TEN of roads their value will depre-
ciate under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads ca he con-
structed. 1t Is therefore essential that
after. a road is once built, great care
should be taken In its upkeep. There
Is no question that the cost OF proper
maintenance Is many times saved In
the increased economic value of the
highway traffic.
Maintenance may be divided into
two general classes First, the upkeep
Of roads which have been constructed
aiGng standard line with minimum
grades, proper drainage and surfac-
ing material; second, the conditioning
Of roads that have had little. II any,
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not so liable to be neglected
by those entrusted with their care,
and while their maintenance problem
is avery important and necessary one,
this class of roads represents only a
lesser portion. The greater percent
age Of roads in the state are not i'm
proved. Inasmuch as this class of
roads serve the majority Of the people
and this kind Of road will always pre-
dominate, 1t is very necessary that at
teRtion be directed to proper ways and
means Of their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work is being done and the mileage Of
improved roads increased, and while
this work is going on the unimproved
roads should be kept in as good cOndl-
ton as possible ut minimum cost.
The best results can only be OBJ
tained by the enthusiasm and local
pride of the man who uses the road.
He ID the fellow most interested, and
small amount Of intelligent atten-
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results on their particular
section Of the road.
This rule applied throughout the
length and breadth of any state would
mean u system Of earth roads TINT
could be pointed to with pride.

When Nobel Cut His Finer.

The great war might be traced back
to Nobel's cut finger. ID. r. Slosson
writes In the New York Independent
Alfred Nobel was Swedish chemist
land a pacifist. One day while work
ing in the laboratory he cut his finger,
as chemists are apt to do, and again
as chemists are apt to do, he dissolved
some guncotton in ether alcohol and
swabbed II on the wound. At this
point, however, his conduct DIVORCES
from the ordinary. for instead Of stand.

In the air to dry the Aim as most peO-
pie. including chemists, are apt to do,
ne put his mind on It and II occurred
to him that this sticky stuff, slowly
hardening to an elastic mass, might
be Just the thing he was hunting as
an absorbent and soldier Of nitro
glycerin. So inrtead Of throwing away
the extra ,collodion that he had made
he mixed II with nitroglycerin and
found that II set to Jelly. The "blast-
ing gelatin" thus discovered proved to
be 30 insensitive to shock that II could
be safely transported or fired from a
cannon. This was the first of the
high explosives that have been the
chief factor In the great war.

SHEEP RELISH SWEET CLOVER
Care Must Be Taken to See That Pas.
lures Are Not overstocked-
Yellow Variety Best.

Sheep relish sweet clover and make
rapid gains when pastured on 1t. Care
must be taken to see that pastures are
not overstocked with sheep as they are
likely Ia eat the plants so close to the
ground as to kill them. This is es-
pecially true the first year before the
plants have formed crown buds.
Yellow biennial sweet clover prob
ably will not suffer from this cause as
much as the white species, because the
plants make II more spreading growth
and are not likely to be eaten so close
ly to the ground.

FARM
ANIMALS
SEPARATE BOAR FROM SOWS
Practice OF Permitting Him to Run
With Herd lie Frowned Upon by
Many Swine Breeders.

The practice Of letting the boar run
with the sows is generally frowned
upon by swine breeders. There are
many reasons why the herd does bet
ter IL the boar is kept separate. He
worries the rest Of the hogs as well as
himself when he is with the herd. The
waste and possible injury to the boar
by too much breedlng. IL more than
one sow comes In heat ut the same
time Is useless and can be avoided
by keeping the boar alone and turning
the SOW in to him. This assists in
keeping records. The owner knows
when the SOW was bred. Also know
ing when she is due to farrow, he can
be prepared for this event, which may
be the cause of saving one or more
pigs. Small filters as well rs weak
pigs are as often the direct results OF
letting the boar run with the sows as
they are due to a poor brood sow.
And to use boar whose breeding
powers have been impaired by unwise
herd management Is financial loss
to the owner.

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
itenmvely advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparat ton that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
"A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, .

and never hesitate to recommend, for in

suits. as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that i know Of

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, % many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralzes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Have Always Been
Necessary Adjunct to State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
been necessary adjunct to the well
fare Of the state, community and indi-
vidual. The argument. Good roads
cost lots of money" may In reality be
true when figured in dollars and miles,
but is incorrect when considered in
reality. Good roads must be paid for,
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
on teams, harness and vehicles, and
the increased cost of hauling ON poor
roads is costing the grower far more
than the price Of building and keeping
In repair the very best roads. He is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them: and, besides, is put to
much Inconvenience and worry.
In short. good roads cost nothing.

Newton d. Baker on the War,
From an Address Delivered q

- SStSIN
And so all wars which have been
waged for the prestige of kings or the
territorial extension of empires fail in
their analogy. There Is a quality in this
war which evokes a spiritual response
and that will be a new kin of cement
for 1the making of a stronger and more
triumphant people when 1t is over.
we are not fighting this battle alone.
/ am not even ambitious that the glory
of the final conquest should come to us
alone. ! woul far rather have the tri-
umph Of democracy the reward of the
associated effort of democratic peoples
everywhere, so that when the war Is
over neither we nor they can have any
monopoly of What virtue, but will be
partners In its glory, and SO associates in
the future progress which is to be made.
For we must never forget. when we
speak of democracy. that 1t is not an
accomplishment, it Is not a thing that has
been done. but it is a progress; it is a
system of growth. and though today we
might achieve what our limited vision
proclaims to us as the democratic ideal.
Its quality Is such that when we stand
on what now seems to is the highest
peak of that range, there will be greater
heights to tempt and inspire us.
And SO, when this war is over. and
the crude medievalism which at last
brings the HohenZollerns and the Haps-
burgs to confront their fate in the young
giant of the democratic spirit; when this
contest is over and the David Of democ-
racy has dealt with the Goliath of
medievalism and a~utocracy, there will
still be work for David to do worthy of
his best efforts, and in the accomplish
ment Of 1t large benefits to the race still
remain to be achieved. 80
SIT is q wonderful story, the alignment
of the nations which can truly <be called
civilized, against the ancient medievallsm
which survives In the heart of Europe.
TheAhope Of ma kind. so often frustrated,
apparently is now to be accomplished. 1t
could not be done In Napoleon's time. in
