MAcADAM ROAD PROVED BEST
There Are Several Varieties, Changed

For over 4 century now the macadam
road has beer IN use and has proved
itself to be the best all-round road
that can be built. In fact, so good Is II
that all military roads in the war area
in France are of this type. There are
several varieties of it, changed to suit
localities and circumstances. The reglr
lar watcr-bound macadam is, with.
out doubt, the best and safest fol

ROAD .
:. DING i
GOOD WORK OF A ROAD DRAG
implement Should Be Used Properly at
Right Time-Repair All Ruts and
Depressions.

After two days of rain, says writer
in Hoard's Dairyman, we took an
eight-1nile drive out into the country
to buy some pigs. One piece OF road
was like a city boulevard, only better.
Despite its being only a gravel road
there was little mud or water, and one
would have thought that there had
been only rain enough to settle the
dust instead of the big rainstorm. we
inquired and found that two neighbors
had made it practice to alternate IN
going over this road with q road drag
after every rain. Just beyond, we came
20 a piece of road muddy, slippery and
full of chuck holes that sent us up a
mile for every mile covered.
The only difference between these
two pieces of road was road drag
and an hours time spent when held
work could not be done. We estimate
that it took twice as much gasoline 10
cover the undragged road. Multiply
cur experience by the dozens of teams
and autos going over this muddy road,
and then compute the expense of fail
ure to use the road drag that was
doubtless rotting away in some fence
corner.
We do not nov Lave in mind the de-
mands of the good roads extremist, but
are considering what may be done and
what should be done with the common
dirt road. 1t does more harm than
good, as a general rule, to plow up the
sod on the sides of the Travelled track
and pile it up in big Jumps in the cen
ter of the track, leaving them there to
be broken up by passing vehicles, and
the loosened dirt Wa ned away by the
rain or blown away by the wind. Weep

Whv Colds are Dangerous.
You are often told to "beware

You are often told to beware OF
a cold" but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the ritality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia, first take cold.
The longer a cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as a cold prepares the
system for the reception and devel-
opment of the germs of consumption,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and whoop-
ing cough. The quicker you get rid
of your cold, the less the danger Of
contracting one of these diseases.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
great reputation as a cure for colds
and can be depended upon. 1t is
pleasant to take.

trash out of the road bed. 1t merely
decays and makes ready for a splendid
hole to form.
Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. No part of q re-
paired highway should be left until its
surface has been thoroughly and even
ly compacted and shaped to let all the
water run off. And when, as will most
always happen, ruts and depressions
make their appearance, they should be
smoothed down, filed, and well COM
pacted so that water may not remain
iE them to soften the ground and per-
nit further damage by the traffic.
When using the road drag, use il
properly at the right time. Don't 60
out when the road is too wet or too
dry. Take it when the mud will make
good mortar and will puddle down
like the little girls mud cakes or the
maSon's mortar.

THE HOMIE GARDEN
Suggestions For Its Success

Clemson College.-The far-reaching
value of the garden in our national
food supply makes it imperative that
all gardeners, large or small, plan
careful rotative system to use wisely
all garden space that can be worked
The actual need under normal condl-
tions, combined with the present food
shortage, demands that we produce
larger garden crop than ever. Ordi-
narily, the average Southern garden
is a spring, or cne-season producer
few vegetables being available alter
this period Therefore, great care ara
judgment should be exercised IN max
ing consecutive paintings of our more
common vegetables, to furnish sea-
sonal supply with the necessary can
ming surplus.
Tie fundamental principles in good
gardening are: (a) site and sell selec-
ton: (b) advanced planning; (c) deep
and thorough preparation of the soil;
(d) 1udicious liberal application Of fer
tilizers; (e) careful selection and lib
eral planting of seed; d thorough
cultivation; and (g) insect and DIS
ease control.
SITE AND SOIL SELECTION: Or.
dinarily the site and soil condi':Hns,
especially of the city and urban gar
dens, are predetermined by the loca-
ton of the home and the lack of gar
den space; but. conditions permitting.
the site should be southern. eastern.
or southeastern exposure, and should
have ample sunlight and well-drain-
ed, easily TILED soil.
GARDEN PLANNING: Advanced
planning should include every detail
of the garden, and cannot be too
strongly emphasized. The method OF
cultivation is usually determined by
the size and shape Of plot. The one
fourth acre or larger garden gives op-
portunity for horse cultivation: the
one-eighth acre or smaller plot, Tor
hand cultivation. Those vegetables
that can be dried, stored or canned
should have preference over short-sea'
son vegetables, such as lettuce. rad
fishes and mustard. Under present
4conditions. the chief purpose of the
gardener should be to produce as
much real food as possible.

thorough working of the soil prepar
atory to planting is of vital impor
tance in growing any crop. and most

CANADIANS IN ENGLAND
ATTACK POLICE STATION
One Policeman Is Fatally Wounded
in Clash Due to Unrest
Among Soldiers.

LONDON, June 1S.-Unrest among
Canadian soldiers in England because
of continued postponement Of home
ward sailings eliminated last night in
an attack by 400 Canadians on the
Epson police station. Several police
men were wounded, one SO seriously
that he died this morning. The pur-
pose of the attack was to release a
Canadian soldier who had been ar
rested To avoid further trouble the
police release another Canadian in
whom the mob was not interested.
During the last few days there has
been trouble in the Canadian camp at
Whitley, where the soldiers burned
huts and did other damage, according
to reports.
There is much sympathy here for
the Canadians, who repeatedly have
been given dates for homeward sail
ings, only to be told that further post
strikes of dock workers at Liverpool
and other ports or to lack of trans
ports.
The unrest has not been confined to
the Canadians. There also have been
protests by Australians and New
ZealanderS. Some Scottish units, COM
posed of veterans. recently held a DEM
onstration against being sent back to
France while men who had not seen
active service remain in England or
are demobilized.

Representative Royal C. Johnson OF

former Sergt. Hugh Jefferies of the
Esd Engineers. who was wounded and
gassed in the Argonne battle. went TO
Camp Devens to see his comrades of
the late war. and, as l believe, without
authority of law, was summarily ar
rested, searched and his private
papers were confiscated. If this can
be done in a free country, to a free
American citizen. who at the begin
nlng of the war had voluntarily LETT
his wife and four children to fight in
France in the American Army, it is
apparent to me that there is an as
sumption of authority which we cam
not endure. This happens to be the
United States of America and not Eu-
rope, and we will permit of no as
sumption of authority in this country.
