Ira B. CrandaII said that permanency in the building of the Watch Hill road should be considered While that kind of a road cost more, it would be an economical move. He favored building the best road, if not so much, a road that would stand the ravages of time and automobiles. Samuel H. Davis was disappointed that no definite plan had been submitted by the commit tee. He had learned that there was but very little difference in the cost of cement and Topeka mixture roads. He favored the appropriation.
 Rev. Joseph l.. Peacock expressed confidence in the council and the con- mittee. If the sum of S65,000 is not required for the work the balance will be turned back into the treasury; if more is needed, more should be given. There is need for the best possible road to Watch Hill and as a taxpayer, he was willing to leave the whole mat ter with the council.

Thomas H. Peabody stated that any action of the meeting would not be binding on the town council, as all matters pertaining to highway inn provement was vested in the council and any money appropriated for work carried with it, under the law, that the work be done by contract and not by the town proper. Under the reso- lution almost anything can be done, but before anything can be done the town council must take the requisite steps as defined by law, with special reference to public hearings under cer- tain conditions. It Is a compliment for the town council to invite taxpay- CTS to consider road matters, but the town council can ignore the action of a town meeting.
 Treasurer James M. PendIeton stated that the amendment to the resolution for the appropriation, which provided that the work be done by contract was to the satisfaction of the roa d committee and the council. It would be well to adopt the resolution that carried with it the appropriation, which would be vote of confidence in the committee and the council that the Watch Hill road would be built and the best interests of the town con- served.

 Milo Clarke said the taxpayers would like to know just how this money is to be raised. Treasurer Pen dleton replied that no money would probably be expended before April l and perhaps now before May l. The final year ends May 1, and no money will be taken from the treasury for the purpose the present fiscal year. There will be some surplus on account of the increased tax valuations. The following May will be a new fiscal year, with new tax, and new appropri- ations, which will cover two years of assessments, the budget being prac- tically the same, and it will be pos sibIe to keep within the debt limit, and times notes and funded bonds is sued.

Councilman Has~e!I stated that the committee had two propositions under consideration, a Topeka mixture con- crete and q cement read. He did not think it advisable to quote the prices in open meeting and the probability was that the road would be one of these methods of construction. He did not think the freemen desired to handi- cap the committee. Charles H. Gran dall said he would like to have the committee inspect the piece of road in front of the Samuel Hoxie place. as it might serve as a guide for decision

Of all peace societies, lectured in the

Mr.. Lochmer Is graduate Of the
University Of Wisconsin. and has
travelled extensively in Europe. He
has interviewed many distinguished
European and American statesman and
the majority agree that the present war
is the result Of military agitations
which have been gong on in Europe
for generation. The American Peace
Society has a constructive program.
and labors to the end that peace. justice
and good will should determine the
relations between nations. as these
principals control the actions Of COM
munities. Mr.. Lochner pointed out
that nations live in fear Of each other,
while communities live by faith in each
other. As individuals now settle their
difficulties in courts, so the nations
should be educated TO do the same. He
said that the nation that sleeps on its
guns will rs surely get into trouble as

GOOD ROADS fever.

Good roads enthusiasm is spread
ing throughout the state. Fiscal courts
generally are voting an appropriation
In order 10 avail themselves of the
state aid fund. Even Rowan county,
where land is listed lower. we believe.
than any county in the state, has voted
to expend Sl2.00 upon it roads. which
with the amount to be received from
the state fund. will make creditable
road fund for a county likd Rowan.
The land In that county, generally,
is not as productive as in most coun-
ties. but with better roads will come
the improvement of the land and an
enhancement of its value.
A county like Garrard, with the
richest and most fertile soil to be
found anywhere. would be immeasura-
bly, advanced by the improvement Of
her highways. What she needs is
permanently improved roads leading
from every direction to trading ceL-
tiers and shipping points. At a time
when market prices are the highest
the roads are generally impossible.
and our farmers are unable to take
advantage Of opportunities. We have
one Of the most efficient and conscien-
tious County Judges in the State in
Judge Clayton Arnold and we know
that with him behind the aid we expect
to get from the State our roads will be
second TO none.

PRACTICAL STORAGE HOUSE FOR APPLES
Floor and Foundation OF Storage Plant.

The storage of fruit on the farm
Is a problem which confronts many
growers. The delay in getting fruit
Into storage after picking Is the cause
of much loss through rapid deteriora-
ton. The experiment station at Ur-
bana, ILL.,, undertook work along this
line some time ago, and one of the
experiments conducted on the farm of
L. R. Bryant, near Princeton, has
proved successful in every way.
This storage room is in the north
end of the basement of a barn, hav-
ing inside dimensions of z feet high.
Is feet inches wide, and "a feet 4
inches long. The ice chamber Is at
the east end and occupies an addi-
tional width of feet inches. The
floor foundation is made of six inches
of gravel and cinders, on which is
laid 2x4 inch scantling, layer of tar
paper, matched flooring, a layer OF
building paper, Turing strips, another

five had struck its warning bell; if she
were going to be married again, why
not now? Wasn't Hall Bonistelle
handsome? Wasn't he well born and
bred? Rena had thought him over
and decided to accept him. She en-

amiable state Of mind, lofty and some

here?" and to Rosamund the quick.

see you again so soon, my dear!" she
said
Rosamund, meanwhile, was staring
at the prototype of the portrait which
had started the discussion Of Halls
intimacies. Carolyn, noticing, intro
duced her. Rosamund, however, did
not interest Rena Royalton so much
as did Carolyn herself.
Where is Mr.. Bonistelle?" she
asked.
"Oh, he's out-as usual" said Caro-

Construction of Walls.

2x16 joists Is inches apart Upon the
top of these tin Is nailed. slanting
down three inches on each side. Be-
low these tins another shallow v
shaped tin forms a gutter, which runs
the water to the side of the chamber
where a drain carries it off. The ice
rests on 2x2 Stats nailed In 2x4 up
rights.
The ice chamber holds six tons,
and requires replenishing from four
to six times in the fall More ice is
needed again in the spring, though
not so much as in the fall.
Apples are placed in storage as
soon as ripe, the outside temperature
at this tine being around 70 degrees.
The temperature in the storage may
run from SO to IS degrees at this time
due to the high temperature outside
and to the frequent opening of the
door and temperature of the apples
when picked. Later when the cool
fall weather comes the temperature
will register around 35 degrees. When
the temperature outside falls below
that In the storage the windows are
opened. Should the temperature fall
much below zero for any length of
time in the winter, stove is used
to keep the storage at a reasonable
temperature.
For the season ice is needed, 20
tons is about the average required
for the room described.

PUREBRED SHEEP
BEST FOR MUTTON
Animals of Medium Grade Lack
Condition and Quality Neces-
sary for Best Prices.

Why are purebred sheep the best
for mutton? Because both lambs and
sheep of the medium grades lack the
condition and quality necessary to
bring the best prices on the market.
Medium grade sheep as a rule have
long, loosely coupled bodies with little
spring of rib and rough outline and
coarse and often paunchy. Animals Of
this class are not desirable and mar
ket buyers make the most of their bad
points.
A good thing to remember when
lambing time comes on. A lamb that
Is so badly chilled it appears to be
dead may be revived by pouring down
its throat half a pint of warm milk
into which a tablespoonful of gin has
been poured.
If there is no gin in the house dip
the lamb in a tubful of warm water,
dry 1t Off with a rough cloth and place
1t near the stove. Get some warm
milk into its stomach if possible and
in few minutes it will be as frisky
as ever.

good-by."
Mrs. Royalton and Rosamund still
sat as if entranced, but Carolyn Dallys
rose impatiently now, and glanced
about, as If IN search of an excuse. The
room was tensely charged with cleo
tricity. 1t was evident that in another
minute the explosion must come. But,
first, how to get rid of this important.
busy little Miss Fisher?
Flodie herself answered the un-
voiced question. Wasn't she as desir-
GUS as any Of them to bring the thing
to head? Yes; so she must fly and
leave the field of battle clear Still
smiling, she disappeared into the
stockroom. She left the door ajar.
Mrs. Royalton rose, with self-con-
scious smile. We'll, Carolyn" she said.
Il suppose I'll have to tell you, now.
1t Is most unfortunate that Miss Fisher
wasn't more discreet in her converse
ton. But so long as she has let the
cat out of the bag, l might as well in
form you that the ring she was talk
ing to Hall about is for this inger!"
She held up her left hand, her thumb
pointing to her third finger.
Carolyn, with a whoop, fell into
Rosamund's arms, and the two laughed
until they cried.
Mrs. Royalton stared as If they had
suddenly gone mad. Then she ex-
claimed angrily, I'D like to know what
there is to laugh at l don't see any
thing particularly amusing in the fact
that I'm going to marry Hall Boni-
stellei"
"Oh, don't you?" Carolyn gurgled

ooh, the more the merrier!" cried
Carolyn.
Rena Royalton drew herself up
proudly. 81 think you're exceedingly

Carolyn dried her eyes on a lace
handkerchief "Rena," she said, still
giggling, 81 don't know whether it's too
true to be funny, or too funny to be
true. But you ought to be in on this

Say, Miss Gale" Carolyn turned

really to form a society of the sur
vivors, you know. Rena's the oldest,
and we'll elect her PRESIDENT"
Mrs. Royalton stared from one to
the other, her temper rising. Finally
she remarked cuttingly, 81 must say,

Rosamund fiinched, but recovered to
sneer, We'll, then, what answer did
you give him, I'd like to know!"
Carolyn was, for a moment, non
plused. "Oh," she replied, finally, 81
didn't want to throw him down too
hard, you know. / said I'd let him
know later, so that / could break it
to him gently"
Exactly. So did Il" Rosamund,
triumphant, scrambled upon Carolyn's
lifeboat. But I don't intend to break
1t to him very gently. after this!"
mo" Carolyn reflected grimly.
1--WE ought to make it just little hard
for him, don't you think? We might
even torture him bit-if possible.
The question is, how to do it." She
contemplated Rosamund, musing on
revenge.
Il don't understand it at ALL" Rosa
mund complained. why in the world
should man act like that?"
My dear Miss Gale, l don't know.
But | do know that it's just like men.
You never can tell what they'll do.
You think you know them-you think
you're perfectly safe-years go by and
they seem perfectly human and ra-
tional-and then-piff! They explode.
No woman yet has ever solved the
mystery"
Rosamund's suavity was perfect as
she looked Carolyn over pragmatical-
ly. Funny you let Hall Bonistelle go
so far with you, wasn't it! Say, he
must have shocked you awfully!"
Now, see here!" said Carolyn firm
ly, putting her hand on Rosamund's
arm. There's no use in our bicker-
ing like this. Don't you realize that
we're in the same boat? Now, you
say you don't want to marry Hall. I'd
like to be sure, though, before l GO
any further"
"Oh, you needn't worry" cried Rosa
mund, you can have him, SO far as
I'm concerned"
Carolyn couldn't keep from smiling
now; Rosamrnd was too much for her
ooh, thanh you very much; but l have
other plans for him. And we ought to
try to find out what in the world he's
up to-"
do you suppose it could possibly
be joker" Rosamund asked anx-
iously.
1T looks to me-" said Carolyn, re-
flecting, las if somebody had slipped
a powder or something into his coffee
Or it may be disease. Incipient in
sanity, perhaps. No doubt he's going
about proposing to everyone today,
and"
Carolyn paused. The door was open
ing. Mrs Royalton entered.
