YOUR OWN HIGHWAY
COMMISSION

Farm and Fireside, the national
farm paper published at Springfield,
Ohio. says:
"The dusty season is upon US.
Every pleasant Sunday afternoon
from now until late October, dozens
and possibly hundreds of automobiles
will drive by your place. Perhaps
you will be driving yourself. You
may prefer, however, to sit and rest
on the porch or in the front yard.
But can you do so with any comfort?
Will you sit in clouds of dust, with
your trees, shrubbery. and lawn white
with it? There is an easy and in
expensive way to avoid it. Road oil.
which can now be bought in nearly
every town, costs about 10 cents per
gallon in barrel lots. 1t is put on with
an ordinary sprinkling can. Depend
ing upon the condition of the road q
gallon will oil from two to four square
yards. Figure it out for the strip in
front of your house. Oiling fifty or a
hundred yards may be the making of
lyour Sunday and evening comfort"

GIANTS RECORD
| NEW FOR MAJORS
Providence Holds Honors For
Thirty-Two Years; Minors
Do Better

New York, Sept. 26.-The New York
Nationals double victory over the ST.
Louis club here yesterday enabled the
Giants to lay claim to new major
league record for consecutive games
won in one season. At the compile
tion of the double header the team
had won twentyone straight victor
les. thus displacing the record of the
famous Providence Grays. who won
twenty games in a row in 1884.
During the thirty-two years since
Providence set the twenty game rec
ord the figures have been threatened
several times by big league clubs. but
never equaled or surpassed until yes
terday. In 1906 the Chicago Amer
lean League club won nineteen in a
stretch. The New York Giants ran
eighteen straight in 1904 and seven
teen games earlier in the present sea-
son.
Minor Records
Several minor league clubs have ex-
ceeded these figures, the best records
peing twenty-seven games by the Cor
sicana club of the Texas League in
lso2; twenty-five games by the Char
lotte club of the Carolina League in
the same year. and twenty-four games
by the Jersey City club, of the East
ern League. in 1908.
In winning twenty one games
straight the Giants actually figured in
twenty-five games, because one con-
test ended in a tie and was eliminated
from consideration in computing the
winning streak. In one respect. how
ever, the record does not compare with
that or the Providence club, as Pitcher
Charley Radbourne twirled the Grays
to victory in eighteen out of the TWEEN
ty games won by his club in the 1884
stretch of conquests.

pitched great ball during the New

In fine fashion and had the st. LOUIS
oatters at their mercy. Schupp, Nc
Graw's young left-hander, tied the
providence record by shutting out St
Louis in the first game. During the
winning streak Schupp has pitched two
two-hit games, two three-hit games
and one six-hit game. three of them
being shutouts.

CAPITALISTS C IMPRESSED
 WITH DEPOSITS PYRITES

Little Rock, May 17.-Agricultural Commissioner John H. Page has re- turned from Garland county where he went with a party of capitalists from Oklahoma and Kansas City, who are looking after the development of pyrites deposits in that county. The ore runs 50 per cent and more in sul- phur, making it most desirable pro- duct to be utilized in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. There are also large deposits in Montgomery county, and so far none of it has ever been put on the market. The visitors were most favorably impressed with the possibilities, and it is probable that they will decide to put their money into it's development.
 The only sulphuric acid plant in Arkansas was established here last fall by H. M. Bennett, E. E. New house and their associates in the Ar kansas Fertilizer Company, and it has proven a financial success.

NEVER WAS A TRIAL.
 ON SUCH lNTE REST
Yard Says Hearing of Sir Roger Easement Has Es- tablished Precedent in London Courts.

London, May 16.-For hours this morning a crowd besieged Bow street police station waiting for the resump- tion of the arraignment of Sir Roger Easement on charges of high treason in connection with the Sim Fein re- bellion. The little court room was crowded within a minute after the doors were opened.
 Superintendent Quinn of Scotland Yard, in charge of the police arrange ments, voiced the popular feeling Iabout the hearing when he said:
 "No hearing in Bow street station in many years has been the scene of an examination so. full of dramatic interest as the present one. The tense state of public feeling due to the war has, of course, been factor, but the case in itself has features which put lit far above the level of any criminal hearing in my memory"
 There was some speculation today as to whether Easements lawyers would place him on the stand at this preliminary hearing. It is generally believed this will not be done. Irish Girl First Witness. The first witness of the day was Mary German, typical Irish girl, who was the first witness to identify Easement as one of the men who landed, from the German submarine at Tralee.
 Easement smiled cheerfully as he took his place in the dock Daniel J. Bailey, who is accused jointly with Easement, apparently was more con- posed than he was yesterday. The testimony in the early part of to- days session had to do with events in which the two prisoners are charged with having played a part after their landing at Tralee, whereas the evi- dence given yesterday dealt almost entirely with operations of Easement and Bailey in Germany.
 A touch of humor was added when Marjory German told her story of meeting Easement and two compan- ions as they were leaving the beach. She talked in a brogue so broad that it was necessary to ask her to write the words before they could be under stood This she did smilingly.
 Sergeant Hearne of the Royal Irish Constabulary, who arrested Easement near Tralee, the next witness, told how he found in the old fort a man "the prisoner in the dock-the tall man, Easement"
