Good Roads Waste.

Statistics gathered by the govern
ment show that the average expendi-
ture toward improvement of roads in
the United States exceeds 81 ZOO, 900 a
day, large portion of which is wasted
because of the failure to build the right
type of road to meet local requirements,
or the failure to provide for continued
maintenance.

A great deal is said concerning the
power of endurance of the strictly tenn
perate man as compared with the oc-
casional tippler. The following gives
an account of recent test and also notes
the position of the great organizations
in this matter, evinced by their strin-
gent rules and regulations: ga young
man, who, few days ago, was called
upon in an emergency by the factory
employing him to do about three ordin-
airy days work in single days, tells
US that in this severe test of endurance
he was able to see plainly which were
the drinking men in the factory. A
number of helpers who were steady
drinkers but not drunkards, were I'M
strung and had to drop out long before
the end, while the temperate men stuck
to their posts. It is certainly not too
much to say that, other things being
equal, the drink habit is a decided
handicap to man in any kind of bust
ness, from that of the common laborer
to that of the highest trust Competi-
ton tends to weed out drinking men,
and it is next to impossible for drink
ing man to attain to any really high
position of any kind. This is the
practical side of the drink question
disregarding for the moment any moral
considerations.

Curing Soy Bean Hay

Many Preston farmers will harvest
their first soy bean hay this year.
Last year a great many farmers in
this state had trouble with this hay
heating and moulding because 1t was
put in the mows too soon after cutting.
1t should be raked up before wilted
enough to lose its leaves. III the
weather is favorable it may be left in
windows for day or two Next il
should be shocked in tall narrow
shocks and left standing thus for sew
eral days. Some put the hay in small
shocks the first day It is cut and later
double these small shocks. The impor-
tant thing is to get the hay cured be-
fore you store it away. The beans
should be cut before they begin to
lose their leaves. 1t is better to cut
too early than too late as 1t is very
difficult to cure the hay after the
weather gets cool.

INFANT INDUSTRIES

The Chester American Dyewood COM
pany's plant, which is running day and
night, cannot fill its orders and is gong
to enlarge its plant. This is one OF the
very few industries that is not protected,
which is due TO the powerful wooden
manufacturers who want dyestuffs to
come in free. OF course they were ac-
commodated by the Republican protec.
tionists, as the dye factories were infant
industries and could not stand the frying
process which is so peculiar to the Re-
publican managers during political cam
paigns. This industry, however, is estab-
fishing itself without protective tariff.
All the dye factories are reported running
day and night with orders to keep them
running indefinitely. Many of them are
enlarging their plants.
We can all remember the time when
the Republicans grew eloquent and senti-
mental over the protection of infant in
dustres. When Gen. Golf used to pro-
tect them by the broad shield of Ameri-
can law"

I'm MemOriam

James Robert Williams was born
May IA, 1S49. on the old Williams
homestead about two miles north of
Tunnelton, on the Kingwood pike. He
died at his home near the Camp
ground on August Is, 1915. aged &C
years, months and 4 days.
The deceased was raised and spent
his entire life not only in the county
or his nativity but within a small rad
ius OF his birthplace. He was well and
favorably known throughout the COM
munity as a man of great industry,
sterling integrity and neighborliness
of spirit.
On December IL, 1871, he was united
In marriage to Sarah Brewer of Laurel
Point, Monongalia county. To this I'M
ion there were born five children two
of whom survive John j. Williams.
OF Morgantown, and Mrs. Eugene Coff-
man OF Davis. His wife preceded her
husband in death by many years.
On July 8, 1886, the deceased was
- Viz hOlg VI WeulOck TO
Melissa Il. Snyder of near Morgantown.
TO this union there were born two
sons. Arthur Robert of function, and
Glib ri Earl, who resides at the home
place. Besides the widow and four
children the deceased is also survived
by two brothers. John Thomas Will
Jams, who lives on the old homestead
and George b. Williams of Davis.
Prior to his death the deceased had
been suffering for quite long time
All the skill of medical science was
summoned to his aid, but without
avail. Despite his condition and the
pain that possessed him he did not
surrender but kept about his affairs
as in younger days. This was charac-
teristic of the man. He was simply a
bundle OF energy and the prolongation
OF his life is probably attributed TO this
fact. 1t was not until this energy and
vitality had been sapped that he did
finally surrender to his bed and even
then the mind was still active and
alert.
His going hence leaves a vacancy
that cannot be filed lie was a good
neighbor, kind parent and devoted
husband.

GOLDEN ERA

Bankers passing through Chicago to
attend the annual convention of the
American Bankers Association at Seattle,
Washington, predicted that an "almost
unbelievable prosperity" is rushing on
the nation.
when the bank reserves, which are
greater now than they have ever been in
the history OF the country, are distributed
the nation will enjoy almost unbelievable
prosperity" said William A. Law of
Philadelphia, president of the American
Bankers Association. 1.-The volume of
money on hand is so great that it cannot
ind a natural outlet. The movement OF
the tremendous crops. with the attendant
financial activity, will still further in
crease the bank reserves"
Mr.. Law attributed the present state
oil business to the upset conditions pre-
vailing in International trade relations
and to wave of economy. Thus is the
wave of prosperity spreading broadcas,
throughout the country, which is rapidly
silencing the calamity croaker.

Wilson for reelection, which they did in
the following resolution:
I'VE believe that his mastery of the
European situation requires President
Wilson's denomination in 1916 and we
indorse him as the party's most efficient
and trusted leader in the coming national
election, believing that patriots without
regard to party recognize Woodrow Will
son as the one man best suited to bear
the burdens and perform the Hercnlean
tasks now confronting the president of
the United States
They are in perfect agreement with
Abraham Lincoln that it is not a good
policy to swap horses crossing the stream.
