aays that he would come that
way when he had a load although
it would be more than four miles
out of his way. ‘‘I have had some
experience,” said Mr. Roots “in
making roads in the sand, in
Kingman county, Kansas. It is
a common error to grade up
the road bed of sand on which to
put the material for good roads.
The method we employed there,”
said Mr. Roots, “was to scrape
the sand out cf the road bed to
the depth required and then fill it
with clay or other material. In
this way the sand becomes a pro-
tection to the road, but when the
roads are ridged up the wagons
will soon cut them down at the
aides.” Frank Shepler from
northwest of Capron, suggests
that the refuse from the livery
barns, that is dumped on the
sand in piles near the bridge
where it does no good, would be
good material with which to rip-
rap the west side of the sandy
approaches to the bridge to pro-
tect them from wind and flood.
All agree that the sandy road,
about 5-8 of a mile long, the
the most of which lies between
the Purcell and Sonderup farms,
is the chief obstacle that cuts off
most of the Driftwood valley
trade fiotn Alva. There is not a

At the present time Alva camp
has 265 members, carrying $436, 1
500 insurance, having in the last
six months added 7a members j
with $99,000 insurance, and have
in applications of 21 candidates
for $34000 insurance, which will j
be completed by the last of this ■
month.
At the banquet Friday evening
many visiting members were I
present from Avard, Capron, Da-1
koma and other camps.
More than 500 people attended ,
the installation of officers and at,
least 300 attended the banquet. |
Alva camp, which three years (
ago was the banner camp of Ok-1
lahoma, now ranks third, being j
only surpassed by El Reno and
Oklahoma City.
Question of Paternity.
Once upon a time a litter of
cittens came to the home of little
6 year old Susie. As is usual at 1
such times, the old mother cat
was very much in evidence. One
day after the kittens were old
enough to run around the house, 1
little Susie wss playing with one
of them and was overheard say-
ing:
Kitty, I knows who your
mother is, an’ I knows who your
sisters and brothers is, but kitty,
I don’t who your father is—I
spect your father must be a trav-
eling man.”—L?ppinco:t’s Maga-
zine.
