Farmers Frequently Cannot

. Highway Expert.
(Special to The &nrnil.i
Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallls,
Or.,, July 20. "To the farmer better
roads frequently mean the difference be
tween affluence and bankruptcy," said
Prof. Ernest Flags Ayres, highway en
gineer of the Osegon Agricultural col
lege in a lecture to the summer atu-1
dents.
' "A Wisconsin farmer held 1000 bush
el of potatoes In his cellar, waiting for
,a good price. He was offered 92 , cents
in March, but they must be delivered In
town, and the roada were so bad he
could not haul "When he finally got
them to market his potatoes brought 30
cents a bushel. The bad roads cost him
$620. He Is an ardent booster for any
movement promising relief.
Social Benefits Added.
"While the farmer receives as great
financial .gain from good roads as any
one. Jie- bastheAdded social benefits.
Under present conditions It is often im
possible for his children to go to school
regularly, his family to go to church
extopt when the roads are dried out, his
doctor to reach him in time to be of
most help, or his mall to be delivered
regularly. With better roads this can
all be changed and graded schools and
larger churches always follow these im
provements. "It is not necessary that a great deal
of money ba spent on our highways, but
what Is Invented should be used careful
ly and Intelligently. A few dollars spent
at the right time will save repairs cov
ins hundreds, and most of the roads
where there Is no heavy through travel
may be Improved In this way."
Sand-Clay Boads.
Mr. Ayres then described the process
of building sand-clay roads; the Initial
grading with a proper crown and1 drain
age ditches, the distribution ami packing
of the clay, spreading of the sand and
ploughing and harrowing it In lightly
on top. This typo of road has given
excellent satisfaction In the southern
and middle western states, but little
work of the sort hag been done ns yet
in the Pacific northwest. It has proved
successful .in soils and climatic condi
tions similar to those found in Oregon
nnd there Is no question as to Its value
for rural highways.
"The saving in expense over other
forms of . road is no mean item," con
tinued Prof, Ayres. "The average cost
for sand-clay roads Is but 1723 a mile
for the 24,601 miles in the United Staffs,
compared with a Cost of $4989 a mile for
macadam. In other words, shout seven
miles of good sand-clay road can be
built for the samo money as one mile
of plain or water-bound macadam. The
cost of maintenance is less than for any
other form of Improvement except the
earth road, and horses and automobiles
alike prefer It to any of the hard sui
fai e roads,
Good Sand Needed.
"The road must first be graded and
drained carefully and should he crowned
about one Inch to the foot and be
smooth as a rag. It can he prently Im
proved by adding sand even If no grad
ing has been done, but the expense will
be much greater. The sand must be
sharp and coarse, but need not bo as
clean as Is required for concrete. It
should be brought and plied along1 the
shoulders of tha road In dry weather
when teaming Is cheaper, though con
struction can not begin until the ratns
soften the clay. The cheapest way Is to
spread the sand 4 to 6 Inches deep over
the wet day and let the traffic mix the
materials. Economy Is the only argu
ment fof this, and as "more sand Is usu
ally required to fill tho ruts and holes
formed by the heavier teams, even this
advantage Is sometimes lost. The road
Is almost Impassable; to heavy loads un
til t lie sand and clay, are thoroughly
mixed.
Road Draff Necessary,
"A belter wny Is to spread the sand
evenly to a width of 12 or 16 feet, mix
ing well with plough and harrow. A
depth of 6 Inches is enough for light
travel, and a foot for' heavy loads, The
toad drag should he used often to main-
MUNICIPAL MARKET REDUCES

... View cf Deg Molneg municipal market'
Des Moines." Iowa; July 20. The
municipal market which war - opened
here not long ago Is heralded by Des
Moines as an instance of the efficacy
of the commission form of government.
It demonstrated the readiness with
which public opinion Is carried into ef
fect under tho Des Moines plan and
the closer union that exists between the
people and their representatlvs.
Although the city is the center of the
richest agricultural district In the world,
the prices of vegetables fruit and gar
den stuff were so high that necessities
were fast becoming luxuries. For' in
stance, potatoes at one time reached $3
a bushel. All kinds of produce was
selling at prices much higher than the
average for former years, some of the
advance bolng due to unfavorable grow
ing conditions. Most of the high cost
was due to the necessity of the dealers
adding a largo per cent to the cost of
his produce to cover delivering charges,
clerk hire, rent and profits. Truck gar
deners were not able to peddle their
products from house to house, because
the grocers would then refuse to buy
their surplus stock.
The discussion of the high cost of
living became a fad. The newspapers
featured the subject, it had its share of
attention in the pulpits. The mayor and
commissioners took the matter up. They
announced that the little plot eff lawn
at the city hall would be opened as
a municipal market. It was rogarded as
an experiment, and many of the offici
als were skeptical as to whether It
would be successful. The first four or
five farmers drove their wagons on the
lawn and sold vegetables from the cart.
Farmers Favor Market,
The next day the number doubled.
Within a week over one hundred farmers
wero at -the market. In a month it
had become so popular that more than
a hundred farmers were selling direct
to the Des Moines housewives and the
wagons stretched for three blocks along
the curb on market days. In many In
stances the old prices were cut In half,
in others the reduction was even lower.
It is estimated that the average reduc-

tlon has been about 35 per cent. :Citl
zens from all sections of tbe city pat
ronlze the market scores even driving
down in automobiles to make purchases.
Democracy reigns supreme, Mrs.
Banker and Mrs. Laborer elbow their
way good naturedly through the crowds.
The variety of produce - that -can ie
had at the market la constantly in
creasing. You can buy meats from
several dealers. The farmers bring In
their home cured meats milk, cream
and butter can be had at lowered prices.
Owners of orchards are greatly bene
fited by selling cider produced from
their second grade apples that could
not have otherwise been marketed In
this season of plenty. The thrifty
housewife dresses a few chickens in
order to piece out her pin money some
prepare dairy dishes, others have choice
pastry that finds a ready market Sur
plus canned fruits from farm homes
meet with favor. A small boy tiring of
his pet rabbits found an envious boy
who was willing to exchange his sav
ings for a pair of furry pets.
Market Is Buocessful.
The market place has stopped the
agitation as to the high cost of living.
It has convinced the people that they
can secure their food supplies of the
best quality direct from the consumer
without tho possible chance of a combin
ation of middlemen.
The producers are bcnefMed as they
are always sure of a market for all
they raise; they can find a market for
a number of small products that they
could not otherwise sell.
The market will contribute greatly
to the growth and prosperity of Des
Moines. It assures people intending to
locate here that living costs are at th?
rock bottom. Manufacturers are as
sured that their workmen will be prop
erly nourished and that the low cost
of living will make It possible for the
city to grow and meet his Increased
demand for workmen as his business
prospers.
The market is now operated three
days a week on the oast side and three
days on the west side.

When I say that I can relieve and
cure you with my medicines compounded
of herbs, barks and roots, I am reason
ably sure of doing so, no matter what
other remedies have failed. To back up
my faith in my ability to do this I will
send you free, and pontage paid, a trial
treatment that will prove my statement.
A letter will bring you the proof.
The science of medicine as practiced
In China Is 4000 Years' old and entirely
different from that of the Occident. My
remedies, compounded of the plants
given by Nature to man fur the cure of
disease, have been tested again and
again and have brought relief and cure
to thousands when every other method
has fftiled.
Do not be discouraged If you have
not been able to secure relief from other
medicines. You have lost faith In all
medicines. That experience has been
the lot of hundreds of those who have
been absolutely cured by my Chinese
Nature Mediclnea. It will cost you
nothing for a trial treatment from me,
-sid 1 am mire you will congratulate
yourself and thank me for the experi
ment which will not be so much of an
experiment after all.
I do not, claim to work ma-fr nor t

road does pot eompare favorably with
gravel or "macadam as soon as the sand
Is added to the clay, it should not be
considered a failure. Its construction
Is a gradual process and the surface will
not be at Its best In less than six
months. If It gets muddy add more
sand; If it is too dry and dusty, more
clay Is needed. All that is required for
maintenance Is the addition of a little
more sand to the clay each year and
the orasional use of a drag."
SHAKESPEARE DINNER
WITH TRIMMINGS SERVED
(Hv 'be. Intermittonnlef'.'pws Service. )
London, July 20. A special Shakes
peare dinner was .served In the Queen's
Head restaurant at Kail's Court to cele
brate Midsummer day, and visitors had
the pleasure of eating -not only, baron
of beef and boar's head, which were
brought by a stately procession of wnlt
er.s, headed by Beefeaters blowing a fan
fare on their trumpets, hut also of test
ing such recondito delicacies as "Pea
cock Pie."
They . were not. however, expected to
drink, mead or .small beer: la tbe mat
ter of beverages the Improvements of
modern deys were recognized, and cham
pagne and liquors were provided. The
menu was well spiced with suitable
Shakespearean quotations.
"May good digestion wait on appetite
and health on both," formed the appro
priate opening line, and turtle soup
was then served. Did Shakespeare know
of turtle soup?
It seems doubtful, but as one gueslr
kindly suggested, perhaps tho turtle
which provided the songs lived In
Shakespeare's day, seeing 600 years Is
supposed to be a moderate age for a
turtle. I-ater on haunch of venison
was served, "a dish fit for the gods,"
and the famous peacock pie, boar's head
and spiced beef, minced patties and
plun pudding formed the' sweets a re
volutionary item for mid-summer; but
coffee was permitted and tobacco in
various forms. It was. In fact, a
Shakespeare dinner with Improvements,
and was nitlth enjoyed.
and even at this price the butchers
cannot make both ends meet.
They have Just held a congress to
protest against the scarcity of edible
horseflesh and to protest against the.
Import tax on horses Intended for hu
man food.
The crisis is so acute that they threat
en to close their shops unless the tax
Is removed or decreased at least tem
porarily. Similar protests have come
from Marseilles, Bordeaux, Lyons, Troyes,
Lille, Kotibalx, Naness, and other cities,
and although the national horse-breeders'
supply 200,000 animals annually,
there Is no doubt that the demand is
greater than the supply.
The horses used In France for food
are generally over five years of age, and
the Import tax on such horses Is no less
than J30 per head.

SOLDIER IN MORPHINE
STUPOR FOR 48 HOURS
Paris. July 0. The other day at the
Tarbea Barrack a soldier slept for 48
hours In spite of the efforts of his com
rades to wake him. becoming alarmed,
they informed the major, whq examined
the sleeper and found on hip body tracea
of what seemed to be a number of pin
nrieks The doctor was called, anil the
truth came out. The sleeper was a, morphia-maniac.
A general Inquiry was made Into the
circumstances of the case, which led to
the discovery of 13 more soldiers ad
dicted to the morphine habit. They
are now all being looked after In hos
pital. For the most part these men. It
seems, are medical students, and It was
through some friends In the Ked Cross
brigade that they procured the large
quantities of the drug which have been
consumed.
Since the Inquiry there is also talk
of an opium den in the" Tarbes.

LAD TO BE WHIPPED
FOR ATTEMPT TO KILL
(Py the International News Sorvirp.)
London, July 10 A boy's infatuation
for a young actress was described at
the Derby Assizes Court when Charles
Brown, aged 15. was charged with shoot
ing -at a 17-year-old Xrlond, named ?aw
rence Fltehctt.
Counsel for the dclenre said that
both lads lived at Melbourne, where a
young actrcsa at the loeal theatre, Nel
lie Payne, aged 20, had aroused the ad
miration of the boys. On May 8 she
was to give a farewell song and dance.
That afternoon Brown saw Kltehett buy
a bottle of scent, and Jumped to the
conclusion that it was a present for
Miss Payne. Later ho saw Kltehett and
the girl sitting on a stile. Followed
by other lads, whom he had invited to
'see the fun" he crept up and fired an
old pistol at Fitchett,
The Jury found the lad guilty of com
mon assault, and Lord Coleridge ordered
him to receive 12 strokes with the birch
following 10 days' detention.
Later tho Judgo made a curious of
fer to tho boy's father. The boy, he
said, could go home for ten days if the
father undertook to deliver him at that
time for a whlpp'.-.g. If no appeal was
to be rnRde the lad could go to Jail any
time for his whipping, and then be liberated.

Washington, July . 20. The old
"Spanish, prisoner" - swindling game,
which, a few years ago, caught quit a
few victims in this country, nas Deen
revived again, this time appearing in
a cleverer and more dangerous form
than ever before. At present it Is being
worked in England, writes ConBul Rod-
ert Fraser Jr., from Valencia, Spain,
and during the past two weeks 12 cases
have boen reported to the British con
sul at Valencia from England.
" Bo Tar as is known, however, no one
has yet fallenvictim tb the new form
of swindle. Those receiving the pre
liminary advances of the swindlers by
mail simply referred the letters to the
government authorities.
The old swindle always got its money
by mail and the victims thus never
suffered bodily harm. The new vari
ation asks the victim to come personally
to Spain, bringing $2400 "in gold" with
him. What would happen to a stranger
with J2400 In gold In his belt, falling in
with a company of desperadoes In some
lonely part of Spain can readily be
imagined. A little powder in his cof
fee, or a dagger between his ribs, and
It would be all over.
"Russian Banker" Swindle Thrives,
Another, though not so clever Imita
tion of the swindle Is also being worked
from Spain. Consul Fraser In his com
munication describes both new systems.
According to Frazcr, the less clever of
the two imitations tells to the victim the
story of a "Russian banker" who ab
sconded with 5,000,000 roubles and af
terwards shot a compatriot while hid
ing in London. He plays the part of the
prisoner In the scheme.
His letter encloses a newspaper clip
ping In English giving his history and
the -story of his arrest, and letter tells
about his portmanteau with the secret
pocket containing tho voucher for 14S0,
000, and offering a third part as reward
to his rescuer, lie instructs the victim
not to write., but to cable. In case he is
willing to assist the prisoner.
The other scheme, or that of "the
Paris banker," Is much mora cleverly
done. This opens like the last, though
more guardedly, and with no mention of
a murder. The victim Is also earnestly
requested not to write, but to cable to
a certain address In Valencia.
Fiazer writes that an American out
of .curiosity cabled as requested, and
when ho received"' his Instructions, sent
them to the consul.
He Is asked to bring with him J240O
In gold In order to pay the costs and
free the prisoner's effects, but was as
sured that he would have to pay noth
ing until, through the aid of a friendly
prisoner guard, he bad actually seen th
hidden draft an telegraphed to a New
York bank to Inquire If it was good and
would -be paid to the bearer.
New Scheme Sounds Plausible.
This, apart from tho convincing tone
of the wholo letter and the perfectly
counterfeited documents, seals, newspa
per clippings, etc., accompanying It, Is
the most plausible factor connected
with tho scheme. The clement of dan
ger is in the arrangement that the prison
guard is to ask for leave of absence for
the purpose of meeting the American at
Zarapoza on his way to Valencia. The
excuse for this Is that the latter and
tho guard should bring the bankers
daughter from the asylum in Zarn
goza where the authorities have placed
her.
The American Is asked to wear a
handkerchief round his wrist on de
scending from the, train at Zaragnzas
as Identification, and Is told to go to a
certain hotel there. it seems not un
likely that apart from the money loss
a dupe arriving ns far ns the last stagn
with $2lnn in rash would probably suf
fer foul play as well.
AcL'oidiiig to Frazcr, the original
Spanish prisoner or Cuban prisoner
swindle was very successful until 1t
was thoroughly exposed. In 1907 alonu
American dupes are known to have con
tributed about 13,.OO0 to.Jtbe swindlers,
and the consul regards It ns certain
that there were many other victims who
preferred taking their losses In silence
to having their gullibility known.
Swindlers Well Organized.
"The swindlers were so well organ
ized," writes Frazcr, "had so many years
of experience In working their fraud,
and had it so well arranged to wTk
through a chain of people, of whom
many were merely eats' paws who them
selves did not realize the part they were
playing, that It was n matter or ex
tremo difficulty to bring any of the
ringleaders to Justice.
"Occasionally one of thetr tools, or
even a more guilty accomplice, would
be caught, but, somehow, sufficient evi
dence was never ahtalned to convlet
the ringleaders and definitely break up
the gang. Finally, through some splen
did work done by Consul C. S. Wlnans
at this post In 1 0 OX, by means of trac
ing backwards through endorsements on
drafts cashed by swindlers, several of
the gang who were probably pretty c!o3e
to the guiding spirits were caught."
