Appropriately Named
“Gosh!—that old dog is a sight!"
said a hypercritical acquaintance, from
over beyond Presbyterian Hill, “lie's
lame, skinny, blind in one eye. and
’pears to have ticks all over him. He
looks as if he had been scalded, too.”
“Eh-yah!” replied Gap Johnson of
Rumpus Ridge. “He's got the mange,
also tlie biggest appetite you ever
seen. He’s covered with fleas, and
howls all night. He hain’t good for a
living thing on earth, and I’d take him
out and shoot him if it wasn’t too
much trouble to borry a gun.”
“What do you call the varmint?”
"The only name that will fit him—
’son-in-law.’ ” —Kansas City Star.

FIRST SIGNS ON
U. S. HIGHWAYS
Missouri is the first state to begin
the actual marking of the recently
designated federal highways and has
now erected markers on over 40 per
cent of the highways in Missouri, ac
cording to C. P. Owen, chief main
tenance engineer of the Missouri state
highway department.
“As soon as all states had definitely
agreed upon the United States high
way signs,” he said, “the state high
way commission proceeded to receive
bids and award contracts for the nec
essary markers and supplies for the
United States highway system In
Missouri. •
“Since these markers are made In
the form of our national shield and
। bear the letters “U. 5.,” many motor
ists have erroneously concluded that
they are being erected by the federal
government and that such routes are 1
to be given preference in the form of ।
federal aid.
“The federal government does not
participate either in the cost of the ,
markers or the cost of erection, ex
cept on federal aid projects, and such
routes have no preference in federal
or state aid construction. These
routes are marked continuously across
the continent for the convenience of
the traveling public.
“Three crews from the state high
way department are now in the field
removing the old state markers and
erecting the new U. S. markers and”
signs. The erection work is proceed
ing according to schedule and will be
completed in Septerhber.
“There are approximately 2,900
miles of U. S. highways designated in
Missouri.
“All markers, warning signs, and
rules governing the location and
erection of markers and signs, have
been standardized and approved by
the American Association of State
Highway Officials.
“The U. S. markers are white with
black border, letters and figures.
The upper part bears the number of
the route and the letters ‘U. S.’ When
the letters ‘R’ and ‘L’ on a smaller
shield are mounted immediately below
the main U. S. shield, they serve to .
indicate changes in directions of the
route, that is, right or left. When a
large arrow head is jnounted under
the marker, it confirms or reassures
changes in direction of the route.”
Power Required to Run
Cars on Road Surfaces
The North Carolina State Highway
commission has a specially equipped
truck for measuring the power re
quired to operate vehicles at various
speeds and on different road surfaces.
Test runs made on a race track, at 15
miles per hour, showed the following
results:
10:39 horsepower when the surface
was wet and slippery.
9:30 horsepower when the surface
was partially dried.
8:50 horsepower when the surface
was nearly dry and somewhat rough.
5:17 horsepower when the surface
was In the best of condition, dry and
fairly smooth. •
Tests to determine the effect of
speed upon horse power were made
when the track was in the best con
dition. These tests showed the fol
lowing results:
At a speed of 2% miles per hour, 9:87
horsepower.
At a speed of 5 miles per hour, 1:40
horsepower.
At a speed of 10 miles per hour, 3:10
horsepower.
At a speed of 15 miles per hour, 5:17
horsepower.
At a speed of 20 miles per hour, 8:10
horsepower.
At a speed of 25 miles per hour, 12:45
horsepower.
At a speed of 30 miles per hour, 19:00
horsepower.
The North Carolina commission pro
poses to continue the tests for a year
or more, to determine the compara
tive horse power required at all sea
sons and in all weather on different
types of road surface.

People Are Learning
Tree Surgery's Value
Tree surgery is today recognized as
the one lasting way to preserve rare
trees which are beginning to decay
or trees badly damaged by storms,
writes R. E. Wheeler, tree surgeon,
in Alpha Aids. Tree surgery is like
dentistry in many respects. The first
attention a tree generally needs is
a careful pruning of stubs, all dead
and dying braneiies> and the removal
of limbs that interfere with each other
seriously. Cuts should be made on
the shoulder of limb removed and not
square against the main limb or
trunk. In removing large limbs two
or more cuts should be made to pre
vent stripping of the bark where final
cut is made.
The result of leaving stubs is that
decay sets in and then it is neces
sary to fill a cavity. Every cut made
with a saw should be painted with
some good disinfectant, such as pine
tar, asphaltum paint or heavy lead
paint. It is a good plan where large
cuts are made to shellac them im
mediately, then paint over with paint
as near color of bark as possible.
When cutting trees back never cut
the top out of trees very far back,
as this destroys too much leaf sur
face and forever ruins their beauty.
Furthermore, cavities are likely to
come where cuts were made, and
eventually you have hollow trees,
weakened and diseased, a prey to
every windstorm.
Too Little Attention
Paid to Advertising
The newspapers of the country have
built up the motion-picture industry.
The advertising account of the rail
roads should give consideration to the
newspapers when copy is placed be
cause these railroads are dependent
and hope to live off the prosperity
created and developed by the news
papers of that section.
Cities and communities all along the
Pacific coast are showing an increas
ing interest In the possibilities of com
munity advertising through newspa
pers. Representative newspaper men
from all parts of the coast have dis
cussed plans whereby this service
might be extended. The consensus
was that this type of advertising had
been universally successful. Figures
show that definite results were ob
tained.
Many an advertised commodity out
strips its nonadvertised rivals not
alone because it becomes known, but
because the advertiser, once his
product is identified in the public
mind, has a strong motive for main
taining its quality, as well as look
ing for possible improvements that
will constitute additional sales argu
ments. It has been demonstrated that
precisely the same effect has been
observed in community improvement
in connection with well-planned com
munity advertising campaigns.
Pleasures of Small Towns
There is more than one privilege
and pleasure about living in a small
town. One of them is in going in
your shirt sleeves; another is in sit
ting on the shady side of a business
house in the summer time and the
sunny side in the winter. If you want
to speak to a friend three blocks
away, you can yell and squall at him
and you can carry on a loud, holler
ing conversation; you can always find
a place to park; you can turn around
in the middle of the block; you have
a lot of friends, and when you are
with one of them you can talk about
all the balance; you can keep up with
everybody else’s business except your
own, and many, many others, but they
are too numerous to mention. —Gaff-
ney (Mass.) Ledger.
Outlines Work for Clubs
Town and country relations should
be made a major project in the pro
gram of the Wisconsin-Upper Michigan
district of Kiwanis clubs during the
coming year.
This department of work should be
put into “a real place of prominence,” j
Prof. J. H. Kolb, Madison, chairman ;
of the planning committee, reported. !
He also recommended that men be .
appointed to both district and local i
committees who would put real time
and effort into the service, that proj- j
ects of work be undertaken “of such
a character as to challenge the atten
tion, command the respect and secure
the support of the entire membership
of the clubs,” and tlyit sufficient funds
be included in both'district and local
budgets to make such a program a
reality.
Plan for City's Future
The future of any city depends upon
the mobilization of a well-rounded set
of resources, according to Thomas j
Randall, sales manager of a leading
Detroit company.
“A city Is a great deal like an in
dividual,” Mr. Randall said. “A man
might be very rich and yet lack the '
other qualities that give poise and, I
for that reason, fail to be accounted ,
a success. As with an individual, so
with a city, each needs a combined set
of abilities and resources to reach
success. It' is only when all of the
various details have been carefully
mobilized into a completed whole that
a city can feel confidence in its fu
ture.”

DR. W. B. CALDWELL
AT THE AGE OF 83
To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello,
111., a practicing physician for 47
years, it seemed cruel that so many
constipated infants and children had
to be kept “stirred up” and half sick
by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts,
calomel and nasty oils.
While he knew that constipation
was the cause of nearly all children’s
little ills, he constantly advised
mothers to give only a harmless laxa
tive which would help to establish
natural bowel “regularity.”
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
mothers have a regulating laxative
which they can depend upon whenever
a child is constipated, bilious, feverish
or sick from a cold, indigestion or

to her mother for advice. She told
her to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound, as it had helped her
when in like condition, and it has
helped her mother also. So Mrs.
Nagy started taking it. She felt bet

after taking six bottles her weak
