the reduced strain OF hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view Is that the lay
ing out Of roads on this principle Of
avoiding grades necessitates In some
cases running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures in
stead Of going around the farm line

munity is 20 great it might we'll repay

er the equivalent In land equally good
in place Of what he has sacrificed to
the common welfare.
At any rate, the government is now
taking special pains to make clear the
economic advantage Of avoiding steep
grades In roads, ven at some sacrifice
Of better land. Investigation shows
that the laying out of such roads over
hills has resulted more from attention
to the preservation of farm lines than
from scientific attention to the prob
lem Of road. building.
According to the testimony Of farm
ers consulted. where a horse might be
able to pull 1900 pounds on a level
road it would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up a steep hill. The size
Of the load, therefore. tends to be meas
ured by the grade of the largest hill on
the road to market. In many cases
actual experiment shows that the re-
locating Of roads around hills has been
accomplished either with no addition
In road length In some instances or
with the adding Of only a few feet to
the highway In others.

Ing to the eighth annual report of the
board of county commissioners. This
reduction Is credited to the replace
ment of certain macadam roads with
cement concrete pavement.
Ample justification for the adoption
Of the concrete road as the standard
type of construction Is found by the
commissioners In the fact that there
are over 100 miles Of concrete road in
Wayne county. some Of 1t in its sixth

Of a rut and without a single twenty

Blouse and Nsckwear Characteristics.
Some Of the newest blouses are
singularly appropriate for the girl who
works. They are remarkable for a
sort of quaint sobriety. The much en-
broidered blouse Is quite a rarity this
year, perhaps on account of its neces-
sarily high price. Spragged voiles and
a little simple sdtchery are the limits
to which embroider1es are carried.
Otherwise blouses are very much what
they were last year, except for the
fact that they nearly all have long
sleeves and high collars. at least at the

the things they grow or pack. 1t

usually makes the demand for that

It has taken on the aspect Of an in
st1tution. This fruit seems to have
been the first to hit upon this plan for
exploiting It's virtues and its other
merits. and apple day Is very likely
responsible for the requirement by
many persons Of the apple eating
habit.
Following the example set by the
friends Of the apple, the friends Of the

Not long ago there were fears that
the raisin crop was 20 big that the
country bad been overstocked with
dried grapes. and the raisin growers or
driers called on the American people
to help them out and at the same time
confer a blessing on themselves BY
eating raisins on a specified day. That
was the origin Of the creation Of raisin
day.
The state Of California designated
March 81 as ripe olive day. and the
advocates Of the olive. especially Of
the ripe olive. have undertaken to
educate the American people into eat
ing more of that fruit. It IL said by
the friends Of the ripe olive that 1t

which everybody knows. but which
everybody does not eat. The picked
olive Is best known as an appetizer or
hOrs d'oeuvre. The ripe olive Is his
toric food. A large part Of the human
race was fed in its infancy on wheat
and barley. honey and olives. And the
olives which the ancients ate and
spoke so much about not the
green pickles which the world knows
best today, but the ripe olives. As an
article OF food the ripe olive Is said by
food economists to be rich In the ele-

While every day is already cabbage

There was mass meeting at the

the purpose of discussing the feasibi-
lily of Christian Union between the
Congregational worshiping at Huston
and Appleton. The Huston congre-
cation is composed of members from
the Christian, Baptist and Methodist
denominations and the congregation
at Appleton is from the Methodist
and Baptist denominations. The
church buildings only one-half mile
apart and both are too poor to hire a
preacher. The proposition is for the
two congregations to cooperate and
hire one preacher and unite the Sun
