Hoyt Martin, who lived about half
way between Newsome and Leesburg
was run over by an east-bound L. R.
& N. passenger train Sunday night
at 1:40 and horribly mangled. Mar-
tin was asleep on the track and his
body was lying across across one of
the steel rails when he was struck.
A fruit jar partly filled with liquor
was found nearby. He was killed
within a quarter of a mile of his
home and about, half way between
Leesburg and Newsome. The body
was on the track around a curve and
it is said the engineer did not see
the object in time to stop the train.) Sold at all good accessory stores
The remains were taken up and
brought to Pittsburg on the sam»
train and carried to Nelson-Crump
^ I ler’s where they were dressed for
it ! burial. Funeral services were held

It requires no elaborate argument
to convince any person of intelli-
gence that good roads make possible
great savings of time, vehicle wear
and gasoline consumption, to say
nothing of the added comfort of
travel.
Travel on a scale that is extensive
enough to fairly determine what
these savings amount to were re-
cently undertaken with several two-
ton trucks. It was found that on
average dirt roads these trucks
would travel slightly less than six
miles on a gallon of gasoline, while
on paved roads they would make a
fraction less than twelve miles to the
gallon.
In tire costs it was found that
paving roads likewise showed a sav-
ing of approximately one-half as
compared with macadamized rods.
While the exact saving in wear and
tear of the vehicle, aside from tires,
is not so easily determined, it seems
safe to assume that the life of a car
would also he practically doubled on
paved roads.
Considering gasoline alone, it ap-
pears that good roads save enough
to pay for themselves long- before
they are worn out, leaving the sav-
ing in tires and vehicles as clear
protit.—Exchange.
MRS. ROGERS ENTERTAINS
Why Fertilizer of the Same Guaran-
teen Analysis is Not Necessarily
of the Same Value as Plant Food
INSTITUTE TO BE HELD
AT PITTSBURG
A mixture of flour, yeast and salt,
thoroughly mixed and made into
dough would contain upon analysis
all the ingredients necessary to make
a loaf of bread, but yet it would not
in that condition be quite suitable
for humar food. It must, to give
it full value, go through the chemi-
cal reaction obtained by rising and
baking.
The same is true of Commercial
Fertilizer. It may contain the guar-
anteed analysis and yet be lacking
in the process necessary to a thor-
ough assimilation which gives it
greater unit value, and more suitable
as Plant Food.
This process requires months to
ccomplish and is the result of scien-
tific research. This costly, but ne-
' cessary, preparation is applied to all
