London, Oct. 4.-Formation of q
special ministry to return measure for
measure to the Germans for air raidAk
over London, is the war cabinets re.
sponse to the almost unanimous pub.
die demand for reprisals. according to
a forecast today by the Chronicle.
The special minister 1t was asserted
would concentrate British aerial
forces specially for raids over Ger.
man cities.
His duty would be to devise the
maximum amount of frightfulneso
which could be inflicted upon German
cities. An official announcement on
the matter of reprisals was withheld
today. Proponents of vigorous re-
prisal policy brought a new argument
today in favor of their program. ~
was that the German cities most ab-
cessible for British raiders, were In
southern Germany-and the eouth>
ern Germans. according to reports, ID
chatting over too much Prussianism in
the empire.
Advocates of British raiding held
that nothing could bring home to the
southern Germans the brutality and
arrogance Of Prussianism so much as q
series of raids over southern German
cities, specifically announced - re-
pgisals for similar excursions over
England.

THE CLEARWATER REPUBLICAN.
p L. CIRCUIT, Owner and Publisher

The installation of Linotype has
raised Ned at the Republican Office
for several days, for thesimple reason
that these wonderful mechanical de-
vices, with more than 1000 different
parts, and with multiplicity of lev
ers, springs, triggers and dugiggers
to shift, turn, pull, push, twist and
monkey with, persistently refuse to
properly perform according to Hoyle
unless the aforesaid multiplicity of
levers, springs, triggers and dugigers
are worked in harmony with the
rules and regulations for Linotypes
made and provided. The company
expert sent out stays only a few
hours after the machine is assembled
and ready to operate, and what one
fails to learn about the machine
while the expert is hanging around
must be worked out later with fear
and trembling. Realizing this as a
well established truth that can be ig-
nored only at the cost of endless flu
ture grief and money, and more par
ticularly because the erector will not
purchaser to get ready, we laid all
else aside forthwith. The Repub-
lican, like all publishers, finds it's
self up against war conditions that
cannot be ignored or escaped. Labor
and material are not only high, but
labor is practically impossible to get
at any price. The only way out is
to get machinery to do the work or
not do the work. Since the publish
er of even small weekly paper can
not curtail the work required to pub
lish little paper he must depend on
mechanical devices that cannot go to
war, go on a strike or shirk on the
job.
That is one reason for better
equipment. Another reason is that
the business has grown till it needs
more capacity. We are ambitioues t.
get out a better local paper than Or
ofino has ever had. Our efforts to
boost have demonstrated to our sat
isfaction that the business men are
willing to support local paper that
will make itself worth it's salt to the
community. Two months of trial
has proven that it pays to be boost
er.

Home Builder Should Begin by Placing
House to Leave as Much Space as
Possible for Lawn and Gardens.

Begin your house with the plan! A
good plan makes good exterior. So
place your house on your land that as
much as possible 1t left for lawn and
gardens, which are the out-Of-dOors
rooms do not put 1t in the middle of
the lat. This is the advice of an ex-
perienced builder.
Make each of the rooms self-cOn-
tanned; don't throw them all together
by cutting large openings In the parti-
lions.
Choose some good and simple ex-
terror as a model for your house and
follow Ii MS closely as possible; do not
choose door from one place, a porch
or window from another, d0rmer
from a third and SO on, and~then ex-
meet to combine these into unified
whole. II can be done but only by an
expert.
Wall space IL very important In any
room do not cut this up too much with
doors and windows.
Parts of any house should be proper
toned to the whole; do not use large
porches or obse rvation windows In
little house.

BASIS FOR ROAD SELECTION
Pike Should Garry Traffic as cheaply
as Possibie-Expensive High
way Often Cheapest

When city or county or state de-
cides that ii Is time to build new
roads II is not the amount of money
In the treasury and the mileage that
should determine the type Of road,
but the amount ii will cost to move q
ton mile over the road.
That is the fundamental basis on
which road construction planning must
be founded, according to George G..
Diehl. chairman OF the good roads
board Of the American Automobile as
sociation. He points out that 1t Is
the function of a road to carry traffic
and that 1t should do so as cheaply
as possible.
"Cheaply" does not mean in the cost
of building and maintaining the road,
but the relation of the total expense
to the. total vehicle tonnage carried,
which is the road cost to carry a ton
a mile, or the ton-mile cost.
I'm order to arrive at the ton-mile
cost" says Diehl, ut is essential. first,
to have the total cost of construction
and maintenance; next, to have the
amount of traffic tonnage. The first
cost must be the result of a properly
kept system of records, and the total
cost of maintenance and construction

The Improvement of rural highways

closely in touch with the outside

The farmer and his home life are

these circumstances II. f. Major of the
Missouri college Of agriculture sug-
gests that he take more pride in the
development of his home grounds. "A
man is known by the company he
keeps" so the character of man is
judged by his home life and the at
mosphere with which he surrounds
himself.
The improvement of the grounds
does not necessarily imply spending
great sums or building an extensive

1t means treating the yard as an out.
