THE ASPERMONT STAR
Spring and Music
NATURE chose the most alluring time of* the year
for the mating of birds, the bursting of buds and
the reawakening of the brooks. A season full to over-
flowing of promise for plenty.
'Y
Spring manifests its presence by the song notes of birds,
and the music of rippling brooks. How wonderful and in-
spiring is this period. The pity of it is'its transitory hap-
piness, its melodies that are all too short lived.
Mendelssohn's Spring Song revives in our mind the
beauties of spring. And does this throughout the year irre-
spective of seasons. In like manner countless other songs will
conjure up thoughts of this enchanted time if you own
"The Phonograph with a Soul"
Why not make the entire year a spring time of song?
You have at your command the means, all that remains is
possession of an Edison.

There are tw« eletneuts (hut. should
be figured In the cost of road con-
struction. Firm, the cost of construc-
tion. Second, the cost of niaiutenunce.
It is the yearly overage of these two
that should always he considered
when figuring the cost of n road. True
It Is, that roads may be constructed
in such it manner as to need very lit-
tle maintenance, but these roads are
very expensive to build, and It Is out
of the question to contemplate thein
for the West. The other type of road
I* the road that costs a moderate
sum to construct and then a yearly
charge for maintenance of said road.

In Memoriam of Mary Louise Bulloch
v -Him-
. ' i '^Pl
The ebbing tide sweeps across the bay,
Tlie mists are hanging low,
And the sighings of the fitful wind
Fill our sad hearts with «oe,
The gray dark clouds hang lower .still
As the grief spreads o'er the land,
For Little Louise lies fast iisleep
With one white rose in her hand.
And ere its colors wilt and fade
And its stem be c-'ushed and broken.
% e'U give our word of condolence,
X A symbol and a token.
That tells a stricken family
In tones so full and free,
That they have our love and pity
In this hour of misery,
No more'li her mother's hands caress
Her face so fair and sweet.
For she is now an Angel fair
On Heaven's golden street,
It grieved our hearts to give her up,
Thi* darling sweet and fair,
But she is resting now in peace
In the City "Over there."
And as she lives in sweet content
In that great home above,
She'll keep an ever faithful watch
With eyes of hope and love.
And we, her friends who mourn and weep
Around her lonely bier,
Will feel the power of her love
And know that she is near.
Her faithful watch, her constant love
So pure and simple,
Will help to guide us on and on
To God's most sacred Temple.
And when the final day shall come,
And God shall call Hi,s own,
We'll meet her in the land above
Around the Great White Throne.
- Private Bill Smort, A. E. F. France.

hey are
mukiicnuiu'c as i have been nbii to
find is thut, practiced by 'New Hamp
shire. New Hampshire's roads are
mainly graveled roads. Most of
them are rightly constructed, the
gravel being wet and rolled as It Is
placed upon the road, hut in many
places this Is impossible on account
of the expense and ln^these places the
gravel Is simply spread upon the rojid
and left for the traffic to compact.
Many of these roads have to bear
a fairly heavy traffic, especially dur-
ing the summer months, most of
which is automobile traffic, and the
roads would soon be ruined were It
pot for the maintenance feature Of
New Hampshire's road system.
road maintenance Is carried
Beveral hundred patrolmen. Th,„ —_
html from the last of March until
the first of December, and their
work consists In patching every tit-
tle rut and hole that appears, clean-
ing the ditches and culverts and In
keeping the roads smooth.
Each patrolman has a section Of
road assigned him. He is required to
furnish a one-horse wagon, a shovel,
a rake and a light road drag, The
road Is smoothed by this drag after
every rain, and If chuck holes start,
fresh material Is placed In them,
tamped down and left for the traffic
to compact. *-
These patrolmen are paid an aver-
age of I8.2& a day and the total cost
of maintenance runs about $240 per
mile per year. The total first cost
of construction of these roads runs
about $4,000 a mile.

DIRT ROADS ARE PREFERRED
Much of the Wear and Tear on Hard
Road Can Bo Avoided by Making
Dirt Track on Each 8ldo.
Dirt roads arc the cheapest—and
for a large part of the year the best—
highways that can be built. Becauso
we want to use our roads every day in
the year we are willing to go to the
expense of hard road building, but
that Is no reason for discarding the
dirt mods entirely.
More than half the wear on the bard
road can tie avoided by making a good
dirt track on each aide. People will
nse the dirt road from preference
when It Is paaaable. The life of the
hard road will be greatly lengthened,
the coat of repair* reduced, and the
needs of tke feed users better served
by building this combination of hard
end dirt rotuls.
