Peace Stamps.

President Wilson will soon have the
privilege of seeing his own portrait on
a postage stampI Not a United States
stamp, however, for the pictures Of liv-
ing persons do not appear on this
cOuntry's adhesives. But there is no
law which forbids a foreign country
from thus honOring a living American
and the peace stamps in preparation
in Uruguay-it is understood they al
ready have been issued-bear the por-
traits of President Wilson, President
Poincare of France, the kings OF Eng
land, Belgium and Italy, and portraits
of other rulers of countries associated
IL the war against Germany. This set
will be highly priced by philatelists-

NEED MORE GOOD HIGHWAYS
increase in Thoroughly I'M
proved Roads.

One of the benefits OF the war is
sure to be more good roads in this
country, and in other parts Of the
world where highways have not been
generally and thoroughly improved.
We used to say better roads," but
now there is q large mileage so good
that if the rest were brought up to the
best American level, nothing more
could reasonably be asked. Many
roads in America are quite worthy Of
comparison with any In Europe. All
we need is more of them, and then
still more until the country is grid
ironed and netted with such highways.

HOW DRAGS MAINTAIN RoADS
Simple and inexpensive Device Well
Adapted for Producing Smooth
and Uniform Surface.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture0
The drag is a simple and inexpen-
sfve device for maintaining certain
types of roads which when wet become
rutted under traffic and which become
firm on drying out. 1t is also well
adapted for producing smooth and
uniform surface on newly constructed
roads in which the material used for
surfacing is earth, earthly gravel or
some similar material. It is essential
~ a maintenance implement and its
use in construction is distinctly sec
ondary. Roads which are very rocky
or very sandy cannot be materially i'm
proved by its use.
Properly used at the right time the
road drag performs four distinct Of
fees First, by moving at an angle to
the Travelled way it tends to produce or
preserve crowned cross section. Sec
ond, If used when the material Of the
surface is not compact and hard, 1t
tends to reduce ruts and other irregu-
larities in the road by moving material
from points which are relatively high
to those which are relatively low.
CELEBRATES the drying out Of the road
by spreading out puddies Of water and
thus increasing the surfaces exposed
to evaporation. Fourth, If the surface
material is in a slightly plastic state,
dragging gmears over and partially
seals the so-called pores which nat
urally occur in earthly material, and
thus makes the road surface more or
less impervious to water. The advan-
tage Of this smearing action of the
drag will be more readily understood
if a sample of ordinary earth is ex-
amined under magnifying glass. Such
an examination will show that the
earth closely resembles a sponge or
honeycomb in structure, and the de-
STABILITY Of closing the open pores
will be readily apparent.
IF used improperly or at the wrong
time, the drag may do actual injury to
a road. Dragging very dry road, for
example, serves to increase the guam
tity of dust and may do additional

He despises me-" Then, after a long
silence: "NO matter. 1 despise my
self"
The doctor placed a hand on his
shoulder. But Elden was himself
again. The curtains of his life, which
he had drawn apart for a moment, he
whipped together again rudely, almost
viciously, and covered his confusion by
plunging into tale of how he had led
a breed suspected of embarrassing on
a little canter OF ten miles with a rope
about his neck and the other end tied
to the saddle. HE ran well,'' said the
old man, chuckling still at the reminis-
cence. "And it was lucky he did. It
was strong rope"
The morning after Dave had brought
in the borrowed saddle Irene appeared
in a sort of bloomer suit, somewhat
wonderfully contrived from a spare
skirt, and announced q willingness to
risk life and limb on any horse that
Dave might select for that purpose. He
provided her with dependable mount

gingerly along the principal trail, was

nesses of the foothills and even into
the passes of the very mountains them
selves. His patience was infinite and,
although there were no silk trappings
to his courtesy, it was a very genuine
and manly Difference he paid her. She
was quite sure that he would at any
moment give his life, if needed, to de
fend her from injury-and accept the
transaction as matter of course. His
physical endurance was inexhaustible
and his knowledge of prairie and foot
hill seemed to her almost uncanny. He
read every sign of footprint, leaf, wa
ter and sky with unfaiIing insight. He
had no knowledge of books, and she
had at first thought him ignorant, but
as the days went by she found in him
mine OF wisdom which shamed her
ready-made education.
After such ride they one day dis
mounted in grassy opening among the
trees that bOrdered a mountain canyon.
In crevice they found fat stone that
gave comfortable seating and here
they rested while the horses browsed
their afternoon meal on the grass
