BENEFIT OF GOOD HIGHWAYS
Main Market Roads Reach Majority Of
Producing Areas and When Inn
proved Land Values Increase.

The road.building specialists OF the
United States department OF agricul'
ture In bulletin No. 1876. entitled
Highway Bonds" have the following
to say about the benefit OF well-con-
structed highway TO property owners
whose property is not directly on the
road TO be improved:
In planning the highway system or
the main market roads II will be found
necessary to omit many roads the i'm
provement of which is greatly desired
by abutting landowners. The fact that
such property holders must pay q tax
for the bond issue 10 only an apparent
injustice. for II the highway system
is well planned the entire county will
feel the benefits OF the improvement.
As q rule, main market roads reach
the majority OF producing areas, and
when they are improved all land val
ues tend to increase.
The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside Of
their own limits is sometimes made q

On farms where many kinds Of
grain are grown there should be little

able ration. For several years mature
brood sows In the Wisconsin expert
ment station herd have been fed ra-
tions composed of one-third corn,
one-third wheat middlings and one
third wheat bran or alfalfa. Such
feeds are satisfying and bulky and at
the same time sufficiently nutritious
to cause the sows to gain from fifty
to seventy-five pounds in live weight
during pregnancy. A mixture of equal
parts, by weight, of the feeds mem

BENJAMIN Franklin Gump. born in
Garfield township, Dickinson coun-
~, Kansas. May 81, 1897. died July
81. 1915. aged IS years. 2 months
and 4 days.
Bennie was the Oldest child OF
Robert and Mary Gump. OF Holland,
Kansas. He leaves to mourn their
loss, a father, mother, five sisters
and three brothers, all OF whom
were with him In his last days OF
suffering.
Bennie was we'll known and low
ed throughout Dickinson county. He
attended school at the Dickinson
county High School in Chapman the
last year until compelled by poor
health to give up his work for the
rest OF the year. In Chapman he
was O member OF the NJ. 4. Sunday
school and the Y. NJ. c. A. and was
a faithful worker.
In school he was a good student
and a friend to all his class mates.
He has always attended the Mt.
Pleasant Sunday School where he
will be greatly missed.
Bennie has been in poor health
for two years All that doctors, rel
atives and friends could do was
done but his disease was Of the
heart and incurable. He was able
to be about the house part Of the
time until the past week. His suf-
fering was intense. yet he never
complained. Those who waited by
his bedside say his patience and en-
durance are unsurpassed.
A short service was held at the
home, Monday, Aug. 2, at l p. m.
A prayer by Rev. George Manon, a
solo, Beautiful Isleao Somewhere
by Mr.. Herbert Eichoitz. Further
services were held at Mt. Pleasant
church at 2 p. m, Rev. Manon
preaching a beautiful sermon. Bro.
Berkholder offered prayer and the
choir sang beautiful selections. Six
of the boyhood companions acted as
pail bearers to convey him to his
last resting place IN the church
yard. The many friends extend
sympathy to the sorrowing relatives.

not be cut, and the rest of the ration
should be given as a thick slop.
Brood sows weighing from 300 to
$50 pounds usually can be kept on
one of the above rations for about
$3.50 a month.
II you live in a section where these
can be grown, sugar beets or giant
halfsugar mangels may be used to
form the bulky portion Of the ration
and to replace the bran. The sugar
beets or mangels can be cut up and
fed raw or may be cooked and with
middlings and other meal made into
a thick slop. Soy beans kept on the
vine make excellent winter feed for
swine. They can be stacked in or
near the hog lot in the fall and fed
out as needed The hogs viii get

and sunshine are natures great disin'

A screen is q valuable addition 20
a bedroom to keep on drafts and shut

A comfortable bed. high enough to
be able to lift the patient without

Of the equipment.
Bare floors that can be kept clean
with a dust mop, small rugs near the
bed and no unnecessary draperies at
the windows. or upholstered furniture
to collect dust, are most desirable.

small. to tuck under the elbow or

Never sit on the bed to visit with Q
patient. or II two callers are present,

When the bedding seems to tire the
feet a pasteboard box or a padded
board may be slipped into the foot
OF the bed to support the bedding.
Often II the limbs are injured the
weight of the sheet is oppressive.
In giving medicine. a rule never to
be forgotten is to read the label be-
fore pouring out the medicine, and
afterwards before setting down the
bottle. II this rule was never broken
there would be- many less deaths to
record. Always pour medicine from
the opposite side OF the label as 1t
may be blurred and all name or d.
recticns destroyed.
Medicine containing iron should be
taken through straw, as the teeth
will be ruined by 1t.
Castor oil is easier taken II bit OF
lemon or orange juice is put into the
spoon before pouring in the oil.

point Of debate In bond elections. II
Is argued that because large part OF
the county wealth is within the cor
porate limit of such cities and towns
highway bond money should also be
used to construct their streets. 1t is
even urged that the expenditure
should be made proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city linn
its. II the proceeds Of highway bond
issues were distributed in this way,
their purpose in many cases would
be defeated. The primary object Of
the county highway bond issue is to
build county market roads and not
TO improve city streets, although Q
high percentage Of the assessed Valu-
alton may be city property. 1t is now
known that the expenditure OF city
taxes on county roads Is a sound prin-
ciple and that 1t is one Of the best
features Of state aid for highways.
In Massachusetts the city of Boston
pays possibly 40 per cent OF the to-
tai state highway fund, but not
mile of state-aid highway has been
Duilt within its limits. New York city
also pays about so per cent OF the
cost of the state highway bonds. Some
state laws prohibit the expenditure OF
proceeds of state highway bonds with
In corporate limits of cities or towns.
The improvement Of market roads
results in improved marketing condi-
tions, which benefit the city. Most |
cities are essentially dependent upon |
the surrounding country for their pros |
perity and development. The devel' |
opment of suburban property for res
Idence purposes is also dependent |
upon highway conditions, and 1t is
becoming evident yearly that what
ever makes for an increase in rural
population must be encouraged. Since
the introduction of motor traffic coun
try highways are used to an increas-
ng extent by city residents. In fact,
he cost of maintaining many country
highways has been greatly increased
by the presence of city-owned motor
yehicles. The general advance in IA
,ilities for doing country business
rom town headquarters when roads
ire improved is no inconsiderable fac
or in the commercial life Of the com
nunitv.

Cloth and velvet are used for long

also employed when the coat is for
afternoon wear and trimmed with fur.
SILK is featured for outdoor wear this

warm; II will admirably suit those who
live In the South and Southwest; that
should be joyful news to them, for the
