BRADFORD'S STORE HAS GIFTS

Have you noticed, as you passed
the big Bradford furniture store, the
smiling Santas who waved from the
windows? Some folks wave back;
others do more. They stroll over to
the windows for a look at the furni-
ture. Right there is where they get
distinct and pleasing shock. Fur
niture-yes. But more than a hun
dred distinctly different and surpass-
ingly beautiful objects greet your
enraptured glance. For enraptured
one is with the slender lamp stands
of wrought iron and carved wood, a
length of gold lace edged with fur
and fashioned with a shade, a rug
aglow with rich colors, or a big com
fy chair, overstuffed at arms and

fireside and to comfort you at the

SCHOOL BELLS RINGING
McDoNOGH NO. 5.

Last week McDonogh No. 5 School
celebrated American Education Week
Each child took home to his parents
letter explaining the purpose of this
celebration, and inviting them to
visit the school, The parents CO.
operated with the teachers and many
visited the school to learn more about
the work that their children are do
ing. This is a step in the right d.
rection, and we hope that parents
will find time to pay occasional visits
to the classrooms in which their
children are being taught and to be-
come acquainted with the teachers.
The Parents Club held it's meeting
on Tuesday, December 6. 1t was very
encouraging to see how many parents
were interested in education. Mr.
Henri Wolbrette addressed the par
ents on Americanization. Miss Dieck,
the principal, then spoke on the real
meaning of education, showing that
the child, being many-sided being,
needs development along many lines.
She explained how the schools of to-
| day are taking care Of all sides OF
the child's nature, and brought out
the chief differences between the edu-
cation given to our boys and girls to-
day, and that given in the schools OF
the past. Each teacher then told
briefly how a particular subject was
being taught and its purpose in gene
raj education Each talk was de
monstrated by the use Of material
generally employed in teaching that
subject. Before leaving the school
many parents expressed the opinion
that the talks had been very instruc
tive to them. ALI decided that thu
modern school affords many more
, educational advantages than did thu
schools that they attended.
Each morning during American

few other counties, like Arapahoe.

low 80 per cent in the number of

ed in nearly complete reports on cul-
tivated crops show considerable

The showing made by Colorado this
year in acreage and production of
crops is remarkable in view of the
situation in most other states. Re-
ports for the county as whole show
that the acreage under cultivation

Helpful Hints on Road Building

little slope to the center, a con-
crete culvert is then built through to
take care of the usual flow of water.
while the space for the roadbed is
built up to within six inches of the
top OF the walls. Care should be
taken to fill solid. and a concrete
floor should be built over the fill to
the top OF the walls. The lower wall
should be put in so that the floor will
have a little slope.
BY building a concrete apron from
the lower wall six or eight feet wide
at the bottom of the wall, the over
flow water will be checked from cut
ting under the walls. and the flood
water will pass over the bridge with
out leaving any damage in its trail.

on curves should be carried accord
ing 10 the length of the curve. the
same elevation as railroad grade.
A straightedge about 16 feet long and
spirit level are useful articles in
putting a crown on a road or grading
around curves.
Culverts should be put in according
to the amount Of territory which they
haye to drain Cloudbursts are one

that II will stand and not fill up the

straight and dirt is hauled In to make
the fills. when II would be cheaper to
give the banks fatter slope and use

A drag is good for putting smooth

sandy road can be dragged to GOOD
advantage any time. Adobe is much
more difficult to keep smooth and
more care must he exercised to drag

Roads will have to be built more

There ara some other things 4
The Delta independent., 1921-09-23
(By J. c.. GuDGEL)

From my experience in highway
construction and maintenance ! have
learned several things. The first cost
in building n new road should be the
permanent cost. This can be done by
properly grading and ditching. and
putting in culverts large enough to
take care OF the water.
In bridging streams It costs very
little more to build the abutments
three or four feet higher than the
high water mark, and II banks are
low build back on both sides with
, extra abutments. especially on the
low side on top OF the bank. The
bridge should be extended In length
and the approaches graded up. while
riprapping should be placed on each
side OF both approaches. In this way
there is space enough to keep the
current in the main channel OF the
river. II the river overiows, the ap-
proaches are protected and the bridge
ia long enough and high enough to
permit the current to stay with the
channel.
In building q new road along q
river It should be built high enough
from the water that It will not be
washed out The original cost will
be greater, but It will be cheaper
and more satisfactory in the long
run. since II will not have to be re-
buflt in places after each Hood.
In grading roadbed keep the
rock worked out to the river side OF
me grade. using the rock for n rip.
rap in the fills. bitches should be at
least two feet wide at the top and
one foot on the bottom. and one foot
deep. That is for side hill work
where many culverts are put in. In
grading through fiat country the
bitches should be wider. The prin.
cipal object with regard to the road.
bed is to keep the water from stand
ing in the bitches and on the road
bed. by putting in culyerts often
enough and having them large
enough to take care Of the water. A
small culvert is only an expense, con
tinually washing out.
In places where there are no banks
and n large amount Of water comes
down at times, fiush bridge is the
only bridge that will stand the Mood
water. This IL made by building 2
concrete wan one foot thick on each
side Of the road. letting the walls
come up hush with the banks. With
