tween Rumania and Austria-HunSary.
none is more picturesque than that
which follows the valley OF the north
ward flowing Tomos almost 10 the
boundary line. then follows the mean
dering course Of the Prahova. which
flows south. The railroad from Buda-
pest to Bucharest via Kronstadt takes
advantage Of this rift in the noun
tains and enters the Tomos valley only
three and a half miles beyond Kron-
s;adt. the Transylvanian city which
has been a storm center Of recent oper-
atoms. AS it follows the rivers de-
preston toward the Rumanian IRON
tier. It runs below lofty spur oil
mountains called U1ter-Tomos. on the
crest of which stands a simple SHAFT
erected 10 the Hungarian patriots who
lost their lives in resisting the advance
of a Russian army in the war OF 1913.
The shaft bears an inscription To the
Members Of the Hungarian Engineer
and Architect Club Who Shed Their
Blood in Defense Of the Fatherland.'
AT the southern end Of the Tomos
Pass. which has an elevation OF $3.50
feet. is the Rumanian frontier station
of Predeal. eighteen and one-half
miles south of Kronstadt. From this
point the road takes advantage OF
the Prahova valley. gorge Of great

superb gorge OF Hirschthai in which
there is a spring whose waters are

The distance by rail from Tomos

miles. Thirty miles below the pass
is Canpina, a city which would be

ian army. for here are located the
richest oil wells in Rumania and il IS
the center Of the country's petroleum
industry. developed largely through
the investment OF foreign capital. The
annual output OF these wells is more
than a million tons a year. Beyond
Campina lie the fertile plains OF Wal
iachla.
'Reverting TO Kronstadt, an inter-
esting legend is told concerning the
origin of the city's name. The old
town hall is supposed to stand on the
SPOT where a golden crown was found
in the stump Of a tree in 1904. The
royal emblem was believed to have re-
NAMED hidden here for more than 3
hundred years. It was identified as
having belonged to King Solomon Of
Hungary. who concealed It lest IT fall
into the hands Of the pursuing Bull
garians. Hence the name. Rron.

EIGHT WARSHIPS IN WAITING

Baltimore, Aug. lon the second
anniversary OF Germany's declaration
of war against Russia the German sub
marine merchantman Deutschland set
out from Baltimore on return voy-
age to Germany with declaration OF
confidence from her commander Capt
Paul Koenig, that he would take her
home in spite OF the heavy odds she

land proceeded down the Patap5c0
river under her own power.
Capt Koenig and his army of q
men put to sea with the knowledge
that a man hurried to a telephone
with message to agents for the en-
tente allies that the Deutschland had
started but the little captain went

waving his cap. His last words in the
harbor were OF praise for America and
for his treatment here by Baltimore
customs authorities.

HUGHES DECLARES
WOMEN SHOULD
HAVE BALLOT
President Candidate Goes on Rec
ord in Favor Of Suffrage
BELIEVES IN SHORTEST CUT
Congressional Amendment Should Be
Submitted to States and
Adopted.

New York, Aug. 1.-Charles E.
Hughes twice today declared himself
in favor of an amendment to the fed
eral constitution granting the vote to
women throughout the United States.
In letter to Senator Sutherland of
Utah, sent in response to a telegrap,
Mr.. Hughes stated his personal view
that the proposed amendment should
be submitted by Congress to the
States and ratified. In a speech late
today before 500 women Of the Wo-
mems Roosevelt League for Hughes,
the nominee declared the question
was one affecting the whole country
and that he favored taking the short
est cut to its solution"
Il believe this question should be
promptly settled" Mr. Hughes said.
81 see nothing but danger to our Sc
curity. to our unity, to our proper at
titude toward political questions, in
continued agitation of this subject
In his address to the league, Mr..
Hughes again assailed the administra-
ton for its policy concerning Ameri-
can rights abroad during the Euro
pean war.
The nominee also made a luncheon
| address today to about 30 republican
editors OF New York State in which he
said he had twice been called upon to
live down an undeserved reputation
for coldness and aloofness and that he
was now passing through the third
experience. He invited sympathetic
! cooperation.
This address was made after Mr.
Hughes had dismissed a stenographer
sent to the luncheon ythe national
committee to obtain a verbatim report
OF It, The nominee said he did not
want his remarks to be taken down
that he wanted to talk freely and ful
ly. The luncheon was private.
Tonight Mr.. Hughes addressed a
small meeting of social workers in
yited by Herbert Parsons, national
committeeman for New York, to meet
the nominee at an uptown club. The
meeting was private.

Good Reads Are the Backbone OF the
Country.
In the recent issue of Farm and
Flreside, writer says about good

NO other country in Nebraska Of
fers a better illustration of the low
cost of building and maintaining good
dirt roads than Polk County, especi-
ally during the time when county
highway engineer was employed to
supervise the road and bridge work
in that county. That period began in
the spring of 1911 and continued until
the beginning of the year 1915,
During that time 525 of the so
miles OF road in the county we're
graded. Previous TO the services oi
the county engineer only 1913 miles of
road in the county had been graded.
During his term OF office, contracts
were let to grade every mile oi road

1T is true that the county engineer

Polk County are favorable for efficient
road work; the soil ahsorbs water

"The cost of grading IN Polk Coun

BIG HAY CROP
Twice as Heavy and Twice as Hard
to Harvest.


The hay crop on farms in Bratte-
boro and vicinity is double that of last
year. In one town the claim is made
that the farmers have an opportunity
this year to harvest more hay than in
the three previous seasons combined.
The only trouble is that the growth is
so luxuriant and the conditions so un.
favorable that perhaps not all of the
grass win be cut and put away in the
barns.
There is one good thing about hay.
1t is not necessary to use 1t the sea
son Immediately after it is cut 1t will
carry over better than almost any
other crop.
We wonder whether the growth OF
grass this year makes any OF the far
mers think OF possibilities. We get
the immense growth because of the
heavy fall of rain. But what about
irrigation? Without their canals thou
sands of farmers in Western and
Southwestern states would be in de
plorable condition. With many OF
them their lands, which now turn out
valuable crops each season, would be
valueless. But what is the matter
with irrigation in New England?
BY use of storage reservoirs and
electric pumps many acres which can
not be depended upon to give crop:
with any degree OF certainty would
blossom like the rose every year.
We know Of some farms within 6
few miles of this village that coulC
be irrigated at a very small expense
But no one has ever had the temer
ity to try the experiment About th'
only farmers in this part of the coun
, try who have used the water supplies
| to keep their crops in good condition
are the cucumber, onion and tobacco
growers in certain towns in the Con
necticut valley in Massachusetts, towns
! 30 to On miles south OF Brattleboro
and they employ the overhead system
o. pipes
We believe that irrigation, in en-
form or another, could be employe.
with great profit on thousands o
acres in New England.-Brattlebor.
