DISCUSSING JOINT AND CRACK
FILTERS IN CONCRETE ROADS

Unsightly black lines, sometimes
jagged and irregular, which mar the
appearance of practically all concrete
roads and which are due to the natural
color of materials used to fill Joints
and cracks, will be avoided by the use
of material for the purpose devel-
oped in the laboratories of the Bureau
of Public Roads, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, if tests by
actual use prove as successful as ex-
pected. This material has the same
color as concrete, and when used to
fill cracks and joints the surface has
the appearance of continuous and
unbroken slab to the casual observer.
No particular advantage over other
good materials is claimed for the pre-
paration other than its color, and it
is probable that the cost will be some
what higher but not prohibitive
For several weeks a section of road
with expansion joints filled with this
material has been under observation,
and the results are entirely satisfac-
tory, but longer test will be neces-
sary before it can be recommended
for general use.
The mixture consists of approx
mately IL parts rosin, part crude
rubber, with sufficient barium sui
phate to give the desired color In
preparation the rubber is dissolved in
gasoline, aid the rosin is then mixed
in with an application of heat, the
coloring material being added as re-
quired. Any desired consistency can
be obtained by varying the proper
tions. A material with remarkable
adhesive properties is produced and
which can be heated so that it will
flow into the cracks and joints.

NOT "REDS"

The opponents of Senator Poin-
dexter are not "reds", as the senator
has so termed them in his addresses,
according to statement issued by
Judge Austin E. Griffiths of Seattle
candidate for the republican nomin-
alton for United States Senator
Judge Griffiths, who is presiding
judge of the King County superior
court, not only resents being classed
as "red', but also analyses Poin-
dexter's defense of Newberryism, as
evidenced by the Washington sena-
tors vote to seat the Michigan man.
The statement says:
Senator Poindexter begins his
campaign by defense of Newberry-
ism, or ballot debauchery, and attack
ing his opponents by calling them
reds.
"He comes too late to raise the red
flag scare, proclaiming himself a
savior The people are getting their
balance again, and forgetting the
after-war hysteria. They are think
ing about their practical, everyday
needs. They have no fear of the
nations foundations giving way or
caving in.
"Yet Senator Poindexter would re-
vive and stimulate for his own poll
tical interest the passions fortunately
fast dying out.
"He declares that he is still pro-
gressive, and that "a little strychnine
is good, but too much is bad But
why give poison to the country at all :?
We do not want the nation reduced
to the extremity that calls for poison
as stimulant, or an emergency rem
edy. We want to apply to the body
polite reasonable remedies in time.
"1n defense of his Newberry vote,
he says: Il did not consider it right
to override the will of the people of
Michigan In this position the Sen
ator admits and condones ballot cor
ruption. He overrides the will of the
people of the United States. He ig-
nores their constitution. The same
constitution that enables a state to
elect two senator's, also expressly pro-
vides that each house shall be the

KEEN INTEREST IN POULTRY

Many requests for information on
poultry raising-average between so
and rs letters day since early in the
year-is reported by the Bureau of
Animal Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. In addi-
ton the supply of poultry literature
distributed by the Division of Publ
cations has surpassed the records of
all previous years.
The departments literature on
poultry raising is unusually complete,
ranging from discussions of the prn-
cipal breeds of poultry to manage
ment, housing, incubation, brooding,
and culling. The departments poul-
try publications include more than 30
bulletins for general distribution and
many others of technical character
on special phases of poultry work.

THE LEAVENWORTH ECHO

Judge of the elections, returns and
qualifications of its own members.
There is command in the weighty
words of this venerable document. In
the position he takes, the senator as
sumes the contrary, that a state and
its senators are an isolated part of
the union. His position implies that
rotten electorate or rotten scna-
tor of any state or states is OF no
concern to others, or to the republic.
"But the senator's excuse must be
deemed puerile. During his former
progressive days, he ovcrrode the
will Of the people Of Wisconsin and of
Illinois by voting to unseat Steven
son and Lorimer.
"The House of Representatives
voted to unseat Meyer London, the
Socialist, and thus upset the majority
will of his New York constituency.
If London had been elected to the
Senate would Senator Poindexter
have voted for him on the ground
that he would not override the will of
the New York people?
"His defense would be more honest,
although his act would be as indefcns-
ible, if he confessed he voted for
Newberry because they determined,
for partisan reasons, to have another
Republican Senator"

TRAINS DELAYED MONDAY.

A freight car of train No. 40l
which left here early Monday after
noon, was derailed near Drury and
traffic was held up until about 9
o'clock that evening. The car, we

and now that there is no one to man
the wrecker, clearing the track is a
big job, the train crews having to get
by the best they can. In this case it
is understood that the outfit repair
ing the sheds was depended upon to
use their derrick.
