How to Make And Keep
The Roads Smooth

develop ruts, chuck holes, and de-
pressions. The chief aim and pur-
pose of road maintenance is to pre-
vent and remedy this destructive
action. To be successful and eff,
cient, road maintenance must be
systematic and continuous. Hap
hazard work is expensive and un-
satisfactory.
If the road is very rough and
uneven or the crown very low the
road machine or grader is very
efficient for placing it in shape.
One must guard, however, against
the all too common practice of
scraping the sod and other vege-
table matter and refuse from the
sides and bitches on to the road
in general, on the clay and heavy
soil roads all vegetable or spongy
material should be carefully ex-
Guided. Such materials absorb
moisture readily and furnish but
little resistance against wear. The
road surface should be built up
with the best material possible
material which will pack and con-
solidate under traffic and which
will be as nearly water proof as
possible and will wear uniformly.
In general the road machine or
grader should be used in the spring
of the year while the ground is
moist and in such condition that
it will work easily and at the same
time pack we'll under passing
traffic. Considerable skill and
judgement is required to use the
road grader to the best advantage.
An unskilIed and careless operator
will sometimes actually leave the
road IN worse condition than
when he began work. Do not
scrape sod and refuse into the
road. Good earth is far better as
it will not decay nor absorb mois-
ture so readily. Do not be guilty
of the too common practice of
leaving windrow of clouds or
loose earth along the middle of
your road to impede traffic and
absorb water at the first rain.
Leave the roads smooth over the
entire surface and traffic will
spread and be less likely the pro-
duce ruts. Always use the grad
er in such way as to make the
road better and not worse for the
passing traffic.
When the road has been placed
in good condition as to crown and
smoothness the road drag is the
best tool for maintaining it in
that condition. Drag the road
after each rain while the surface
is still moist but not sticky. Use a
light drag and move only a very
little earth-just sufficient to ell
the ruts and depressions and leave
a slight surplus if the crown is
low. Ride on the drag and shift
your position according tot the
amount of earth necessary to be
moved. If the rain has been of
long duration it may be advisable
to drag the road twice; first very
soon after the rain, and again
when the clay is drying out or
beginning to set.
Do not drag dry road. Success
full dragging is dependent on a
certain amount of water or mois-
ture in the road surface. Practical
ly all clays and most soils, if not
too sandy, will puddle if worked
when wet. and or drvinp ont will

HEAVY SALES OF
WHEAT PAST WEEK
REPORTED THAT BETWEEN 10000
AND 10000 BUSHELS CHANG
ED HANDS.

According to one well informed
gentleman about the city, no less
than 10000 or 100000 bushels of whea;
have been sold in Maury county in
the past ten days.
The price that has been received
for the grain has ranged from $l.4O
to $3.50 per bushel. Two gentlemen
from the Ashwood section are sale
to have received that for their grain
Monday afternoon. They had large
crops.
Most of the wheat, however, that
has changed hands in the past ten
days has been at slightly lower fig
ures. The mills and buyers have not
been actively after it, but are said to
have offered and gotten whole lot
at from $1.4O to $1.45.
If these figures on the sales are
correct, there is not very much of
the 1914 crop left in the county in
the hands of the farmers. Howev-
er, if they are going to sell it, it is
getting high time to do so, for it is
almost the first of May and within
little more than a month the new
crop will be on the market or at least
cut.

TREASURY DEFICIT
BY last Of JUNE
ABOUT $6O,OOO,OOO
POSSIBILITY OF ISSUE OF PANA.
MA CANAL BONDS BEFORE
END OF FISCAL YEAR.
MUCH DEPENDS ON INCOME TAX
Expenditures Upon Canal VIII
Amount to $se,ooo,ooo-May ana
June Do Not Promise to Reduce the
Existing Deficit Much.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Not-
withstanding the imposition of war
tax estimated to yield about 100000
900, the indications are that by the
end of the present fiscal year, on
June 80, the deficit in the treasury
will be between $60,OOO,OOO and $751;
100000. The net working balance in
the treasury's general fund has now
dwindled to $25,0O0,0O0.
In some quarters it is asserted that
the administration will be compelled
to issue Panama canal bonds. but this
is strenuously denied at the treasury.
Expected receipts from May and
June do not promise to greatly reduce
the existing deficit. Much depends
upon the returns from the income
tax, payable before the fiscal year
ends, Treasury officials look to this
source for about $75,OO0,O0O, which
they are hopeful will about balance
the then existing deficit.
The real net excess of all disburse-
ments over the Governments re-
ceipts is to-day in round numbers
$121, 100000, compared with $59,O00,-
900 on the same day last year. This
difference between receipts and ex-
penditures constitutes the actual
deficit in Uncle Sans finances.
These figures include the expendi-
lures on account of the canal, which
amount to about $99,OOO,OOO
The law provides that canal ex-
penditures may be met out of the Or
binary receipts of the Treasury, but
provision was made for the issuance
of bonds for construction work if
deemed wise. Having paid the canal
bills out of the ordinary receipts,
those in charge of the Treasury de-
cline to count these expenditures as
chargeable against the revenues. In
recent years in indicating the condi-
ton of the Treasury the canal figures
have been included, and heretofore,
therefore, they have figured in cal
culating any deficit.
Treasury receipts to-day are about
$39,000,000 lower than on the CORE
spending day last year. Customs re-
ceipts have decreased about s72,000,-
600, but this has been partly made up
by increased internal revenues and
other receipts due in the main to the
war tai.

In fact" said the professor today,
the love of rose is the vito dynam.

for union is never governed by spirit
