Nothing to he thankful for!
Fiddlesticks and lomwalkers!
He thankful that a merciful God
hasn't snapped the brittle thread
and dropped you into endless
eternity with the breath of your
ungrateful grumblings still
warm on your lips. Thank Hun
that justice has not been tie.tit
out to you according to/jour
ignoble conduct. Praise God
with jour puny wool gathered
soul that your unprofitable existetice
is allowed to continue
and that all your complainings
and ungrateful thoughts and acts
have not brought the death you
so much deserve. Give praise
that you still have health and
strength to complain in thundering
tones of the hard times and
low cotton.
There are a thousand thkig?
to lm thankful for, and totnor
row, the national thanksgiving
day, should he observed by
every human who has received
anything from the storehouse of
God during the twelve months
that have passed.

convinced ihnt the deluded souls
who try to inula* ;? living oui of
paper and ink and the local hap

who gel their money from the
never realized surplus. Some
men do not believe that a sub
is a debt.
They think of it as "of little lhT
portance because small, as something
to be paid if convenient,
but if not convenient "Oh, well,
I'll see about it before long."
Fortunately for quite a ood
many of us, /he number of those
who think this way is growing
smaller each year. Many good "

Western Judge on Wife Beating
A western judge is credited
with the following utterance
when a man convicted of wifebeating
was before him and
whined that he had to beat his
wife because she wouldn't obev
him;
"If it was not for the dignity of
the office ! hold ! would tell
vou, sirA that you are a cowardly
cur; a beastly, disgusting imitation
of a human being; a miser
able, contemptible, worthless
thing, made in the outward
shape of a man, but with the
mental and moral instincts of a
hyena; a vile, odious, abominable
loathsome, villainous,
execrable, pusillanimous, daddinged
reptile not fit to be
mentioned In the same breath
with a skunk. But as it is I will
give you the full term allowed

on a diet of bread and water and
God grant that it may choke
your ugly, rope-deserving throat,
every mouthful of it. Take the
execrable ding busted creature
out of my sight, officer, before
I tall upon him and make
him look like a plate of
raw hash wearing a hat. He
is so mean that I would'nt speak
to him if I met him in hell and
he had a chunk of ice in his
hands as big as my head."

CONSTRUCTION OF A CULVERT
Consideration of Economy and Safety
Demands Employment of O'.hsr
Materia! Than Wood.
By far the greater number of culverts
and bridges on our public roads
have a Bpan of less thJTn fifty feet. In
the past these structures have, in general,
been built of wood, but lumber so
exposed In this dry climate is subject
to rapid decay, writes Walter Graham
in Denver Field and Farm. Consequently
these structures require a
great deal of repair and frequent renewals.
The ever-increasing price of
lumber Is making the further use of
wood for this class of structures more
and more indefensible. The loads
which our highway structures are
called upon to sustain are also lncreas
itig. In many of our agricultural localities
the movement of steam road
rollers and heavy traction engines is
seriously hampered because of weak
bridges and culverts. Consideration
of economy and safety demands the
use of other materials than wood in
the construction of culverts and
K-J J
uriuges.
Durability Is of the greatest economic
importance. In many sections a
large proportion of the annual road
levy Is expended in repair and renewal
of wooden culverts and minor bridges,
and it is not unusual to find this practice
defended on the ground that the
county or district cannot afford to
build the higher-priced permanent culverts.
This notion Is simply a false
sense of economy. True, the first cost
of the permanent structure is greater,
but there the outlay ends, while with
wooden culverts there is a large an
nual outlay for repair, as well as frequent
renewals. Anyone interested it!
road improvement will find it most interesting
to secure the following data
for his own county or district: Tli'
number of culverts, cost of labor and
material for repair and renewal each
year, average life of wooden culvert *
and the ordinary life of wooden britl^w
floors. Then he could compute how
long it would be before the actual
present expenditure would pay for per
manent culverts.
hater improvements in the manufacture
of iron have made this materia!
more generally available for use in cu!
vert construction. A special quality of
iron, very low in enrbon, resists cor
rosion so well as to make its use ad
visable in many cases, and this Is an
important point for the Irrigated districts.
The cutting away of the soil
by the water at the inlet or outlet of
a clay or cement pipe is often respoqribte1
tor it", progressive breakdown
and parlfa-1 _cxposhr.es of this character
are extremely dangerous In time
nf freshet to any form of construction
It is doubtful whpthor the moWltr r>f
practical roadbullders have given consideration
to the fact that by building
suitable wing walls for any bridge or
pipe they can very largely Increase its
carrying capacity. A V-shaped entrance-way
so increases the velocity
of the water as tc enable a given conduit
to perform the work of one of
much larger diameter which has an*
end wall at right ancles to the flow
BAD ROADS VERY EXPENSIVE
Value of Horses and Mules in One
County in Missouri Deteriorated
3 Per Cent Annually.
From the 1910 United States census
reports it is found that the value of
horses and mules in one county In
Missouri was $831,089. The value of
farm vehicles, harness and other
oquipment was $370,000, making a totoi
* 1 or\r. ncn ?
CI I vi.-'Mi.uoii. i un inrDflll lUttiio
of the county cause all animals, vehicles
and harness to deteriorate throe
per cent per annum faster than they
would on improved roada. Three per
eent of JS1.20fi.0R9 is js3fi.1R2
This is only one source of loss
which the county must bear even'
year on account of had roads. Again,
the cost per ton mile for hauling on
the roads in tlio county is 30 cents,
while the coBt on good roads Is only
14 cents per ton mile, thus saving
1(1 cents per ton mile.
There are about one hundred thousand
tons hnnlfH an nvopoon nt
miles In the county; 75 per cent of
this amount would be over improved
roads provided the present bond issue
carries.
Seventy-flve per cent of the 100.000
tons equal 75.000 tons.
This amount hauled five miles represents
375,000 ton miles; 375.000 tons
multiplied by 10 cents equals $00,000
plus $30,182 equals $00,182 total annual
loss on account of present roads
us compared to imnrovod roads. This
annual loss d < liminated if the
main or hea\..., traveled roads of the
county were improved.
mew nodoi ror new rork State.
New York will construct during the
current year nearly four hundred and
thirty miles of Improved roads of the
best types under the'dlrectlon of the
state highway department. Of this
aggregate about one hundred and
twenty-six miles will oonslst of concrete
roads, 42 miles of brick roads,
229 miles of bituminous macadam
roads, 226 miles of waterbound macadam
road, and about six miles of
miscellaneous typos. This mileage
comprises the roads which have been
put under eonVract to June 1.
