STATE ROADS DON'T LAST. W. f. Hill, Master of tho Slatt Grange, Crltl- cizei Highway Department. V. F. Hill, master of the Pcun sylvania State Grange, in an ad dress at Williams Grove, said; 'The roads built under the su jervision of the state highway de partment have cost au average of between $8,oooand $o,ooe;per mile, and almost everywhere I find they soon become unsatisfactory and id two or three years get to be a seri ous menace to the wry movement they are intended to encourage. "The smoothly rolled, fine oval surface looks very pretty for the irst few months, but veneer work in road construction will not last. The thin bottom layer of com para tiveiy smau stone, otten laid on soft dirt recently graded, will not support au average sized load in the spring of the year, and ruts and depressions result. "The functions of the highway department were designed to be ed ucational and helpful, not secretive or dictatorial. It was the intent of this law that the department should issue frequent bulletins to the town ship supervisors, giving expert in formation upon the value of differ ent materials for road purposes, for sewers, bridges, etc. Let the com mou wealth instruct and enthuse farmers everywhere in these lines, and then pay 50 per cent of the ex penses on the township road and we will have a big army working for general road betterment. "The state highway department takes the whole matter away from any control by the people locally, and with its almost universal prac tice of permitting the running up of a large bill for 'extras' above the contract price the taxpayers find themselves obligated in a much larger sum thau was expected. . "In many parts of the state this $9,000 per mile would make five or sue miles of good gravel or compact earth road, and if built under the direction of competent engineering advice would meet all local require ments, could be maintained in good condition under competent direction from the state highway depaitment, and would be a better road lor more months in more years than the present kind will ever Le." Fail Fashion Notes. "Girdles, belts and sashes are all very fashionable this season," says Grace Margaret Gould, the Fashion Editor of Farm and Fireside. "The narrow belt is no longer the vogue. Wide effects are in demand. Many of the models are made of folds of satin, and fasten at one side with a dat satin rosette and two long ends. Otten the girdle ends and sash ends are finished with fringe. "ine early tail imported cos tumes show much braiding and .many buttons as their trimming. Very large buttons are used, and among the novelties are bone but' tons having a satin center. The satin is either black or matches the color of the gown. "For fall many somber colors will be worn and very much black. Smoke gray will be favored for tail or-made suits, and both dark blue and deep green will be much wom, Revers and cuffs on tailored suits will often be of black satin. Paris is showing these dark tailored suits with a touch of bright color in the waistcoat, which may be of satin or velvet. "In skirts for fall many models will button straight up the front. in the way of a little neck fad vel vet dog collars are to the fore. They .are made of black velvet ribbon and fasten at the back with clasps md bows. They are worn quite as much with high-necked dresses as fot evening wear when the waist is cat out a little at the neck." State .of Ohio, City of Toledo, ) Lucas County. 3 ss. Frank J.

Tako HalJ.'fs Family Pills for con-fctip'ation, THE STEAM PUNT. rContlnued from 1st Fugc mortgage, had 110 power or authori ty to agree that the receiver should sell the real estate of the company free from all liens and incum brances, yet the said trustee volun tarily become a party to the record. His becoming a party to the record affects the bond holders, among them the exceptants with notice of the Court's decree that the sale should be made free and clear of all incumbrances. "Further, it appeared upon the hearing had upon the exceptions that the excepting bondholders had personal notice of the Coutt's de cree and that the receiver would sell the property of company free and discharged from all liens and incumbrances. It is now too late for the excepting bondholders to successfully object to the con firm a tion of the sale. The principle ol equitable estoppel as applied to case of this kind is stated in Gluck on Receivers pages 449 and 450. "In Wallace vs. Loomis97 U. S 146 a decision quoted with approva by the Supreme Court of Tennsyl vania, appointed a receiver with power to raise money upon certifi cates which should be first liens on the property. The final decree de clared that the money raised by lean or advanced by tlie receivers and expended on the road pursuant to the order, were a lien paramount to the first mortgage and should be paid out of the proceeds of the sale before the first bonds were paid. A holder of second mortgage bond objected to this priotity . The trns- tees of such second mortgage were parties to the action and had due uotice of the application for a re ceiver but made no objections. It was held that the bondholders of the second mortgage being repres ented by their trustees, were bound by the order made and could not object to giving the certificates priority. If the contention of the except ants is sound in law, viz: that the $20,000 mortgage was a first lien, and was not and could not be dis charged by the receiver's sale, they have not been hurt by the sale and therefore not in a position to suc cessfully object to the confirmation of the sale. If their contention is sound and the lieu of the mortgage was not discharged, the property originally bound by the mortgage can still be reached by them. "And mow September 7. 100S. the exception is accordingly dis missed and the return of sale is confirmed absolutely. By the Court, Charles C Evans, P.. J." 4 'And now, September 7, 1008. at request of counsel for the excep tants,, an exception js noted and bill sealed. By the Court, Charles C. Evans, P. J." Washing Curtains.

Low Water. Accordiug to the Sayre Times- Record, the Susquehanna river is the lowest it has been, since 1804. The records of the depth of the water show that last year the stream was very low. It was almost a record-breaker. It was only beaten by the record of 1804, but this year the river is lower than last year, and is now as low as the lowest record extant. C. E. Loetzer, man- ager or tne sayre water company, las guage marks on the company's intake in the middle of the Susaue- hanna, and he says that the water is now one inch lower than anv time last year. The river here is lower than it has been for years. At Almedia they are shoveling coal from the river bottom, which k dry in places.

The Care of Lamps. The care of lamps is an extreme ly important detail in the mechan ism of the household. Unless it fulfills its duty of burning clearly and brightly, a lamp is of no use whatever. And it cannot fulfill this duty unless all of its parts are kept free from dust and superfluous oil. If a lamp burns with a disa greeable oily odor, and there is no leak or other obvious defect, its parts need boiling. Take the lamp apart as much as possible, put the pieces in a kettle,- cover them with cold water to which a handful of washing soda has been added, and bring to a boil. Remove the parts, and after drying thoroughly, adjust them. Very often this treatment is all that a "smelly" lamp requires. All lamps should be boiled in this way but once a month.
