Firth and Goshen has nearly all been
top-coated with Goshen gravel and
1t makes quite a perfect roadbed.
People who have been studying 1t are
generally of the opinion that II is
worth while to top-coat all the good
grades in the county with that ma
terial because it hardens and remains
in position. Bingham county is very
fortunate in having a deposit of that
Kind of material and it is all the
more valuable because it does not
possess that peculiar grit that wears
cut the tires so rapidly. Bannock
county has deposits of good road ma
terial that stay in position very well,
not so good as the Goshen gravel,
but it contains grit that cuts the
tires while the Goshen gravel does
not. People who are interested in
the study of road building should
take drive over the Firth-Goshen
road and note the kinds of materials
used and how constantly it stays in
place. 1t costs only fraction of the
amount that is required for laying
the bitulithic.

KAISER'S PETS ARE 4
IN SAD PREDICAMEAT
Former Privileged Officers OF
Wilhelm Have Difficulty in
Finding Work. @

No one In Germany signs more fer
vently for "the good old days" when
the kaiser held sway than the former
army officer. Forced off the govern
ment pay roll. unframed for work
other than soldering, and so generally
disliked by the population that he has
difficulty in finding any kind of en-
ployment, the officers lot In democrat
ic Germany is hard one. His prewar
world, In which he strutted about as
the privileged pet Of his emperor, has
been utterly destroyed.
A former officer. dolefully discussing
his plight, remarked that the express
sion once current In the United States,
I There's no good Indian but dead
Indian" applied precisely to the Ger
man public's attitude toward the Off
Ger class. .a
Private soldiers bear out this state
ment. AT the beginning of the war;"
one said, "the troops were fond OF
their officers. who ate the same food.
carried their own packs and shared
the 'hardships of the men. But most
of the regular officers were quickly
killed off, and those left were sent
away from the lines for staff and other
duties. m i,
"Their places we're taken by re-
serves, who were an entirely different
lot They had to have special kitchens
and milk and plenty Of wine. They
refused to march with the troops, al
ways riding in automobiles and max
ing the men carry their packs. They
were DULLES and tyrants and the men
grew to hate them. The civilian popu-
lation felt the same way. I was in
Belgium when the armistice was
signed, and when we withdrew to the
Rhineland the people there were will
ing enough to provide lodgings for the
privates, but they refused to have the
officers in their homes"
In a number Of cases ex-officers
have found themselves inadvertently
applying for work to the very privates
they once commanded. These former
soldiers, business men and shopkeep-
ers, take keen delight, it is said, in
turning down their old superiors.
After the first revolution 1t was
risky thing for an officer to appear on
the streets In uniform. They were
emboldened by the Kapp coup last
March, and since then have been
themselves in increasing num-
bers, especially student reserve off,
GERS, who are easily identified by their
pale faces, marked by saber cuts re-
ceived in duels.

WOMEN JURORS NEXT

CINCINNATI, Ohio.-From the
viewpoint of voting, are women
"judicious and discreet"
If so, then women, under the OPP
Grafton of the federal suffrage
amendment, may serve on juries.
Common Pleas Judge John A.
Caldwell, here, believes there is no
question as to the right of women to
serve on juries after the new amend
ment goes into effect. h a
Whether Ohio women will sit in
the jury box depends upon the jury
commissioners.
The law empowers these commits
sioners in each county to fill the jury
wheel from time, to time with names
of "judicious and discreet electors"

BIG LESSONS
TO LEARN 4

The people OF our, county have a
big lesson to learn in road building
The people Of every county hare the
same lesson to learn but we are not
so much concerned about the other
fellows as what'we shall do at home.
A recent report of the statisticians
on the subject of road building and
road maintenance combined with the
subject Of the ever increasing wear
on the roads due to the multiplica-
tlon of the number of automobiles
manufactured and put into use,
shows that this matter of road con-
struction and maintenance is one Of
the great big questions confronting
the American people. The man who
understood road building, as it was
recognized ten years ago was far be-
hind in the race If he did keep up the
study in connection with the new
vehicles, and fell behind in the race
in two or three years. The tremend-
GUS amount Of study that has been
devoted to roads In the last ten years
has covered q wider breach in infor-
nation than was covered perhaps in
a thousand years before that Road
building and maintenance as 1t was
recognized five years ago is not what
is recognized by experts today be-
cause Of the tremendous change.
Vehicles are changing SO rapidly in
weight, numbers and speed that peo-
pie have got to face a great big prob
lem and If they do not solve it, it
will result in great sacrifices to those
who neglect it. A few years ago we
were ambitious to get our roads
graded SO that we should not have
to drive thru the low places; now we
do not feel satisfied with continuous
grades across the country. They
must be crowned and top-coated. We
no sooner get roads top-coated today
than we want them finished off with
bitulithic and not without reasons.
Once the bitulithic or similar finish
is put on, the expense for main
tenance cases for number of years.
In the towns where the bitulithic
paving has been in use for several
years, it has always been ready for
service, never anything wrong with
it and never any expense for main
tenance. But it is not claimed that
1t continues indefinitely.
1t wears out or shows defects in
time and must be repaired. 1t is
acknowledged every where in our
county that that is the only kfhw Of
roads We have that do not call for |
almost ccmsaanr treatment or repair
ing.

REUNION OF JOHNS

LITTLE DUTIES 1.
TO BE DONE

L
complaining about the officers not
keeping everything up in "apple pie
order should look along the roads
bordering their property and see If
there is any thing they could do in
dividually. There is an east and
west road couple of miles north of
Basalt, where there has been waste
water running periodically across the
road in front of mans house for six
or eight years, perhaps longer.
Whenever the property owner irri-
gates, some more water runs across
the road. It has washed out gully
that makes the travelling public take
the choice of slowing down and get
ting over on low gear or going across
at high speed and being bumped and
take the risk Of breaking springs or
other things about their cars. 1t
seems that the owner of this prop
erty will never get tired of keeping
that road in bad condition. We
don't know whether he complains
about the county officers not doing
their duty in any respect, but we do
know that it is an injustice to the
travelling public to have the gully
across the road all the time.
A little work on his part would
remedy the situation and prevent
its happening again in the future.
There are many of these things con-
fronting property holders all over
the county that are small in them
selves, could be easily remedied, but
which do great damage to the travel
ing public, and it does not hurt any
one to give some attention to these
things. 1t is not enough for a man
to say that that is the duty of the
county or road superintendent or
somebody else to fix; it is easier for
him to fix it and perhaps he owes
it to the county to keep the matter
in repair. Even If it is not, 1t does
not hurt him to remedy the trouble.
There is section of road between
the Pingree and Springfield country
that is said to be quite "chucky"
this summer. The commissioners
did their part in making arrange
ments to have the whole line of roads
dragged after each rain and that |
section was not dragged |
according to agreement. It is not |
he fault of the officers that the road |
s "chucky'' but it is the fault of the |
nan who agreed to drag the road
lfter the rains and did not carry out
lis agreement. 1t is very plain
of the value Of drag
ring roads after the rains to keep I
he holes and the chucks filed up
md the ground packed. Several
ections of roads that have been
ragged, sprinkled and rolled during
he summer present fine demon
tration of the value of that kind of
reatment. People are invited to
watch these things, study them, and
o keep track of the time the roads
emain in good condition after such
treatment, and we shall soon come
o agreement as to what is the best
way to maintain our earth roads to
let the greatest service out of them
Turing the time we are waiting to
tut on the crushed rock top-coating
n the Goshen gravel or the bitulithic
n the cement or whatever is used
o make them more perfect.
