WINTER CARE OF ROADS.
Excellent Suggestions by John A..
Morrison, County Agent Of Frank
lin County.

Water. not cold, is the cause of the
decoration of roads in winter, ac-
cording to the road specialists of the
department. Cold weather, does not
in itself injure roads, no matter wheth-
er they are earth, gravel or macadam.
In fact an earth road will stand more
traffic when it is solidly frozen than
at any other time. Excess water, how
ever, is always detrimental to a high
way. When cold weather turns this
is greatly increased. Ice occupies con
siderably more space than the water
from which it is formed and every
person who has lived in a cold climate
is familiar with the powerful bursting
effect of water when left to freeze in
a confined vessel. The same action
takes place when a wet road freezes
to any considerable depth. 1t simply
bursts, or, as we term it in road par
lance, the road heaves. Later, when
the frost leaves, the road is disintre-
grated and ruts badly. If this process
repeated a number OF times during
the winter, a gravel or macadam ROAD
may be practically destroyed, while
an earth road may become entirely i'm
p%assable.
A dry road will not heave. Rock
gravel, sand and eve cray, when per
fectly dry, contract slightly on freez-
to-. II A-Aa- 80 aUrNn nd nm fraa1fnp
these materials must contain or b,
mixed with water, and the more water
they contain the greater the expansion
which takes place. But so long as the
road remains frozen the damage does
not become apparent. Hence the fire.
quent and %rroneou idea that 1t is the
thaw which Injuries the road. The in
jury vas done when the water In th'
road froze and the particles of tn,
road surface-broken stone, sand Of
still finer particles Of earth or ella,
we're pushed apart by the expanding
power OF the freezing water. The thav
merely allows the ice TO melt and as
sumo it's original volume as water.
The remedy is self evident. Keel
the water out of the road. The tim
to begin preventive measures is earl.

the safety first idea:

Accident Report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the first
quarter of 1915 January, February,
March) indicate that the railroads of
the United States with a mileage of
over 100000 miles operated with a to-
tai of only 65 fatalities Cincluding pas
sengers, employees, tresspassers and
other) in train accidents (where train
was in ~accident.) In these three
month the railroads handled 202,-
000,0o passengers, who travelled q
distance of 6.S71. 1904 600 miles. Sta
tistics show this to be the best safety
record for any quarter since the law
requiring monthly accident reports
Wen into effect in 1901, or in IA years.
Official returns of the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the last
three calendar years, show fatalities

CHINESE FEAR THEIR FOWLS
Odd Superstition Causes Shortage of
 Chickens and Eggs

Details of Chinese superstitions and folk lore are related in a letter from Gilbert Mcintosh, a Presbyterian mis- sionary in Shanghai, and which was made public by the Presbyterian board of foreign missions. Mir Mcintosh in his letter says, according to the New York Herald:
 The railway has brought much near CT to Shanghai a Taoist hell, in the province of Chekiang. which brings great profit to the prists. In the tenn pie are long rows of figures of kings of hades; efffgies of the spirits of the low CT world, ready to seize the victims and escort them below: gods in the torture chamber passing iudEment, and dem ons carrying their orders out, and many other grewsome contrivances to work on the fears and incredulity of the pilgrims and swell the revenues of the priests.
 You possibly are surprised at the su- perstition and credulity that prevail The other day the local papers in Shanghai referred to the fear of inn pending trouble arising out of the re- 1 cudescenCe Of a peculiar superstition which exists in the minds of a number i CT CnlneSe TeSarOlnS 0-CldW CHlSheilS- quote from local account:
 The superstition is one which has | been believed for centuries, latterly more especially. if not exclusively, by fthe people in the lowest sphers. all though at one time more influential people were disposed to attach consid- erable importance to it. Like many other superstitions. however, it has felt the effects of education. until now it is believed in only by the mere unedu- 1 cated classes.
 The superstition is that all chickens having claws" on their wings are poi
 sonous, and that they generally fore tell disaster. It is not necessary that all affected fowls should be possessed of five claws, but the more there are
 the more poisonous is the flesh.
 The superstition is now causing a
 good deal of trouble at Liuanchow. As ! the result of the destruction of fowls
 because of the five claws" fowls anC
 eggs are practically unprocurable, and the farmers are feeling the position
 acLtely.

A FUTURE BUSINESS MAN

One day a man who was inter ested in social work went into the tenement district. and, wishing to see a certain man but having only a general idea as to where he lived, approached small boy for infor- nation.
 My boy" he remarked in a kind and gentle tone to the youngster, "can you show me where Mir. Schmidtowitz lives?''
 Yes, sir" was the quick reply Of the boy, scenting a nickel tip. Come right with me. sir"
 With this the boy entered an ad- jacent doorway and started to climb the difficult stair. Up four flights he went the visitor breathlessly following, and finally paused at an open door.
 This is the floor. sir said the boy, wistfully looking for the coin. "Mr. Schmidtowitz lives in there"
 Looks as if we had stacked up against hard luck" remarked the visitor, peering into the room. MT. Schmidtowitz doesn't appear to be here"

Senator Smith and Neutral Trade

Senator Ioke smith of Georgia. addressing ga meeting of New York importers held to protest .,rainst British interference with American com raerce was certainly less concerned with imports than with exports. smiths state and all the southern or growing states have been hard tit With greater natural demand rather use for cotton the price of low that great southern industry seriously threatened The for siEn market American cotton has been restricted to the allied countries. We can send n" cotton to Norway and Sweden. Denmark, Holland An American cotton laden ship found the Atlantic destined to a port other than an English, French I.tssan or Italian port seized and diverted to British port That is American cotton is deprived of more than half it's foreign market. and it is the breadth of the market that makes demand and prices. Great Britain ny its order-in-councl is enabled to fix price of cotton and it has fixed it.
 The grievance of Senator smith, though it was not expressed, deeper than that of the i'm l-orters his part of the country and all parts of the country can get along, with some inconvenience

But such a tribunal could only decide whether or not Great Britain been within her rights in inter fcrinS with our neutral trade. There could be To relief for cotton planters and other producers whose markets have been destroyed.
 The presence and attitude of Senator Smith at the meeting O the importers leaGs to the belief that the coming session of congress will consider shis question of the rights of neUtrals and that members of congress will consider it from the viewpoints of their constituents. It will be very likely a cold -blooded consideration in which no ac- count will be taken of popular sentiment with respect to the beI4iyerents.
