GOOD DRAINAGE MIS GOOD ROADS With an average of 27,000 tons of water falling In the form of rain on euch mile of public road In the Uni ted States annually, It Is scarcely to be marvelled at that the 10 com mandments of the road builder can be summed up succinctly In the word "drainage." The suylng has truth for a basis, as good drainage is the primary re qulHlte for all roads.. Even In sand roads this holds true, for there "good drainage" means such as will safely remove the storm water without ero sion or gullyjng and still retain the surface moisture. To secure good drainage one must lake Into consideration both the sur face water and the underground wa ter. The surface water must be re moved Quickly and completely with out subjecting the road to excessive scour or erosion. For this reason, the center of the road should be rais ed and the slope towards the side ditches should be from one-half to one Inch to each foot distance, or so that the water will run freely to the depth of six to 12 inches with coarHe Hand or fine gravel. Care should al ways be taken to secure a free outlet for the drains and to protect the out let with a concrete bulkhead or eatch- basln, which can always be kept clean and the outlet free.- The kind of tile to be used depends on local conditions. Concrete tile If properly made are equally as good as clay tile. Which kind to use Is en tirely a local question of dollars and cents. If concrete tile can be made more cheaply tnan clay tue can oe had, use' concrete; If not, use clay tile. One great advantage of the con crete tile Is thu they can be easily made by the local users at or near the place where they are to be placed, so that the freight charges are dis pensed with as well as the large breokage louses due to handling, Placed In the ground, both are dur able. If concrete Is used, great care should be taken to see that a good grade of Portland cement Is selected and that the drains are properly con- side ditches and not flow down the ' structed. The Impression, which road or remain In puddles on the roadway. The side ditches should be of am ple size to care for the severest storms with a fall of not less than six Inches to each 100 feet. Frequent and am ple cross drains should be construct ed and every opportunity taken to get the water away from the road as quickly as possible. Any roud along which you see wa ter standing In the side ditches or on which puddles of water have col lected or which has been badly gul-j lied and eroded by the rains has poor drainage and Is In need of Immediate attention.

The latter considers he has sus tained more Injury than -the store keeper. Being out of tobacco, Louis and his companion, whose name, he says, is George, broke Into the confectionery store of John Krpf. They secured a small sum of money and some cigars. After lighting a couple of the cigars, they were Just leaving the building when Watchman Philip Washowskl and his faithful dog, Bess, hove In sight. Waskowskl opened fire and chased "George." At the same time he called to his dog: "Bess, take care of that other fel low." Bess did. After the watchman had chased his man a mile and lost him he returned to find Bess chewing on Louis' leg. "For God's sake take away this beast. It's eating me alive," walled the burglar. But Waskowskl took Louis away to bo locked up. The New DRESS FABRIC For Fall and Winter 1908-09.

If tiles are used they should be carefully laid, true to grade. Most failures in tile drainage can be attributed to carelessness In laying, or too flat grade. Tile less than four Inches In diameter should rarely bo used, nor should a grade of less than six Inches to the 100 feet bo used unless absolutely necessary.
