A Preachers Partisan PRAYER

It Is difficult for the fervent partisan
to avoid politics, even in the pulpit.
There are those, too, who never try.
Among them was Father Taylor, the
Boston sailor-preacher. He was once
conducting a Sunday morning service
Few days before the state elections,
and he took the opportunity of offsr'
ing up a fervent prayer that q man
might be chosen for governor VINO
would rule in the fear OF God, who
would never be afraid Of the race OF
day, who would defeat the ringlead
ers Of corruption, who would defy his
own party If it yielded to wire pullers,
who Suddenly Father Taylor
paused. Then he brought his prayer
to an abrupt conclusion. 20, Lord,
he exclaimed, what's the use Of box
ing the compass II this way? Give us
George n. Briggs for governor.
Amen!"

Fire Extinouleher.

1t was quite by accident that the
discovery was made that ammonia
would extinguish burning oil. A bot
tie of ammonia saved a family great
loss by fire. The gasoline stove
sprung leak and the fluid caught fire,
spreading rapidly. One Of the older
children coming into the room could
not reach the sink and get water to
throw over the blaze as he thought
ought to be done, but had enough
presence Of mind to pour over it the
contents of an ammonia bottle that
stood near. AS 1t happened, 1t was
the very best thing he could have
done, as it quickly extinguished the
fire which water could not do. Now
the family keeps ammonia on hand in
a tWo-ausrt sealed jar, anticipating the
time when it may be needed again
for the same purpose.

GRAVEL TO SURFACE: ROADS
With Good Materia; and Little Atter-
zion Highways Should Last
for Several Years.

By e. B. HOUSE, Colorado Experiment
Station.)
There has been much agitation dup
ing the past year concerning the SUP
facing Of our principal roads and as
in many parts Of the state we find de-
posits Of gravel it seems that this Is
the material which may be economical
ly used. A few words concerning the
construction Of these roads may not
be out Of place.
First of all the construction should
be such that the gravel is confined and
held in position on the road. This Is
accomplished by so grading the earth
foundation that shoulders are formed
at the sides. The earth forming the
shoulders should be we'll compact and
solid, otherwise they will fail in the
function required Of them. Loose earth
thrown up from the ditch at the sides
Of the road will not answer the pu7-
pose unless moistened and rolled with
a seven or ten-ton roller.
The whole surface Of the earth fouo-
dation should be graded to the required
form and compact with the roller and
the gravel then spread in a layer about
four inches thick, in the center and
two and one-half inches at the side
Enough sand or loan Is then added to
make the gravel bind" well, this is
mixed with the gravel with harrow
and the layer is then sprinkled and
rolled until solid Another layer OF
gravel is then spread over the first ano
treated In the same way. The result
is grareled surface Is feet wide and
six inches thick at the center and three
and ore-haH inches thick at the sides,
and II the gravel is Of good quality
this road with little attention should
last for years.

MAKING A SPLlT-L0G DRAG
Every Farmer Should Possess One OF
These Implements for Use on
Roads After q Rainfall.

The halves OF the drag should be
framed together by wooden braces so
that the split surfaces of the log shall
be in front. The face Of the drag
should lie at an angle Of IS degrees
with the lines Of the road, thus draw.
ing the earth toward the center. The
rear log should follow in the track OF
the first. Daags should be used after
rains, or continued wet weather to
smooth the earth's surface and pre-
vent ruts from forming to hold water.

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP
STRIKES BACK,

Through the imposition of a fine of
$50 on Joseph Webb, a poor mainland
farmer, for the trivial offense of col
Letting garbage for his starving hogs,
Atlantic City has been deprived of its
cemetery" for horses on the main
land. This action was taken by the
Board of Health of Egg Harbor
Township as a means of reprisal for
the arrest of Webb and the fine after
wards imposed. Nor did the Board of
Health of Egg Harbor Township stop
there.
Notice was also served upon officials
of Ventnor City that Doughty's farm
may nc longer be used as a dumping
ground for garbage. Extensive hog
pens are maintained on this farm,
and the owners have a contract with
Ventnor City for removing it's gar
bage. AS a further retaliatory meas
ure, these pens have been declared un-
sanitary, and are also said to be un-
licensed. 1t is probable that an APP
peal in both cases will be made to the
State Board of Health.

THE TWO GOVERNMENTS
AT SOMERS POINT

Further developments in the acute
political and social conditions brought
about at Somers Point through the
conflicting claims of two factions to
the control of the city government
are assured at a meeting of the "City
Party officials this Friday night.
Lewis B. Matthias, chosen president of
Council by this faction and claiming
to be acting Mayor of the EBAY City,
will prefer charges of INSTRUMENTATION
at this meeting against City Clerk
James E. Scull, who has cast his po-
litical fortunes with the "Home Rule
faction.
The retention of former Judge Clar-
nee l.. Cole as associate counsel in
the battle to be waged by the "City
Party" faction has added zest to the
Somers Point muddle. Mr.. Matthias
has been in consultation during the
week with Mr.. Cole and C. C. Bah
cock, who wa appointed City Solicit
tor by the Getty Party" officials. 1t
is believed that Scull will be ousted
as City Clerk at the coming meeting
and a supporter of the Matthias fac
ton named in his stead.
The "Home Rule" faction, headed
by James B. Cousart, president of
Council and acting Mayor, has issued
a call for a meeting to be held next
Tuesday night. They claim to hold a
trump card in the loyalty shown them
by City Clerk James E. Scull, when
the political row eventually finds its
way into the courts. The "Home
Rule" party officials are proceeding on
the theory that their officials are the
only ones legally elected and appoint
ed. and for that reason they are con-
tent to await developments.
