REV. v. E. WHEELER PRAISED
Does Good Work During "F|u" E pidemic
Among Retormatory Inmates

We are in receipt of a copy of
"The Chronicle" a neat little publica.
ton issued in the interest of the
Connecticut State Reformatory for
Boys. From it we Gull the follow
ing, relative to the influenza situation
in the intuition:
AN APPRECIATION.
When we contemplate the influenza
situation on the outside and then turn
our gaze inward, we hurriedly knock
wood, for it seems to good to be true.
With but one death directly traceable
to the epidemic, and the fact that only
a few patients are still IN the hospital
out of total of l65 cases, goes to
show what kind of treatment and at
tention were accorded the boys during
their incapacity.
We feel that large amount of cred
it should 90 to some person or persons
for this admirable handling of the loc-
al situation.
Surely large amount of praise
should 20 to our chaplain, Rev. W. X.
Wheeler, who, after our resident nurse
contracted the influenza while minis
ering to the boys. and there was no
one to take his place. volunteered to
assume the nurses duties, regardless
of the chances he was taking. He
faithfully ministered to the boys at all
times, granting their every wish and
delivering messages of courage and
good cheer, whose leit-motif seemed
tobe "Hold on!"
The many friends of Rev. W. E.
Wheeler in this county, who love and
admire him SO sincerely, are not at all
surprised at this manifestation of
Christian zeal and a desire really to
serve. They would have been much
surprised had he acted otherwise. /

Washable Walls.

Why should children prefer to write
on immaculate walls rather than on
writing paper? Because, first, their
mothers caution them not to do it. and
second, because the walls are whittier
and the writing looks better on them
than it does on paper. But the time
has come when the mother need fear
for the white nursery walls no longer.
They can indeed. be changed from a
source of irritation to education
al purposes by means Of a finish which
makes them washable. In other words
all pencil, crayo1. and pen marks NAV
De washed away. Consequently. the
wall surface Is as good a place for
drawing pictures or making examines
as blackboard. Although the finish
Is intended primarily for the walls Of
the nursery, it may be used in tho
Kitchen, living room or other mart of
the house where children are wont tn
try out artistic ability on the walls.
The finish may be in any one of a
number of different shades.

LABOR SHORTAGE
IN PROSPECT
Possibility That Miners Will Have
to Be Given a Deferred
Classification.
FARM WORKERS ALSO SHORT
Situation in This Country Much Like
That Which Faced Great Britt
ain in the Early Days
of the War.

Recently the fuel officials recon-
mended to Secretary Of War Baker
that miners be given a deferred classi-
flcation in the draft in order to pre-
vent for the time being at least any
further inroads into their ranks, as
the records show that more than $1,000
union miners alone we're taken in the
first call. However, the secretary did
not see fit to act upon this recon-
mendation, with the result that the
next call is going to take even a great
er number and cause sharp decrease
In production at time when the
country needs every possible ton that
can be taken out.
With this additional labor shortage
in prospect the fuel officials are not
inclined to be overly optimistic, for
they cannot understand how the ever
growing needs of industry are to be
met unless some safeguard is thrown
around the conservation of labor at the
mines. They even go so far as to pre-
dict that eventually this shortage will
become so acute unless the draft Of
1lIAc1o Is SudIucU ny ueleIIcu CldSSIu-
cation that the United States will have
to do what Great Britain was forced
to do in the early days of the war,
namely, withdraw miners and other
trades from the army and send them
back to their civil employment.
Agriculture is facing the same stu
alton in this country by reason of
neglect to draw up any definite instruc-
tons as to deferred classification for
farm labor, with the result that the
great agricultural sections of the West
are in an uproar because the draft
boards in many localities have been
paying no attention whatever to the in
dustrial claims Of the farmers. That
something must be done to rectify
these menacing conditions within the
near future seems to be the consen-
sus of opinion among many of the lead.

Children's Clothes

There are many serviceable frocks
Of linen of heavy weave. For some
reason, some of the smart children's
outfitters have put out an unusual
number of linen frocks in yellow and
lavender; perhaps because these
colors are off the beaten track of
children's equipment. We must all
have grown little weary of the in
cessant pink and blue conventionally
selected for little girls few years
and more ago, observes a Paris fash
ion correspondent 1t does seem a lit
tie odd to put lavender on a two-year-
old, doesn't it? And yet one of the
most charming frocks recently shown
by children's dressmaker of note
was Of white wolfe, with collars and
cuffs Of violet Organdie finished with
loose, coarse buttonholing.

GOOD HOG FEED FROM WASTE
Utilization Of Garbage Possible in
Production Of Pork and Fats
During War Period.

prepared by the United States Depart
Inent of Agriculture)
Feeding garbage to hogs is in keep
ing with the national movement for
the utilization Of waste products and
for increasing the production Of pork
and fats, at least during the war.
There is reason to believe, how
ever, that many Of these emer-
gency enterprises will prove to be
sufficiently remunerative to remain
permanent after the war, especially if
hogs are fed on garbage from cities of
10000 or more, from which, doubtless,
the garbage will be disposed of and
utilized in this manner, Already this
method of feeding has produced good
results, and many who have entered
the field probably would not have en-
gagged in the production of pork under
any other conditions, owing to the

Good Road In Colorado.

The maintenance usually runs up
to a considerable annual cost, and it
is this maintenance that usually is
neglected by county commissioners
and road supervisors.
AS good an illustration of road
maintenance as I have been able to
find Is that practiced by New Hamp-
shire. New Hampshire's roads are
mainly graveled roads. Most of
them are rightly constructed, the
gravel being wet and rolled as it is
placed upon the road, but in many
places this is impossible on account
Of the expense and in these places the
gravel is simply spread upon the road
and left for the traffic to compact.
Many of these roads have to bear
a fairly heavy traffic, especially dur
Ing the summer months, most Of
which is automobile traffic, and the
roads would soon be ruined were It
not for the maintenance feature of
New Hampshire's road system. This
road maintenance is carried on by
several hundred patrolmen. They are
hlred from the last of March until
the first of December, and their
work consists in patching every lit
tie rut and hole that appears, clean
ing the bitches and culverts and in
keeping the roads smooth.
Each patrOlman has a section of
road assigned him. He is required to
furnish One-hOrse wagon. a shovel
rake and light road drag, The
road is smoothed by this drag after
every rain, and if chuck holes start.
fresh material is placed in them.
tamped down and left for the traffic
to compact.
These patrolmen are paid an aver
age of 1925 day and the total cost
OF maintenance runs about $24O per
mile per year. The total first cost
OF construction of these roads runs
about $4,000 mile.

Those who design suits showed us
just how adroit they could be when
they managed their early spring offer
ings Of wool. They had ; . be made of
the shortest allowance Of goods, but
the designers made virtue Of neces-
sity and the conservation of wool
worked to the advantage of styles.
Later they turned to several new and
heavy weaves in silk as a substitute
for wool and for midsummer they were
able to forget all about saving ma
terials and design suits of taffeta and
satin according to their own fancy.
These make the last of their offerings
for now they must begin their work

amount of capital necessary and the
small probability Of getting satisfac-
tory returns on the money invested.
So far as can be ascertained in cases

ner. The belief that hogs fed on garb-
age are exposed daily to the danger Of
cholera Infection is we'll founded.
There is always the possibility that
garbage contains scraps of pork, such
as rinds and trimmings from hams
and bacon, or products Of cholera car
casses that have been prepared for
markets at small local slaughtering
houses where no inspection is MAIN
tanned. These pieces of choleraic pork,
without doubt, will reproduce the dis
ease If consumed in the raw state by
susceptible animals, besides creating q
source of infection which may be re-
tanned on the premises under garbage
feeding conditions.
The hog raiser who feeds garbage

lily arrange to cook the garbage thor
oughly before feeding and in this way
eliminate, to large degree, the dam
ger of cholera infection. If, however,
large herds are fed on garbage en-
tirely, cooking is not practicable and
from the feeders point of view it is
not advisable. Therefore, in all such
cases it is of the utmost Importance
that the animals be immunized and
thus protected from hog cholera; in
fact, owners of such enterprises should
be sure that hogs are permanently i'm
mune before they are placed on such
feed.
Pigs narrowed from immune sows
have natural resistance to hog chol-
era during their sucking period. When
they are about to lose this degree of
immunity, about weaving time, they
should be given the simultaneous inoc-
ulation (serum and virus). Even with
this method of treatment a few in
dividuals may become again suscep-
tible; therefore the herd should be
observed closely at all times and
treated again If any of the animals
show signs of infection.
Considering the income derived from
hogs and the reasonable rates at which
garbage has been obtained, the extra
expense of treating the animals must
be viewed as part of business prop
osition, such as insuring against de-
struction by fire or against accidents
of any kind; and feeders Of garbage
cannot consider their business as safe
unless they protect it against all pos
sible reverses, of which the most seri-
Gus is hog cholera.

DIRT ROADS ARE PREFERRED
mucn OF the Wear and Tear on Hard
Road Can Be Avoided by Making
Dirt Track on Each Side.

Dirt roads are the cheapest-and
Tor large part of the year the best
highways that can be built. Because
we want to use our roads every day in
the year we are willing to go to the
expense Of hard road building, but
that is no reason for discarding the
dirt roads entirely.
More than half the wear on the hard
road can be avoided by making a good
dirt track on each side. People will
use the dirt road from preference
when it is passable. The life of the
hard road will be greatly heightened,
the cost of repairs reduced, and the
needs Of the road users better served
by building this combination of hard
and dirt roads.

By E. B. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
There are two elements that should
be figured in the cost of road con-
struction. First, the cost of construc-
ton. Second, the cost Of maintenance.
It is the yearly average of these two
that should always be considered
when figuring the cost of a road. True
it is, that roads may be constructed
in such a manner as to need very lit
tie maintenance, but these roads are
very expensive to build, and it is out
of the question to contemplate them
for the West. The other type of road
is the road that costs a moderate
sum to construct and then a yearly
charge for maintenance of said road.
