SPRING CARE OF HIGHWAYS
Go Over Road With Grader to Clean
Out Ditches-FiII All Ruts
With New Material.

Every spring before the ground be-
comes too hard the road should be
thoroughly gone over with a grader to
clean out the bitches, so that the water
may have q free outlet. The ruts and
holes should be filled, elevations in the
road and shoulders on the side of the
road planned off, the grade improved,
and the road put in good condition,
Earth roads have pronounced tend
ency to rut. When ruts begin to ap-
pear on the surface great care should
be used in selecting new material, with
which they should be filled Immediate

Of special Importance ia the repair
~ any road is that whatever material
Is used ip the construction Of the sur
face, the sf,a4::s Ilaterta9-and no other

words. the dealer INST keep an Item
lied record moving The name and
address of purchas r, his Iicense
number, kind and g i4nti,y Of explc-
sives purchased, and purpose for
which 1t is to be used. This also
compels practically every drug
store In the United States to have a
license permitting them TO have IN
possession and sell explosives lngre-
dents, and the buyer must have a
license when purchasing these ingre-
dients in quantities of an ouce or
more, and the dealer must keep the
same record as the party who sells
dynamite. These ingredients are:
Bichromates, CELEBRATES, Chromates,
Nitrates, Nitric Acid, Perchlorates,
Perborates, Permanganates, Perox-
ides and Phosphorus, in their vari-
Gus forms.
This law will be rigidly enforced
IN the future; 1t having been in effeCt
since November IS, 1917, and every
/ dealer has had time to familiarlzt
himself with the law and all its de.
Ills, and no excuse will be accepted
in the fu u-e. Violation Of this Act
carries penalty of S., 900 fine OIL
Imprisonment in a Federal prison,

check is being made, by Fedora
Authorizes, OF every dealer in the
State who handles explosives or in.

may drop in any day, and dealer:
should not allow themselves to be
caught unprepared.
There is United States Explo
sives Licensing Officer IN every
County, and such dealers as have
not already procured their license
should take immediate steps to &c
so.
This is considered one of the mos
| important war measures enacted by
our Congress, and dealers can no
be too careful in making sales of ex-
plosives or their ingredients.

On Saturday afternoon the reg
ular monthly Farmers meeting and
special conference OF directors OF
the Farmers Club, was called bv
VI. +. Vaughn. for the purpose of
organizing this community for the
Agricultural Fair in October.
This Agricultural Fair will be held
jointly with the Mountain Workers
Conference which meets annually
the last week in October. These
Conferences and Fairs have been a
wonderful inspiration 10 all who
have attended them, and it is great
ly 10 be hoped that the attendance
this year will be multiplied five
times.
The country surrounding Berea
offers a greater opportunity for a
varied Agricultural Fair than any
other section OF the State. We have
a cobination Of blue grass, creek
bottom, and mountain soils. We
can grow successfully in this com
munity anything that can be grown,
either in the mountains or the blue
grass Of Kentucky. Orchards a
short distance from Berca can dis
play Winesap apples and liberia
peaches equal 10 any grown in the
State. The state records in corn
growing. poultry raising. and pig
raising are held by the boys living IN
this vicinity; therefore we should
bend every effort TO have the great
est agricultural display this fall that
has ever been seen in Kentucky.
The organization that was per-
fected last Saturday is the most
perfect OF its kind we have ever
had in this part of the state. and
il is earnestly hoped that every far
mer and housewife within ten miles
Of Berea will join in with one of
these committees and enter one of
the departmental contests.
