GIYES HIS VIEWS
City Commissioner Jardine Dis
cusses Merits of Various Kinds of
Highway Construction.
CONSIDERS ANGLE OF AUTO
"First tnd foremost, the mstter of
good roads has a great many angles
to be looked at," declared City Com
missioner Jardine. "The advent of the
automobile is possibly the first angle
to be considered.
"Nfacadam used to be considered,
if properly put down, to be one of
the best and most practical cheap
pavements; but the suction of the
automobile going over a macadam
road has proved, in all parts of the
country, that it is a class of pave
ment that could not be utilized to
the best advantage, owing to the suc
tion caused by the cars being rap
idly driven over the road. The small
particles of dust that wear on the
surface with a horse and wagon were
pounded back into the road and made
part of it; but the suction of the
automobile draws it out and leaves
the road in a far more dilapidated
condition in five months than the
wear and tear for five years with
horse-drawn equipments, unless oiled
or tarred, and then it is not always
satisfactory, Therefore, it is neces
sary to construct a different kind of
a road, namely, a road that is oiled
or tarred so as to keep down the
suction.
"A dirt road, properly construct
ed, properly rounded and properly
bound by tar or oil, with properly
constructed gutters and drains to
gether with proper spillways, is far
better than any cheap macadam that
can be put down, as the oil iheds the
water; it holds together the dust and
dirt so that suction cannot pick it up,
and leaves the road in fairly good
shape if it is kept properly repaired
by this method.
"As to the relative cost, I believe
it is far cheaper than a macadam
road and far superior from a wearing
standpoint. Take the ordinary dirt
road, pulverized properly, and in low
and boggy places drain tile put iu so
as to take away any surface water,
and built up from the ground clear
to the top by being pulverized and
rolled as the grade is raised, and kept
dragged with a King drag, or an in
strument of that kind after every
rain, which caii readily be done in
the country by each nun having a
certain amount of road to handle;
frost and climate will not injure this
kind of a road with reference to ex
pansion and contraction.
"Take the road between Council
P.luffs and Sioux City. They have a
,dirt road there that is built along this
plan, with the exception of the oil
and tar, and after each and every
hard rain the roads, in one hour's
time, irre better than they were be
fore the rain, as they dry quickly if
the sun comes out and the winds
blows, thereby settling the dust.
"If you are going to burld artificial
roads, I believe the best and cheap
est road, in the long run, would be
a brick pavement with concrete base,
properly constructed in such a man
ner that water coming off the pave
ment could not run over the aides of
the road, thereby settling the outside
so as to crack the pavement in any
place, the center of the road on the
grades to be depressed some so as
to carry the water and dump it at
the lowest point. I believe a pave
ment of this kind would last fifty
years, if properly put down.
"The next best pavement, I believe,
would be a concrete pavement made
of hard granite laid in -such manner
that the center of it would be, pos
sibly, an inch and a half or two
inches lower than the outside, with
an expansion joint through the cen
ter of it filled with asphaltum so that
the pavement in no shape .would
crack, and that the edges of the con
crete would not wear any faster thin
the asphalt itself, together with an
expansion joint every eighty feet
crosswise filled with asphalt. In that
way it would eliminate all the cracks
that are so injurious to concrete
pavements laid in the country, and
would maintain the outside walls so
that the pavement would always be
intact.
"T he construction of roads leading
in and out of a community, if good,
are the most valuable asset for in
creased property values by reducing
transportation expenses, mating mar
kets easy of access, thereby increas
ing the prosperity of the markets. If,
on the other hand, poor roads lead
into a market, they vlll not be trav
eled and, consequently, they are a
liability instead nf an asset. They
are hound to reduce real estate values
hv keeping trade auav from, as poor
roads add to the cost of transporta
tion and upkeep bv breakage and
near and tear on equipment. All tax
payers are vitally interested m good
roads,, and should see in it that the
best roads should he maintained in
the vicinity of their properties that
can possihty be ecuird, (lunate and
condition taken into consideration.

Richard Johnston Crosier is deter-1
mined to be a navy man and in the
navy stand; a nice blue uniform on
hi neck, a niarlin spike in his hand.
Richard's father is I'rof. Merton
F,. Crosier, superintendent of schools
at Norfolk, N'cb. He has instilled
into his son the beauties of education
and the honors and emoluments of
the educational life.
But Richard wanted t) be a navy
man and sail the mean blue. He
cared not for the hiKh-cciled halls of
academic learning. J'hc uniform of
an admiral, a captain, yes, of a plain
able seaman, looked better1 to him.
than the cap and gown of a profc)r.
So his father came with him to the
recruiting station at Omaha- He
passed the physical examination and
was enlisted as plain apprentice
seaman and sent to the Great Lakes
naval training station at Chicago.
His father, the professor, accom
panied him to Chicago to sec him
settled there.
Young Crosier had the "alternate"
appointment lo Annapolis Naval
academy from his district. But the
other appointee passed the examina
tions and entered the academy.
Richard didn't hesitate to go in as
an ordinary seaman when he couldn't
get into the officers' college.
For a sailor can see jut as much
of the' blue ocean, he can get just as
much of the salt sea air in his nos
trils and feci just as much spray on
his face as an officer.

en. Among others were ads taken
from newspapers in revolutionary
war times and during the civil war.
Several other members of the club
gave shortt alks. Mr. Koethen's lec
ture being the principal feature of
the meeting.

GOOD CROP PROSPECTS
FORCE THE PRICES DOWN
A poor demand for cash wheat and
report of perfect crop conditions
over the entire country caused all
kinds of grain to sell off, wheat sus
taining the greatest derline, it going
off 2 to ,1 cents per bushel.
Corn lost a cent and oats three
fourths. Similar conditions maintained
at the other grain markets
Wheat receipts were 72 carloads
and sales were made at 95 cents to
$1.0.U; per bushel,
Corn sold at 6' !i cents per
bushel, with .' carloads received.
Oats were weak, selling at .18(5
,W4 cents, the receipts being 12 carloads.

Skin foods and face creams and

The headache, the lassitude, the
