The intention Of the Democratic Sen
ate to deprive the Republican Senator'S
elect of their seats is clearly revealed in
a press dispatch from Washington.
Each legislative body is the judge of its
own members and the Democrats will
control the new Senate by majority of
II votes. They, of course, do not need
to increase that majority now, but are
looking ahead to make their majority
secure against further Republican gains.

1t has long been a generally accepted
fact that good roads enhance the value of
adjacent real estate, and specialists of
the Office of Public Roads and Rural
Engineering of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture have established the truth
of this conclusion by economic surveys
in eight counties in each of the years
from 1910 to 1915, inclusive. Thew found
that the selling price of tillable land was
increased from one to three times the
total cost of improvements. The esti-
mates of increase were based for the
most part upon the territory within a
distance of one mile on each side of the
roads improved. The result in one county
was as follows:
In Spotsylvania county, Va, a careful
record was made In 1910 of 35 farms To-
Gated on the road selected for improve
ment. Of the Z farms sold in 1912 the
prices actually paid show increases of
from 81 to 116 per cent over the 1910
valuation. The average value after the
roads were improved was $29 26 per
acre, as compared with $17.31 previous
to the improvement. In 1913 four trans
fers of farm land were on the basis of
$50. II per acre, whereas the properties
were listed IN 1910 at only $13 80 per
acre. 1t appears that the 1,451 acres
sold in 1914 increased in value S2S, 500, or
so per cent, or from $24 46 to S44. 10 per
acre.
Another investigation showed that i'm
prov ement of roads in eight selected
counties in different sections of the
United States resulted in the aggregate,
in total gross annual savings in hauling
costs of S627, 400. The average gross
annual saving in hauling cost due to the
road improvements in these eight coun-
ties was found to be 17.9 cents per ton
mile, while the net saving was found to
be 11.6 cents. While no argument as to
the value of good roads is needed these
official facts are of interest, and should
tend to encourage the work of improv-
ing the HIGHWAYS.

Christmas is to be observed in East
port by community Christmas tree and
organized charity The Eastport Senti-
nel reports that plans are already we'll
developed for having a monster munich
pal Christmas tree, with varied and eX-
tended program of vocal and instrument
tai music, in which the singing of carols
and hymns by massed choirs numbering
very many voices will be big feature.
Ii is the intention also to carry the spirit
of the day into the homes of needy peo-
pie by supplying them all with basket
which will hold materials for splendid
big dinner and "then some.' The in
ception Of the plan was with the minis
tiers of the city. who at recent meeting
organized into an association which in
cludes every pastor in the city. There is
feature of such an observance of
Christmas-that of inspiring a communi-
ty spirit, getting together of the peo-
ple-which is certainly not its least COM
mend able feature. The Sentinel says:
Too much cannot be SAID in favor of
the municipal Christmas tree plan and
the charities associated with it that is
being worked up by a civic committee
headed by Mayor EIdridge. Times and
moods seem to be changing for very
much the better in Eastport, we are
growing into real community. Il sort
of closer neighborhood, in which diff
ferences are being sunk out of sight in
clearer understanding of the many ad-
vantages to be secured from cooperation.
This is as it should be and is one of the
things that is making Eastport pretty
nearly an ideal place in which to live.

Most Common Causes
Of Disease In Poultry

Diphtheria is generally caused by
roosting or sleeping in a draft, or be-
ing confined in a damp place. The
causes of liberated throat and canker
are the same.
Diarrhea in chicG1 s often caused
by sour food, baG yater, damp quar-
ters, filthy coops, exposure to cold or
wet or too much green food. In fowls,
too, 1t Is caused by too much green
food, lack Of sharp grit and errors ia
feeding.
Indigestion Is caused principally by
lack of sharp grit, Overfeeding, un-
wholesome diet, injudicious use Of
grain or debilitated system.
Roup Is the result OF neglect or want
Of attention to miner diseases Of the
air passages, produced by colds.
Filth In great breeder OF disease.
It Is not only necessary that the prem
ises be kept clean, but they must also
every now and then be disinfected
Foul air, especially at night when the
fowls are on the roost, viii do more
mischief than anything else. All
roosts should be on q level when plae-
ed on an incline. The fowls fight TO
gain the topmost perch, and those sue
cessful must the entire night breathe
the contaminated air that Is apt TO
rise up to the ceiling.
Paint skins, half unslaked lime, etc.,
are often carelessly thrown about,
the fowls eat it and sudden deaths
from a mysterious disease" are re-
ported.
Laying hens are often confined to a
fattening diet, which has its result in
q general breakdown, indigestion and
liver troubles.

Formulas For Removal of
Ink Spots and Iron Rust

Grease spots may be removed by the
application Of carbon tetrachloride, &C.
cording to H. f. Zoller, assistant in
chemistry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
Removing grease spots with gasoline
or benzine is both dangerous and
Wasteful. ChlOroform is effective, but
is dangerous Carbon tetrachloride is
used by cleaners because of, it's safety,
cleaning power and the absence Of O
disagreeable Odor The disadvantage is
its expense.
Ink is difficult to remove if it has
been in the garment for some time.
Iron inks may be removed by oXalic,
acetic, citric or dilute hydrochloric
acid. In case of the coal tar inks the
spot must be bleached.
Iron rust can be removed by fairly
strong oxalic acid solution If allowed
to stand on the goods for a short time,
and often when it is exposed to the
sunlight the action is a little quicker.
The excess of oxalic acid must be
washed out and the goods washed with
a good soap in order to neutralize the
acid. Hydrochloric acid is the best re-
mover Of iron rust, if handled by an
experienced person.
An excellent formula for the removal
of fountain pen ink, especially iron ink
and iron rust, is the aceto-oxalic acid
formula. 1t is made by saturating a 10
per cent acetic acid solution with OK
alic acid and mixing one part Of the
product with four parts of alcohol,
