FIRE AT OLUSTEE
Large Part of Town's Business Dis-
trict Wiped Out
Olustee suffered the worst Are In Its
history. The flames were discovered
in the store of the Olustee Drug com
pan.v and before the tire burned itself
out five one story brick buildings, one
two-story brick and several frame
structures together with their stocks
of merchandise were consumed. The
new waterworks system was out of
commission, owing to trouble with the
pumps.
The damage is estimated at $."0,000
with partial insurance, and the follow-
ing business enterprises were de-
stroyed: Wilktni Cafe. Olustee Drug
company. Independent Harvester com
pany, Vahle Bros, racket and hardware
store. Farmers State bank. Chapman's
barber shop and the postofflce.
; Federal laws against the "Introduc
tion of liquor into Indian country"
were held by the supreme court to
prohibit the Introduction of liquor
from neighboring state to Oklahoma
I counties occupied by luuians.
ROAD-
BUILDING
TO LESSEN COST OF LIVING
Government Bulletin Shows How
Hauling Is Cheapened in South—
Actual Figures Given.
Good roads are an important factor
In the reduction of the cost of living,
j At least that in the theme of the latest
fanners' bulletin of the department of
' agriculture, which shows that the ben-
1 eflt from improved highways does not
accrue only to automobilists, but also
to the farmer and the shipper of prod-
i uce of all kinds. For Instance, there
are parts of the south, according to
the bulletin, in which the time required
1 for hauling goods to market has been
reduced from twelve to two days by
, ihe improvement of the highways and
a saving of three dollars a day in
j drivers' pay alone thus has been effect-
••d. Really good roads wquld save the
! cotton states of the south approxi-
mately $2,000.0000 according to the de-
I part ment, which gives these figures to
j prove its contention:
"In the cotton states of the south the
total cost of hauling the cotton crop
i in 1911, including the seed, was $37,-
i '175,634. Any system of road improve-
ment throughout this zone which
would reduce the annual hauling
charge five per cent would effect a
saving of $ 1.8G8.7S 1 a year From these
figures it would appear that it would
he good business to incur an expense
for road Improvement, even if such
investment entaih-d nn annual int
est and maint« i u.ce charge of $1,000,-
000 to the community of cotton states.'
"There are certain direct economic
or money auvantag* which iollow the
improvement of public roads in every
community. suys Acting Director
Sargent of tin department in the bul
letin "*! In se advantages are probably
most apparent in the reduced cost of
hauling.
"Certain dependent or reflex eco-
nomic advantages also arise in a com-
munity where roads have been im-
proved. The increase in the value of
farm lands Is an example of the indi*
rect economic advantages of improved
road conditions. It should not be con-
sidered. however, that, in presenting
the advantages of improved roads the
direct increase in the cost of hauling
and the increase in farm values are
1 entirely separate and Independent. The
i farm increases in value partly because
the cost of hauling is decreased.
"Whatever methods are used to im-
prove a road, the improvement for
hauling purposes is due to three
causes—the betterment of the road
surface the reduction of the grade and
the shortening of the length. On such
an improved road the time required to ;
haul a given quantity of material a
given distance is reduced. The reduc-
tion may be largely due to increased
speed of hauling, to increased load, or
u both. It is important to recognize
that for transportation purposes re-
duction of time is equivalent to a de-
crease of the distance from the mar-
ket centers. It is easy to see, then,
.vhy the increase of farm values must
ollow improved roads, for their effect
is to bring the farms, in a sense, near-
r the towns. The fact that on roads
with improved surfaces hauling be-
comes largely independent of the sea- •
son of the year or weather conditions |
| means another very considerable re- ,
duction in hauling costs It also means .
that many of the limitations of the,
number and kind of farm operations
are immediately removed.
"In order to fix one's ideas on the ■
reduction in the cost of hauling due to !
the improvement of roads, the trans- |
portation of goods to (hp railroads and i
of farm produce to marked should be j
considered. The cost of this work in
the United Slates at present is high
and is due mainly to steep grades and
yielding road surfaces on unimproved
ronds- When a grade exceeds a rise o!
six feet to the hundred feet in a hori
-ontal measure, it becomes an increas
tng hindrance to traffic. On any grade
n addition to the surface conditions,
the force of gravity must be overcome
The horse must also raise his own
weight and, because of the manner tn
which his strength is applied, it be-
comes less and less available as the
grade increases. It must always be re-
membered that the worst grade on any
1 road tends to limit the load that can
I pass over the entire road
CLEANING THE SOILED EGGS
Those for Hatching Purposes Should
Be Placed in Warm Water and
Handled Carefully.
If eggs, w hile hatching, become soli
j ed. and it is necessary to clean them.
i basin of warm water at a tempera
: lure of 103 degrees Fahrenheit should
I be used but not above this, a little
• less being better than a greater de-
gree.
The eggs should be put into this wa-
ter nnd the dirt gently removed after
soaking and washing with the hands,
then dried with a cloth and put back
in the nest, which should be first re-
newed with clean hay If not badly
, soiled they may be cleaned by gently
scraping with a knife or with the fin-
gers (.'are is necessary to avoid crack
I ing the shell or jarring the egg. as
' such an injury will destroy the pos-
| slbillty of a hatch.
Skill Required.
Kitad buildiug requires skill Did
I you e\er notice how many unskilled
1 men are working on roads?
