ing utterly impossible as well as dam
gerous, and may lay you or the super
visors open to suit for damages un-
der our present laws. The laws are
inclined to favor those who pass over
highways believing them to be in pro-

damages would in all probabilities re-

There is another thing I would like
to mention in connection with this ar
ticle on roads, and that is the laws
relating to travel thereon. You who
travel with wagons, carriages, ETC.,
must not take offence when an auto
mobile overtakes you and gives you
the signal to respect the laws, and not
take it as an "insult" for nothing fur
Their from the truth could be devised.
This signal is statuatory, and the au-
to-driver is only following the laws,
and giving you notice that he, travel
ing faster than you, wants part of the
road. Again, when such passing is
about to take place, and the road is
wet and slippery, or dry and hard,
with deep ruts, in which the approach
ing vehicle is travelling, give him ALL
the road, thereby preventing his car
from skidding and taking a wheel off
your wagon or carriage, and prevent
ing lot of "hard thoughts" let
alone words. There is no "dishonor"
in it, and you will feel better; he will
feel best and you will get rid of the
autoist quickly, without a grind of
gears, a cloud of smoke, and lote of
"bile" which causes 'Fiver-complaintw
Various devises are used to signal We

FARM CROP OUTLOOK
Wet Season Has Delayed Grain and
Corn, but Rain is Less Injurious
than Drouth.

Officers of the First National Bank
in commenting on business and crop
conditions, say: .
"The backwardness of the season
has aroused some concern as to the
crop outcome but. all it has done from
the general standpoint is to delay the
harvest. There is now little question
but that we will have a record oats
crop and an enormous wheat yield.
Corn has been held back by cool wea-
ther but jump into seasonable tenn
peratures this month will work Won
ders with his crop. 1t is probable that
the governments July report may
prove disappointing on corn but with
the right weather during July the
August crop report can show great
Improvement. While rains have been
excessive to date, causing some crop
pessimism, the United States depart
ment of agriculture in recent bulle-
tin pointed out that excessive mois-
ture is far less detrimental to the
crops than drouth. Excessive mois-
ture is shown, over period of years,
to have caused per cent damage
against 1913 per cent damage by
drouth.
Of considerable Importance to the
country, as well as to the producer, is
the question of agricultural prices.
The total grain production will be big;
that is certain and big crops make a
strong foundation for general pros
perity but better prices received by
the farmers, within reason the greater
the prosperity because the purchasing
power of the farmer is greater and so
stimulates all the more general bust
ness. In the last month grain prices
have had a severe decline but prices
were high to begin with and the gen
eral level is still fairly high. While
lower prices may still be made owing
to the failure of the foreigners to buy
freely in the domestic market, there is
no question but thatimporting coun-
tries will have to come here for sup
plies and that the present lack of de-
mand is temporary. With fair reserves
abroad and an unsettled foreign ex-
change market, the demand is slow
in developing. When foreigners are
ready to buy the demand should be
big enough to cause firmer grain
prices"

GOOD ROADS
Editor Herald:

1t should be with pride one takes up
the implements of good road building
and he should do the work in a man
ner which will be the most productive
of the very best results. A chain is
no stronger than its weakest link, and
road is no better if it is OBJ
structed by a great big mud hole
somewhere in its system which might
be easily made good. Sand roads do
not need much work only "surfacing,"
or taking load of gravel and with
shovel fill slightly above the top of
the hole which will allow for the
packing of the gravel put in and pro-
duce smooth roadbed. Flowing up
and grading sand is a loss of time as
well as money and makes very poor
road, as sand is easily affected by
water, and when our heavy rains set
in it washes" and the graded up
road is ruined and as water "seeks
its level" so will sand go right back
into the ditch from whence it was
graded up. If sand is deep at the bot
tom of a hill do not grade it up with
sand but in place haul clay until
proper amount of binder is secured
which when mixed with the sand
will make a good earth road which
will not wash to any great extent and
with travel grow firmer, and at last
be fine part of the road. Our roads
do not need so very much heavy work
on them but they need "surfacing,"
that is one should go over them daily
and fix all of the "holes" which travel
has made, taking for a guide the rail-
roads who continually repair the bad
places, but do not go on and tear up
all the solid bed. All "undulations"
in a road should be repaired by hand
with a shovel and load of gravel along
to use as these holes require, and
right here do we fall down by allow
ing those not interested to do work
alone upon our highways. The water
should be taken care of by providing
drainage on the side of the road, and
where the roads have shoulder" it
should not be cut off and thrown into
the ditch, but allowed to remain where
it acts as "holder" to the sand
which would without it wash down in
to the bitches thereby clogging the
culverts and producing soft places
which ultimately develop into mud
hole. All stones and other obstruc-
tons should be taken out of the
roads and where taken out such holes
should be filled up by shovel work. In
the repairing of holes in roadbed
care should be taken to not fill up so
as to make two mudholes in the place
of one, which is often done. After
grading a piece of road in which CEN
ter you have thrown a lot of clods, go
over it with a disc harrow thoroughly,
then follow with drag, and then with a
very heavily loaded wagon, (broad
tire best), "center" the work you
have done, thereby giving notice to
| the travelling public that this road is
passable, and to take the center, in
stead of driving them into the bitches,

Dyeing, or. at any rate. the madden
root used in it, was the subject of one
Of the oldest of England's legislative
blunders. In the reign of George III.
1t was found necessary to regulate the
trade in madden, and accordingly an
act was passed for that purpose. Tests
Of its purity were ordained. and vari-
GUS regulations spread the length of
the act to over sixty sections. But
when 1t was finally passed into law 1t
was found that madden was not once
mentioned by name in it. In fact.
those called upon to administer it had
no official knowledge of what the act

BAKED CIGARS.
Before Smoking the English Dry Out
All Spirits and Nicotine.

Before Smoking the English Dry Out
All Spirits and Nicotine.
The English bake their cigars thor
oughly in the oven until all of the mois-
ture and nicotine are dried out AS is
well known, they have the pick Of the
tobacco crop over there, and what they
apply to the best Of cigars might well
be administered to those of inferior
quality which are smoked in America.
Here is what every smoker should
DO: First, loosen the cigars in the box
and let them stand on or near q stove
or radiator until absolutely dry.
A moment before smoking wash the
cigar in water on the outside and
dampen well the wrapper. This may
be done at the table by holding the CT
gar by the tip in glass of drinking
water, taking care not to wet the filler.
Then wipe the tip end before cutting it
off on the napkin. Water revives the
leaf and restores its natural flavor.
What you have previously dried out
in the oven is not water moisture. 1t
is the bay rum and other spirits which
are frequently sprinkled over the CT
gars after boxing to keep them looking
fresh. Both the wholesaler and the re-
taller often sprinkle them again before
showing them to customers. 1t is these
spirits that impart such a strong odor
to clothes in which cigars are carried.
Drying and washing afterward will
make for a better smoke, to say moth
ing of better health, in cases where
very cheap spirits have been used on
the cigars.-Cleveland Plain Dealer
