THE VICIOUS CIRCLE" IN
OPERATION.

1t is worth inquiring what in
evitably will be the effect of in
creasing wages and reducing
hours Of employment Of indus
trial workers. There is nothing
fictional about the vicious cir
Gle" of advancing wages and en-
HANGING costs Of nessaries Of life.
There can be no question, either,
that the growing attractlveness
Of industrial employment is in
large degree responsible for the
drift of men from the country to
the cities. The day cannot be re
mote in the future when require
ments of consumers will overtake
the supplies of foodstuffs which
the lessened number of farmers
can produce. 1t is fantastic to
hold that the city workers are
digging a pit of trouble into
which they will fall?
A dav or two ago some 10000
painters and decorators, moving
men and plumbers went on strike
in New York TO enforce demands
Of various sorts. The painters,
who have five-day week of eight
hours a day are asking an increase
Of 81, from SO to $40 day. The
moving men demand a 44-hour
week instead Of the nine-hour day,
and nine holidays a year instead
Of the eight they have been en-
ioying. together with an increase
of wages of from So to 80 a week.
The plumbers are contending for
a 44-hour week, 50 a day, 10 hol-
idays year, advance notice OF
new work to be done Of half a
days pay If such notice is not
given, and that employers shall
do no work on a job unless they
are union members in good stand
ing.
OF the reasonableness of any
of these demands we express no
opinion. What, though, must be
the psychological effect of them
on people in the rural districts'
There is no such thing as an eight
or nine-hour day ON the farm. As
for a fiye-day week. there could
be nothing of the sort for the peo-
pie who produce our foods. And
nine or 10 holidays a year are in
the same categry. Agriculture is

RETAINING FLAVOR IN MEAT
Sometimes Partially Accomplished BY
Soaring Exterior, Preventing
Escape Of juices.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
1t is extremely difficult to retain the
flavor-giving qualities in piece Of
meat so tough as to require prolonged
cooking. It is sometimes partially ac-
complished by first soaring the ex-
terror Of the meat and thus preventing
the escape Of the juices. Another way
is to let them escape into the gravy
which Is served with the meat itself,
illustrated In the following recipe for
round steak on biscuits:
Cut round steak into pieces about
one-half inch square, cover with water
and cook at temperature just below
the boiling point until 1t is tender, or
boil for five minutes, and while still
hot put into 9 fireless cooker and leave
it for five hours. Thicker the gravy
with flour mixed with water, allowing
two level tablespoonful to q cup Of
water. Pour the meat and gravy over
split baking-powder biscuits. 80 baked

Considerable excitement spread over
Wahpeton when Thomas Black walked
into district court and confessed his
guilt to an. offense for which Edward
Rawlins was being held. Rawlins was
charged with robbing the Farmers
State bank, of Christine. Black told
the Judge that Rawlins was innocent,
that he and another man were the
perpetrators. He said further that he
was one of the two men engaged in a
gun battle with the sheriff's posse
following a robbery near the State
School Of Science. Black was sentenc-
ed to two years in the penitentiary.

GOOD
ROADS
KEEP EARTH ROADS IN SHAPE
Engineer Of Wisconsin Highway Com
mission reIls Benefits Of Patrol
system Of Maintenance.

Earth roads will be In existence
over wide areas for many years to
come. notwithstanding the rapid extern
sion Of permanent" road beds of diff
ferent materials.
Mr.. F. Sergeant, division engineer
Of the Wisconsin highway commission,
writes:
"After a seasons experience with
the patrol system Of maintenance In
division No. Z, where we have prac.
tically all earth roads, I am more than
lever convinced that this type Of road
can be fairly well maintained by this
system, even where subject to consid-
cradle heavy motor traffic.
"A patrol section should not be more
than six or seven miles in length ana
should be taken care Of by one man
with team. This man should be held
responsible for the condition of his
section at all times and should be re-
quired to devote all of his time to the
work.
"The patrolman must have good
team. and the wagon box equipped
with a dump bottom. The county
should furnish light twO-horse blade
grader, road plane, pillow, scraper and
necessary small tools, such as shovel,
pick, bar, brush scythe, rake, etc.
I'm spite of all the claims made for
the road drag as maintenance tool,
we find the light blade grader or the
road plane far superior to 1t, and we
advocate the use of these tools entire
" for road maintenance. We find that
road drag having no bearing except
on the blade, has tendency to gOuge
out the material in soft spots making
them still deeper, and giving the road
a bad, wavy surface, while the blade
grader or the road plane, having q
long wheel base or bearing surface,
cuts only on the high spots and dis
tributes the material in low places,
building them up and giving the road
q nice, smooth, driving surface. A
blade grader should be SO constructed
that one man can drive the team and
make all adjustments necessary while
the machine is moving, as only one
man is, required on this work.
IAN earth road with low. crown and
badly sodded shoulders cannot be
properly maintained by the patrolman.
but should be first trimmed up with .
heavier outfit, cutting of and femov-
Ing heavy sods, properly heaping up
the crown, filling low places and open
ing up drainage.
1.-The blade grader should not be
used on earth roads when they are
sloppy, but should be used % soon %
the material Is dry enough to roll nice
ly on the blade, and pack into the ruts
and depressions. And no great amount
of material should be moved at one
time; a quarter or half inch cut IL suf-
icient for the best results, furnishing
all the material that the blade can dis
tribute evenly. Under ordinary wealth.
