OIL IN ROAD WORK. EXPERT BELIEVES IT EXCELLENT FOR HARDENING SANDY HIGHWAYS. Co I About One-third That of Macadam, or 1.2MI Per Mile, Saya Kanaaa Profe.Hor Several Practical Teat Made. "Roadmaklng with oil 1 believe to be a commercial success, which will In time be generally adopted In Improv ing the sandy roads pt the state." This Is the opinion. Professor Albert Dickens, of the Kausas State Agricul tural college, the uiuu who for the past year has been asslgued to the work of expending the $2,500 appropriated by the last legislature for the purpose of experimenting la oil roadmaklng, gave the-Topeka Journal.. "The cost of oiling a sandy road," said Trofessor Dickens while the guest of F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, "will be about $1,200 a mile. Some roads will cost more than others. This Is only about one-third the cost of macadam and wHere stone not plentiful is much less than a third. "We have constructed oil roadways In four different parts of the state. Our most extensive experiment was near Garden City, where we oiled a little over a mile of road. The sandy soil ubsorbed vast quantities of oil. Four carloads were put Into the road way with a sprinkling cart. At Hutch inson we made ueariy a mile of oil road, and we built short stretches at Manhattan and Maple Hill. "Whether the oil in the roadways will have to be renewed remains to be seen. Of course there are certain por tions of the oil which are volatile and will pass off Into the air. But we use for this oiling only the reavy residuum oil left after the kerosene and gasoline have been extracted. This oil is thick and heavy and works better than thin oil. "Up at Manhattan the people who own fast horses were so well pleased with the oil road that they have oiled the race track and claim that it makes their track one of the best In the state. "Out at Gardeu City, where the sand Is probably as heavy as any place In the state, the oil experiments are watched with the greatest Interest. The whole of western Kansas will be benefited greatly If the oil road comes Into general use. There Is a rich farming country tributary to Garden -City, which is at times almost cut off from the town because of the heavy sand in the roads. The roads are so bad that a horse cannot haul more than ten bushels of wheat at a load. 'The farmers living near Garden City and the merchants In the town are tafkTng of oiling the main roads leading to this tributary country, so that the farmers can come Into town regardless of the sand. "Wo have found that narrow tired wagons cut up the road badly after It bas been oiled, while the wide tired wagons tend to make It more solid and firm. ' This Is of course true to a great extent of the effect of the tires on ordi nary roads." It Is likely that the next legislature will be asked to coutinue the appropri ation for oil road experiments in order that tests may be made In other por tions of the state and establish fully the practicability of this method of good roads making. CALL FOR NATIONAL ROAD. A if peal to Have Famoua Highway Rebnllt br the Government. The National Good Roads associa tion, with headquarters in St. Louis, has sent oat the following appeal to motorists, says the New York Amerl- can: "The National Good Roads associa tion is a powerful force for good, and its work Is accomplishing results In all parts of the United States. It la en gaged In many things that will bene fit the people. One of the great schemes It has In mind and which It has set about to accomplish Is the re pair and rebuilding of the great na tional road across Maryland, Pennsyl vania, West VIrglula, Ohio and Indi ana. "That memorable road was Intended to be one of the highways between the east and the west before railroads were known. It was built at great expense, costing the federal government over $7,000,000, and during the early day 8 was a famoua highway over which thousands traveled every week. When railroods came Into existence the na tional road was neglected, and today it Is only a skeleton of what it once was. "It Is proposed to rebuild It and the National Good Roads association has undertaken to have It done by the gov ernment. The length of the road (Is .about 700 miles, and it can be rebuilt for less than $7,000,000. That Is about the cost of one good battleship, and we are building lots of them. The appro priation of that sum to make this old road across five states would do as much good as the average battleship, for not one such ship in ten will ever get In a fight. ' Then when the old road has been put In good shape to the Mis sissippi river It may be that the price of about three other battleships will be set aside to build the road to the Pa .clflc coast. "One first class continuous highway across the continent would be a great thing. Many a traveler would spend two or three mqpths going and com ing by team, bicycle, automobile or otherwise. It would be easy for the nation to do a thing like this. "In 1008 10,000 Americans visited Europe and for the privilege of going -over the first class European roads paid rn $600,000,000." . Trade At Home. Almost every day someone reports being approached by a stranger having some kind of "a blue sky get rich quick proposition or wanting to sell something about on,e-third of its value. They are at work all over the country. Something new is bobbing up every hour to separate the honest toiler frcm his hard earn ed fortune. Don't bite at any of them. Don't deal with a stranger until you have positive proof of his reliability and even then, it is much wiser to deal with men you know. Dou't sign your name to any con tract unless you have personal knowl edge of the reliability of the person to whom you are giving it. Don't buy any merchandise away from home; trade with the merchants in Ranolph county, they are your bro thers work ingjf or the advancement of the county aad ndirectly working for your good. A Model Composition. This is a boy's es3ay on his family relations. It is a model essay be cause it telU so much in a brief space. "May is my mother. I am her sou. Ma's name is Mr.-. Shrimp and Vir. buriuip u ber auoouuu. Fa is my father. My uame is John George Washington Shrimp, and therefore pa an ma's name is Shrimp. Mv ma bus a ma; she is my grand ma. 1 like grandma better thau pa dot s. fehe bungs me dimes and bol hart, fche don't bring my pa any and maybe that's why he don't like her. Aunt Jerusha is my aunt but when pa was .a little boy she was 1ns sister. I like little sisters. Ducky Mopp has a little sister; her name is Rose. I take her out riding on my sled. "Aunt Jerusha lives with us. Sometimes I think ma would rather have her live with somebody else. I asked Aunt Jerushy once why she didn't marry tomebody and set up for herself. She Said that a man wanted to marry her, but that poor Susan Jane was in such a state of health she couldn't think of leaving. ''Besides", she said, "what would become of your pa?" "Aunt Jerusha has a state of health, too. On washing day she has a headache and does her head up in brown paper and vinegar, and I have to make toast at the kitchen fire. 1 make some for myseli, too. "Aunt Jerusha says nobody knows what she haa done for that boy. That boy's me again. I told pa what she said. Pa said it was just so. Nobody did know. Ma says Aunt Jerusha means well, and that she is pa's dear sister. I don't see why that's any ieason she should always scold me when I eat cabbage with a kuife." Exchange. Let Every farmer Read Thin. Paste This In a Scrap Book. A Chicago mail order journal in advertising to push the farmers trade hard while they hare plenty of money, says; "The farmers have acquired a mania for buying good mail. They have gotten so they will order almost anything provided the circular that advertises it is set up in attractive shape." Recently Chicago societv people held some sort of "rural" party. The dress and action and talk of those to rep resent the hard working, honest tillers of the soil was more like the worst characters in an insane asylum than of an American farmer. Men that made their money from farmer's patronage led the way. Isn't it about time that the ridicule, slurs and counterfeit representation of the farmers as a class be stopped: Metropolitans need net go out side their own bounds to find the lowest and most degraded as well as the most foolish and ridiculous speci mens of humanity. But it is always "the innocent Rube." the "hay-seed," that is held up to ridicule. What sort of an impression does this have upon the rising generation? Does ic havemnch to do with encouraging movement toward the city by our farmer boys and girls? The farmer can afford to smile at the foolish characterization, but he cannot ignore the inevitable effect. So long as he bumps at the baits of the mail order schemers, so long as he can be flattered by such address as "dear kind, esteemed, thoughtful, beloved friend." by absolute strangers he will find the same crowd making fun behind his back. Why don't some of the farm papers call a halt? Are thty afraid of injuring the chances of their ad. verniers. x-x change. More Truth Than Poetry In This. And it- came to pass that after he had advertised his goods, there came unto him great multitudes from all the regions round about and did buy of him. And when bis competitors saw it they marveled among them selves, saying. "How is it that this man is busy while we loaf idly about our doorsr And he spake unto them: "In this age of push and rustle it is easier for a. camel to en ter the eye of ft needle than for a man to flourish without advertising."

Randolph Veteran H rites of Many Points of Interest Visited. Mr. Editor The Veterans are back from the He-union at Richmond, but a sketch of what was seen will be of interest to those who could not attend Many of us visited many of the rjads we traveled w ith the army, bringing back many sad memories which nevertheless gave much pleasure. We visited the battle tield of Fai Oaks and Seven Pines; crossed the Chickahominy river where began the seven days fight in front of Kiohincmd. We also visited Me cuauiesville battle field, Frazier's Farm, Gaines Mill, Cold Harbor, and found all looking very much like it did back in the sixties. Another interesting place was at Peters burg, where the enemy placed a mine under our lines and killed hundredsof our soldiers. I think all the boys who wore the gray had a grand time at Richmond Many of us spent only a short time in Richmond, the re mainder of the time we were visiting old scenes Comrades, we used to have to answer the roll call three times a day, hut we will never have to do this again, but we ' must answer one more call sooner or later, so let us all live so that we will be ready when that last call comes.
