, but when from one to fifty or more go over the same track it soon counts. Meanwhile, the horses travel ing in the center with iron-shod hoofs have kept that dug loose and it gradu' ally works out, leaving the road low in the center where it should be high Then when heavy rains come the ridges where the wheel tracks come hold it in and it washes down the cen. ter to the lowest level. where it runs of at the sides, cutting ditches and causing a bad chuck hole.
 This road is hard to keep in repair If you use a road grader or drag to scrape the sides to the center the wheel tracks are so solid that they will hold up the blades and you will do but little if any good. If you haul

Sees Certain Victory.

Before Norman E. Mack sailed for Europe he dictated statement con- corning the political situation. He does not believe that the Republicans and the Progressives will get together this fall or in 1916, and that in both instances, victory will be certain for the Democrats.
 When Colonel Roosevelt made his Pittsburgh speech" said MT. Mack, "he again threw down the gauntlet to. the Republican party and cleared up the entire political situation.
 "As a matter of fact, it was the only thing left for MT. Roosevelt to do unless he wanted to repudiate all his utterances from the day he arrived at the Chicago convention, two years ago, for the purpose of annihilating the Republican party, which he ac- complished at that time. His Pitts burgh speech showed his intention of continuing the fight to a finish until the job is completed.
 'The Republican party now is in the same condition that the Demo cratic party was for 16 years, except that Roosevelt expects to continue the third party in existence, which the contestants in the Democratic party did not do from 1896 to 1908."

PRIZE FOOD. PaIatabIe, Economical, Nourishlng.

A Nebr. woman has outlined the prize food in a few words. and that from personal experience. She writes:
 After our long experience with Grape-Nuts, cannot say enough in its favor. We have used this food al- most continually for seven years.
 We sometimes tried other adver- t1sed breakfast foods but we invariably returned to Grape-Nuts as the most palatable, economical and nourishing of all.
 When I quit tea and coffee and began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts, I was almost a nervous wreck. I was so irritable I could not sleep nights, had no interest in life.
 After using Grape-Nuts a short time I began to improve and all these ailments have disappeared and now am a well woman. My two children have been almost raised on Grape Nuts, which they eat three times day.
 They are pictures of health and have never had the least symptom of stomach trouble, even through the most severe siege of whooping cough they could retain Grape-Nuts when all else failed.
 "Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor bills, and has been, therefore, a most economical food for us.''

 Umpire Silk O'Loughlin has received many hurts while standing behind the catcher. /, The hardest blow, in his opin- ion, was at Philadelphia a cou- pie of seasons ago.
 Walter Johnson was pitch ing and the batter hit a foul tip that caught me on the arm," says Silk. "Johnson's speed is terrific enough, but add the speed of a foul tip to that and you can imagine how I felt. I thought my arm had gone with the ball to the grand stand.
 For at least ten minutes my arm was absolutely paralyzed. And for two months I could still feel the effects of that blow"
