game was to be but five innings and at
the end of the fifth the Coppdale Kids j
won the game by a score of 4 to 3.
Dodd wanted to have a laugh on the
Kids, so made the game a seven inning
affair, and at the end of the seventh the
score was a 10 to 10 tie. Still Dodd
couldn't laugh, so on went the game to
the ninth inning and again the married |
men spilled in three runs, while Dodd I
could only get two. At tire ending of |
the game the score was 13 to 12, in favori

Some very sad news reached Coppdale
last week, when Mrs. Walter Copp was
informell by a letter that her mother had
died. It was quite a shock to Mrs.
Copp at first and she took it very hard,
hut now she is standing it as well as
one could expect.
Owing to the bum steer I got last week,
we have an apology to offer Geo. I .anger
in regard to ids lieing married, for such
was not the case.

GOOD ROAD ERA HAS BEGUN
Once Constructed, Highways Should
Be Looked After Regularly—Oust
Preventative Is Needed.
The good road era has begun
many states, and already the steam
roller, the piles of crushed rock along
the roadside and the digging out of the
original roadway are familiar sights in
many of the eastern states. The
roads built are generally of approved
macadam construction, which, com
pleted. are perfect strips of white rib
bon running through the green fields
and hills of the rural sectlous.
In
These roads are perfectly built, and
as soon as completed the farmers and
other ratepayers contentedly sit back
and exclaim;
"These roads are now
good for a generation or more without
trouble."
This la a serious error, and
one being made in many states. That
it Is an error Is borne out by the dust
cloud raised by a passing car travel
ing at 20 miles per hour, or perhaps
faster.
Many fall to realize that whenever
dust Is raised a road is being de
stroyed, says the Motor Age. Tills Is
particularly the case on smooth mac
adam surfaces, where there Is nothing
to hold the dust ou the road, and
where every cross wind blows off any
loose material.
As soon as roads are built arrange
ments should be made to keep them In
repair. With roads It Is essentially "A
stitch In time saves nine." Some dust
preventative should be used immedi
ately macadam roads are completed.
In order .to prevent dust.
Oil. tar and many spècial prepara
tions are now on the market, and the
communities should be educated to
looking upon these additions as a le
gitimate part of the road maintenance.
California has its oiled roads over
which motoring is a pleasure to the
motorist and not a dust-bath to the cit
izen who happens to be on the road
the same day, or who has the misfor
tune to reside along a well-traveled
highway.
Massachusetts proved last year that
road treatments are a success and
more economical than continuous ap
plications of water; and in England
dust preventing is always considered a
part of the road problem.

VALUE OF A STRONG MEMORY
Boms Who Po»*ei» It Aro Not Other
wise Asove the Ordinary— Chil
dren Learn Readily.
While a strong memory Is a great
convenience. It Is not necessarily an
advantage.
Cardinal Mezzofantl, whose memory
for words was so retentive that he
never forgot one after hearing It once,
and which enabled him to acquire
more than a hundred languages, was
in most respects a very ordinary per
Pllny relates that Mlthrldates,
SOD.
king of Pontus. had so excellent a
memory that he was able to speak
fluently 22 languages native to the
provinces of his vast empire. Yet he
was a cruel barbarian.
A well-known peripatetic elocution
ist and reciter still living declares
that he can repeat, without further
preparation, about 3,000 selections In
prose and poetry. He probably tells
the truth, since he has been training
his mind In this particular direction
for many years.
On the other hand, such men as Sir
Welter Scott. Macaulay, and Glad
stone were not only possessors of ex
cellent memories, they were also men
of good judgment.
Among human beings children have
the most remarkable memories. Un
der favorable circumstances they will
learn three and even four languages,
so as to be able to express their
thoughts with equal ease In any one
of them by the time they aro six or
seven years of age.
And they accomplish this remark
able feat without any aid from the
mnemonic devices to which adults are
compelled to resort when they under
take a similar task. They learn words
and phrases unconsciously, and rarely
forget them as long as they live. On
the other hand, grown-ups rarely ac
quire accurate pronunciation of a for
eign language, although they may be
able to use It with entire correctness.
It Is a common belief that the mem
ory Is more tenacious In early life
than In later years. That seems to
dejiend almost entirely on the Indi
vidual.
