SAND ROADWAY What Anthony Rankin Says--The ¥ Oil Penetrates Better When Not Mixed With Sand. Since thé oil has been placed on the new highway which extends from '} | the junction of the Bath Road and | Princess street to Cataraqui many | people have complained about no | sand being put on the surface. Anthony Rankin, M.P.P., a mem- ber of the highway commission, when asked by the Whig about the oiling, stated that there were several reasons why sand had not been used. It is stated by men who have been building raods for years that the proper way to make the road is to place a coat of oil on' the surface and allow it to penetrate into the road and not place any sand on it. By allowing the oil to penetrate it means that it binds the road better and keeps it free of rits and holes. After the oil is on a short time, a second quantity of oil is placed on it and swept into the road and then sand is placed on the top. The road is treated a number of times and a perfect surface results. Mr. Rankin stated that after the road is oiled it will be allowed to | settle for a couple of years and if {it shows any signs of wear an as- phalt top will be constructed on it. It has been proven by experience that the best way to build a road to make a macadam base and after it settles, | it makes a good, if not better road- | way than are with a concrete base. Those who had the opportunity of seeing the oil placed on the road were amazed at the | which it was done. The large mot- { or machine is capable of spreading 8,000 square yards of road a day.

WORKING HARD i , | TO GET IN THE OROPS--OANNOT GET HELP. | Potato Crop Should Be Very Large-- Whig Man Saw Two Farms That Had Not Been Seeded. Farmers report that it' is many yea since they have had to work 80 a in getting in the crops. It | it almost impossible to get men to hag been so favorable that the crop is farther advanced than in previous years, requiring immediate attention. Some farmers report that some help is available, but unfortunately, it is not trained sufficiently. In many sections of the surtound- ing counties, many farmers have had to work: day and might ¢o get in the crop. It is stated that although the hay crop was smaller than last year, it is hardly cut until some of the | grain was almost ready to be harvest- jed. Up until last week practically all the hay had been placed in the barns; Most of the farmers were spending their time in cutting the grain and getting it ready for the {threshers. It was found necessary for farm- ers to assist one another. Up until the present time it is almost impossible to say much about potatoes as most of the farmers have | been too busy getting in the grain {and hay to think of bringing loads ! | assist them, and secondly the weather | SS TRE | of potatoes to the market. Men who ! {make a business of growing potatoes | state that unless some blight strikes {the late ones there should be a re- | |cord crop.

ABOLISH STRIPED UNIFORM WORN BY CONVICTS IN THE i PENITENTIARY. | Comtortabie Blue Suits For Winter Wear and Denim For Summer-- Better Clothing 'For Discharged Prisoners. The Ottawa J®urnal Says: | Prison stripes, which, through | years of use, have acquired a sinister and degrading significance, will dis- {appear within the .next year from | Canadian penal institutions, and, | henceforth, discharged convicts, their iety paid, will no longer debt to soc | bear witlf them into their free world {the unenviable prison stigma, in- | delibly symbolised by the unmistake- {able discharge clothing which was | previously supplied by the govern- ment. | Believing that the old striped uni- {form in which all convicts have been previously garbed has a tendency toward degrading and hardening prisoners, the department of justice, after much deliberation, has decided to abandon it. In the future, two uniforms, one for summer wear and one for winter, will be supplied to take its place. Made from endurable unicolored brown denim, the new summer uni- form will consist of jack and trous- ers cut in conventional pattern with none of the hitherto distingutshing prison features. The huge painted numbers which, insthe old uniform, adorned the back and chest of the wearer and whieh was unnecessarily conspicuous, will be abandoned. They will 'be - replaced with small, neat metal number plates, secured to the back and breast of the jacket, quite inconspicuous and equally efficient. Straw hats will bs worn as headgear with the summer uniform. "The winter clothing will be made from French blue cloth while num- bers similar to those on the summer uniform will be affixed. Round clotn- caps, similar in design to the forage cap issued by the German govern- ment to field regiments, of blue cloth, and with ear-flaps, will complete the convicts' winter equipment: The usual issue of boots will be continued. 'The most radical change, however, will be made in the provision of dis- charge clothing for prisoners. In former years the government has been wont to provide grey tweed suits, badly cut and absolutely un- mistakable to residents of prison cities. These suits will be replaced by welltailored and modern gar- ments in many varieties of texture and colorings. They will also be made to order, and, when the prison- er receives his discharge, he will laave prison garbed in'clothing whica will not betray the fact of his mis- fortune to the first man or woman whom he may meet upon the street. The department has made ar- rangements to secure loom ends from "TWICE TOLD TALES * fEN YEARS AGO, The Supreme Grand Louge ui the Loyal True Blue Association of North America is holding its annual ses- sion in the city today.
