Two months ago the directors and
policies committee Of the Commercial
club held a special meeting for the
purpose OF discussing good roads aud
road-bond issue. Al the next reg
ular meeting the policies committee
submitted report recommending
action looking toward bonding the
county for permanent road construc-
ton, and a committee was appointed
10 ascertain proper location and prob
able cost OF such roads TO connect the
| different towns and localities OF the
county. together with a committee of
legal talent TO prepare petitions for
a bond election. Later tho club elec-
ted and sent delegates TO attend the
Park-to-Park highway meeting ut

s6s2,ss4 VERDICT
FOR BRADLEY FIRM
Contractors Win Suit Against
New York City for Losses
on Abandoned Tubes.

A verdict OF s6s2.ss421 in favor OF
the Bradley Contracting Company and
against the city of New York was re-
turned late yesterday afternoon by a
jury in Justice Donnelly's part OF the
Supreme Court. where an action for the
recovery of approximately $4,000, 900,
claimed by the plaintiffs had been In
progress for nearly two weeks. A mo-
tion to have the verdict set aside on the
ground that 1t was excessive and con-
trary to tho weight Of evidence was de-
MED by Justice Donneliy.
The action of the plaintiff was based
upon contract awarded to It. by the
city for the construction Of a section of
the subway under Lexington avenue
from Twenty-sixth 70 Forty-hrst street,
This contract was abrogated by the city
in 1913. when the Public Service Com
mission decided to abandon the so-called
triborough subway plan and adopt the
present dual system plan, in cooperation
with the Interboroush and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit companies.
Before orders for the abandonment
OF the work were given the Bradley Con.
tracing Co. had made considerable

by virtue OF the contract awarded II by
the city. Failure of the city to live VI
to its agreement It was contended caused
the contracting company to go through
bankruptcy. Unless the verdict awarded
yesterday is reversed the judgment will
go a long way towards hehabiiitatinl
the company.
The jury explained that OF the tota
amount awarded. ;5S2.719.50 was fol-
prospective profits. The balance wal
for money expended IN construction In
excess of payments made by the city
while the work was in progress. The
verdict provided that the judgment
should include interest as the court may
direct. This provision was agreed upor
by attorneys for both sides. Thomas F

Mr.. Whitman, declared emphstically
he had never heard OF such n thing

Mr.. Moss went on to explain:

Senator Bufiinsame broke IN TO say
that he did not think q single member

But Mr. Moss persisted and went on
to inquire after much sparring as to
whether the Governor did not propose

= FEW ADVERTISERS FAIL

Most of us are willing to believe
statements made by the mercantile
agencies of Bradstreet and Dun. The
whole nations looks 10 these great
houses for the truth, consequently it
is interesting to note that according
to figures compiled by them only 16
percent of business failures are
among advertisers. while 81 per cent
of all business failures are among
firms who do not advertise.
Now this covers the whole country
and the truth of It applies to the
smallest merchant as well as the lar
gest. 1t ought to Seath a great les
son because by far the greatest per-
centage of all business failures is
among the small-town merchants,
which plainly proves that the small
town merchants are not using public
ity as they should.
Let us hope thst the merchant, the
publisher and the banker everywhere
will take this fact home to themselves
talk it over and solve the problem
by making the advertising expendi-
lures for this year very much larger
than ever before. n

STEEL DRUM REMOVES BARK
Labor-Savins Device That Docs the
Work Of Many Men, and Docs u
Rapidly and Well.

A new labor-saving device employed
by pulp manufacturer is a big re-
volving drum IN which a pumber of
logs are placed and tumbled about un.
til all the bark has been removed, pre-.
pnratory to grinding them up for pulp.
This method of handling, says Elec-
trical Experimental, does away with
the task of removing the bark with
knives. The drum is 80 feet long and
about 10 feet in diameter, and is COM
posed of angle-iron strips fastened in
side metal hoops, one edge of each
strip projecting inward and throwing
the logs about. Not only does the
drum dispense with the labor of sew
eral men, but 1t saves a considerable
amount of wood which Is wasted by re-
moving the bark in the old way. The
labor involved in handling the logs is
further reduced by using a conpeyor
which brings them to the drum and
carries them away. ~

might help fight the battle of civiliza-
ton and defeat the selfish ambitions
Of the people of the German nation.

carried some thirty thousand of these
men, and for nearly fourteen days it

these men crowded into the hold Of
small ships that they might the more
quickly go to the rescue Of that civili-
cation for which we were fighting; I
saw them as they were tossed about
by the terrific seas driven by gales that
reached maximum of 100 miles an
hour; l saw them die Of exposure as
the seas beat In upon them saw their
bodies consigned to the waters of the
broad Atlantic; In the convoy with
which | crossed one of the ships went
down in the storm, carrying with 1t
nearly five hundred of these Ameri-
can soldiers.
And these things happened because
the German people had run amuck,
driven to 1t by selfish ambition for
world domination and loot.
Are these people to escape just

ment?

But Germany has ships and prop

can pay part. Germany's ships
should be given to the neutral nations
to replace those the German U-boats
destroyed. Germany should be forced
to recompense these nations ton for
ton so far as her merchant marine will
accomplish that. Germany's ship yards
and German labor should be forced to
build more ships with which to replace
the merchant vessels Of both neutral
and allied nations sunk by German
submarines.
German labor should be put to work

CONTINUOUS CROPPING
ENCOURAGES FIELD PESTS

Growing the same crop on the same
land each year encourages the pests
of that crop to develop. Whether the
pests are insects or diseases makes lit
tie difference; they increase in both
quantity and variety. The reason is
plain. Bacteria or fungi which cause
the diseases may live in the soil from
one season to the next. Insects may
hibernate in the soil, ready to attack
the next years crop. Crop rotation
is a practicable means of defeating
the attacks of the pests for a short
time. This means growing on the
land a crop not affected to any great
extent by the pests of the former crop.
This is possible in the field, but not
so easy in the garden, where all the
space is planted each year. Spraying
has no effect on the bacteria and fun
gi in the soil. For these reasons, eff
fort should be made to develop strains
or to select varieties resistant to the
pests, says ]. T. Rosa, Jr., of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture.
Fortunately, a small portion of the
plants are usually able to resist many
of the diseases. By saving seed from
such plants it may he possible to de-
velop varieties which are immune to
certain diseases. This has already
been done in several cases. Tomatoes
have been developed which can resist
the wilt disease, and melons, sweet
potatoes, and eggplants have also
been developed which are immune to
wilt. One variety of asparagus has
been found desistant to the rust di-
sease. Some varieties of potatoes are
much less affected by tipburn than
others.
The cabbage "yellows" disease has
also been reduced in some sections by
growing resistant strains. During
the past summer the "yellows" disease
showed up for the first time serious
ly in Missouri. Gardeners and COM
mercial growers in widely scattered
parts of the State suffered serious loss
on this important vegetable crop, yet
in every case there was a small num-
Der of plants which remained healthy
and developed good heads in spite of
the disease. Advantage is being tax
en- of this fact, and the Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station is now attempting to
develop varieties of cabbage resistant
to "yellows" by growing seed from
these healthy plants. However, grow
ing cabbage seed is rather compli-
Gated matter, because the plant is a
biennial, and requires two years to
form seed.
1t will soon be time to sow early
cabbage seed in the hotbeds. The hot
bed is often the source of infection and
disseminates diseases to the field. 1t
is wise to use fresh soil from the
woods or from a field where cabbage
has never been grown. 1t is also best
to disinfect the cabbage seed before
planting, by soaking Is minutes in
corrosive sublimate solution, made by
dissolving five tablets in a quart of
warm water. This will go far toward
preventing the black rot disease,
which destroys many of the plants in
the early part of the season. Then,
too, cabbage should be grown as far
as possible on land that has not pro-
duced cabbage for several years pre-
vious. Such land is not likely to be
infected either with "yellows" or black
rot.
