Beuldea answering hostile objec tions to the road bonding i...., High way CoiiimlRloner E. J. AduniB In Ills address before the Oregon goou roads rally in the Multnomah Hotel Portland, explained some points that have not been clean in the public mind. On width of paving and mile- ago that can be constructed from the 000,1100 bonds he said: "Tho hard surface placed upon these roads should be of sufficient width to accommodate all of the traflic demanded of that particular section of road. In some partB of the state a nine-toot road will be ample, in other sections the traffic will require a sixteen foot road. The average width the state over will nrobablv be about twelve feet. A good hard surface road, either of concreto six Inches thick, or some bltuminouB mixture, and placed on crushed rock where tho soil condi tions aro suitable, can be laid for approximately $1.20 per yard. Hut. estimating as a matter of safety, that this road will cost an average of $10,00 per nillo, you readily see that tho funds available from this bond Ishiio will lay uliu miles of hard surface road. There are some 070 miles of road designated in the bill as hurd surfaco roads. Home of these roads aro optional hard sur face, and much of tho optional roaci will not need hard surfacing now. "Then, again, ihore nro many in ill's of macadnm and good gravel road, particularly In tho valley, upon which tho annual cost to maintain 1b not 0(ual to tho Interest on the cost to plifco a hard surface upon it. Therefore, tlioso soctlons,ns a mat ter of business economy, should not bo hnrd surfaced until the traffic In creases to a point where the annual cost to maintain exceeds the interest on the cost or a hard surface plus tiie annual coftt to maintain the hard surf nee. -For this reason wo may do durt from tills total mllengo many miles of gravel and macadam roaud, leaving ajrproxiluntely 000 miles nut of the 070 that should now bo Im proved with a hard surface. You enn see, therefore, that tho funds avail able from this bond Issue will prac tically hard surface every mllo of rond designated in ttio bill and on the map as hnrd surfaco rond that now domnnd such a surface." Prices of most commercial fertiliz ers ai presunt are high. Potash Is almost unobtainable. Only by limit scrupt lo;:s conservation of stable 6 manure, and nil Increased use of legumes as green manure, und ot ground rock pliospiinto, can tho com mercial fertilizer sliortago be met. even temporarily. There remuius ono thing, howovor. that niny bo dono to Increase yields, which costs no more now than It did before. It mny safely bo suld that If nil sources of artificial chemical fertilizers fail ed, our total farm output in many sections could not only be maintain ed, but even Increased for a consid erable tlmo simply by tho application of lime to ncreages that now are low In yield or lying fallow because they are too sour to grow piolllnhlo crops. Lime cap and suould bo put on nil sour limit. Hy a plentiful use of lime wo con, figuratively spunking, make our "wnr oread" of stones. A bootlegger paid two hundred dollars Into the city's cash register for tho -privilege of dispensing one bolllo of booze lo a thrlsty customer. Tho profit on this transaction seems to have been diverted Into tho proper channel. Now if a few local "stain could be "corralo- und nulled over the counter tho city would soon havo a tat surplus In its exchequer. a nnpiririlrnllv inclined friends of ours are against universal service be cause It will take all the poetry, an the art, all tttai la line, out. oi war. lln.ntLil if Vml Illi-flftB hut It Will also take away all that is unfair in the volunteer idea, whlcn is suiucieni ,.i,.ni,nMllnn Th burden of War should be laid upon all, old as well as young. Assign to eacn citizen a ian and his Bdf-respect, as well us the nation's will be preserved. Every reasonable effort should be mude to Induce men In every walk la life to add to the total of food production. The entire country would get the benelit, even if the Individual producer operated at a loss. Every assurance should be given the pro ducer, therefore, that he will not be penalized for bis Industry and en terprise. This Is a new one on us from the Medford Sun: "Ship ahoy! According to the Hoscburg papers Miss Alice Pitchfork is leader of the lted CrosB In that community." This back-yard and vacant lot gardening Is going !o get some of tlioso Medford editors, If they don't look out. They're get ting their farjuing implements mixed. The Northern California Editorial Association has gone on record as opposed to the uBe of grain for the manufacture or liquor uuring me pendancy of the war, and In favor of conscription. Whore two or more men meet In tneso days ot real con servation John barleycorn gets a Jolt In tho ribs. If tho United States pledges lib word that It will stay In the tight In Prussian autocracy Is overthrown, Prussian autocracy may as well be gin winding up its affalra. What ever Americans may be, they are not quitters. Did you over notice that adver tisements dlflpluying clothing- invari ably picture a long, lean, hungry- looking individual? Even tno tail ors do not "love a fat man. Roseburg looks decidedly better after a general clean-up. We are now roady for tomorrow's circus with the possible exception or the price. This I "better babies'' week but some of tho youngsters don't Bcem to realize the fact Judging from their dully tactics. There Is no alternative you have your choice either go to work or go to war. Hysterical hoardiilg Is on n par with hysterical spending. Spring Is "wringing" In a day, every now and then. An early crop of blistered hands and lame backs. SCOUTS SET RECORD Tho practical truinlnK of the boy ho out wits fully exemplified last night In n practice mobilization of the local organization. Scout Master H. S. J.j Hamilton hud given the buys no Ink-; ling that he would call them and con sequently they woro scattered throughout all parts of tho city.

Such results are accomplished only by the most thorough training und the case with which the mobilization wbb accomplished Is conclusive ovl donco of the ability of the ofllcers.

VEXATION OF SPIRIT So long and earnestly I've wrought. Pursued the beastly grind, 1'vo ringbones on my dom? of thought. And spavins on my mind. The ghastly fear of evil times, Of poverty when old. Has kept me hunting after gold. I hnve a package put away. Where none can jar it loose. And sometimes at the close of day I wonder what's the use? Throughout this weary worldly Jaunt I've skimped and saved and pared I've dono without the things 1 want, The things for which I cared, lo nihl one round dollar more To what I have In brine, I've made existence sad and sore. And what reward Is mine? Why do I slave and toll and grind. Why do I toil and spin? I'll havo to leave my roll behind, For others to blow in. These words seem ever ringing loud. Like some decree of doom; "There'ls no pocket In a shroud, Nb cash box in a tomb." The best cure for the above Is an Income policy with The ..lutunl Life of N. Y. No restrictions as to war. Come and let us reason together and see if I can't convince you that the partlclitatinit plan is the safest and suro to make the net cost the lowest.
