PLANT NUT-BEARING TREES
How Half-Barren Acres and Road
sides Can Be Turned Into a
Source of Revenue.

There is county in England
where all the roadsides have been
planted to damson plums, which have
not only made the landscape more
beautiful, but furnished many tons of
plums that were picked half ripe for
the manufacture of dyes that became
scarce owing to the war.
If such a movement as this had been
taken in this country in the planting
of nut trees in former years, our road
sides would be more beautiful, the
country more healthful, the farmer
more independent, having these crops
that require little labor and that could
be marketed at leisure. Our soldiers
might have had sealed cartons Of nut
meats included in their rations on the
European battle fronts that would
have been very acceptable US food and
have added little weight to their packs.
Unfortunately the tree has not been
much used as yet for crops yielding
staple food in places where men till
the soil. They begin with crops which
return annual results in exchange for
labor. Now that the crops from an
nual plants are becoming smaller
every year in proportion to the in
creased number of inhabitants, men
will set great trees at work upon mil
lions of half barren acres. These trees
will return a larger ,Icft for less Ia
Dor than would be required for annual
plant crops. People have not found it
out as yet.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

PAINT is GOOD INVESTMENT
Apart From Appearances, II Actually
Adds to the Value of the House
and Barn.

A prominent banker makes the
statement that he is influenced in lend
ing money to people by the appearance
of their property. If their houses,
barns and other buildings are painted
as often as necessary in order to give
them spick-and-span appearance, he
feels that they are better risk than
those who do not paint their buildings
and let them go to rack and ruin
through neglect.
1t is a condition in almost all mort
cages on buildings that the buildings
shall be insured, for the protection of
the lender against fire. Some lenders
buildings shall be kept painted at reg
ular intervals. This is wise precau-
ton, as building can deteriorate from
lack of paint so as to lose large part
of its value in few years. In way,
paint is also fire protection, since it
is the slow combustion Of the oxygen
and other elements in the air that
causes the decay Of building material.
Besides, If for any reason it is de-
sired to sell a property, the prospective
purchaser can easily be induced to pay
higher price for well-painted house
than Tor a shabby one. A good buyer
looking over a shabby property is quick
to assume that the owner is bankrupt
or badly in need Of money If his prop
erty has a rundown appearance and
makes his offer accordingly. If it is
neatly painted, however, he assumes
that the owner is prosperous and hest
tates to make an under-value bid. In
short, in case of sale, coat of paint
will bring a price enough higher than
could be obtained for an implanted
building to more than cover the cost
of painting.
Therefore, any way we look at 1t,
paint is a good investment for prop
erty owner.

Tree Screen Routed Billboard.

The planting of a tree screen is a
way of suppressing billboards that has
been tried with success on one boule-
ward in Boston. Directly across the
way from a dignified hotel that spe-
cializes largely in long-term guests, a
huge boarding was erected some ten
years ago. 1t was built to last % years,
with oak posts and sheet-iron panel
ing. The hotel proprietor obtained
permission from the city to set out in
front of the billboard lot a row of
good-sized young poplars. Now the
proprietor of the billboard has re-
moved his ugly structure to another
place. where it will be seen and, In his
opinion, do him some good. What a
public benefactor is the gentleman who
made eight graceful trees to flourish
where once a blatant billboard made
desolate the view !-Christian Science

BENEFITS FROM ROAD DRAGS
Projections Are Scraped of Roadway
and Low Places Filled In, Thus
Turning Water.

The graded road can be kept in the
best condition with the least labor by
using the road drag. The road drag
scrapes off the projections and fills
up the low places, thus leaving no
places for water to stand, which is
what causes the road bed to soften
and be cut into ruts. A persistent
use of the road drag will keep the
road bed well crowned, smooth and
hard, and this will also result in the
least dust, as the dust comes large
ly from the grinding up of the ruts and
rough places left by the horses feet

ROAD COURTESY
AIDS MOTORIST
Spirit of Kindly Feeling Adds
Greatly to Joy of Motoring
in Country.
HELP OUT STRANDED DRIVER
Especial Need Of ChIvalrous Attitude
on Part of Experienced Operator
Women Not Skilled In Cop
ing With Trouble.

One of the big pleasures of modern
motoring lies in the fact that whether
the trip is for 100 or 1000 miles, the
motorist has every reason to feel sure
that he will finish his journey without
having to climb out of his car to I'M
dertake the disagreeable job of making
repairs on the road.
But now and then some mishap oc-
ours, and a courtesy of the road that
all motorists can extend with little in
convenience to themselves Is an offer
of help to fellow motorist whose car
has become stranded. Such an offer
is particularly timely If the scene of
the mishap is some point whose re-
moteness from a garage would make 1t
difficult to get assistance.
Owners Caught Unawares.
Even the most careful owners are
caught, unawares at times and find
themselves far from home and minus
some tool that is essential to making
repair. For instance, not so long
ago. a man who prides himself on his
equipment got a puncture on lonely
country road. He felt he had no cause
for worry, for locked on the back of
his car were two new tires ready for
Just such an emergency.
But when he went to get one of
these tires he could not find the key
to the lock. He was just getting ready
to wreck the lock when car drew
I'D with an offer of assistance. 1t hap
pened that the good Samaritan had
KEY that opened the lock, and put an
end to the difficulty.
Many Women UnskIIled.
With the number of women drivers
rapidly increasing, some of them not
skilled In coping with tire trouble or
bad ignition, there is an especial need
of chivalrous attitude on the part of
experienced drivers. The women prob
ably ought not to be driving at all I'M
less they know enough about car to
be able to make simple repairs, but
the fact remains that some are without
the requisite knowledge. Moreover,
equal suffrage has not yet reduced
woman to the status of man to the
point where the average male would be
able to square himself with his con-
science If he paid no heed to woman
in distress.
In order to extend an offer to this
sort 1t is not necessary to go through
lot OF formality--a mere wave OF
the hand will frequently serve the pur-
pose. But 1t is this spirit of kindly
courtesy that adds to the joy of motor
ing and increases the pride of motor
lists In their class.

with various kinds Of coarse aggre-

The investigation of subgrade ma
terials, started few months ago with
the cooperation of the district en-
gineers and state engineers, Is pro-
ceeding at very satisfactory rate.
A number of samples have been re-
ceived from various parts of the coun-
try and laboratory analyses Of many
Of these samples are partially COM
pIeted. The methods being used by
the division of tests will shortly be
published as paper so that any
other laboratories wishing to conduct
similar investigations may have some
guide as to the method of procedure
being followed by the bureau of pub
lie roads.
The samples analysed have been
taken from parts of the roads that
have failed very badly as well as from
adjacent parts of the same roads that
have withstood heavy traffic success
fully. 1t is hoped that by compari-
son of the laboratory results on these
samples with the reported behavior of
the road in service differences in the
subgrade materials will become ap-
parent so that we will be able to say
what physical characteristics soils
must possess to give them high bear
ing value.

PROPER LOCATION FOR ROAD
mong Other Things Consider Easy
Grades, Good Drainage and Eimi-
nation of Culverts.

Some Of the things to be considered
IN locating a road are easy grades.
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number of farms
to be served for a given length of road.
Whenever possible to avoid it, good
location should not be rejected merely
because certain roadway has been In
use for some time. If the location of
a used road is bad it should be
changed If possible. In relocating
roads avoid railroad crossings at
grade.

A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-

A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
