MATERIALS FOR FARM ROADS
Should Be Located With Reference to
Efficiency Of Farm Plant
Good Drainage Needed.

The private roads on the farm differ
In general from the public roads only
in the amount and kind of traffic which
they carry. The fundamental princt-
pies involved in their construction and
maintenance are the same. But, as
the farm road is called on to bear far
less traffic, the ordinary methods Of
construction and maintenance are SO
modified and the use of materials SO
adapted as to meet the special re-
quirements and reduce the cost. To
build the farm roads in the same man.

STARTING WITH LIVE STOCK
Gradinq-Up Method Recommended as
Best Beainnlng-Use Best Pure
Bred Sire Obtainable. -

The average farmer starting into
the live stock business is not in shape
financially to purchase purebred stock
and conduct the business the way 1t
should be. Purebred breeders should
not try to set men up in the breeding
business who have but very little
money and, practically no experience.
An amateur, starting under such con.
ditions, is almost sure to fail and in.
stead of being a booster for better live
stock, curses the breed that lost him
money and the purebred breeders in
general
Those without considerable expert
ence and some capital, wishing to start
in the live stock business, will find
the grading-up method the best in
use.
Grading up herd by the use Of a
purebred sire is the safest beginning,

REPAIR BAD SPOTS IN ROADS
Mudhoies Should Be First Drained and
Soft Dirt Removed--Don't Be
Afraid Of Dragging.

Don't try to f1ll q mudhole without
first draining out the water and re-
moving the soft mud. Don't try to fill
1t with large stones, because IL this is
done there will soon be two mudholes
Instead Of one. Don't try to I'LL q
mudhole with sods or similar material
which absorb water readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts are
best treated with the drag. Don't be
afraid OF dragging too often during
0 rainy spell. If thin coat OF sand
or gravel be spread over the road sur
face when 1t has been softened by
rain and then worked In by traffic
and liberal use of the drag, a poor
earth road can be much improved and
made to carry a surprisingly heavy
traffic for short time.

which was renewed when Mr.. Barnett
made an announcement in connection
with the fund for the Auditorium pipe
organ, and when Mr.. Newcomb an
nounced his subscription of $3.50 to
the organ fund.
The Mayor said in part:
"Gentlemen-As we look down the
highway of the past we find that men
have been measured by what they
have done-not by what they have
gathered. History forgets what men
possessed, or the luxury in which they
lived.
"A man who does not reflect more
sunshine than gloom is failure in
life. We must all do something to
help others if we want to be remem-
bered longer than it requires sod to
grow on our graves. Many people by
death produce more secret joy than
true sorrow; if a person is dependent
death brings a sense of relief even to
friends; if independent the estate
often receives more attention than
the memory of the departed.
II have stood before the graves of
many wealthy men in our cities of
the dead, and asked myself the ques-
ton, Is life a success which is en-
tirely spent in a struggle for gold,
and ends in a forgotten andsneglected
marble slab? Must the name of n
leader iii wealth or business be cut
in marble to be remembered even by
his associates in daily life? Those wko
come after us care nothing for names
it is only good deeds and. kind acts
which live and are remembered.
Make City Attractive
"One of the most neglected ways in
which people can make themselves
bigger and better is by helping to
make the city in which they live more
attractive.
Ugly things do not please. 1t is so
much easier to love thing of beauty
and this applies to cities as we'll as
to persons and things. Fountains,
statues, artistic lights, music, play
grounds, parks, ETC., make people love
the place in which they live. Every
time private citizen, by gift or other
wise, adds to q city's beauty. he
kindles the spirit of pride in other
citizens. One man truly proud of his
city is worth hundred well-meaning
but Indifferent persons.
1T is so in all cities, yet am glad
that this condition prevails for it gives
men who have been successful in life
the opportunity they need to give.
Most men are so busy chasing the
dollar that they neglect golden op-
potunities for happiness. Too much
wealth is as much a curse to COM
munity as too much poverty. 1t takes
a bigger man to rightly give away a
fortune than 1t does to make it.
The struggles and battles of life
have q tendency to make men thought
less and indifferent of others-one
financial success only makes them
more anxious for another. Occasion
ally some jar in life throws a man for
a time out of his accustomed channel
and when he wipes away few tears
from others, binds up a few wounds,
his heart muscles relax. the pulsations
become natural and he wants to plant
something that will blossom and bear
wholesome fruit for those who are to
come after him.

needs where public-spirited citizens

Pittsburgh, Dec. 1S.-A decision by
the Public Service Commission against
Peter Greco, jitney bus owner, of Tar
entum, has broken the seventeen
months strike of Allegheny Valley
street car men. By refusing to grant
Greco a certificate of public conven-
fence the Public Service Commission
took away the principal weapon of
the street car men. When the strike
was inaugurated the men started q
jitney service, in this way prolonging
the strike.
The railway company filed a protest
against Grecos operation of a jitney
bus, and when the commission ruled
that a Jitney is common carrier and
can be operated only upon receipt of
a certificate of public convenience.
then refused to grant Greco GER
tificate, the street car mems union de-
clared the strike off.
