for any particular project, where funds
have been or where existing balances
are to be expended.
3. Lack of any systematic prac-
tice in handling road funds among
most counties makes it very difficult
to carry out over even a single year
any persistent maintenance policy, be-
cause funds officially obligated for
maintenance purposes are not pro
tected against sporadic and irregular
drafts for miscellaneous purposes.
The greatest likelihood consequently
exists everywhere that there will be
no balance in the maintenance fund in
the last half or third of the year, al
though only part Of the fund al
lotted may have been spent.
4. Local labor available for main
tenance work is made dissatisfied by
the constant, unintelligent, and UNI
favorable criticism of those using the
road.
8. Maintenance continuing over a
period Of years-the ultimate indis-
pensable condition of effective main
tenance-is jeopardized by the lack Of
accounting control that will prevent
spending next years current income
In this year.
s. The lack OF skilled supervision
in construction and the effect Of this
in increasing the cost or in making
effective maintenance impOssibly ex-
pensive is everywhere seen.
z. The county authorities are COM
monty opposed to following sugges-
tions for maintenance that involve ty-
ing up road funds in any way, such
as purchasing materials in advance to
store along the road for making re-
pairs or maintaining the road surface.

4 NEW IDEA IN STRIKES.
New York World.D

New York World)
The Toledo street car strike which
has just been settled is characterized
by the mayor of Toledo as the most
remarkable in tie history of traction
torubles, in that there were no dis
turbances" The strike involved a
thirteen days tie-up of traffic, and
vas brought to an end through a
series of conferences between the
men and their employers.
There has long been a theory that
strikes could be settled i'm just this
manner, and here at last the hope has
been realized. All precedents favored
obstinate determination on both sides,
eventual recourse to violence and an
appeal to the police and possibly the
militia. Instead, the two parties to
the quarrel conferred, made mutual
concessions, and finally got close
enough together to adjust their diff
ferences without assaulting anybody
or dynamiting a car.
True, labor apparently gets the
lions share of the concessions and the
public stands to lose, in the pros
pective abolition of the Scent fare.
But the gain is in the settlement of 4
dangerous labor dispute without dis
order and by the methods of concil-
iation available in all industrial dis
a agreements. We have had the Iowa
idea" and the wisconsin idea" in
politics, and the philadelphia plan"
in railroad finance Why not the To.
lcdo plan in labor quarrels.

GOOD MANAGEMENT OF ROADS
Road Specialists Of Department Of Az
riculture Place Blame for De-
feets In Highways.

When a county builds a good road
and soon let's 1t become rutty, washed
out, or uneven, who or what is prin-
cipally to blame? AS a result of
study OF conditions in a number of
counties, road specialists OF the de-
partment are inclined to place the re-
sponsibility upon the following de-
fects in road management, some or all
of which are found in all counties
where good roads are not properly re-
paired and maintained:
1. County boards, although having
full administrative authority, appear
not to attach to their official action in
road matters the importance or legal
effect which It should have.
2. County boards do not generally
have sufficient accounting control OF
road funds to know what is available

WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highways az a Roller on Plowed
Fleld-Wagon Pulls Easier.

The following appeared in a recent
issue OF Extension News Service"
published by the University OF Ne
braska.
Wide tires build up roads and save
horse labor, according to the depart
ment Of agricultural engineering at
the university farm. They have the
same effect upon a country road as a
roller on a plowed field. On the other
hand, the narrow tire cuts up road
like a disk. II has been found by
actual test in this department that
the wide-tired wagon pulls easier in
nearly all cases than the narrow-tired
wagon. In deep mud on a country
road the wide-tired wagon pulls So per
cent easier. On the country road
with a thin surface OF mud or deep
dust, however. the narrow tires pull
40 per cent easier. In a cornfield
the wide tires pull 3O.5 per cent easier.
in a dry alfalfa field 1T per cent
easier. and on a dry country road 1912

MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.
philadelphia Ledger.)

The Commissioner of Pensions in
forms me personally that there are
still living 563 men who fought in the
old war with Mexico.
1t is seventy years since the war
began, and it will be sixty-eight years
on July since it was officially ended.
There were 100000 United States
troops in that two-year conflict, Of
whom 81 1000 were regulars and the
others were militia and volunteers.
These figures are an index of the
price our country would pay today
we're it to attempt complete subju'
cation of Mexico. That republics
population is now three times as great
as 1t was seventy years ago, when it
required 10000 American soldiers
two years to make the conquest.
Military men of high rank have told
me recently that we would now need
an army of 100000 men. of whom

War widows have way Of surviving
their husbands many years. Thus,
while there are sos soldiers living
who actually fought under Scott or
Taylor seventy years ago. there are
1929 widows who are receiving pen
sions on account Of their husbands
service during the Mexican war.
The last widow of a soldier of the
Revolution died not many years ago;
but the last soldier of that war ex-
pired in 1869.
II seems highly probabl that at the
bioentennial Of our national independ-
enoe in l976-sixty years hence-there
will be widows of the Civil war sol
diers drawing pensions from the gov

MORE STRENGTH FOR FEEBLE
OLD PEOPLE.

If all the old people in Maysville
realized what Vinol will do for them
we would not be able to get enough
of it to supply the demand. We quote
from a recent letter received from
Mrs. A. T.. Carson Of Kingstown, N. Y.
She says am 60 years Of age
and had been aillng for a long time
with Indigestion got rundown, was
weak, dizzy and could not sleep at
night. consulted two doctors who
said | had hardening of the arteries
and at my age could not expect to be
strong again. My daughter would
give me no peace until | tried Vinol, as
it had done so much for her. have
taken five bottles and my health and
strength have come back, so am able
to do all the homework for my family
of four, and am recommending who'll
to all my friends"
The reason Vinol is so beneficial tel
old people is because it contains the
very elements needed to replace de-
clining strength with renewed vigor,
viz: the medicinal elements of fresh
cod livers without oil, peptonate of
iron, beef peptone, and a mild tonic
wine.

RAW MATERIALS FOR AUTOMO.
MOBILE BUILDING REACH
RECORD HIGH PRICE.

Never before in the history Of au-
tomobile building have raw materials
reached such high prices. #. Il. Watts
chief engineer for the Hupp Motor
Car Corporation, has just completed a
very thorough investigation of the raw
material market.
The following article by Mr.. Watts
shows one phase of his investigation !:
From present indications there is
not much hope for a reduction in
prices Of iron and steel products for
some time to come. My reasons foi
thinking this are as follows:
AT the present time the steel COM
panies are contracting for the third
and fourth quarters of this year at the
present market prices which are high.
In order to protect themselves on the
raw material, the steel companies are
now contracting for their pigiron,
coke, steel scrap and alleging ele-
ments, the prices Of which are ex-
tremely high.
Practically all of the Ferro man
ganese used in the manufacture of
steel is imported from England The
latest quotation made on this product
was s225 per ton in comparison with
$40 a ton before the war started Last
week the British government declared
an embargo on the expectation of
Ferro manganese, and it will have to
be obtained from some source as yet

HUGHES.

II it turns out, after the Republican
convention at Chicago next June, that
Justice Hughes has secured the Re-
publican nomination, the public will
know that II has come about through
the action of certain powerful leaders
of the Republican party. Further, the
public will assume that these power
full and intelligent men, responsible
for the future of their party, have not
named a pig in a pike-that these
leaders have satisfied themselves as to
how Justice Hughes stands on pre-
paredness, on international relations,
on Mexico, on the tariff, and on all the
other issues likely to be discussed in
the campaign, and TO be vital to the
country during the coming four years.
There are only two ways for Justice
Hughes TO make known his views on
these questions. One is TO do II
through a public statement; the other
through private communications TO
those who will control the coming Re-
publican convention. II Justice
Hughes should fail TO choose the first
Of these two methods, II will be a
negation Of all that the public has
hitherto believed about him.

PASSOVER.

The Jewish feast of Passover falls
on the 18th day at Nissan, correspond
ing this year with Tuesday, April
18th. The celebration begins on the
evening of April 18th with shutdown
The manner of its observance was de-
tcrmined largely by the Biblical ordi-
nances concerning this feast. 1t is to
be observed for a period of seven
days. Those who cherish customs
that originated after Bible times will
keep the feast eight days.
The ceremonies are such as are
calculated to bring home the histori-
cal event which the feast commemor-
ates, namely, the new born freedom
youchsafed to Israel after the long
period of oppression endured under
Egyptian tyranny The eating of UNI
leavened bread is enjoined a number
.of times in the Biblical regulations
touching the observance of the Pass
over feast. Unleavened bread is char
.acterized as the bread of affliction,"
and is also referred to in the Bible as
the bread that was unleavened be-
cause of the enforced hasty departure
from Egypt. In post-Biblical times
the earnest desire to keep the injunc-
tions most scrupulously led the teach
ers of Israel to enact laws. such as the
use of special dishes that had been
guarded from contact with leaven and
reserved only for the Passover season.
a charming and effective feature in
the celebration of the feast is the
special Seder service around the fes-
tive family board on the first evening
or the feast, to which the Orthodox
add second evening. At this family
service a special ritual known as the
"Haggadah" is read. This ritual con-
tains the story of the redemption
from servitude, certain reflections in
spired by the memories of old and
certain psalms. This is followed by
the festal meal after which Grace is
recited. The service concludes with
the reading of additional psalms, the
recitation Of prayers and the singing
of time-hOnOred hymns. To this
home service stranger and homeless
are cordially invited. On the table in
front of him who presides over the
meal are placed objects reminiscent
OF the ancient service and servitude,
such as bitter herbs, reminder of the
bitter lot of those who toiled in
Egypt; a roast bone, calling to mind
the ancient paschal lamb; a roasted
egg, memorial of the free will offer
ing that was brought in addition to
the paschal lamb; parsley and the
bowl of salt water, symbolizing the
hyssop and its use in the first Pass
over observed in Egypt, and con-
lection of nuts and apples to repre-
sent the clay which Israel worked into
bricks.
The Passover falling at the begin
ming of spring, had originally a pas
toral and agricultural character,
which in time was over-shadowed by
the historical event associated later
with the feast. Freedom and its OBJ
legation is the keynote of the celebra- |
ton. The reform synagoguges hold
special services only on the first and
seventh days. while the Orthodox OBJ
serve also the second day and an adj |
iitional eighth day.

This is the first of a series of ar
ticles on the above subject and the
following few days will see the entire
series in print. 1t is hoped that it will
make some useful suggestions, both to
the public and to the merchants.
This is a period when many people
buy for appearances, rather than for
durable values. If an article looks
attractive, many people will buy it,
even if their own judgment and the
store people warn them it will not give
durable wear. As durable goods are
often not stylish, and as stylish goods
are often not durable, the merchant
is a good deal puzzled as to which
quality the public really values the
more highly.
There are probably not so many
good judges of the value of fabrics as
in former years The old timers, even
in making a small purchase, scrutin-
lied it very carefully, and deliberated
thoughtfully often asked the advice
of neighbors and friends. Today the
thought that used to go into the mat
ter of wear is devoted to the question |
of style or ft
Modern science has developed many |
methods of making cheap goods APP |
pear attractive. One merchant said |
the other day that though he had |
been in business twenty years, he was
frequently unable to detect the pres
ence of poor material, so cleverly was
it concealed. So he had to ask the
statesmen what the goods were made |
Of, and had to depend upon their hon
esty, as evidepced by past dealings and
the record of the houses they repre-
sent. If an experienced dealer is thus
sometimes deceived by clever imi-
tations. the general public is even
less able to buy on its own judgment
alone.
So the public depends more than
ever on the honesty of the men with
whom it is dealing. Here comes in
the advantage of dealing with the mer-
chants near ones home. They can't
afford to sell goods that are not as
represented. A sale made under a
misunderstanding or false impression
is left handed advertising of the worst
kind. The success of the home mer-
chant is dependent upon selling goods
for Just what they are
