CHOOSING ROAD MATERIALS

There are many inalienable rights

advantage of the right he possesses in
many places to select the kind of

raising strong objection. The road is
for the public use, and even when
considerable part of it's improvement
is paid by local assessment the COM
munity contributes the remainder of
the cost and therefore shouad have a
voice in determining its nature. The
average taxpayer is not a road eN-

out skidding does not make him one,
although it may make him a helpful
critic. 1t takes years of study ana
experience to develop a road expert

Bluegrass Mlllers Use Their COnven-

and Wheat May BE Lost.

Lexington. Ky.-Unless the flour
mills in Kentucky are ordered by
the Food Administrator to accept ear
ly delivery of wheat grown in this
state, there will be heavy wastage, be-
cause the farmers, unused to raising
such crops as they have harvested
this year, are not prepared to proper
ly store the grain.
The millers are not taking the
wheat now for the reason that, under
the Governments regulations, they
may buy 1t as they need it at the one
price and without suffering loss, how
ever small that loss may be, due to
shrinkage as the wheat dries. The
millers are taking wheat only as they
grind it, though there may here and
there be an exception to the rule.
The farmers, as a rule, are being
compelled to put their wheat in sacks
rented from grain dealers and millers
and thep are housing 1t in such barns
and other buildings, usually wooden
structures, as they have. These build
ings are not fire proof, neither are
they rat proof The farmer is put to
a further liability from theft of that
portion of the crop which is in the
least secure of the buildings ordinar-

There is in Lexington large con-
crete grain elevator, privately owned
and not the property of a mill which
is capable of storage of many thou
sands of bushels of wheat, but 1t is
practically empty, because the owners
do not now, under the Government
plan of cutting out the middleman,
find profit in handling wheat.

FIND GASOLINE
POURED in FIRE
ExTINGUISHERS
Wide Destruction Scheme by the
Germans In the United States Is
Unearthed by U. s. Major.

Wilmington, Del. Warnings
agains a new diabolical scheme for
the detruction Of property are being
sent broadcast throughout the United
States by Major Richard Sylvester,
former superintendent of policies in
Washington, d. c., and now head of the
protection department of the Du Pont
Powder company.
Discovery has been made that hand
fire extinguishers. which, are part Of
the fire-fighting equipment of thou
sands of facotries, stores, offices, and
even private dwellings, have been
filed with gasoline. so that instead of
eXtinguishing incipient blazes the liq-
udi feeds the flames and makes GER
tain the destruction of property.
Major Sylveter was called in re-
recently by an outside concern to as
sist in the investigation of a myster-
ious fire in a large manufacturing
plant. He soon made the discovery
that two of the extinguishers on
which dependence had been placed
had been tempered with in this man
ner.
The result of this act in the par
ticular instance under investigation
was that when a small fire started
and workman attempted to extin-
guish the flames, he found that the
use of the eXtinguisher only increased
them. Further investigation brought
out the fact that other eXtinguishers
in this plant had been filled with
gasoline.
The far-reaching possibilities OF
this scheme for destruction of prop
erty were so apparent that Major
Sylvester at once sent out orders to
all of the Du Pont plants to investi-
gate the contents Of their eXtinguish-
ers and to guard against the POSSIBLE
ity of tampering with them in the fu-
ture.
He decided to make public his dis
covery so that every user of extin-
guishers may be put on guard.

BRIEY IRON BASINS LOSS

Placing It Under Fire Enough to

PARIS, France. September 1s.-The
American offensive at St. Mihiel is
important beyond the mere immediate
results in three respects. First. it
improves the allies communications
by reopening another railway line;
second, it completes the first step to.
ward eventual action against Metz, II
such action is desired, and, third. 1t
threatens the Bfiey iron basin. The
last is the most important.
Before the war France was the
fourth iron-producing nation in the
world. About 80 per cent Of Frances
ore came from the Briey basin. which
has been in the enemy's hands since
1914. The reoccupati6h OF this basin
or even bringing 1t under our fire
would reduce aermany's actual pro.
ductiof Of iron at one stroke by so
per cent. This would doubtless ac-
complish more toward reducing the
enemy's strength than the entire four
years of economic blockade.

lurgists recently obtained BY the
French state that Germany would be
totally unable without the Bfiey
basin to continue the present output
