to his office the other day to assist
bent, gray, old man who was futilely
endeavoring to push a wheel barrow

departed after giving the beaming old
fellow a slap on the back. Just

The present condition of the country
roads indicate that Grant county has
either spent a great deal of money for
good roads without having them stand
no in bad weather, or else we have
simply got fair start at the problem.
We believe the latter premise is cor
rect. Some day we will evolve to
point in road building where we will
approach the proposition i'll a candid
manner. Real roads cost money just
as real pavements cost money. 1t
would seem that the main travelled
roads need almost perfect construc-
perfect as far as wear and the
elements will permit. For the branch
roads and the lesser used highways
some system of dragging and oiling
that will keep them at least i'll fair
condition in times like the present.

Statistics Show Enormous Quantity of
Beer Made In Germany.
Some idea Of the enormous quantity
of beer manufactured for the use of
Bavarian soldiers in the field can be
gathered from the figures Of the au-
thorities of the First Bavarian army
corps, just published.
Munich breWeries alone deliver, it is
estimated, 40 carloads of beer in kegs
and 60 carloads Of bottled beer each
week. The first contains an average of
1920 gallons to a carload and the Sec
ond $500 three-quarter liter bottles.
Other breweries deliver so carloads Of
key beer, 1920 gallons to car.
Engaged in making this beer are the
Bavarian State brewery, the Royal
Hofbrauhaus and the state owned
Weihanstephan brewery, in addition
to many private breweries. The army
authorities pay "a marks for keg con-
tanning twenty-five gallons and %
marks for case containing fifty three
quarter liter bottles.

GOVERNMENT CUTS COST
OF RADIUM PRODUCTION,
Secretary Lane Urges the Conservation
Of Ore Deposits.

Secretary Lane announced that the
production Of radium from Colorado
carnotite ores by the bureau Of mines
of the department of the interior, in
connection with the National Radium
institute, has passed the experimental
stage in its new process and is on a
successful manufacturing basis. He
also declared that the statements made
to congress concerning the ability Of
the bureau of mines to produce rallium
at greatly decreased cost over other
processes had actually been verified
and that the cost was even less than
predicted. Secretary Lane said:
1.-The cost of one gram Of radium
metal produced in the form of bromide
during March, April and May of the
present year was $36,O5O, am inform
ed by DR.. Charles L. Parsons, in charge
OF the rad1um Investigations of the bu-
reau. This includes the cost Of ore, in
surance, repairs, amortization allow
ance for plant and equipment, cost Of
bureau of mines salaries and all ex-
penses incident to the production of
high grade radium bromide. When you
consider that radium has been selling
for $12O,OO0 and 100000 a gram, you
will see just what the bureau of mines
has accomplished along these lines
''The cost Of producing radium in the
small experimental plant during the
first few months of the bureaus activi-
ties was somewhat higher, but not
enough seriously to affect the final av-

WORKERS OF AMERICA
GROWING MORE THRIFTY.
Savings Show a Marked Increase De-
spite Period of Slack Times.

The building and loan associations of
the United States increased their assets
a little more than $1OO,0OO.OO0 in 1914,
marking growth of S.73 per cent over
the previous year, according to the an
nual report Of II. f. Cellarius Of Gin
cinnati, secretary Of the United States
League Of Local Building and Loan As
the twenty-third annual meeting
Secretary Cellarius continued:
considering the fact that this period
included nearly six months Of the great
war in Europe, during which time there
also existed in this country an indus
trial depression more or less severe,
this showing speaks volumes for the
thrift and saving habits Of the wage
earning classes of our citizens, who are
the chief patrons of these institutions.
1.-THE hard times apparently have
stimulated an enforced economy, have
required reduction of unnecessary
expenses, which in times of great pros
perity are usually on the increase, and
have brought home to the people the
necessity of conserving their resources.
"As result they are saving as much
or. more in proportion than they did
during more prosperous periods.
There are in the United States 6.612
building and loan associations, with a
membership of 3,1O3.435 and assets az
gregating $1,357 ,34O,O36. This is an in
crease over last year of 1873 associa-
tons, 267,OO2 members and $1OS,96O, 1897
in assets. The average amount due
each member is $437.36, as against
S44O.16. the amount shown last year."

RUSSIA FORESAW
WARSAW BAT ) TIE
Last Line Before City a Real
Trench Gibraltar,
WORK REQUIRED MONTHS.

Correspondent Describes Formidable
Defenses He Saw on Battle Front.
Pronounced by Military Experts to
Be the Best In All Europe-Six Rows,
One Behind the Other.
What is probably the most important
battle Of the war so far and one mark
ed by horrible slaughter ON both sides
occurred on the outskirts of Warsaw.
The Russians, it seems, foresaw this
engagement and had erected the most
complete system of trenches at this
point. A correspondent Of the Chicago
News, who spent some time at this
front, describes the Notifications as
follows:
'These defenses are called the Bio
nie-Grodek line. This is halfway be-
tween Warsaw and the old line of de-
Tense on the Bzura and Rawka rivers,
on which the Russians and Germans
began fighting on Dec. 10.
1.-The new line at Blonie is about If
teen miles from the city. 1t was con-
structed by the Russians during the
winter. 1t was not built by soldiers,
but by Polish laborers employed by
the Russians at Is cents day. The
line ran from the curve of the Vistula
north of Warsaw, at the fortress Of
Novo Georgievsk, south through the
town of Blonie, then south to the town
of Grodek, then southeast to point
of the Vistula river virtually at the
fortress of Ivangorod. 1t was about
fifty miles long.
''This line constituted the last de-
fensive position of the Russians west
Of the Vistula river. have been over
parts of the line, and in places which
visited it consisted of six distinct lines
of trenches, one behind another, from
200 yards to 1000 yards apart. These
trenches were constructed with the ut
most care and were pronounced by the
foreign military observers who accom-
panied me the best constructed trench
es they had ever seen. They were far
better than the original defenses of the
Russians on the Vistula and Rawka
rivers.
"The trenches are connected by sunk
en- passageways in different places.
These afford an opportunity for the
troops to retire from trench to trench.
There are elaborate projections Of
barbed wire entanglements on wooden
posts. Some Of these entanglements
project high above the surface of the
ground. Others are only two feet high
and are constructed in a broad ditch,
which prevents their being seen at a
distance.
Built Up With Sand Bags.
LAS to the trenches themselves, they
are deep enough so that man may
stand upright in them and still be pro-
tected. They are deliberately built up
with sand bags, and the front part has
been covered with, sod. They are so
situated that the field of fire is over
at least 1000 yards Of open fiat plain,
unobstructed by trees or any shelter
for an enemy, so that charge made
by the attacking troops would have to
be in plain view Of every Russian
soldier in the trenches"
