There, is nothing of the coward
about. Farmer Browns Boy. Not a
bit Of it. He had been badly fright
ened by Mother Bear in the berry
patch, but now. he understood the
cause Of her anger and that she really
had been very brave when she
charged at him. And understanding
this he was no longer afraid. So he
planned to return the next day for
the two pals Of berries that in his
excitement he had left there.
He couldn't get away the next
morning, for he had work to do, but
early in the afternoon he drew near
the berry patch at the foot of the
Great Mountain. He wondered If he
would find Buster Bear or Mother
Bear and the cubs there. He hoped
he would. In fact, he was thinking
more Of this, than he was Of recover
ing his two pals of berries.
AS he drew near the berry patch
he was as quiet as possible. He took
note of the direction Of the wind and
took care to keep 1t in his face SO
that 1t would not carry his scent to-
ward the berry patch. Presently he

KU KLUX KHAN.
Press United In Opposition TO Its
Reestablishment.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot re-
Gently denounced the Ku Klux Klan
in an editorial which a group of like
minded southern whites have given
souther11-wide publicity. The papers
Of Knoxville are emphatic in oppos-
ing an attempt to organize the Klan
there, The Sentinel stating that 1--WE
have no place nor demand for such
an organization in the SOUTH" and
that ''the secret method is not the
American way of handling our prob
lems;;" while the Journal and Tribune
declares that the prosperity of the
Klan ''would amount to confession
that we are as people incapable OF
self-government." The Chattanooga
Times spoke to the same effect some
time ago; and Florida has editors of
like mind The Orlando Sentinel
notes approvingly the 'flaying'' of
the Klan by the Jacksonville Times
Union, quoting its opinion that
nothing worse was ever done for
the south than re-establishing this or
der without the existence of any
conditions to justify it, The North
Carolina papers applaud Gov. Morri-
sons attack on the Klan, which he
proposes to run out of the state, as
Gov. Beckett did kindred organiza-
ton before him. The Raleigh News
and Observer, in a vigorous editorial,
says "there is plenty Of room in the
open for those who want more
thorough-going reinforcement.
and no regalia is necessary. Why
wear a mask and work in the night
time to do a worthy thing?" The
Asheville Citizen advises the Klan
that 'there is no place for secret So
cieies that would compel obedience
to law by secret influence" The
Greensboro News, in commencing
the governors wrath, declares that
he would be negligent of his oath of
office if he tolerated any "extra-legal
organization to interfere with the
execution of law"

KEEP ROADS OPEN IN WINTER
Federal Highway Commission sus-
gests That Special Efforts BE
Made by State Officials.

1t is suggested by the federal high
way council that state and county
highway departments make a special
effort to keep the roads clear Of snow
during the winter months and thus
permit Of uninterrupted traffic. The
transportation OF certain commodities
Is really more important during the
winter than In summer and 1t Is then
that the roads are more difficult to
pass over. Then. too, the rural mail
must be carried whether roads are
good or bad, and when the snow drifts
several feet deep over the roads the
life Of the rural mail carrier Is any
thing but pleasant. AS the snow melts
It transforms many roads into mire
that is almost impossible. On any
road, no matter how good, there is a
tendency for the melting snow. to soft
en- the subgrade and loosen the base
under the wearing surface, thus caus-
ing great damage to the road.
Road officials could do nothing bet
ter than to keep their equipment busy
In the winter removing the snow from
the road surfaces. It is one form of
maintenance work that is very essen
tial in lengthening the life and use

WANTED TO HUG MARSHAL
Mans Action Resulted in Adding An
other Regulation to Morality Code
of National Park, N. ].

Philadelphia. Another regulation is
added to the morality code Of Ma
tional Park, N. j. Hereafter it is
against the law for male visitors to
hug the borough marshal while the
latter is on duty.
In consequence Of this ruling by
Recorder Jacob Bentz, a Philadel-
phian, who gave his name as Michael
Mccall, but who refused to say where
he got the stuff that made him act
that way, was fined $3.50
Thomas McCrossen, another Phila-
delphian, who tried to interfere with
the arrest of Mccall, said he wss
sorry and promised never to do it
again. AS he didn't do any hugging he
was discharged.
The marshal Is Henry Weldon. He
was standing near the trolley terminal
when Mccall lurched up and tried to
hug him. Weldon coyly sidestepped,
and then Mccall became exasperated,
and took swing at the marshals jaw,
whereas he was arrested. In the en-
suing scuff1e the marshars shirt was
torn.

Maintaining Soil Fertility.

The latest proof that soils can be
continuously cropped and still main
tain their productive power is to be
found in pamphlet just issued,
Returns on Produce of Crops in
Scotland for 1919," with a similar
statement for crops in Great Britain.
It must be remembered that Scotland
and England have been in cultivation
since the Romans invaded these is
lands. The fields making the yields
reported in this pamphlet have made
hundreds of crops. Yet a compari-
son of their acre yields of standard
crops with similar results obtained
for the same period in the United
States is not fattering. 1t would in
dicate that these old lands are really
better than our virgin soil. Fhe ten
year average for Great Britain shows
that her soils exceeded ours in the
production of wheat by 11.8 bushels,
oats l2.f bushels, barley 8.8 bushels,
potatoes 1924 bushels and 14.7 tons
of hay. For 1919 her excess acre
yield over ours was, wheat 1874 bush
els, oats 10.5 bushels, barley SO
bushels, and hay 8.2 tons.
The explanation of this superiority
of yield is to be found in the fact that
long ago these Scotch and English
farmers were forced to learn the
value of rotation and diversifcation
of crops and the systematic handling
of their farms with view to soil
building together with the part play
ed by livestock in the maintenance
of soil fertility. ss..
So accurately have cropping sys-
TENS been worked out with view Of
what is best for: the farmer, as we'll
as the maintenance of soil fertility

father to son and have been followed
for generations.

Patching Macadamized Road in
Maryland.

has consistently followed this prac-
tice. The originally improved roads
In Maryland were comparatively in
expensive, costing only what the tax
payers were willing to pay for. The
first few years the average cost was
less than $4,000 mile. In some
cases the work entailed considerable
grading and drainage, but in others
it amounted simply to resurfacing the
old turnpikes, which had already
been graded and drained.
Generally the roads built at that
time were macadam, IL feet wide
and six inches thick Soon the width
was increased to Il feet. Later many
were widened still farther, some very
successfully, by adding concrete shoul-
ders on each side Of the existing
macadam. This method Of improving
roads makes 1t possible for traffic to
continue unimpeded on the road while
the work is going on.
The macadam roads in Maryland
have given very good satisfaction, but
continuous care has been largely re-
sponsible for their success. The roads
are constantly patrolled and no hole
Of any size is allowed to go unre-
paired. Material for patching is kept
at convenient points along the road
for the use of the patrolman. from a
relatively small investment in an adj
mittedly loW-type road it builds up q
better one from year to year, always
conserving the bulk Of the previous
investment.
