THE MOLOCH OF MISSISSIPPI

Tyre and Palmyra, in ancient Syria,
the great city of Hellipol;;, Or Baal-
Bek. where the cruel god Baal, or
Moloch, as he is better known, was
w~orshiped chiefly. In a wonderful
and splendid temple was Il brazen
image of the deity; a huge thing
over sixty feet high and broad in pro-
portion-brass all through. 1t sat
upon a throne and was hollow. 1t
had arms which supported a tray, so
arranged that when votive offerings
were placed thereon, the willy priests,
unseen underneath, manipulated ma
cblnery causing the arms to rise. tilt
the tray and slide the sacrificial gifts
into the cavernous mouth, which was
always open. Sometimes from the
mouth issued sulphurous fame and
smoke, from fires kindled underneath
and inside a special furnace under
the base Of the idol. At these times
Noloch was said to be hungry for
human flesh, and in abject devotion,
human sacrifices were made to him.
There were two acceptable classes
oTe.,l to Moloch-babies, or beat
TIA children. and the fairest young
womon eff the land. The living sacri-
fee was bound and placed upon the

FACTORS IN n.0..J BUILDING
Necessity Emphasized in Giving Great
est Consideration 20 All
Local Conditions.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agri ;ulture)
Theory is simply the sign post that
points the way in road building
while judgment is the vehicle on which
the journey is dependent, says a pub
LEGATION on 'The Design of Public
Roads" by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The publication emphasizes the
necessity of giving the greatest con-
sideratiOn to all local factors in road
construction. In order to furnish the
kind Of roads that community wants
and to furnish them with the least
possible drain on the public treasury,
the person who designs them must be
thoroughly familiar with local condi-
tons and must possess the judgment
necessary to weigh the Importance of
all considerations. The publication
makes no attempt to state definite and
exact rules for designing roads to
suit every locality but takes up sep
arately the important features Of the
problem with view to showing the
variations in current practice and the
influence Of some special conditions
with regard to each feature.
In order to select the type of sur
face best adapted to the need of a
particular road, 1t is necessary to con-
slider first, the class of traffic to
which the road will be subjected, and
second, to compare the estimated ulti-
mate cost of the different surface
types which would be capable Of sat
isfactorily caring for that particular
class Of traffic. The number Of roads
for which accurate traffic and eff
cheney records have been kept is said
to be insufficient to warrant definite
conclusions as to the best type for
any particular class Of traffic, but the
following summary is said to contain
about as definite information on this
point as can be drawn from available
records.
(O Earth roads, when properly
maintained, are satisfactory In dry
weather for a light volume of all
kinds Of highway traffic.
CD Sand-clay roads are the same
as earth roads, except that the sur
facing material has been selected care
fully with view to increasing the
stability of the surface in both wet
and dry weather. They are satisfac-
tory for moderate traffic of horse
drawn vehicles and a light traffic of
automobiles. They seldom are salts

THOMPSON FARM
HAS Been LEASED
BY THE STATE
Six Hundred Acres Near HubbletOn
To Be Used As An Isolation
Farm For Tuberculosis
Cattle.

The Thompson farm of 600 acres
near Hubbleton has been leased by the
state of Wisconsin for the care of re-
acting cattle. The lease runs for one
year at nominal price with a priv
ilege of five years or purchase by the
state.
The farm is secured under a law
passed in 1917, which authorized the
live stock sanitary board to procure a
suitable place to care for cattle re-
acting from tuberculosis, especially
thoroughbred COWS, until their calves
can be raised and sold to advantage
Under Wisconsin law the state
seizes all tubercular cattle, paying the
owner one-half of the appraised value.
The state then sells the cattle to
butchers. Under the present system
the state frequently pays from 500 to
$3.50 for a thoroughbred COW and is
able to get only $50 to $50 for the ami
NAL.
Many COWS tested are about to
freshen and not only the COW but the
calf in the past has been lost. Under
the new law, the calves will be sep
arated from the COWS, the milk pas
teurized and fed to the calves until
they are able to eat other foods, when
they will be sold.
The Thompson farm is considered
an ideal place for the experiment. 1t
is one of the best appointed stock
farms in Wisconsin with ample pas
tureage, barns, ETC., and a creamery
where milk can be pasteuriZed.
The big farm is held in trust. 1t is
strictly stock farm and to be used
for any other purpose would spoil the
plans of it's originator There are
fine barns where the cattle may be
separated. There are 300 or 400 acres
under cultivation, where corn will be
raised for ensilage.
1t is said that 500 to 600 head of
cattle could be cared for on the farm
The sanitary board is anxious to es-
tablish the experiment farm as soon
as possible, as several herds of regis
tered cattle have been discovered to
be tubercular.

The season for the taking of black
bass does not open until June Is, but
Oswego bass, green bass and yellow
bass may be caught as early as May
20. These laws appear to conflict, be-
cause the large mouthed black bass is
the same fish as the Oswego bass and
green bass and the small mouthed
black bass the same as the yellow bass.
Because of this, the attorney general
advises all courts to give the law a

lie the benefit of any doubt that may
