It Is with tremendous seriousness of

They were preparing to leave for the
Mexican border, and as the rookie
corporal marched his men up to the
truck ho felt baffled. He could recall
no order In the Infantry Drill Regu
lations for getting eight men aboard
a big gray truck in a military way.
They were already In squad forma
tion. so he cogltnted thnt he couldn't
very well order them to "Fall In," as
they were already all In: then on sec
ond thought lie Imugincd that "Kail In"
was Just the word, If he only marched
them up to tho truck nnd said It then.
There would be nothing for them to
do but fall Into the truck. A* they
reached the truck came the order from
the rookie corpora!, "Kail In!" ilelng,
as they thought, already completely
fallen In, the men were nonplussed as
to how to fall In any further. It didn't
occur to ihcm lo tumble Into the truck,
and being up against the wheels and
thinking tho corjioral really meant
"Halt!" they all enmo to standstill.

Device la Paying Proposition and Will
Save Trouble—Animals Soon
Learn Its Use.
There deems to he very llttly said
about the hog oiler and yet It Is
something that has been used on a
great many furms for the*past year or
two. I have had experience with oil
era of different kinds and find that
the use of a good oiler, that does not
leak or clog up, Is quite worth while
and Is a paying proposition, as it will
save a great deal of trouble and ne
glect, says a writer In an exchange.
A great many farmers neglect keep
ing their hogs free from lice and
mange simply because It Is so much
trouble and annoyance to get thein up
In u pen and sprinkle or dip them.
The hog oiler not only saves time
and trouble, but also saves oil, since
much oil Is wasted when the sprin
kling can is used.
There are two distinct kinds of oil
ers on the market: The cylinder oiler,
mid the upright or post oiler. The
oiler that does not waste oil by leak
ing or overflowing and one that oper
ates easily is pne of the best Invest
ments a hog raiser can make; while
the oiler that leaks or clogs up with
dirt Is almost useless.
If the oiler Is set up In a place
where the hogs congregate every day,
such as the feeding plnce, they will
almost Invariubly use It when they
Smell the oil.

Among the Most Satisfactory House Plants for Winter Are Palms and

ore killed I y Ovt'rltejitJto£;,than by cold.
They should have n temperature of be
tween 50 and 00 degrees. If It Is not
convenient to have any room In the
house kept as cool at this, stand them
In the corner farthest from the ra
diator, as close as possible to the light,
but not In the glaring sun.
The worst enemy of the plants Is
dust. Owing to Its smooth leaves, the
palm can be readily kept free from
this. Its leaves should be washed
with a soft sponge and lukewarm wa
ter.
The watering ot the plants is of
great Interest. The great danger Is
that the housewife will be too gener
ous In tills respect. It Is difficult to
give a definite rule. Generally speak
ing, the earth in the pot should be
kept moist, but not wet. If the room
Is kept at nigh temperature, the plant
will require more water than In a
cool place. But winter should be a
time of rest for the plant. It should
not do much growing, nnd therefore
nourishment and water should be given
sparingly. It Is easy to soak the soil
of a plant, but hard to dry It, once
thoroughly wet.
Neither a palm, or any other plant,
should ever be put In a glazed pot. If
an ornnmentnl pot Is desired, the earth
en pot should be set Inside. A porous
pot absorbs nnd evaporates the mois
ture, while In ifcjglazed pot the enrth
grows sour nnd unfit for even very
hardy plants. There should be a hole
In the bottom of the pot, over which
a stone, n bit of broken crockery or
something slmlinr should be laid. Tills
will keep the earth from filling It up,
and the surplus wuter will trickle out
beneath. A few lumps of common
charcoal at the bottom of the pot will
prevent the roots from rotting, nnd
powdered charcoal mixed with the
earth has the same effect, keeping the
bottom from turning sour.
Having temperature and moisture
right, the next enemy of the plant Is
parasites, such as fungi and Insects.
Many little Insect pests Infest the
palm. Some of these are destroyed by
washing the leaves with a sponge nnd
soft brush, using clean water only.
Those thnt cannot be destroyed in
this way, such as scales, can be quick
ly dispatched by tobacco juice diluted
with water. Any tobacconist or cigar
manufacturer will give you all the
ribs of tobacco leaves you want. But

and If yon put In a little wliale-01l

CONSIDER THE PHLOX
' By L. M. BENNINGTON.
Even moralists tell us that there is -
nn element in all mankind that leads
to the enjoyment of speculation nnd
chance. For the gratification of this
instinct I do not know any more In
teresting study than the phlox when
one resorts to seeds for the growth of j
plants. Of course, the staid, regular
garden worker will resort to cuttings,
because no one can guess, even ap
proximately, what will come from the
seed venture.
But there Is a lot of fun In taking
the seeds and watching the results.
They may be anything, from a perverse
and wayward floral child to the light
of the garden when it is left to first
principles for Its start in life.
The phlox Druininondl is the first
parent of the family. It was found
growing wild in Texas back In 1834,
nnd since that time it has grown in
popularity. Essentially a garden flow
er, It fully Justifies the use of the
Greek name because It is literally a
flame of light. There Is no question
but that It Is fur better for having
been planted in the fall. At the first
hint of spring It will start Its growth,
and the hard treatment of a rough win
ter will not serve to deter It in its de
termination to help brighten the world.
The one thing that phlox will not
stand is heavy cloy soil. Planted
along walls and hedges, with borders
and in places where the Irregular size
of the plants affords contrast In color,
there is nothing more calculated to add
life to the garden vista than the simple
phlox. v _ I .
CARE OF THE HOLLYHOCK
Keep the hollyhock flowers picked
off. Remove them as soon as they
begin to die. This serves two pur
poses: It makes the plant more at
tractive and it prevents seed from
forming. If you have noticed, there
ore almost always little branches
starting about the base of the old
plants. If seed Is not allowed to de
velop, the energy of the plant will be
expended on these, and they will bear
a good crop of flowers late in the sea
son. But If the plant perfects seed
they never amount to anything. Seo
to it that they are encouraged to
make themselves useful. ,

■ROAD*
BUILDING
NEED OF STANDARD METHODS
Roads Should Be Clattlfled on Basis
of Density of Traffic Into Main
Lines and Feeders.
Standardized methods of road con
struction and a standard system of
classifying highways are needed. Wo
system of classifying highways is bet
ter than that of traffic density. It is
highly desirable that careful counts
should be instituted by state highway
officials to determine the present main
routes of travel. Just as in railroad
evolution, density of traffic deter
mines the amount of Investment, so
highways should be classified on the
basis of density of traffic into trunk
lines, main lines and feeders.
In railroading, a light traffic is han
dled by a single line-of track with
switches; main line traffic is handled
by double tracks. Trunk lines han
dling heavy traffic are sometimes four
tracked, six tracked and even eight
tracked.
The solution reached in the con
struction of permanent country roads
around Cleveland Is instructive. It is
similar to the solution followed in
Good Roads In New York.
railway evolution. The right of way
for the highway lies between two
fences CO feet, more or less, apart.
Eeonomy is attained by building the
permanent highway one-half as wide,
leaving the balance of the dirt road
for the present as before.
In railroading it Is an axiom that
the capacity of a single track of rail
way with sufficient switches and uni
form speed of trains is practically un
limited. In Cuyahoga county, Ohio,
hundreds of miles of permanent coun
try roads of narrow widths are being
built, using a special type of brick
which Is produced cheaply In tUat lo
cality for the surface, set upon ce
ment foundations. Future genera
tions may widen these country auto
tracks if they so desire. But they
Will act more wisely if they invest tfie
money in an equal number of miles
of new narrow roads of permanent
construction to act as feeders.
A 12-foot permanent road is pass
able, summer and winter, for the har
vest loads. The dirt road lies to one
side of the new trackway Just as be
fore. The country needs thousands
of miles of narrow roads of perma
nent construction, Intersecting as feed
ers with the wider main lines and
trunk lines. Such feeders need not
be wider than 12 feet. The advantages
arc plain. Not only are such roads
passable summer, fall, winter and
spring for the hnrvest loads, but'they
are also permanent.
And, above all, they are a state and
municipal undertaking, nnd not a sub
ject for federal endowment.—Wall
Street Journal.
WIDE WAGON TIRES FAVORED
Oklahoma Adopted Measure After Con
siderable Study of Road Ques
tion—Most Economical.
Oklahoma, when It drafted its new
road legislation, provided a penalty for
using wagons of two tons or more ca
pacity that do not have at least three
inch tires. The measure was adopted
after a considerable study of the road
question. Dealers who sell vehicles
which do not come up to the state re
quirement make themselves liable for
a fine of not less than $5 nor more
than $25 for each wagon sold.
Tests by the federal roads depart
ment indicate that the three-Inch tire
Is the most economical for farmers. In
stead of being destructive to roads, it
helps to make them better. Narrow
tired wagons, which are universally
common, are very hard on roads.
