Morristown, March q. - Nor

Morristown, and have offered
the voters of Sioux county a size

rods north of Main street in Nor

line in North Dakota. They
point out that the heaviest tax

the southern part of the county,
and that the new county seat,
being located on the transconti-
mental line of the Milwaukee,
which passed through Norris
town. If the MorrlstoWn plan
succeeds, there is a possibility.
later on, of Morristown being
virtually the county seat of two
counties, as the Morristown
boosters are fostering a move

county in such a way that Nor
ristown would become the coun-

Shortage Of Paper
Stock is Serious

Washington:-- Shortage of pa
per stock was discussed at a con-
ference between Secretary Red
field and Charles A. Holder, of
the foreign trade advisors office.
Frances embargo on the ex.
port of rags has caused many
American manufacturers to fear
that they may have to curtail
production of their mills. The
department has begun sending
out one million circulars to be
posted in postoffices and else
where throughout the coun try
urging that paper and old rags
be saved. Tt e commerce de-
partment promises to put those
who have papers and rags in
touch wi t h manufacturers.
Chambers OF commerce a n d
trade associations have been ask
cd to cooperate.
in conjuction with the above
the Herald wishes to impress
upon the people Of this city the
fact that in the course of a few
years thousands of dollars worth
of rags and old paper are de-
Stroyed in Lennon. If some
church or society would gather
and ba le the waste paper ii
would serve not only in conserv.
ing a large annual waste but also
benefit financially. In the Her.
aid office a lone hundreds of
pounds of waste paper are de-
stored every month.

fine seed.l
Mr.. Bobb finds that the seed
has been averaging little better
than two bushels per acre, and
as the lowest price received was
60 cents and oftentimes higher,
which means that the lowest re-
turns have been $72 per acre for
the seed. The first crop he cuts
for hay and feeds. He finds that
the crop Of hay pays for all the
work, so that the seed crop is all
pure gain. He has at the pres
|ent time 130 acres of alfalfa in
36-inch rows and 20 acres soWn
broad cast which he is going to
use for a hog pasture. He does
not find it profitable to sell ALTAR
ia hay, but feeds it to beef cat
tie, hogs and poultry. In this
way he secures at least Slo per
ton and as the first crop averag-
es about a ton per acre, 1t IS easy
to say that this will amply pay
for the cost of producing two
crops of alfalfa. Mr.. Bobh has

to 313.000, according to the character of construction, whether surface treat ed, penetration or mixing method. The bituminous type is quite general in the eastern states.
 AZ Indicating costs in other sections of country. the state highway e2mmis- sioner of Michigan reported that in 1913 the average cost for macadam roads was $4.300 per mile, clay-gravel roads $1.500 per mile, and concrete roads about $1o,OOo per mile. The average cost of state highways con- structed in Ohio two years ago was $8,3S3. According to types, in 1912 the brick-paved highways averaged $14.65O per mile and the macadam highways $5,950.
 Tn California the first 356 miles of the state system of highways cost an average of $S,143 per mile and con sisted principally of thin concrete with a thin coat of bitumen. The maximum and minimum figures given are not ab- solute, but are intended to present the usual range of costs. The rates given include grading, drainage, surfacing and engineering costs.

ESTIMATING COST OF ROADS
Much Depends on Type of Construe tion and Amount of Grading to
 Be Done-Some Figures.

The cost of road Is dependent upon not only the type of construction but the amount and character of grading to be done, the cost of labor and materials, the width and thick. ness of surfacing, the character and amount of drainage required. and other factors of equal variability. Based upon general averages, it has been ascertained by highway special. ists of the department that under average conditions macadam roads can be built in southern states at from $4,o0O to s5.0O0 per mile, gravel roads at from $1,500 to $2,5O0 per mile, and sand-clay and topsoil roads at from $500 to $500 per mile
 In New England and the other east. ern states macadam roads are report. ed at from $6,000 to 5000 per mile, gravel roads at from $3,200 to $5,000. and bituminous maca'am from $8,000

"DIRT ROADS" AND RAINFALL
Proposition Gets Down to Cues. tion of Dollars and Cents.

Back in the boom days of railroad building many a county in full many middle West and western state voted hundreds of thousands of dol lars worth of bonds to get railroad to cross its boundaries. This was in the old days of pioneer poverty when lands were selling anywhere from $1.25 to $15 an acre. Some counties are still paying off railroad bonds, some repud ated the debt and others have had J. If a century of litigation over then. However. for the most part the rua is were built and agricul- tural deve.o pment followed their com. ing.
 Something like three-fourths of all the freight hauled by railway lines must. first or last, pass over public highways. It has been shown over and over again that every ton so moved costs 23 cents mile. It Is easy to see that the good roads prop osition gets down to a matter of dol lars and cents.
 Next March, or maybe April, when we have to walk to town across the fields; when 1t takes six-horse team to move . load of hay a mile; when the mail carrier cannot get around for . week and the children miss school on account of the mud-then we are all for good roads. As the mud dries and the chuck-holes i'll. we get lukewarm. When the road-bond prop osition comes up we begin to talk high taxes and either stay away from the polls or vote against 1t.
 Good roads will never come till we change our views and keep them changed. Left to themselves . dirt road and rain will always mean mud. Farm Progress.
