Dorr, a Boston engineer, says, in an address printed in tiie American City, that rubber roads probably will be accepted in America as the ideal type of paving. They are now in the experimental .'age and are considerably more expensive than any other paving material. The test, as Door sees is. will come when the cost is computed for a long term. Rubber seems to show less wear than asphalt, concrete or wooden blocks. A rubber pavement was laid in London in IS7O, and there wore no renewals until about a J car ago. Practically the only experimental paving of the kind in this country was in Cuyahoga Falls, O. Rubber paving, laid on one of the busiest streets of the town, after eleven years was taken up in sei lions for examination. .Measurements show ed that it had worn down only one eighth of an inch. Enumerating the advantages of rubber toads, Dorr says: Wood ami asphalt arc slippery tinder conditions of moisture and frost, and rubber is not; horses obtain a good foothold on rubber, and rubber tires neither skid nor sideslip. Wood and asphalt are less noisy than granite or concrete; rubber is entirely noiseless. Wood and asphalt transmit vibration; to the concrete base and to adja.ent buildings; rubber suppresses v bration. Whether the rubber pavement costs as much or more than the oth- , er smooth pavements, it is worth more. « It is estimated that rubber p > ing costs three times as much as asphalt or concrete. If it wears three Fines as long as the usual paving material the eventual cost would be no more, in London the rubber paving showed three-sixteenths of an inch surface wear after being down for lifty-thrcc years. Evidently the plan to be followed In America will be rubber blocks, manufactured chiefly from old automobile tires and other form: ol waste rubber. Some of these blocks, in short tests, have been found satisfactory with only 15 Io 20 per cent, of new rubber. Cotton threads used in manufacturing automobile tires give added life to the mixture that goes into the rubber paving bio k.— • Indianapolis News. ——l, i » An All'-n county representative is i rging a four cent per gallon tax on ."a oiine. half id' which is Io be returned to tho counties.

THE GREAT ASSIZE

— We will not be judged by the laws of men In the day of Ihe great assize. For some laws are good and some are bad Some foolish as others are wise. * Through passing centuries laws of men , Are changed and what one age i Holds as the rule of right and wrong 1 lost from a later page. "I ins" of earth fix this or that As the law of life and of death One race heeds Conlucious canon Another what Ruddah saycth. Not by parchments (bat perish, penned. Nor graven tablets, or stoue, Shall lite upon earth be judged at last I Or the heart of the ages be kuowu. His spirit writes on the minds of meu The good All Father’s will. And the question is, “Did you truly 1 love And His purposes high fulfill?” And Christ will be the measure of man In the day of the great assize, By love like His wc shall all be judged Who rcadeth and runneth is wise. —A.

TESTING CUN FOR SEEfiINC — Corn Raised On William Beineke Farm Test; High; Yield Only Fair 1 William Beineke. well known retired farmer of this city azid owner of of the best farms in the county, lo atj ed in Kirkland township, brought in a sample of the seed corn which Rex Andrews, tenant on the Beineke farm, is testing for planting this spring A government tester is used in testing all corn planted on the Beineke farm, and the seed samples are about per-1 feet. The white corn tested 97 per .cent, and the yellow corn tested 96 j per cent. Mr. Andrews will more than likely plant forty to fifty acres of corn this year. Although last year was a poor year for corn, the crop on the Beineke farm was fairly good ami they saved about 50 bushels of the best corn for seed this year. The planting of corn in Adams county, one of the principle crops grown in this county, will take place during the early part of May weather conditions permitting. Last year some of the farmers did not get their corn planted until the later part of June and in some cases corn was planted during the first week in July. Adams County should raise approximately one and a half million bushels of corn a year. ARRESTED FOR STEALINGOATS - Three Men Confess to Stealing From Farm; Sold Near Here Fort Wayne.
