Cost of State Roads.

The cost of road is dependent upon
not only the type Of construction but the
amount and character of grading to be
done, the cost of labor and materials,
the width and thickness Of surfacing,
the character and amount of drainage re-
quired, and other factors OF equal vari-
ability. Based upon general averages, it
has been ascertained by highway spe-
cialists of the department that under
average conditions macadam roads can
he built in Southern States at from
a, 900 to 5000 per mile, gravel roads
at from $500 to $500 per mile, and
sand.clay and topsoil roads at from $500
to 81 500 per mile. In New England and
the other Eastern States macadam roads
are reported at from So, 900 to $4,000 per
mile, gravel roads at from 5000 to
$1,000. and bituminous macadam from
$4,000 to $4,000 according to the char
acter of construction, whether surface
treated, penetration, or mixing method.
The bituminous type is quite general
in the Eastern States. As indicating
costs in other sections of country, the
state highway commissioner OF Michigan
reported in 1918 the average cost for mac
adam roads to be "a 800 per mile, clay
gravel roads 81, 800 per mile, and con-
crete roads about $4,000 per mile. The
average cost of state highways construct
ed in Ohio in 1918 was IS, 1888. Accord.

highways averaged s14650 per mile and
the macadam highways $3.50. In Cali

The Yellowstone Dictionary.

When the Yellowstone hotel and camp
men shipped their seasons "help" to
the park early in June to be ready for
the rush of visitors, the special train
that carried them afforded plenty of fun
for the cities at which It stopped en-
route. 1t was merry crowd that filled
the fifteen Pullmans, one that knew how
to entertain itself exceedingly we'll.
"The employees have their own lexicon
of descriptions, says the Salt Lake City
News, describing the scene at the sta
ton. 1.-THE terms used to designate diff
ferent classes of help are as follows:
Savspes-all of the help in a generic
sense; Heavers -dining-room help;
Wrauglers-horse herders; Barn dogs
help used about the corrals; Swaddies-
soldiers in the park; Dudes-all tourists;
Mulligan Dump-where the drivers eat.
The aesthetic designation of Biscuit
Shooters is applied to the hotel wait
ers."
The regular hotel help is strictly pro.
fessonal, but the camp help largely
amateur. The Wylie Camping Co. alone
received 5000 applications for $50 places,
many of the applicants being school
teachers, college students, and high
school pupils of both sexes.

PAGES at Andoyer Fair,

The fair of the Oxford North Agricul-
tural Society at Andover last week did
not have a favorable day on Wednesday,
there being high wind and cool air,
but on Thursday the conditions were
much better, and there was a large
crowd.
Special happenings of interest not on
the schedule were fire in the roof OF
the dining hall on Wednesday, which
burned small hole before 1t was put
out, and the injury of boy on Thurs.
day. The boy was Winslow Rand, g
years of age, son of c. A. Rand of An
dover, who was driving two goats along
the sidewalk when he was knocked
down by an automobile driven by Mr..
Lapbam of Rumford. The driver fur
nished bonds for his appearance in court
when wanted.
The weather interfered somewhat with
Wednesdays races. Three races were
pulled off, the freefor.all going to i've

Timberland owners in Bangor and vi
cinity report that for the first time in
many years there has been practically no
loss from forest fires in that section of
the state, the frequent and heavy rains
having been decided benefit. The 10.
dergrowth has been so wet that it
was almost impossible in most places for
a fire to get started. In addition, great
er precautions than ever have been TAX
en-, the warden and patrol system having
been developed to high state of eff.
cheney. Many warning signs have been
posted along the highways, and various
methods have been adopted for educat-
ing the people to greater care and pru-
dence in and about the forest sections.

New State sauatoria.

Under the new law and policy for
Maine adopted by the last Legislature,
by October Is, Maine will have two san
atoriums operated under State control.
The two institutions are already we'll
known az Hebron and Fairfield. In pur-
suance Of definite plan Hebron is to be
known "a the Western Maine Sanatorium
and Fairfield a. the Central Maine Sana-
torium. For the present at least the
Central Maine Sanatorium will be the
Receiving Sanatorium. All applications
must, therefore, be made through the
Office of the Chairman of Trustees-Dr.
T. E. Hardy, Waterville. Proper appli.
cation blanks, with full instructions and
much valuable information, are being
prepared and may be had from above
headquarters.
The State has made the maximum
charge Five ~ Dollars per patient per
week. The Trustees believe, each one
receiving treatment at any of the State
Sanatoria, should strive, or be required,
10 pay the maximum rate II possible.
Doctors sending patients to these institu-
,iops for treatment are asked to bear
this in mind, and to impress upon their
patients the fact that every one who re-
fuses or neglects (even at sacrifice) to
pay as near the full rate of $500 as pos
sible is selfishly sapping the resources
Of the State and really robbing Others OF
the right to the generous care they de-
serve.
The Maine Anti. Tu berculosis Associa-
ton rejoices in the passage of this bill
which commits the State to this tor
Maine. new highly desirable policy of
State tuberculosis Sanatoria. The Ex-
ecutive Secretary has seen two OF the
Trustees and visited the Central Maine
Sanatorium under the new regime. That
institution is filled almost to the limit
Built to accommodate 80 it now has A
with several applicants on the waiting
list. The patients, despite their Attic
ton constitute "happy family" One
patient told the Secretary-"Our doctor
and the nurses are 80 good to US and so

smiling" Aud that was on September

m full evidence. The State Association
will still continue it's educational cam
paign of prevention, and in this will work
in harmony with and is promised the
hearty cooperation Of the Trustees of
State Sauatoria.
By October /. it is planned to have an
embryonic preventoria in operation at
the Central Maine Sauatorium in Fair
field. This will be school for tubercu-
lous children, starting with those al
ready at the institution. 1t is hoped this
movement thus modestly inaugurated
will soon appeal to those communities at
least where the educational campaign IL
already organized, and that it will not
be many years before all our cities and
large towns will have one such school as
a regular part of the local school system.

Universalist Ladies' Social Union.

Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 80, the
Good Cheer Society of the Universaist
Church closed up its affairs and passed
out of existence. This change was
brought about by Rev. c. e. Miller who,
with the trustees of the parish, felt that
the social life of the church would be
greatly enhanced by the Inauguration of
a new social movement with an entirely
new code of bylaws and membership
list
The Good Cheer Society came into be-
ing with the efforts of Rev. w. w. Hoop
er some fourteen years ago and in the
interval that has elapsed, there has been
obtained fine church property aggre-
eating Sll 900 in value, toward which
this society contributed hundreds of dol
lars in additions, improvements and ap-
purtenances, besides carrying on the sup
port of services to a large extent and
meeting the entertainment demands OF q
large and growing parish. Very many
faithful women and girls contributed to
this end working as they did in harmony
with the men and boys and by this loyal
and constant service have left monu-
ment of love for the broad Gospel of
Universalism.
Thursday, Sept. so, Mr.. Miller ad-
dressed very large gathering of ladies
and presented the foundations of the
new order. His whole plan was unani-
mously adopted and over sixty have so
far subscribed their names as members
of the Ladies' Social Union of the Uni
versalist Church, the name by which the
organization will be known. The offi
