Clearwater county need more and bet
ter roads Most assuredly. No coun-
ty ever has too good roads. and too
many miles of good roads. So far
there is no difference of opinion.
The county board, elected by the
people to serve the people, is charged
with the responsibility of providing
highways both as to constructing new
ones and keeping old ones in repair.
And there is not community in the
county that is not urging the county
board to spend more money in their
neighborhood for roads. The need is
great, and the demand universal. This
is so from the fact that while we can
economic on clothes and some other
things we cannot we'll exist where
public roads are bad. And the poorer
the roads the greater the handicap
under which the people labor.
Roads are the common peoples out
let to Market. over them the farmer
must market his crops, gets his sup
plies, and communicate with his
neighbors. Roads are vital to the
existence of community. We can
not we'll exist without them. And the
better the roads the more they add to
the pleasures of life, and the cheaper
can the farmer market his crops.
Even though we use road but little,
we all suffer when compelled to travel
bad highways. 1t is pleasure to
travel good highways.
Admitting the necessity of good
roads, how are the people to have
them? How is the present county
board to provide roads? Let us get
down to facts? Let us place ourselves
in the position of commissioner,
bound to proceed according to law,
and see how we would proceed.

This man cannot be law unto him.
self. He must follow the law. Now
suppose the county board take his adj
vice, and proceed to create this
sinking fund so we can build roads on
a cash basis, avoiding interest.
At the end Of each year the law pro-
vides that the cash in all funds revert
automatically to the warrant redemp-
tion fund Where, then, is your
$40, 900? In other words, the law
will not permit the creation of a
sinking fund with which to some day

CONFERENCE REGARDING
STATUS OF DR. DINUs

w y S II NC T . y. September 20
President Wilson and Acting Secretary
Polk, OF the State Department. held a
long conference at the White House to-
night regarding tho status OF Dy Con-
S;anun Dumbn, the -Austro-Uungarian
ambassador, whose recall has been re-
Guested; the Mexican problem and other
international questions.
The state Department has not yet
received word from Vienna as to what
action will be taken regarding DR..
Dumba. though il has been learned
unoiiicially that the ambassador plans
TO leave the United States on Septem-
ber 2S.
Investigation at the State Depart
ment OF DR.. Dumba's claim that he was
not permitted TO send his government
his explanation OF the acts which led
TO the request for his recall showed
that he had submitted message. por-
tion at least of which was not sent In
his letter TO Secretary Lansing. Dr.
Dumba said that his message was
rejected by your censor" Il was ex-
planned tonight that the dispatch was
passed on AT the State Department.
That part of the message was not sent,
Il was said, because il was practically
the same as the message sent by DR..
Dumha to the Vienna Minister OF For
eisn Affairs, and which led 10 the -e-
quest for his recall.

COPY OF MEMORANDUM
II also was disclosed tonight that a
copy of a memorandum relating the
plans for calling out men employed In
munitions plants at Bethlehem. Pa, and
in the Middle West which was for
warded to Secretary Lansing by Dr.
Dumba was not signed. In sending
the original to his Foreign Minister,
DR.. Dumba indicated that the memo
randum had been prepared by The
editor of Hungarian newspaper FOR
Alexander Nubcr Won Pereked. the
Austro Hungarian consul general in
New York Whether the original was
signed will not be known definitely
until the State Department receives the
Photographic copy forwarded from
London by Ambassador Page. The
point is expected TO have an important
bearing on whether action will be taken
against the editor
Ohlcials here do not care TO question
James +. j. Archibald. who carried Or
Dumba's messages and who arrived in
New York to-day. until the photo
graphic copies OF the documents he car
ried are received from London. When
these copies are examined at the State

of soil. This buries the flies at such
a depth they cannot reach the sur
face.
With cultivation at proper intervals
the land would be put in excellent
condition for seeding, and kept free
from weeds and volunteer wheat.
Then, by observing the hy-free date
for sowing, which in the eastern third
ranges from about October l in the
northern counties to October IA in
the south, and in the central third
from about September % in the north
to October IL in the south, the fly
will be effectively circumvented. 1t
is mistaken notion that burning the
wheat stubb1e will eradicate the fly,
and this is a practice that should be
crowned upon generally The land
needs the humus that the stubble will
supply and the stubb1e should be
turned under.
This is not a harangue at the farm
er. The writer is fully aware of the
fact, having been born and raised on
the farm. that it is frequently impos-
sib1e for the farmer to do as he would
like or as he knows best, considering
the scope of his enterprise. 1t is often
out of the question for the farmer to
follow the methods which even his
own experience has demonstrated to
be advisable, because of lack of equip
ment. time or labor. But it may be
worth while to consider if it might
not be more profitable to undertake
less and do it better. Think it over.

Raise Infertile Eggs

1t is conservatively estimated that
there is an annual loss in eggs in this
country of $45, 100000. Practically all
of this enormous loss is sustained by
the farmers of this country, as it is on
the general farms that the great bulk
of eggs is produced. A very great
part of this loss can be prevented by
the production of infertile eggs, which
are laid by hens that do not have a
male bird with them. The male bird
has no influence whatever on the num-
Der of eggs laid. Therefore, as soon
as the Matching season is over the
male should be removed from the
flock.
The greatest trouble from blood
rings in eggs occurs in hot weather.
Special care should be given to the
ing the late spring and summer
months. All these times the eggs
should be gathered at least twice a
day, placed in a room or cellar where
the temperature does not rise above
70o F., and marketed two or three
times a week
Blood rings are caused by the de-
velopment of the embryo of fertile
egg and its subsequent death. 1t is
impossible to hatch an infertile egg
or cause blood ring to form in one.
1t is generally considered that eggs
become inferti1e from seven to four
teen days after the male bird is re-
moved from the flock. Repeated ex-
periments have shown that where fer
tile and infertile eggs are kept under
similar conditions, the fertile eggs
spoil much quicker, due to the fact
that they deteriorate faster than in
fertile eggs in the average summer
temperature Summer heat has the
same effect as the hen or incubator on
fertile eggs. Sell, kill or confine the
male bird as soon as the Matching sea-
son is over.

cause the patriotic breasts of those
present to throb responsive to its
tune Another account says that when
the first publication appeared in the
Baltimore American" it was an
nounced that it should be sung to the
tune of ITO Anacreon in Heaven"
There seems to be quite a difference
of opinion as to the origin of the
adoption of this tune to the words of
The. Star-Spangled Banner. yet it
has been claimed by Chief Justice
fancy, Keys brother-in-1aw, and
number of other historians, that we
owe the tune to Ferdinand Durang,
while another very eminent musical
historian simply credits him with the
dignity of being the first to sing the
song and very emphatica1ly states that
to no one but the author himself be-
longs this honor.
1t seems rather strange that the tune
of our grand old national hymn and
ton in England between 1870 and
Tvs, about the time that liberty had
its birth in America. John STAFFORD
Smith, who was member of an aris-
tocratic society in London, called the
"Anacreonites,' a wild bacchanalian
Grown and Anchor" in the Strand,
is said to have composed the song.
But unfortunately we find many state
ments that will not bear the test of
investigation and the customary doubt
as to who the composer may have
BEEN However the melody of this
old English drinking-song entitled
ITO Anacreon in Heaven" is insep-
arab1y associated with THE Star
Spangled Banner" and will be until
some American composer has given
us a more practicable tune.
There is no other song that will stir
ones patriotic blood with more vigor
in any great national emergency than
this anthem of the flag. We have
grand example of how its majestic
strains inspired the soldiers on that
memorable Friday, the 1st of July
1893, on the ramparts of Santiago,
when man after man had fallen in
blood and death, and at that critical
moment as the soldiers caught fresh
CLEAN of their flag spontaneously be-
gan to sing "The Star-Spang1ed Ban
ner." The soul-stirring strains so
thrilled the men that they seemed
nerved by some superhuman power
to boldly resist the storm of battle
and to win the victory that sealed the
fate of Santiago.

1t is a well-recognized fact, though
sites for orchards, that cold air settles
to the lower levels. For this reason
it is often colder at the lower eleva-
tons than it is at higher points in the
same locality. This is what is meant
by atmospheric drainage" The oc-
currence of frost in low places when
there is none on elevated areas is thus
explained. For the same reason
peach buds are often winter killed or
the blossoms are injured by frost in
the spring in low places when near
by orchards on higher elevations are
injured much less, or even escape en-
tirely.

AS rule. it is doubtless safe to
assume that site having a moderate
slope in some direction is to be pre-
ferred for orchard purposes, other
things being equal, to one that is level.
One having a slope will usually have
better soil and atmospheric drainage
than a level area.
