At the Boundary Line

With what eagerness these bracing
fall mornings we hasten to see
whether the frost king has laid his
whitening fingers upon the world of
out of doors. Each morning, de-
spite the sharp things in the air. the
sturdy shrubs on the lawn and the
green scimitars of the corn still bear
the healthy glow of summer-and
we are glad. We hate to see them
go, these green growing things. sym
bolic of Nature in her prime. For
all that, autumn is. in sense, the
most enchanting season Of the year
for many.
1t is so with human life. RealiAa-
ton that life's seasons are swiftly
passing is the frost that marks the
boundary line between summer and
winter. And with 1t must come ret
rospection. We wonder whether we
have put forward the best efforts OF
which we are capable. Has life been
wasted, or are we like the sturdy
shrub and the majestic corn, glory
ing in the achievement of the pres
ent and with no fear of the coming
frost? 1t we're better that the new
year resolutions were made in au-
tumn, the realization of time, when
all Nature stands awaiting its sud-
den and inevitable demarkation from
usefulness and Joy to oblivion and
sadness.-From the Lincoln (Ih.)

GOOD
ROADS
TO MAKE SMOOTH ROAD BEDS
Put Soil on In Layers, Not In Plles-
Best Tool for Road Improve.
mont 10 SpIItloa DRAG.

The making Of q smooth roadbed
requires that when the soil is put on,
1t be laid in layer and not in piles.
When dumped in pilef some places
will be more packed than others and
there will likely be difference in the
density, while II laid on in layers this
will be avoided. Each layer should be
narrowed, or better yet. disked and
packed before the next one is laid
down.
In this way a good roadbed is Sc
cured from the first, while II the soil
is just dumped on the road to be
leveled and packed by the traffic over
the road q good roadbed will never be
secured.
The best tool for keeping the road
well crowned and the surface smooth
is the splitlog drag. This tool should
be used soon after q rain. The soil
is then loose and easily moved. The
drag moves but small amounts of soil
and smears it on the roadbed in thin
layers, which is just what is wanted.
1t cuts of any projections and fills
any low places.

SUPERIORITY OF WIDE TIRES
Il Has Been Found by Actual Test
That Broad-TIred Wagon Pulls 81
Per Cent Easier.

Wide tires build up roads and save
horse labor, according to the depart
ment of agricultural engineering at the
University of Nebraska. They have
the same effect upon a country road
as q roller on q plowed field. On the
other hand, the narrow tire cuts up
q road like disk.
1t has been found by actual test in
this department that the wide-tired
wagon pulls easier in nearly all cases
than the narrow-tired wagon. In deep
mud on a country road the wide-tired
wagon pulls SO per cent easier.
On q country road with a thin sur
face Of mud or deep dust, however,
the narrow tires pull 49, per cent cas-
Ter In a corn field the wide tires pull
30.6 per cent easier, in a dry alfalfa
field 1T per cent easier, and on dry
country road 1912 per cent easier.

Vision

What we need most of all is to
see, with the minds eye, with the
souls eye, as well as with the two
eyes in our head.
Thousands are struggling in the
ruck of things who would gain conf
dence and poise If they would only
yerities that determine all conflicts.
We grope down in the fog filled
valley; we should get up on the
mesa.
We but half understand the play
of life because we cannot distin-
guish clearly the players; we need
some sort of spiritual opera glasses.
We sail blunderingly the sea OF
events because we lack telescopes for
the mind by which better to discern
the headlands and the shore lights
of truth.
If you could see you wouldn't let
yourself stew and fume in family
quarrel; you would not remain COZ
fused and desperate in forest of
hates and grudges; you would not be
smothered in the atmosphere Of con-
slant misunderstanding.

BETTER ROADS IN MISSOURI
Movement Has Passed Boom Stage
and Become Fixed PoIlcy-Good
Advertisement for State.

When the public roads bureau Of
the department of agriculture made
it's study of roads covering a period
which ended in 1918, Missouri did not
figure among the leading states either
IN its mileage Of improved roads or
in progress made In road building,
while some of the southern states
with smaller resources In q financial
way showed striking evidences Of
progress, says Farm Progress. They
had been building cheap.roads of such
materials as we're Immediately at
hand, and that Is what Missouri is
doing today with such energy and en-
thusiasm that the next survey Of the
road situation Is sure to tell differ
ent story. This will be q good thing
for state pride and as q state adver-
tisement, but vastly more significant
is the direct benefit derivable from
roads that can be traversed at all sea-
sons with full loads. Every good road

THE REAL GREATNESS
Arthur BRISBANE

ARTHUR BRISBANE
Men who are truly great have done good
to their fellow man. And the greatest Soul
ever born on earth came to urge but one
thing on humanity, "Love one another"
Get money if you can. Get power if you
can. Then if you want to be more than
the ten thousand million unknown mingled
in the dust beneath you, see what good you
can do with your money and your power.
If you are one of the many millions who
have not and can't get money or power, see
what good you can do without either.
You can bel p carry a load for an old man.
You can encourage and he p poor devil
trying to reform. You can set a good ex
ample to children. You can stick to the
men with whom you work, fighting honest
y for their welfare.
Time was when the ablest man would rather
kill ten men than feed thousand children.
That time has gone. We do not care much
about feeding the children, but we care less
about killing men. To that extent we have
improved already.
The day will come when we shall prefer
helping our neighbOr to robbing him---legal-
ly--of million dollars.
Do what you can now, while it is unusual,
and have the satisfaction of being a pioneer
and an eccentric.

Weeds

Weeds stand condemned on two
big counts-they rob crops of mois-
ture and of plant food. 1t was once
thought that the first of these Of
lenses was the greater, but now 1t is
known that the second is as great as
the first. Analyses OF many kinds OF
weeds made at the North Dakota
station, reported in a bulletin just
published, show that ton of green
weeds may take enough phosphorus
from the soil to produce from one to
five bushels OF wheat, and enough
nitrogen to produce from two to ten
bushels of wheat. This plant food
is not lost, Of course, for 1t goes
back into the soil when the weeds
are plowed under, but it Is kept
from the crop. At the Illinois sta
ton, corn in which weeds were al
lowed to grow at will from the out
set made only 7.3 bushels to the
acre as an average for eight years.
Irrigating the weedy corn, to make
sure that an abundance of moisture
was present all the time, resulted in
an increase of only 3.S bushels to
the acre. This showed that using
plant food was as serious an effect
of the weeds as using water. Crops
and weeds cannot thrive together
even in a favorable season.-Ne-
brSska Farmer.

Newfoundlanders in the Wal

When the present struggle began
the Newfoundland reservists were
scattered widely on the annual SUM
mer fishing campaign. Some were
operating from Massachusetts and
others on farthest Labrador, but all
hurried back and within fortnight
the whole active strength was avail
able. Then the colonial government
undertook to double the strength
and speedily had 1900 men avail
able, all of whom are now under ac-
tive service, while further enlistment
still continues.
gratifying reports were made by tho
admiralty regarding these men
their discipline, efficiency and en-
thusiasm being noteworthy. They
have been employed in all classes Of
ships from superdreadnaughts to
submarines, and have proved their
quality everywhere. Some fought
In Sturdee's squadron against Won
Spree at the Falkland Islands; 9TH
ers figured with Beatty in the North
Sea fight when the Bleucher was
sunk; still others were in the Queen
Elizabeth and her consorts in the
Dardanelles, and some sustained
severe wounds in the fighting there.
Most, however, are now being uti-
lized to crew mine sweepers and sub
marine chasers, for which their ex-
perience in small craft, keen vision
and skill in boat work render them
specially useful; and recently the
admiralty has intimated that 1t will
take all the naval reservists the col
ony can supply.
The year has not passed for this
force without its share of losses.
In the total loss last winter of the
armed auxiliary cruisers Viknor,
Clan MacnaughtoH and Bayano more
than sixty Newfoundland reservistS
persisted, this representing more ia
talties, prOportlonately, than Canada
has yet sustained in all the land
fighting her men have done since
hostilities began.
Besides this naval contribution,
however, Newfoundland also under
took to raise five hundred soldiers,
oIthouoh having M p,ilItory or0oni-
zation, since the island is so law
abiding that one hundred constableS
are the sole force needed to main
tain order, the record being but one
murder in ten years for the past half
century. Still, the spirit of the
young people was such that within
fortnight five hundred men were
enrolled, the city of st. Johns alone
supplying 430 of these, although the
population is but thirty thousand,
and it was already represented in the
naval reserve by nearly three hun
dred others.
The offers for the land force con-
tinued so great that gradually, month
by month, the force grew until, at
this writing, practically two thou
sand men have been secured, all Of
whom but the last $50 have been
sent across the ocean.-P. T. Nc

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR FACTORY
Great Western Sugar Company
Announces Plans.
TARIFF ISSUE IMPORTANT
Several Factories Will be Built in
MOntana-Milk River District
to be Favored.

A semi-official announcement was
made in Denver Saturday that the
Great Western Sugar company will
soon begin the erection of three, and
possibly more sugar factories in
Montana and Nebraska.
Officials of the Colorado company
ed definitely that no new factories
will be erected if the free sugar
clause of the tariff act is permitted
to become effective on May first of
next year; but it is quite generally
conceded at this time that this clause
OF the act will be repealed as a part
OF the program to provide revenues
for the government for 1916-1917.
Officials of the Colorado company,
while not willing to discuss the tar
iff phase of the question, said yes
terday that the company is contem-
plating extensions and is consider
ing Montana as one of the most
favorable fields offered.
The company is. considering To-
eating at Great Falls and in the Milk
River Valley and Choteau. Other
beet sugar interests have had repre-
sentatives in the territory for some
time and indications are that before
the middle of next year there will
be rush to obtain contracts in GER
tain parts of the state favorable to
the production of beets.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Great Western was
held in Denver and it is understood
that provisions have been made for
considerable extension work in the
next twelve months, provided the tar
if issue is settled early enough at the
coming session Of congress to give
time for constructing factories before
the opening of the manufacturing sea-
son of 1916.
The Great Western Company oper-
ates nine factories in Colorado, one in
Nebraska, one in Wyoming and one in
Montana, at Billings. "Scouts" from
the company have been having beets
raised in several sections of the state
shipped to the Billings factory not so
much for the purpose of manufacture
ing sugar from them as to get line
on the possibilities of different sec
tions of the state for the cultivation
of beets. 1t is understood that the
tests have proven satisfactory in
practically every case.
It is stated that at least ten COM
