Side View Of Road-Makinq Machine,

roads are difficult to make, the gen.
eral object being the provision of
machine movable along selected
roadway site, capable Of the formation
OF wheel tracks in the course of it's
movement. A further object is to pro-
vide machine capable of ready ad-
justment and interchange of parts for
other purposes; for instance, it can be
transformed into a freight car in q
very short time. For the grading of
roads the machine is self-loading and
self-adjusting, automatically throwing

at left or right.

DEFINITION OF ROAD TERMS
List OF Technical Names Taken From
the Program of the Canadian
Good Roads Congress.

with the progress Of road building
there has come into use number of
terms more or less technical, but
which should be we'll known. The fol-
lowing list is from the program Of the
Canadian Good Roads congress:
Aggregate.-The mineral material,
such as sand, gravel, shells, Stag, or
broken stone, or combinations thereof,
with which the cement or the bitumin-
Gus material is mixed to form a NOR.
tar or concrete. Fine aggregate may
be considered as the mineral inert ma
terial which will pass a one-fourth.
inch screen, and coarse aggregate the
material which will not pass a one
fourth-inch screen.
Binder.-Q) A foreign or fine mate
rial introduced into the mineral DOR
ton of the wearing surface for the
purpose of assisting the road material
to retain its integrity under stress, as
we'll as, perhaps, to aid in it's first
construction. (2) The course, in
sheet asphalt pavement, frequently
used between the concrete foundation
and the sheet asphalt mixture of
graded sand and asphalt cement.
Bond.-The combined action of in
ertia, friction, and of the forces of
adhesion and cohesion which helps the
separate particles composing crust
or pavement to resist separation under
stress. Mechanical bond is the bond
produced almost wholly in a well-built
broken-stone macadam road, by the
interlocking Of angular fragments of
stone and the subsequent filling of the
| remaining interstices with the finer
| particles.
Observation-Disclosures with the aid
Of water.
Cement.-An adhesive substance
used for uniting particles of other ma
terfals to each other. Ordinarily ap-
piled only to cdlcined cement rock"
or to artificially prepared calcined
and ground mixtures Of limestone and
silic1ous materials. Sometimes used to
designate bituminous binder used in
bituminOus pavements, when the ex-
preston ''bituminous cement" "a. w
is understood to be meant.
Cement Concrete.-An intimate mix
!. ture Of gravel, shell, Stag or broken
stone particles with certain proper
tons of sand or similar material. &C.
ment and water, made previous to
placing.
Course.-One or more layers of road
material spread and compacted sepa-
rately for the formation Of the road or
pavement. Courses are usually re-
ferred to in the order of their laying,
as first course, second course, third
course, etc. Also a single row of
blocks in pavement.
Crown.-The rise in cross-section
from the lowest to the highest part of
the finished roadway. It may be ex-
pressed either as so many inches (or
tenths of FOOT, or as rate per foot
Of distance from side to center, that
is, 1.-THE crown IL four inches" or 1.-THE

NO ENDORSEMENT
BY THE PRESIDENT
WOODROW WILSON HAS NOT IN
DORSED NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE,
SAYS TUMULTY

Another claim of the leaders of the
Non-Partisan league has been shown
to be absolutely false. The claim has
been made repeatedly by organizers
that President Wilson had indorsed the
league and this argument has, no
doubt, been the means of inducing
many good farmers who are in sym
pathy with the president to join the
league and pay SIG, of which it is
said that the organizer, or agent, who
secures the signature and the SIS of
the farmer, gets half. So persistent
ly and continuously have the organiz-
ers made this statement that President
Wilson has given an official denial of
it through his secretary, Joseph P.
Tumulty. The following despatch
from Lincoln, Neb., tells an interest
ing story for those who have been sep
arated from $16 on the plea that the
nresident of the United States had in
dorsed the league:
LINCOLN, Neb.-President Wilson
has not given his Endorsement to the.
non-partisan league, the presidents
secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty, stated in
a telegram to R. M. Joyce, president OF
the Nebraska council of defense, in re-
ply to an inquiry from the council.
The inquiry was made, it was said at
the office Of the council, because pro-
moters of the league had represented
that the president had indorsed the
leagues work. "The president gives
Endorsement to no organization"
Secretary Tumulty's telegram said.

CHANGES IN FOOD
RULES ANNOUNCED
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR EVOLVES
ANOTHER CHANGE IN FLOUR
REGULATIONS

| With a large force at work making
changes in the food regulations the
/ administration is managing to keep
dealers and consumers so confused
that it is difficult to keep track OF
the new rules The following tele-
gram received by H. D. Martin, county
administrator, is self-exp1anatory.
BOISE Effective Immediately,
beans and potatoes will no longer be
permitted to be sold as substitutes
with wheat flour, and bran, shorts and
middlings will not be recognized as
authorized substitutes. The only
substitutes permitted from now on
are those named in the original list
corn meal, corn starch, corn flour,
hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rice,
rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, buck
wheat, flour, potatoe flour, sweet po-
tato flour, soya bean flour, feterita
NEAL feterita flour. tapioca flour. Eff
feotive Immediately, certificates by
consumers that they have in their pos
session required substitutes to bal
ance wheat flour purchases will no
longer be accepted. In other. words,
with every purchase of flour there
must be purchaser at the same time,
pound for pound, of the the authorized
substitutes. Package wheat cereal
goods now held in stock by whole
salers and retailers may be sold with
out substitute but not as substitute
This permission is given for present
stocks only now on hand, not for fu-
ture stocks. You are directed to make
an official call through your county
and through any other
means you may devise requiring all
citizens in your county to list with
you their stocks of flour and sugar.
Issue notices and do not mince words
that any persons found guilty of
boarding or violating the flour and
substitute regulations will be severe
ly dealt with as will any dealers
guilty of violations of the food regula-
tions. The seriousness of the wheat
situation demands our eternal vigil
ance. BICKNELL.
