RIVERS AND HARBORS
OFFICIAL BOARD
To Hold Meeting In Washington, De-
cemher Z. Planning For
Convention

No convention of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress was held in
1917 and none will be held this year.
II was decided early in October that it
would be the wise and patriotic course
to hold no more conventions during
the war At that time the sudden
close of the war was not forseen, and
the time left between the signing of
the armistice and the regular date of
holding the convention was too short
for making the necessary arrange
ments.
A meeting of the Official Board will
be held in Washington on Saturday,
December Z. at which time it will be
decided whether to call a convention
early in the coming year or to wait
until the regular time in December.
In any event the nationwide campaign
of education, which he Congress has
been carrying on for more than twelve
years. will be continued.
I Ii was demonstrated beyond all
question during the war that the rail-
roads alone can not meet the traffic
needs of the country One result was
to throw upon the highways a burden
which they were not built to carry.
Some roads were cut completely to
pieces and it is probable that $780,
1000, 900 is a conservative estimate OF
the total damage caused to the high
ways by the heavy loads carried at
high speed by motor trucks.
4 1t has always been recognized by
,sthe Congress that the highway. the
railway and the waterway make up
a trinity of transportation agencies,
which must not only be symmetric-
ally developed but completely co-or-
dinated before we can utilize all our
natural resources and so attain the
maximum expansion of industry and
commerce and produce continued in
crease of national prosperity and ma
tional power.
During the past eighteen months
our willingness to devote tens of bill
lions of dollars to purposes of de-
struction and ii is safe to prophesy
that, after the treaty of peace is sign
ed. we will devote billions of dollars
to constructive work One of the
things that must be done is to provide
a great increase of transportation IA
cilities, and, unless we ignore the les
sons that the war has taught, we shall
do more than ever before for the i'm
provement and the use of our water
ways and harbors," says the commit.

PROTECT THE FUTURE
SAYS THE BISHOP

The Right Reverend John Gardner
Murray, Bishop of Maryland, in his
Thanksgiving sermon Thursday at the
Pro-Cathedral, Baltimore, defined what
should be the position and action of
Christianity in connection with the re-
adjustment of the affairs of the nation
and of the world Bishop Murray said
that the men responsible for the world
war should be placed on trial before a
bar of justice, and that, if interna-
tional law makes no provision for such
procedure at the forthcoming peace
table, plans should be formulated
whereby justice can be melted to the
guilty, should the world ever again be
plunged into a similar war
THE victory we have won," said
Bishop Murray, lis victory won by
Christianity, and that Christianity
must have a voice, and proclaim
through that voice in the loudest tones
it possibly can the manner in which
we are to act in the adjustment of
peace problems, which are possibly
more important that the war prob
lens were"
While we do not belong to the
school of retaliation, and cannot do to
the Central Powers the things that the
Central Powers did to Belgium and
France, because, in doing so, we would
be putting ourselves in the place of
those whom we are condemning, and
because also we would be embarrass-
ing and Gripping them in doing what
they ought to do-that is, restore and
make restitution to the last dollar
Those who are responsible, not for
the war, because it is the inherent
right of every government to declare
war, but for the murder, mayhem,
rape and arson which have been COM
mitted, should be indicted for those
crimes. There are rules and regula-
tions that are just as well established
for the conduct of war as there are
moral precepts for the conduct of life.
and men who ahve ruthlessly and flag
rantly violated those laws should be
tried and made to suffer the penalty
under the execution of the law. No
outlawry of any kind should be in
dulged in, but the method pursued
should vindicate law, dignity it and
enthrone it,
Peace Treaty Should Provide 1t
IF under the existing provisions of
international law, that is impossible,
then in the treaty Of peace there should
be provision for all future cases of
that kind, so that those in authority,
responsible for the violation of inter-
national law, could be held just as an
individual in the ordinary walk of life
is held, for violation of established
law and order"

certainly true that the French had
the best roads in the world when the
war broke out and that the men and
supplies which checked the first Ger
man rush went forward largely by
motor. 1t is also true that break
down of all transportation facilities
prevented Russia from effectually mo-
bilizing her tremendous resources.
There is now federal Office of good
roads, operating under the federal
road act, whereby the government ap-
propriates funds for roads, provided
the states In which the roads are to
be built will appropriate similar
amount. This gives the government
the power to recommend the improve
ment or building of certain roads and
to disapprove the improvement or
building Of others. 1t may exercise a
sort Of advisory and mildly compul-
sorry power toward the establishment
Of unified national system Of roads.
But this power, 1t is argued, is by no
means sufficient in an emergency like
the present. What is needed is the
power to form definite plan for a
system Of national highways, and the
funds to carry that plan into execu-
tion as rapidly as possible.
For this new national system of
highways must not only be thorough
ly co-ordinated, but must be radically
different from that of most of our
present roads. The failure of these
latter is largely due to the fact that
roads which sufficed very well for the
traffic Of light pleasure cars and farm
ers' wagons will not stand up under
the strain Of heavy truck traffic. A
truck highway, to meet the require
ments now being laid upon it, must be
a paved highway with concrete base.
Such a road is very expensive to
build; it costs from $4,000 to $4,000
mile.

SUFFERING CATS!

No humbug! Any corn, whether

This drug is called freezone and 10
compound of ether discovered by a

Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle Of freezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but Is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callous.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses but Bhrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.

ness or smartlng when applying II or

A few days ago a big government

rut on the road between Washington

tried to get around it from one direc-

from the other direction. Both of
these also stuck. Soon this over

was jammed with squawking cars and

better part of a day, with the result
that war work was delayed, suburb

Washingtonians were unable to reach
the Maryland oasis.
This incident is no special discredit
to the Maryland roaa builders. The
Observation-Disclosures road was not
built for the amount and kind of traffic
it is now bearing. The same is true
of many other highways in all parts of
the country. More and more motor
trucks are taking over what used to
be "short haul" railroad freight. And

part of the. country is stacked; and
the comparatively large acreages
grown, plentifulness of horses, scare
| ty of farm labor, and desire to make
| hay with the least amount of hand la
Dor were incentives to the use of these
two machines.
Push rakes, also known as "bull
rakes," "go DEVILS" "slip-arounds,"
consist of wheelless, two, three and
four-wheel types. They are capable
of handling from 600 pounds to ton
of hay, depending upon the type, the
skill of the driver and the team.
There are several kinds of stackers,
the overshot and swing-around being
the most common. Homemade stack
ers are of various kinds, such as "gin-
poles," derrick stackers of different
kinds and inclines for handling hay
from the large one-ton push rakes.
The push rake and stacker make an
admirable combination, since nearly
all of the work of getting the hay from
the field to the stack is done by horse
power. The push rake takes the hay
from the windrow or bunch to the
stack, where 1t is dropped on the
stacker and elevated onto the stack
by horses.
These implements can be used with
small crews, consisting of two men, up
to crews of twelve or more men.
BaIing Hay in the Field.
In system four the hay is baled in
the field and push rakes and power
press are used.
The practice of baling in the field
from the windrow began In the semi
arid middle West, where there Is but
little danger of rain interfering. 1t
has long been believed that hay is not
in condition to be baled until 1t has
gone through the "sweat" in the barn
or stack. This process is usually fin
ished from three to six weeks from the
time the hay is made.
In the West, growers Of prairie and
alfalfa hay for the market realized
that If it were possible to bale hay
from the windrow a considerable saw
ing Of time and labor could be made.
This saving would consist of large
part Of the cost Of putting the hay
into the stack. They also began to
doubt the necessity of allowing the
hay to go through the "sweat" before
it could be safely baled. Repeated tri-
ais and careful study have shown that
a good quality of hay can be made
when baled from the windrow under
certain conditions. At the present
time hay is being baled from the cock
in parts of the South.
Conditions Should Be Right.
Hay baled from the windrow often
spoils so badly that 1t becomes unfit
for feeding. This trouble Is some
times experienced by beginners and
more especially when alfalfa or other
legume hay is baled. There are three
causes for this. First, the hay will
not keep unless 1t is well cured in the
field, it being necessary to cure 1t out
more thoroughly than when it Is to be
put into the stack. Second, hay that
is baled when partly wet with dew or
rain is very liable to spoil. Third, hay
Is liable to spoil when the bales are
improperly stored by being packed
away close together. In many cases If
the bales are placed on edge with an
air space of an inch or two between,
and the next layer placed crosswise
with spaces there will be much less
danger of hpating and sDOlinp
