sand. In such cases it is preferable
that the cross section be fiat so as to
retain as much moisture as practicable,
though in cold climates a slight crown
may be desirable in order to afford
drainage when the surface is frozen.
But sand roads must be surfaced with
some other material If they are to be
improved to any extent, and in that
case the surface Of the Travelled way
would have to be crowned as usual.
Also, where curves occur in the align
ment It is desirable to "bank" or ele-
vate the outer edge of the roadway and
thus make the crown one way.

familiar to every person living in a

mary supplies a few suggestions as to
how water may best be removed from
a road bed:
1. The road surface should be
crowned so as to shed water Off to the
side bitches as rapidly as it falls on
the road.
2. Wherever the road is in an exca-

under each side ditch is, in general, the
most satisfactory way of securing ade-
quate undertakings. Either four-inch
or six-inch tile is employed for this
purpose.

structed wherever it is necessary to
carry water across the road.

SUFFICIENT FOOD FOR BEES
Every Colony Should Have at Least
Thirty Pounds Of Honey-Whlte
Glover ls Favored.

Sufficient food is essential. Every
colony should have at least 80 pounds
of honey. White clover honey is best,
although any white honey is good.
Dark honey should be used sparingly;
and honeydew honey not at all, on ac-
count Of the waste 1t contains. Bees
never deposit fecal waste in the hive,
but retain II in the large intestine,
where 1t causes dysentery unless soon
passed out. In attempting to rid them
selves of this, the bees fly forth on

-FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY
The Big Flood Reached Its Highest
Mark Of 66.4 Feet-Great Contrast
Between Then and Now.

March 81, 1918, just four years ago
today, marked the highest of the great
est flood ever known in the Ohio River
Valley, going over the marks made by
the famous high water of 1884 by sew
eral inches. The stage of the river at
that time was 66.4 feet.
At that time the only connection
with East Maysville and the western
portion of the city, was string of fiat
cars on the l.. & n. bridge and even
then many persons thought that the
water would go higher and cover those
also.
Several hundred homes were in
Inundated in this city, only four or five
north of the railroad in the East End
not having water on the first floor.
The water had come around the cor
ner of Bridge and Third streets The
Ledger of that date tells of promi-
nent gentleman watering his horse in
front of the Robinson Cigar Store on
West Second street.
But the citizens of Maysville soon
recovered from the effects of the flood
A general cleaning out was made ne
ccssary in the flood district and this
was done Immediately. Danger of an
epidemic was uppermost in the minds
of the people and the Board of Health
made strenuous efforts to make con.
ditions as sanitary as possible.
Today the citizens still remember
the dark days of the latter part Of
March and the early part of April
1913, with shudder, but our city has
recovered from the effects of the food

districts has greatly increased and tn,
