Charlie Brown, Barnwell. S. C. r Much U««d In m of SUd m Woll m (By T. M. CISKL.) Mmny roads ht tho oU Holds of DIV aols bays boon troatod with oU which Is a proTontiyo of mud as woll as dost I Roads that wore put is shape and woll sprinkled with oil last fall stood the winter travel which Is always heavy In the oil fields, and came opt In the spring with very little needed repairs. In applying oil to oar common dirt roads several methods are employed. Sometimes where the rood is In good shape the oil Is sprinkled on without any further preparations. This Is suf ficient for summer roads and for hold ing down the dust, but a better meth od should be employed where good winter roads are expected. First the road should be well work ed with the road machine, then apply the oil with sprinkler, putting on enough to well dampen the fresh worked dirt, then & disk or harrow should be used to mix the oil well Vith the clay; after sprinkling again, the roller Is used to smooth down and pack the roads. After this the road should be sprin kled once a month In winter to keep It from taking water. All ruts must be filled with dirt as soon as they commence to form. Also wet down this filling with oil. After two years of this treatment roads become solid and show but lit tle waste from travel and rain. Wall oiled roads are dustleas Band roads are treated the same way but require more oil to put them In shape a common water tank with street sprinkling attachment la ail that Is required for applying It to the roads. ) BARNWELL INSURANCE AGENCY W ILL INFI LL YOUR LIFE, YOUR INCOME, YOUR HOME, YOUR STOOK Insurance of every description and Surety Bonds written at lowest rates in old line Companies.

MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL Road Repairing as Important as Build ing, According to Official of Ag ricultural Department. Logan W. Page, chief of the office of public roads, of the department of ag riculture, 1b bending every energy to Impress upon the people of the coun try that maintenance and effective re pair are of equal Importance with the actual Improvement of bad roads. In vestment of money In new roads does not become real economy until provi sion Is made for keeping those new roads In condition after they are built. If a new road was built and then allowed to fall Into disrepair, much of the original Investment Is simply wasted. Quite frequently the office of public roads, when called upon for assistance by the various states, points out that road building is an art based on a science, and that trained men and ex perienced men are necessary to secure the best results from the expenditure of road funds. Statisticians have figured out that al though the average expenditure cn the Improvement of roads exceeds $1,000,- 000 a day, a large portion of It Is wasted because of the failure to build the right type of road to meet local requirements or the failure to provide for the continued maintenance of the improvement A young min entered the basinee* office of Perkins 4 Young, book pub lishers, and asked for the member of the firm who attended to the advertis ing. “There Isn’t any auch man," wag the reply. “We don’t advertise. I'm the head of the firm” "Don’t advertise?" exclaimed the caller, with real or feigned astonish ment “How do you get business without advertising?" “We use solicitors.’’ “And find them valuable?" “Yes, we do—eometimes.” “Suppose I can provs to you that you could sell several times as many of a certain book by advertising as through your solicitors?" “In that case you would make a reg ular customer of us. But I’ve paid for too many experiments In advertising already. 1 don’t care to spend any thing more In that line.” ‘‘But supiMise the experiment costa you nothing?” "You can experiment all you like on that basis." "Very good. What book will you let me experiment on?” “We have Just Issued Perkins St Young's Handy Cyclopedia. You can try your experiment on that If you like.” The young man thanked Mr Per kins for the order with as much im pressment as If he were to l»e paid a thousand dollnr* for It and withdrew One morning a week Inter the pub lisher on entering his office noticed that his mall was unusually Urge Be ginning nt the top of n pile a foot high, he tixik down an etivelojie. tqieiietl It and drew out n letter to which waa pinned an advertisement cut from n newsp:i|>er He t-egnn to read the lat t*r, which waa na follow a I with aalonlahment t ha In r! »«"1 tiot.cr f > ••or A ’ at it. .at tha L-o-'fc* l-«- tt.at ar* aUvar ?:•••.I * ;tav true h igi.orafe ** Tills la the nd t»ur lUiiiiljr i >ilope<Jia la r-'» r*a>1r in 1 * ■ o* aini-oo csl wrilara vtith rlr»t i la a a rapolationa in th« •v.h.e* la •n »hlch thrf » ru» A lmirai I’.arr t he artel* on th* »->uth i- U rtlr 1 r»t Si» »••' n t !•* rv» on th* n irth That t h* a 0* la to dat* .» *»1 <J. i l fro-i. th* fact that tha arttcia oo air >a Lj * hart-a 1'naar.a and tt.at on tho aorto a tia*.*o ti) A.frad tonnroon The e*<ter continued a» f..llowa Wtiat untiluahlaa litiv^d*o<* In a poh Ual.ar lo a*t ut a cyclopadia contain n* eu< h al*>t:»nabi* blundara Iruislry • III tra !i y ov. that Adri.irai L aar) la fittai! lo a Ml# about t tk* aoflh Inataad of th* »>uth l« 1* ai.d fir k.r-.a#t H.'.a alalon alw»jt tba #. jth natrad of ll»# North p«ua Tj yro»a , ,r a to dat* yoo aa > that > '.aria* l'i a * na a rota U.a arlwla on war and A. f *.1 ;«i.r.)a-n tf.at on na»t*a A.:ik.»at »..> i.t.r' a . a•* * I* 1 • * l •hfortn ) ou tr at t-ei. thaa* (antlamvr d!**l djrli a th* j 1 i*t «1.1 ^ r, 1 am curv u* l • ar*** *i.at r •. t:*an by an noun v ln( artt<t*a by t •** rn »' at. «•# in a d.ff*tanl n».d from '.tut f tha army or ia»» l <•..** a«nd , 4 1 ,f t ^* m >t . f r ; ■ *- t ,i»n If r r • • .a • ..-l*' .n* » 11* » '!

When Mr. Perkins had turned over the orders to the proper person he look ed for the card the solicitor had hand ed him, finding it in a drawer of his desk.
