poING OUR BEST.

that we are not doing out best in

but also in our relations with others.
Selfanalysis is. perhaps, the. best
way by which, to discover whether
we are true. to our best Instincts Ut
whether we are just carelessly indif-
ferent as to results. BY criticizing
our: thoughts and actions and powers
of accomplishment: we are able to
place the full blame where. it belongs,
and at: the same time to discover
many more or less surprising, If not
unpleasant, things about ourselves
1t was Ruskin who said that however
dull we may be-. we -can find out what
some 4 them are. OF course, it is in
conceivable that anyone should be-
lieve himself wholly perfect; no mat
ter how good an opinion we.may have
of ourselves we must know that we
are human, and that many OF our sup
posed virtues are in reality faults in.
the sight of others We take too
much for granted in our. ordinary con
duct and intercourse. with others, and
very often look only upon our own
side of questions which concern. 9th
ers, as well as ourselves, says Charles
ton News and Courier. Such view in
clines to selfishness~ and lack of CON
sideration for the very principles
which we are supposed to. respect
and tempts us TO commit errors of
various Kinds. We are obliged. natar-
ally. to regard our own interests as
vitality important to our material well
fare; but, on the other hand, it is
not necessary that we should place
them above every: other consideration
in life.

SIKH BOY WHO WON FAME
Queen Victoria Gave Silver csp to
Ram Singh, an Indian
Artist

The story of Sirdar Bahadar Ram
Singh, whose death occurred recently, is
that of Sikh boy, born in humble cir
cumstances, who rose to honor and
distinction by his own merit and en-
deavOr and who remained, in spite of
that distinction, unspoiled, a kind
hearted, modest, genuine man to the
end, IL. j." writes in the Indiaman.
Ra'N Singh. as a lad, attracted the
attention of Lockwood Kipling, father
of Rudyard Kipling, and under the
auspices of the famous AnglO-Indian
artist the young son of Punjabi cul-
dyatOr became almost equally widely
known as a designer. Later he sue
ceeded to Mr.. F:Hling's post as prin-
cipal of the Mayo ScIr,Ol of Art at La
hore.
In 1891 Ram Singh was ordered to
proceed to England to design and
supervise the decorations of the Dur
bar hall at Osborne house. The new
room was to be i'm T'dian style, and
the work was executed with remark
able beauty and effect The queen took
great personal interest in the work
during its progress, and much adm fred

have obtained many commissions in
England after that but he was sin

Of Military Ace.

The number of men of military age
in Notwithstanding citizens and
men who have declared their intention
of becoming citizens-is said to be not
far from 21,000,000. This estimate is
based on the assumption that there
has been an increase of approximately
10 per cent in the population of the
country since 1910. When that census
was taken the total number of male
citizens and prospective citizens eigh-
teen years of age and over but under
forty-six was 19.1S3.OOO. OF this num-
Der 142240O0 were native whites.
2,S57, 900 were fOreign-bOrn citizens
who had become naturalized or had de-
clared their intention of doing so,
2,052,000 were negroes, and $4,000 were
Indians. Men of military age in Ten
nessee, at the last census numbered
434, 641.

METHOD OF PATCHING HOLES
Gravel Is Mixed With Heavy Road Oil,
Which Acts as Binder-Use a
Concrete Mixer.

The modern scheme of protecting
road surfaces with sprayed oil has de-
veioped new method of patching
holes. Gravel is mixed with q heavy
road oil, which acts as binder. This
is prepared in advance and earted to
the place where the patching is to be
done. Less gravel is needed than when
IT is used dry, because the hole need
be filed only level and tamped. while
with the ordinary method the patching
gravel must be heaped above the nor
NAL surface Of the road. Where patch
ing on large scale is to be done. a

ROADS
GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY
Well-Graded and Drained Earth Road,
When Dragged Regularly, Is
Quite Satisfactory.

Two very striking facts present
themselves to those who have noticed
our country roads this season. The
first fact is that proper drainage is
vitality necessary in order to have a
permanently good road. The second
fact is that a well-graded and drained
earth road, when dragged regularly,
will give us a passable and fairly good
road even under abnormal weather
conditions. Some of the best roads we
have passed over this season have
been simply dirt roads receiving log
drag treatment. Some of thewOrst roads
we have gone over this season have
been extensively made graveled roads
which have been bad simply because
of lack of drainage. The fundamental
principle of road building, after all is
said and done, is to so grade cur voads
and provide drainage that tie water
can get away.
Sentiment in the middle West
seems to be gradually settling down to
the opinion that good roads are a ne
cessity and not a luxury. Building
iOeuo lOI dutOluODlle OW4eTS now
means building roads for farmers and
not for city people alone. The farm
tractor and the farm truck of the fu-
ture will further emphasize the i'm
portance of good country roads. The
only thing that must be insisted on is
that roads must be made of the best
materials at hand, and the work must
be done under the supervision of those
who understand road-making. This
supervision naturally adds to the cost.
Another thing that must be understood
is that maintenance of the road year
after year, prompt attention being paid
to repairs, is just as necessary as the
first construction.
We predict that good-road building |
will continue to be one of the most |
popular subjects for discussion for the |
next few years. The proposed federal
aid for road building, providing $751;
100000 to be spent during the next
five years when a similar sum is raised
by the local community, means that
national system of roads is to become
