physicians at Sapporo hospital state
that Art Smiths right thigh bone Is

will be unable to leave the hospital for
at least one month.
While flying at Sapporo on Thurs

THE ROBERTS COUNTY ROADS
By ]. Willard Thomas

We are often admonished TO give

me that considerable honor is due

Judgement they used last sp.ing

This system OF determining the

ing to completion without inter-
terence from some one who thinks
that work should be divided between
different portion of the township or
townships.
Where the townships determined
the roads and the amount of work
to be put upon them there was little
chance of completing stretch of
road i'll one season. The usual pro.
cess was to break few burrows
one year with the expectation of
grading the following year. Some
times the grading was done the
following year but more often it
was not with the consequence that
the road itself was left in worse
shape than it was before the grad
ing was done. Under the county
system the roads that are desig-
mated as county roads are given the
attention of the engineer and his
workers until tney are put in prop
er shape to travel. Stones, trees and
other obstructings are removed
at once and cuts are filled or hills
cut down until the road becomes al
most as easy of travel as city street.
True it is that these things could
have been done under the town
ship supervision but they were not
because the township did not have
the proper tools to work with, nor
werethey inclined to purchase these

tools because of the eNpence then
too, it takes all expert TO locate or
map out and supervise the proper
construction of a road and such
engineer the townships would not
provide on account OF the expense.
The county can do bos these things
with very small amount of addi-
tional taxes. The only thing needful
is to see that all parts OF the county
get about equal amounts of road
building from the added taxes,
naturalley this phase OF the problem
has been looked after and will con-
inue to be looked after because
each county commissioner will see
hat his own district get its share
of the good roads.

How to Put Ice Up Easy.

Zoe way to put up ice, says a
writer in Il farm paper, is to dig
a hole about six feet wide and ten
feet long by seven feet deep.
Have il close to your windmill or
other source of water supply. so
water can be dumped into it.
Have this done early in the fall
when the digging is easy. When
the freezing weather comes The
bottom ard sides will freeze hard.
Next you pump about eight
inches of water into it at a time
and allow it to freeze up solid.
Repeat this process urtil the hole
is filled to within one foot of the
top. Cover it over with about
three feet of straw, and build u
rough shed over it all to keep the
rain off. A little ditch will carry
all the rain water away from it.
This ice can be split into any
sized pieces desired, when the
warm weather comes, and will
separate at the different layers.
This has been tried out and found
to be a real success, and costs
practically nothing. Why not
every farmer have his own ice?
