ITS AN EARLY MORNING JOB
Raid on Destructive Garden Pests at Right Time Much More Effective
 Than Poison.

The boy who gets out early in the morning in his young garden and be gins to pick squash bugs, cucumber beetles, potato bugs, and such slugs and cut and wire worms as are in sight. with his thumb and fOrefinger and drop them in a deep can, will do more good than poison could do in three days, says q writer in the Amer lean Boy.
 Pour boiling hot water into the tin holding these insects to make sure they are killed. Go the rounds every morning. Do not wait until after school, or late in the day, because they have feasted and crawled away to sleep and rest-most of them. Do not try to pick them at noon because they hide underground or behind leaves to get out of the hot sun. But bright and early in the morning they come out with the sparkling dew to get busy and eat the good things you have planted. Get up an hour earlier three mornings a week just to do this, and the result will repay you ten times over when your garden begins to supply you with peas and beans and eucumbers and lettuce and radishes and many other delicacies.
 People who talk too much think too nffla

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

When a city or county or state de cides that it is time 10 build new roads il is not the amount of money fin the treasury and the mileage that should determine the type of road, but the amount 1t will cost to move a ton mile over the road.
 That is the fundamental basis on which road construction planning must be founded. according to George c. Diehl, chairman of the good roads board of the American Automobile as- sociation. He points out that 1t is the function of road to carry traffic and that it 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 mile, or the ton-mile cost.
 'In order to arrive at the ton-mile cost" says Diehl. ''it 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

 Five days after the date of the pres ident's proclamation complete regula tions will be in the hands of ali sheriffs and of the officials of cities of over 5000 population.
 The president is authorized to cali upon all public officers to assist in the execution of the law. The plan is, however, to rely on the people for the proper execution of the law.
