Soft Dough Best

Soft doughs make the best breads,
so do not use too much flour during
kneading. Kneading soft doughs on
a pastry cloth or canvas makes them

PRELIMINARY TESTING FOR
ROLLER TYPE OF DAMS

Six engineers and assistants left
here Tuesday, after having spent a
week surveying and making prelimi-
nary testings of roller type of dams
in the Muskingum river. Their re-
port will be submitted to the U. S.
government. We understand that
the government is strongly in the
notion of installing the roller type
dams in the local river, similar to
the one near GallipOlis in the Ohio
river. 1t is stated that one dam~ Of
this type will take the place of sew
eral Of the present type, and with
seven of the roller dams the Mus
kingum river would be made navi-
gable from Marietta to Coshocton.
Should the government go ahead
with the work, it would do away
with all the present dams, canals
and locks.
In the event the government or
ders the dams built, and accepts the
preliminary testing, one Of the dams
would likely be located near the
mouth of Miller's run.
