AS TO materials for road making, it
was the almost universal rule to take
that most convenient If it happened
to be good gravel, well and good, but
II, as in large majority of cases, it
happened to be sand, it was used just
the same.
But in these days such roads will
no longer be tolerated. We have in
northern Indiana any number of good
gravel beds and from these gravel is
drawn and spread upon the roadbed to
a good depth. In the course of short
time 1t is possible with such good ma

BENEFITS FROM GOOD ROADS
Increase Value of Every Acre of Land
AdjoiAing-Correct Principles
Being Followed.

Slowly but surely farmers are
everywhere coming to the realization
that good roads increase the value of
every acre adjoining or in proximity to
them, and that the best of land will
be hard to sell if it can be reached
only through heavy, muddy roads the
greater portion of the year. In so far
as our section (northern Indiana) is
concerned, the progress in making
good roads has been quite marked
during the last five years, says a
writer in Farmers Review. AS soon
as 1t was announced that the Lincoln
highway would have it's course through
our section, the vs$ue of farms lying
along and near this course increased
to quite degree, in some instances
as much as rs per cent.
1t is really astonishing how foolishly
the methods of road making were for
merly carried on. Farmers had fallen
into habit of working on the roads
in very different way from what they
worked on their own farms. 1t often
looked as If some feared they might
do more work than their neighbors-
hence they were determined to do less.
Sometimes, in fact nearly always, the
most incompetent man in the district
was chosen supervisor, and he often
had great difficulty in prevailing upon
the farmers to do enough work to en-
able him to make proper returns to the
commissioners.
Another matter quite noticeable in
those days was that in making roads,
all principles of good road making
were as a rule violated. No effort was
made to drain the roadway. 1t was
simply thrown up little higher than
the roadsides so that when the heavy
rains came the water, instead of run
ming off, would settle into the depres-
sions made by the wagon wheels and
remain there until slowly evaporated,
the ruts in the meantime growing
deeper and deeper. The farmers them
selves despised the roads heartily.

ARMIES BATTLING
ABOVE THE CLOUDS

Rome, Aug. 10.--The following Off
cial statement has been given out at
the Italian headquarters:
"In the Tonale Pass zone our AL
pine detachments, advancing boldly
along a difficult ridge of rocks which
rises from the south over Val Del
Monte (Noce), surprised and dispers-
ed troops of the enemy entrenched
southeast of the peak of Ercavallo,
capturing bombs, fuse cartridges and
other material.
"Other detachments of the enemy
entrenched at Malga Palude, north
east of the Peak Of Ercavallo, were
driven from their position by the ac-
cnrate fire of our mountain artillery,
which had been hoisted to height of
more than 10000 feet on the crags of
Ercavs.llo. In the valley of Sexten,
in Cador. after careful preparation by
our medium caliber artillery during
the past few days, our infantry ad
vanced, gradually forcing back the
enemy. and reached from Monte Nero
as far as the southern slopes of Burg
stall, where they have been rein
forced"

LARGE GAP SEPARATES
FORCES OF RUSSIANS

Headquarters of the Austrian Army
in Poland, Aug. 10.-The defeat of
the Russians in the fighting on the
line between Lubartow and Miechow
resulted in driving the troops apart,
leaving a large gap between Russian
troops fighting north of Lubartow,
who fed northeast across the Vieprz
at Lesse-Kowice. about twelve miles
north of Lubartow. and those around
Miechow, who fled northwest to reach
the Vieprz by way Of Baranow.
1t is impossible at this moment to
determine how serious a danger for
the Russians this breach may prove,
but probably they are amply protect
ed against dangerous inroads on their
line of retreat by troops withdraw

running parallel with the north bank
OF the Vieprz to Radzyn.
In resisting the Austrian advance
the Russians made a desperate attack

That the South and Central Ameri-
can governments did not acquiesce as
readily in President Wilson's pro-
gram as had been expected is known.
On two points the United States
and the Latin-Americans are divided,
seemingly almost hopelessly.
The United States is determined to
give the cientificos no voice in the es-
tablishment of a Mexican government,
the Latin-Americans insist that the
cientificos have such a voice.
The United States deems 1t indis-
pensable that armed Intervention be
held over the factional leaders heads
as an alternative to their failure to
get together; the Latin-Americans are
resolute against armed American in
tervention under any circumstances.
News that General Carranza had

quit Mexico, was considered an unfa

London, Aug. 10.-Russia having re-
jected what in England is regarded as
a bona flde proposal made by the Ger
man emperor for peace, with a part
of Poland traded for Galicia, the
great struggle in the East must con-
tinue and as there is no indication
of an immediate general offensive by
either side in the West the struggle
of the Russian forces TO shake them
selves free of the Austro-German grip
remains the chief factor in the war
news, with an added interest in the
Dardanelles operations.
The Gallipoli field will be closely
watched because of its possible bear
ing on the Balkan situation, again
simmering by reason of renewed
quadruple entente pressure on Bull
garia and Greece.
Never before has the Importance OF
the operations at the Dardanelles been
more keenly realized in Great Britain
and France than now, especially as
