Often borrow pits must be resorted
to, to get enough dirt to shape the
road, but there is a right and a wrong
way to make use of them. Digging
massive gashes along the roadside Is
the wrong way. Taking light, even

right way. 1t is just, as easy to do an
artistic job of road building as a

its face that it was legislation in ad-

II favor the election of Mr.. Hughes

Of the Mexican policy nor the foreign
policy of the Administration nor by
reason of Its domestic policies. It is
because Of the apparent Indifference
OF the Administration Of President
Wilson to the cause Of pure food and
drugs. Practically all of the abuses
which were injected into the Pure
Food Law by the preceding Admins

clared by the Supreme Court misbrand-

has been tacitly approved BY the
