Not once, but upon different occa-

In the matter of using slick sur.

you will just stop few minutes and
check up the number of lives lost

that one little piece of road between

agree with me that to lay such sur

the snow. the rains. the mists and
fogs are almost continuous, and
where, by reason of the topography
OF the land. curvatures are sharp and
grades necessarily heavy. would be
nothing less than criminal.
This road is largely a pleasure
road and people out driving for pleas
ure do not hold their speed down to
eight or ten miles an hour. and it is
not enough to say that carelessness is
ones own fault, for the reason that
there are other drivers on the road
besides the careless fellow. Any
member of commission who would
vote to put anything other than a
non-skid surface. such as is made of
cement concrete. on a road of this
kind would Immediately after the

to that charge: neither am | going

ut appears to me that anyone that

consent to laying these slick surfaces

ways. where there are curvatures or

TO HARMONlzE WITH HOUSE
Grounds Surrounding Structure Must
Be Laid Out Solely With That
Object In View.

The garden surrounding residence
must harmonize with the structure. If
the latter be palace the grounds
should have palatial treatment; If a
simple cottage or bungalow of modest
appearance. a quiet, simple, almost
rustic scene may be made to sur
round the domicile. This argument
may be followed out to its natural con-
clusion by the thought Cor statement)
that if one inhahits natural cave no
gardening would be necessary or even
advisable. Soaring from this basis to
the other extreme, it will readily be
seen that a magnificent home must
have liberal and harmonious treat
ment or 1t, as well as the grounds,
must suffer. Large residences of
pretentious or classical architecture
should be at once planted about with
certain amount of large and preten-
tious trees.

GREAT HELP
TOFARMER
PRESIDENT OF STATE UNIVER-
SITY STATES COST OF FARM
PRODUCTS WILL REMAIN HIGH.

University Of Idaho Moscow, Feb. 4.
There will Ike no reduction in the
cost of farm products during the next
year" This was the information DIR.
f. ii. Lindley, president of the Univer-
sity of Idaho, brought back from the
national convention of land grant col
leges, held at Baltimore, to discuss re-
construction problems How the agri-
cultural colleges can help the farmer
and the relation Of the state university
to the problems Of national reconstruc-
ton were other question discussed by
the presidents of all the large colleges
in the United States.
The department of agriculture has
recently sent commission into the
countries of our allies to study CON
ditions there. This commission report
ed that the cost of farm products will
continue very high said President
Lindley. There is no reduction in
sight for at least year"
The agricultural land grant college
is the result Of reconstruction measures
taken directly after the civil war, ac-
cording to the president, when the ma
/ tion faced situation similar to that
before us today. Industry offered high
wages and comparatively short hours.
The farm boys were drawn to the cities
and legislators realized that unless a
nation has IA good farming population,
it is lost Measures were passed to
form colleges, supported in part by fed
eral appropriation to help the farmers
to get the greatest returns for their
expenditure of time and money The
state agricultural college has resulted
More than 80 per cent of the Idaho
farmers are college men, because of
this movement" declared President
Lindley, land farming has grown into
the class of recognized industries"
That the University of Idaho ranks
second to none in the nation in the de,
gree of the service rendered the food
bureau in increasing the production of
foods is the statement of the secretary
of agriculture, as reported by President
Lindley
The department of agriculture real
iZed that the United States had, in her
land grant colleges. an organization
that could spread the gospel of increas-
ed war production better than any or.
ganization' in any other country. The
good word went out from Washington
and the farmers responded and gave
more than twice the amount asked.
/ warning against relaxing our ideal
ism now that the war is over, was is
sued 10y President Lindley. MANY en-
emies are still with u.s." he said, "di
sease and poverty and social justice
These cannot he cured by our ignoring
them. You cannot cure an influenza

duty and the privilege of institutions OF

the day and send out men and women

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect il
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest fer
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as.
tonshing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However. if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer l. Co., Binehamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.
