CEDAR FALLS COMMENCEMENT. Addrni by Mr. E. D. Bruadhnral of Greensboro Large Atteutlauc, The commencement exercises at Cedar Falls occurred Friday, April 14th.. The well arrauged and in teresting program lasting all day. It reflects much credit upon Mr. and Mrs. Cephas Bowman, who are in charge of the school, and upon the children, whoso enthusiastically took part in the program. The attendance was iarge, all reporting that not ,tue slightest incident oc curred to mar the pleasure of the day. The address was delivered by Mr. E. D. Broadhurst, of Greensboro, and was a broadly constructed argument for the canse of better public schools. He laid gieat stress upon the importance of local tax ation for the support of grade I Bchools. He spoke very highly of the Cedar Falls school, compliment ing both teachers and pupils on the report of the year's work. Mr. Broadhurst made a lasting impression on bis hearers and much good is expected as a result of his plea for higher education. Prof." D. M. Weatherly, of Frank linsville, spoke at length during the afternoon. His enthusiasm in the ! cause of education and knowledge of local conditions made his speech very interesting and instructive. A string band composed of local musicians furnished excellent music during the exercises of the morning, afternoon and evening. The members of the band are 1$. F. Gray, Isaac W. Allred, Albion Allred and Shelly Glass, violins; Chas. Glass, banjo; and Walter Craven, delcimer. ntociRAM. GRADERS FOR ROADS ! The Bov.

IS W GROVE'S signature is on each box. 5o the commissioner of highways In Onta rio, Canada, in his ninth annunl report. A road grader Is a necessity in every township where good roads are being constructed. By their use the cost of grading the roads is greatly reduced and a great Improvement in the mak ing and repair of roads is effected. They are of greatest value In town ships where gravel and broken stone are not to be hud and dependence must be placed on earth roads. At the same time they are none the less a necessity in the construction and repair of gravel and broken stone roads, and even among stumps aud stones when proper ly handled they work In a most sur prising manner. Ittrfs not their Ose which it now seems eoessary to urge, but rather there is need of guarding against their misuse. A matter of first Importance In mak ing good use of a grader is to plan the season's work In advance. The town ship road commissioners, councilors or a committee of the council, according to the local system of road manage ment, should go over the roads early in the year and determine what grading is required. This work should be stak ed out according to the definite width and dimensions of roads as required by township regulations. The grader when It commences in the spring should pro ceed to each piece of work consecutive ly and should be in use continuously until the grading is done for that year. In some townships it is customary for the grading machines to go here and there over the to.wnshlp without method one day on one side of the township, next day on the opposite side, then to another distant part, backward and forward, wasting a con siderable part of the wages of men and teams in moving from one part of the township to another. By following a well considered schedule the cost of moving the machine between different pieces of work is reduced to a mini mum. Arrangements should be made every spring to have the grader lu use as soon as the ground is sufficiently dry. The soil is then in its best condition for manipulation, having been mellowed by frost. The roads are rough and most in need of treatment. Roads which are properly graded early In spring are at once compacted by traf fic, and they will remain in their best condition all summer. If the work Is left until late in the season clay soils become baked aud hardened, difficult to handle and rough when finished. Sandy soils if loosened up late In the year will be much more dusty than if treated early in the spring, when they are damp and readily compacted by traffic. One of the first essentials In provid ing that the roads will be properly graded Is to select the right man to operate tlio grader. ITe should be ac- tive and energetic, with some mechan ical experience, one who will take an interest in his work, who will make a study of roadmaking and who will be willing to follow the Instructions given him by the township road commission er or councilor having supervision of the work. When such a man Is found he should be engaged from year to year, so that his growing experience will render him more efficieut. The same horses should be used In operating the grader for an entire sea son at least. "Green" horses are very nwkward, will not pull together, waste much time, and even a reliable man as operator cannot under such clrcum stances perform good work. Horses used continuously become accustomed to the work, to each other, to the driver and will produce much better results. Some townships Instead of horses use a traction engine for certain work. Where one can be rented from a local thrasher it can usually be obtained very cheaply in the early part of the year, where a considerable stretch has to be graded without turning, as In cutting off the shoulders of old gravel roads, a traction engine Is much pref erable to horses. It Is more steady. The township regulations as to the width and dimensions of the road should be closely followed In grading. These generally provide for a width of twenty-four feet between the Inside edges of the open drains on roads of greatest travel, twenty feet on roads of moderate travel and eighteen feet on roads of least travel. A rise of from one-half an Inch to one Inch to the foot from the Inside edge of the drain to the center of the road Is ample crown for a new road after the gravel or stone has been placed on it More than this is unnecessary and an Injury. There is a tendency In the use of graders to crown ' roads excessively, and this should be guarded against. Where gravel or stone is regularly used for snrfaclng roads only such an extent of new road should be graded as can be metaled and otherwise complet ed in the one summer. If this la not done the work of grading has practi cally to be done over In many cases be fore gravel can be applied, as the road will be so much cut by traffic and washed out by rains and freshets of the ensuing wet seasons. In addition the road Is left In a very soft condi tion, readily turning It Into a deep slough of mud. The ideal method for making a good road for traffic and for conserving the road metal Is to roll down and consolidate the grade as left by the grader. On this should be plac ed a layer of broken atone and tills in turn rolled down for traffic. thousauds of boys (ten, twelve and fourteen ears of age) headed in that direction now travelling as fast as life allows.

Spring Planted Trees. Just before the sprincr growth starts is one of the best seasons to plant fresh- dug Fruit, Shade and Orna mental trees. They start to grow at once, and do not lose vitality -as they do when dug in the fall and kept over five or six months before growth can start. This is common sense.
