Would you dominate instead of walking in the ruck? As Whitman says
"Do you not see how it would serve to have eyes, blood, complexion clean
and sweet, to have such a body and soul that when ycu enter a crowd,
an atmosphere of desire and command enters with you and ever one is
impressed with your personality?"

Your Teeth' Can be Extracted
l.WITHOUT PAIN
Nervous people, who fear the dentist and allow
their teeth to go without attention, are taking a
frightful risk. Decayed teeth seriously impair the
health of a human body. If you have held back be
cause you fear the pain of extraction, your fears have
been groundless. A good dentist can extract them
with very little annoyance to you. At the same
time the antiseptic solution he uses will heal the
gums and cause your mouth to regain its normal con
dition. 20 Years Experience
Together with two post-graduate courses in dentistry
have prepared me to do any of your work. Inlays,
amalgam or cement fillings, plates of all kinds; any
service that a cap ble dentist can render you.

By LOGAN WALLER PAGE.
Director Office of Public Roads,
United States Department
of Agriculture
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation, 1912.
IN March, 1S93, a petition was pre
sented to congress asking that a
road department similar to the
agricultural department be found
ed at VashIurtou for the purpose of
promoting construction and mainte
nance of roads and for teaching stu
dents so tbnt they might become skilled
road engineers and to establish a per
manent exhibit of sections of road Il
lustrating various methods of construc
tion and the best rond materials and
muchlner.v. This petition was signed
by the governors of many of the states,
including Governor McKlnley of Ohio,
by chambers of commerce and univer
sities in id was indorsed by resolutions
of legislatures.
The otlii e of rond inquiry was estab
lished under authority of an act of
mm
CsiTF.n statu:-! office of pchmo hoada
congress i.'.wpil March 3, 1HWI, iak
iir.' I'.iiiwoiniM'.iou of JfliMHX) for the u
liantncnt oi agriculture. The il;r.i.-e
relating to this work provided (hut tl;
secret iiry of iigik ultuie should mat
inquiries in regard to systems of road
management throughout the United
States, make iiivcslUittious la regard
to the be 'l methods of road making,
prepare publications on this subject
and assist auikultural colleges and ex
periment Millions in disseminating in
formation.
Since ltf'J" the total amount appro
priated for tho oflice of public roads is
SSbM.SGO, and since its establishment
the ollice 1ms issued 40 bulletins, U5
circulars, 0 farmers' bulletins, 21 year
book reprints and IS annual reports, a
total of 1S3 publications.
The ollice lias directed the construc
tion of about o4'J object lessons and
experimental roads, illustrating mncud-
um, bituminous macadam, brick, grav
el, saiid-cluy, shell and earth construc
tion. The approximate expenditure ou
these object lessons and experimental
roads by local authorities has been
$000,702, and the subsequent road work
due directly to tho object lesson ronds
represents expenditures running well
up into millions. Lectures and person
al advice by engineers and experts have
constituted a prominent feature of the
work of the ollice since its establish
ment. The rond material laboratory
was installed in December, 1900, and
from that time to July 1, 1011. about
5,300 samples of road material have
been received from practically every
state in the Union and tested to deter
mine their character and value for road
building.
A photographic laboratory was in
stalled in January, 1900, and has now
a complete outfit. This was the direct
result of a great need for illustrated
lectures. The office has now a collec
tion of about 6,000 negatives and about
3,000 slides, many of which bave been
colored. These illustrate all phases of
road work.
Experiments have been conducted
with oils, tars, rock asphalt and vari
ous preparations for the purpose of
preventing dust and preserving mac
adam roads from destruction under
modern traffic conditions. The office
has conducted investigations to deter
mine the feasibility of the sand-clay
method of road building in the south
ern states as well as in the prairie
'states, and this method of construction
has been found to be quite practicable,
especially In the south.
A study of the construction of roads,
of natural soils by treatment with as
phalt ic oils, has been made and was
published in circular No. 9a The office
Is conducting investigations on the nse
of slag as a road material andtbe
improvement of sand roads in parts of
the country where clay is not accessi
ble. Practical efforts have been mndp
(toward bringing about the more gener
al nse of the split log drag In the main
tenance of earth roads.
One of the unique and striking
exhibits at the Alaska-Iukon-Paclflc
exposition consisted of a series of min
iature models illustrating every known
type of improved road and the virions
road building devices, such as rollers
and crushers, in actual operation.
This exhibit was designed and prepnr
ed by tho office, and since the exposi
tion closed similar exhibits have been
shown In many parts of the United
States, partly through the medium of
expositions and partly by means of ex
hlbit trains operated by several rail
roads. Lecturers and demonstrators
accompany these exhibits, making them
in reality schools of instruction in road
building.
Graduates in engineering are ap
pointed from colleges each year after
a competitive examination, and are
given thorough training while render
ing practical services to the govern
ment In this woy an efficient corps of
engineers Is being built up, which will
aid tho development of rond building
along proper lines, both during and
after their connection with the gov
ernment This work was begun In the
fiscal year 1003.
Investigations into the decomposition
of rock powders under the action of
water have led to important discover
ies with reference to increasing the ce
menting value of road materials. The
investigation Into the corrosion of iron
and steel culverts has brought out Im
portant results. The generally accept
ed theories regarding the rusting of
iron have been demonstrated to bo In
correct, nml it has been shown that
by treating the surface of tho Iron
with n strong oxidizing agent the rust
ing can bo inhibited.
In May. 1!X7, tho office inaugurated
a jiroJ'H-t designed to Introduce the
l est possible systems of construction,
maintenance and administration of
nails in the various counties. Under
tkis plan rngisicers nio assigned to
make thorough Investigation on nil
phr.ses of the ro;:d work of the county
to which they are assigned, and pro
pare exluu-iive reports giving plans,
estimates and reconnieiulatlons.
T lie number of tho employees of the
office has im mased from one ou July
1, ISP?,, to 1." on July 1, 1011. The
present appropriation of the office Is
?K-,0.7-J0. out of wl.ich ?3.u0'" is paid
for rent, leaving $1. "7.220 to pay the
Fabrics of those 1 ,7 employees, ns well
as traveling expenses, the purchase of
equipment mid supplies, and the usual
running expenses.
Tho most thorough and systematic
methods of organization have been In
troduced into the administration of the
office, and the great library on all
phases of rond work Is the best In the
western hemisphere, and the library Is
being added to constantly.
The policy of the office in recent
years has been to co-operate with the
officials in charge of road work in the
various states as closely as possible,
and the endeavor is being made so to
correlate road work in each state by
voluntary co-operation as to constitute
one great movement along uniform
lines and make the progress and meth
ods of each state known to every other
state through the medium of the office.
In furtherance of this object a compre
hensive investigation was begun in

1904 to ascertain the mileage of im
proved and nnimproved roads, the char
acter of Improvement, the amounts ex
pended, rates of levy and sources of
revenue in every county in the United
States. This work was finished in
June, 1007. anrj the results were pub
Untied in the form of a bulletin, which
shows that there are over 2,150,000
miles of road in the United States, or
which only 7.14 per cent were Improv
ed in 1904. and that the expenditure in
money and labor for that year wax
nearly $80,000,000. This bulletin com
prises the first complete data ever as

The corn croD fooled lots of farmers
last year.
Many fields looked pood hut fell down
on the yield. This was owing to a lack
of available Potash, for Potash is primarily
a producer of grain.
