This may be done in a wash tub or on
a cement floor. The Juice of the lemons
is squeezed into the water and to this
is also added the Qulp and peel after
Cutting into fine bits. The molasses
should then be added and when dis
solved the mixteure should be poured
INTO the dry bran and poison stirring
the whole constantly so as to danpa
the bran thoroughly. When required
for use, the bran mash is sown broad
cast in the infected locust areas early
in the morning. The above quantity
is sufficient to treat acres BY scat
tering the mixture thinly large num-
Der of locusts are killed, and when
thus applied there is no danger OF
birds, poultry or live stock securing a
sufficient amount of the poison 70 kill
them.

ABOUT GRADED STREETS.

Probably one of the best posted men
in the state on the making Of good
roads is Joe Snow, ex-state highway
commissioner, who stopped over a day
in Oroville last week Mr.. Snow, as
a civil engineer has the foundation in
his profession upon which to base
some knowledge of road making. He
was in close touch for years with men
of practical experience IN road making,
familiar with every material and in
gredient entering into the composition
of good roads, and n top of it all he
has had personal direction construct
ing highways, private and public.
During his term of office he super
vised work on numerous state roads,
spending no little time on state roads
Nc's. IL and II, in the Mclkow valley.
In response to an inquiry as to the
desirability and lasting qualities of
water bound macadamized roads, such
as the character of the work done on
Vile, Mr. Snow stated that that class
o. road was excellent as to durability
il the work was done right and proper.
He said that too much dirt should not
be permitted to be mixed in the foun-
dation layer of rock, as after short
usage the rock would work to the sur
face. and that thorough watering for
some time after construction was abso-
lutely necessary to insure thorough
binding. Wagon traffic over water
bound macadamized roads tended to
make the surface frmer, but where
automobiles were permitted to speed
over them at 20 miles an hour or more.
YVES very detcr:orating. The motor car
he said was most serious test trial
for any road. and especially to this par
ticular class of roads. Drivers have a
habit of hitting the grit whenever they
strike smooth surface, and the heavy
weight on rough wheels has a tendency
to grind down into the hardest sur
faces. Unless there was municipal
ordinance regulating speed within the
town limits, and that ordinance rig
idly enforced without fear or favor, he
said the .'oadc would speedily wear out
in spots. He called attention to the
fact that motorists rarely reduce their
speed at corners, and the grinding of
the wheels of cars on a curve has a
tendency to tear up the street.
For that matter it does not need a
practical road builder to supply this
last information. The wearing effect
of speeding cars at corners especially
can already be noticed in this place,
and if some provision is not made and
enforced rigidly to compel drivers to
reduce speed on TIE newly graded
streets, and particularly at the cor
ners. on. $4,000 improvements will
have to be largely done over again with
i'll twelve months. Now that the town
has the handsomely improved streets
it would be just as we'll to use some
precaution so that the money that is
to be paid therefor is not entirely
thrown away.

miles an hour, and Notwithstanding
the firmness of the lrface of the new

gravel was thrown up by the spinning
wheels like a cloud Property owners
who are called upon to pay the cost
of this improvement are vehement in
their protests against the use of the
graded streets as speedways and cal
upon the authorities to vigorously en-
force the ordinance against fast driv-
ing within the town limits. A few
examples viii put a stop to this I'M
necessary destruction of the public
streets.

they had to be contented' with the
cushions of the car for a bed Mr..
Forde reports that the crops on the
north half are unusually heavy, al
though owing to the late and frequent
rains much of the grain is lodged, and
it will require considerable warm
weather to ripen all the grain before
the first snow falls 1t is to be sin
cerely hoped that the farmers are not
to meet with the loss from early win
ter they did some years ago.

discharged him."
Did you make that case precedent for the
present trial?'
NO, did not" said Mr.. Heddy einphatical-
". when l went into that jury box l was
absolutely unbiased l did not even think
about the Hannigan case at the time. l re-
membered it afterward."
How about the Thaw case3 Did that in
fuence you"
THE Thaw case is quite different" said Mr.
Heddy "Thaw knew all about his wife before
he married her. He did it with open eyes. He
knew what he was getting. Cleary, on the
other hand didn't know what was going on
until the doctor told him his daughter ought
to be married. That would be great shock
10 a man, now, wouldn't it? 1t might drive
him out of his mind. mightnt it? | tell you,
sir that in framing our verdict all OF the evil
dence went to prove one single point-that
Cleary was insane when he shot Newman.
And in declaring him insane we went upon the
evidence of the doctor who said that man
could be insane for a minute or an hour or
day or week or a month"

and discovered that he did not have enough
money to pay for the telegram. He borrowed
$40 from his friend. Then he spent the rest
of the night walking about and visiting differ
ent places. He drank heavily. The next day
he went to Haverstraw wearing the same

shirt and carpet slippers
They claimed he went to Haverstraw to
transact business. He telephoned his wife
that he was going"
Didn't that seem suspicious"
mot to me- When a man is worried he is
likely to go anywhere. He can't be contented.
According to the evidence as we saw it Cleary
wasn't right in his mind when he reached
Haverstraw People who saw him remarked
on his appearance because he was generally
neatly dressed.
when he got there man met him with an
automobile. He had to go to the garage and
then he went to the Office There were two in

of rice was issued and kettles for cooking IT,
As we had tasted about twelve hours we began
to prepare our meal at once. The guard, being
made up of boys and old men, were apparently
Indifferent to their duties, and as many of their
officers were dressed in blue uniforms taken
from Northern soldiers it was not easy to dis
tinguish prisoners from Confederates. One of
my companions CHANGED to notice this and
asked quickly:
Twill you try to escape with me nowP
I'VE put few handfuls OF rice in our pock-
cts, grabbed our blankets and started TO cross
the line. One guard leaning on his rife;
another was walking away, so we passed be-
tween them without challenge. Full of sus-
pense we pushed on toward the shelter OF a
pine wood and there we dropped upon tho
ground We had so far escaped notice and had
not been disturbed by voice or gun shot"
Hiding in deep hole covered by twigs and
dry leaves, they were discovered by dutiful
Newfoundland dog that reported their pres
ence to two Confederate soldiers.
We'll, Johnnies,' said they, coming out of
the hole, "the jig's up Well go back with
you"
"You'uns needn't go back. You'uns is al
right to get away" was the unexpected reply
OF the Confederates
Following the North Star, they wandered on
across country and through swamp for several
days, until, desperate from hunger they finally
knocked at log cabin to beg for bread. A
poor white" woman responded Hospitality TO
their request and they started on again. They
were close to capture at railroad bridge, but
were not discovered, and finally some negroes
undertook to aid them in crossing tie river.
Hiding in straw filled loft, the negroes killed
a couple OF chickens and made them chicken
pie, one % The most delicious meals they ever
had, they vowed. They remained in the loft too
long, for awakening the following morning the
writer "fet the attraction which comes from
an eye fixed steadily on yours" He turned
and saw pair of small black eyes staring at
him through crevice in the logs. Shortly
company OF Confederate soldiers came up and
shouted:
Come down from there. you Yanksl Come
DOWN.
They came down and were returned 20 their
prison just in time TO join a squad OF ex-
changed prisoners on its way North.
