PUSH SCHOOL GARDEN IDEA
Manifold Advantages Are Apparent

not every child is fitted, either by ma.
ture, inclination or education for
clerical or professional work at the
close of his school years. Therefore.

Of study will but do for the skeleton

talents in the line Of horticulture who
will follow some phase Of it for life.
yet would not have received the neces-
cary introduction to the work except
Tor the garden work during school
years. Hence the necessity for pro-
FUGITIVE and attractive school gardens
should be apparent to all.

Moved Pole and Wires.

Moving an electric-1ight pole, with
its burden of wires, was the feat &C.
complished recently by Cleveland H.
Eliminating company, which is regard
ed as novel from several standpoints.
In adding five feet to the width of St.
Claire avenue it was decided to move
the curb on each side of the street
back two and one-half feet, but for
part, of the way the difficulty was in
creased by the presence Of a pipe just
inside Of the curb. This was over
come by the use of an electric truck
Of three and one-half tons capacity
supplied with three-horsepower mo-
tor and winch, which is ordinarily
used for drawing wires through the
conduits. This outfit was backed up
to a distance Of two and one-half feet
from the curb and the pole secured
by chain near the ground. The pole
and its load of wires then was raised
and the truck backed to the curb and
the pole lowered into its new loca-
ton. This was done in many in
stances without any mishap.

Worth, the Dressmaker.

The noted Partisan dressmaker,
Worth, owed his early success to the
patronage of that famous parsonage
of the third empire, Princess Pauline
de Metternich, the wife of the Austri-
an ambassador to France. BY her wit
and numerous vagaries Of dress and
manner she created sensation at the
court OF Napoleon III and Eugene.
Therefore it was easy for Worth to
become the most sought of the worlds
dresmakers when the princess ap-
proved his styles. Charles Worth,
while SO long the creator of French
fashion, was an Englishman, born in
Bourne, England, in 1925, and died in
Paris in 1895.-Baltimore Star.

combination would be ugly if the coat

The use of plaid for collar and cuffs
on a jacket of solid color is often ad-

ed just now. The suggestion Of put
ting plaid peltry on dark cloth suits
was brought out by Premet, but it was

SUPPLIES FOR THE SOLDIER

With Supplies.

General Grant said that when he
had re-established railroad commune
cation at Chattanooga and so brought
food to his starving army the SOLDIER
called 1t the cracker line" 1t Is the
most essential line In war, "Giard'

must the soldiers wear out when con

To feed Philadelphia requires daily
many train.loads Of provisions comiI &
in all directions. A soldier, like eit
zen, must be fed. He needs clothe,,
blankets, rifles, ammunition, and he
requires them constantly.
The cracker line" is the line that
connects the army with its own stores
to the rear. That's why we hear sc
much about cutting the enemys line
Of communication. To cut such a line
and keep 1t cut means starvation.
But we had two spectacular instances
In the Civil war where such lines were
cut without producing any particul'
results. Just prior to Gettysburg, Ge.~

cavalry raids carried temporary terror
to their foes, but neither was produo

"GUARDED" BY A CRAZY MAN
Sane Prisoner Gets a Suit Of Clothes
and Doesn't Think He Has
Much Kick Coming.

When Frank Begosek, Ravensdale
coal miner, was examined by lunacy
commission and found not insane he
was ordered sent to the county hos
pital to recuperate for a few days. At
the same time another patient from
the Jail was found insane and ordered
to Steilacoom.
The deputy sheriff in charge of the
two prisoners misunderstood the Or
ders and reported to the Jail officials
that both men were "crazy" and had
been ordered to Steilacoom. So
Begosek was packed off to the asy-
Ium without protest. Later Deputy
Sheriff John Cudihee went after him
and tucked him in the county hos
pital.
Begosek was perfectly good humored
about it. They had burned his clothes
at Steilacoom and allotted him new
suit and pair of shoes, and he will
90 home fitted out for the winter.
1t is a very good place, and the
meals are plenty" said Begosek la
conically, referring to Steilacoom.

HIGHWAY

DEPENDENCE ON DIRT ROADS
They Are Of Much Importance %

In Year II Properly Cared For.

For many years nine-tenths Of the
roads in the country must DO dirt
roads. It 10 on these roads that farm.
ers for the most part 60 to church and
90 to school. They are much more
important than the greater highways
Of travel in the country. We have q
great demand for good roads," mean
ing hard-sarfaced roads of some Sort
whether brick, macadam, gravel or &C.
ment; but we have come to a point
now when it should be known to all
men that since the advent of the auto
mobile no limestone road Is worth put.
ting down. In the corn belt, about the
only road material we have, outside
of our dirt roads, is limestone. The
brick road Is better in the end than
macadam, because it will endure the
strain Of automobile travel. The CO.
ment road is yet in the experimental
stage. The gravel road is only pos
sible where gravel Is near. Hence the
great majority of our farm folks must
travel to and from the church and
school and nearby town over dirt
roads.
II the dirt road is first properly
drained to take off the water that
comes in from below or from the side,
II it is properly graded up and there
are good, permanent culverts and
bridges, and it is then properly
dragged, the dirt road is good enough
for nine months in the year, and long

piled with, it is better during most Of
that time than any macadam or brick

Some of our readers will say: "Oh,
you are singing that old song again.
You are talking about the drag" Yer

we have been glad to see that farmers

the drag is not as useful there as here,

they are nevertheless using the drag.
There is no use dragging the road
until it has been drained and rounded
up by the scraper: but after that is
done, the drag is the best tool that
can be used. Our readers who have
automobiles often find during the sum.
mer a piece of dragged road that is a
delight; and then they run onto a piece
where the supervisors evidently had
no gumption, a piece of road that
causes vexation of spirit if not inter:
nal profanity every time the farmer
rides over it. 1t is enough to make
even a righteous man mad
One thing we want to remind you
of-that the longer a road has been
dragged, the better 1t becomes. We
have never claimed that you could
make perfect dragged road inside OF
about six years of proper dragging;
but dragging improves it from the
start, and in time the clay of the road
becomes almost like brick, but at the
, same time smooth and elastic; and if
the road be oval and we'll drained, it
Is an ideal road.
