Will Build a Road.

1t surely is rough to pay taxes
and then have to build the roads
by private work; but since Penn
sylvania has made such a muddle
of the system Of road making,
what else can a long suffering
puplic do? Good Roads Day
work in the State aroused people
to see that they could do what
fifty bosses" riding in automo-
biles failed to do. (By the way,
Governor Brumbaugh has dis
missed those fifty men as useless
ornaments of the Highway De-
partment). To come to our story,
the business men of Everett sub
scribed 500, a private citizen
subscribed $100, and two town.
ships subscribed each $100, to re-
grade and repair road to Friends
Cove. We congratulate our
neighbors for their pluck. They
expect to save many times $400
in horse flesh, wear and tear on
wagons, to say nothing of time
saved in travelling, and the COM
fort of riding over good roads.
Also, the business men of Ever
EFT will not be disappointed in
their expectation of increased
trade with the district connected
up by a better road.

Good Citizen.

Mr.. David Gregory, of Thomp-
son township, spent a few hours
in town Tuesday. Mr.. Gregory
belongs to one of the oldest FAM
lilies in the County and owns the
farm which has been in the fam
lily name from the time of his
great-grand father back in Rev.
olutionary times. While David
has been called on by his town
ship to serve in local Offices, the
Gregories have never been Office
seekers, and have not sought nor
held a County office in the his
tory of the County. By plenty
of hard work and careful man.
agement, Mr.. Gregory has shown
ability in managing his own af-
fairs, and as may be seen by his
announcement elsewhere in this
paper, he solicits the support of
the Democratic voters at the
coming primary election for the
Office of County Treasurer.

Eye Injured.

Harry l.. OFT, foreman of a
gang of men working on the Lin
coin Highway, met with a pain
full accident last Thursday when
a sharp spawl from a stone which
he was sledging struck him in
the eye. Workmen tried to re-
move the spawl, but the piece
was too tightly driven in to be re-
moved by ordinary means. W..
G. Patterson took him to Cham
bersburg hospital. Fortunately
the wound was at one side of the
eyeball, and he will not lose the
sight.

II Makes a Bad Road.

1t would seem that there has
been enough condemnation of
roads made of broken stone and
covered deeply with clay to for
ever exclude that method from
practice. But it seems that there
are still some road makers who
think they must follow it. Who
knows of a piece of road made in
that manner where the stones
did not sooner or later come to
the top and become a real nui-
sance? The reason for the move
ment of the stones to the top is
not hard to find. When clay is
wet, it is slippery as grease; and
when heavy vehicle pass over it
when wet, the stones slip out
from under the weight exactly as
cherry seed "scoots" out of the
skin when pinched between the
fingers. Soapstone slate has the
same greasy properties, and when
very wet, the same results arise
if stones have been covered with
it. To make broken hard stones
stay where they are wanted,
they must be pounded or rolled
down until face finds face of
broken surface, and friction then
holds them in place. 1t is better
ten times better-to let the
public rattle over the bare stones
for a time until they settle, than
to ruin the work by covering it
from sight temporarily with clay,
only to have them reappear and
torment travellers forever after
wards.
The only exception to this rule
is in case mountain sandstone is
used. These stones are easily
crushed, and unlike limestone,
and some others of similar break
ing character, a very thin layer
of dirt-not more than an inch
has been found to hold them in
place. But experienced road
makers tell US that more than an
inch of covering for sandstone
creates the conditions complained
of.

Chicken Thief Captured.

Miss Ellawea Johnston, of Ayr
township, had seventy-five young
chickens about ready for the fry
ing pan. She now has but sixty.
A thief had been helping him
self to the tender morsels. Last
Thursday morning she discovered
Mr.. Thief in the chicken house.
She called to Harry Gress, her
tenant, who came running with
a club. A smart tap on the head
put the Great Horned Owl to
sleep. We measured it's wings
four and one-half feet from tip
to tip. The fact that the owl
was found inside the house in
daylight indicates that impudent
fellow had resolved to take per-
manent board where living was
so good.

PICNIC DRINKING WATER.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., Ii. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

The Picnic season has begun.
Every alluring spot for miles
around in the vicinity of the
towns and cities will be the Mec-
ca for pleasure seekers from now
until frost comes.
Almost everybody attends a
picnic sometimes during the sea-
son. Now that the automobile
has made even the remote dis
tricts readily accessible for city
dwellers, the number of urban
residents who seek an occasional
days relaxation in the country,
has tremendously increased.
Nobody thinks of going on a
picnic without a generous supply
of food; but few people are far
sighted enough to carry their
drinking water. Some spring,
brook, or farmers well they feel
will be sure to supply this essen
tial. Aa result of the indiscri-
inmate dependence upon unfa-
miliar sources of water supply,
! there are hundreds of Measure
seekers who contract typhoid fe-
yer every season.
That period Of the year when
typhoid fever is always most pre-
valent is that at the end and i'm
mediately following the vacation
season. While this is not alone
the result of picnics they unques-
tionably play an important part
in this annual toll of illness and
death.
1t is not a difficult matter if
one is taking an auto trip to car
ry a supply of drinking water
from a source that is known to
uncontaminated. Moderate pri-
ced vacuum bottles or other form
of containers can be secured and
which will keep the water cool.
If a local water supply with
which one is unfamiliar must be
used, boiling the water for twen-
ty minutes will make it safe.
Unfortunately clear water is by
no means pure water. Many a
sparkling, crystal-clear, roadside
spring is open to pollution and
no matter how attractive the lit
tie brooklet which babbles along
under the overhanging trees may
appear, one must needs follow it
to its source to pe certain that it
is free from contamination. So
for safety's sake, carry your
drinking water in the picnic bas-
ket.

 If the people of Seward are wise they will set tc work at once on the effort to have the insane asylum for the Alaska insane established near this city Ine government will rather welcome every attempt or the people to develop this district and to make t prosepr ous for on it's prosperity will depend the success oi the railroad
 The plan of sending the insane out of the Terri tory begun when Alaska was supposed co oe noun ing better than wilderness. This was supposed to be shed There was Alaska worth speaking of outside of Juneau. Skagway Ska and Nome. To send patients to Juneau would be almost the same as sending them to Seattle and Nome entirely out of the question: even if it was discovered at all when the insane pa tents were first out which is doubtful There was nothing for it then but to find some place outside Tor our unfortunates but things have undergone vast a particular may be said to have been discovered only years after the establishment of outside asylum for Alaskans but now that 1t is known there exists no longer any good reason why Alaska should not take care of it's own unfortunates.
 Severe complaints have been voiced from time to time in the treatment of the insane at Mornngside. Care should be taken before accepting all that has been said in this respect but the fact remains that h the insane people of the Territory kept for treatment in the Territory they would always be in touch with their friends and safe from anything approaching abuse
 The climate and an the other conditions around Seward eminenty suited to the care of such pa ents according to the opinion of specialists I is the most central location for the whole Territory and one of the most wholesome places imaginable. The expense now incurred for sending them outside could be saved or the money be utilized the benefit of the poor people themselves Indeed there appears no reason at all why Alaskan insane should be sent away from the Territory at all but there is reason why they should not be and n Seward gets to work it stands a very good chance of succeeding

Today closes the first year ot the war in Europe. n was at noon the first day Of last August that Germany delivered her declaration of on Russia. War with France and Belgium and England followed quickly Many things have been learned in the year that has passed since then. Among them that warfare even among Nations fairly well prepared for war, is slow CT game than 1t was few years ago. It was freely predicted that with all the engines of destruction and modern annhuiators of time. the would not last ninety days. A great many experts set six weeks as the limit for hostities Yet. year after the conflict began the end seems not nearly near as 1t did a year ago The events of the year indicate that there win be no more three days campaigns and the termina- ton of a war like was the case with the Waterloo campaign in Belgium 100 years ago.
 The year has also developed that there will be no real vctors in the conflict All the great countries engaged win lose The loss might in the end fall more heavily upon one or more of the countries than on oth- CTS yet all must lose Already the war has cost more than 100000 in dead and permanently injured. and more than S2OOO0OOOOo0 in money. say nothing of the pensions and interest that follow It has cost many treasured edifces and works of art and Ideals have fallen with the statues and cathedra and bridges
 But the worst of it all is that there is no end to the strife as far as the present dscloses The German arms have made some mileage but the vitals of no country have been reached except those of little Belgium the innocent by-stander who had interest in the quarrel And the German army has failed in most of it's undertakings The thrust toward Paris the two drives the French ports the English channel and two or three offensive movements against Warsaw were stopped Every nation that entered the war is stiu strong and ready for more. On the other hand there has yet been serious move to hit Germany If we except that invasion which von Hindeubure broke up the Mazouran Lake country of East Prus sa. And what's more, we are told that far as France and England are concerned at least there will be none until next year.
 While no one can tell what the future may bring forth the indications the present writing that the war will continue indefinitely. that twice two mil lion more must die and many times twenty billions expended in wasteul destruction before the beginning of the end will be in view.
