THAT TERRIBLE "LONG KNIFE SQUAW" AMONG the pioneers who crossed the to seek new homes In the West at the close of the Revolu-tion was a man named John Merrill, who settled In what is now Nelson county, Kentucky. That country was still as much a "Dark and Bloody Ground" as It had been when Daniel Boone first visited It and the fear of an Indian attack ever hovered over the isolated cabins of the settlers and their stockaded forts. But Nelson was the type of man not easily daunted and he was fortunate in having for his mate a woman of remarkable strength and courage. One evening in 1787 Merrill was aroused by the barking of his dog and when he opened the door to see what was the trouble be fell with his arm and leg broken by the bullets of a band of seven Indians. As he dropped to the floor he cried to his wife to close the door. Then the savages attacked the planks with their tomahawks and soon made a hole large enough for one of their number to crawl through. Mrs. Merrill Immediately seised an as and with this weapon she killed the first Intruder. He had scarcely rolled to one side when another entered to meet the same fate, as did a third. A fourth, unwarned by the fate of his fellows, was the next victim and by this time the Indians realized the futility of further attempts. The three survivors then climbed to the roof of the cabin with the Inten-tion of gaining entrance by dropping down through the huge chimney. But Mrs. Merrill was as resourceful as Outing lu ttmtv.Mvu, a auixeas ful Indian fighter and a man who, un-der the nickname of "Nullchucky Jack." was one of the greatest heroes of the old Southwest Although the new state had a com-plete machinery of government It lacked one vital thing currency, the llfeblood of a commonwealth. Lack-ing both the material and means for producing metal coinage, Sevier snd his sdvlsers decided to make uao of the commonest medium of exchange st .hand, the skins of wild animals The scale of values which they es-tablished was coon skins and fox skins, one shilling and threepence, and beaver skins and otter skins, six shill-ings. Other articles, such as bacon, tallow, beeswax, whisky and brandy, were also recognized as legal temler, but coonsklns were the commonest and virtually the basic medium of the system. Sevier's salury as governor was set at 1,000 dt-e- r skins a year. After a brief but stormy existence, North Carolina finally regained con-trol over Franklin by armed force and held It until 1700, when the territory was again returned to the federal gov- ernment In 1790 the state of Tennes-see came Into the Union and the com-monwealth of Franklin soon bscsms only a memory. Then Peace Fled Also. Tourist Is this a quiet place? Fisherman It was until people started coming here to find quiet Good Road Around Home Is of Much Importance Since this Is the day of automobiles and trucks on the farm, the question of a good road around the home place is of vital Importance, writes G. R. Farmer, in the Farm and Ranch. The county or state funds cannot build a gravel road to every farmhouse. That would be Impracticable. Therefore, the farmer must look around for an economical way to do it himself. When we think of the many creeks, with beds and beds of gravel waiting ts be utlllxed into a good road, we wonder why there are no more good gravel roads around every farm. The work can be done entirely dur-ing wet and muddy weather If neces-sary, and in this way the farmer can have good roads by putting in work on K at times when he could not be doing work in the field. Of course, It could not be expected to build any great length of road in one or two days, un-less the farmer has considerable help. But by first grading up the road, or a part of it, during one wet spell, finish-ing It the next one, and then put-ting the gravel from the creek bed on it each succeeding rain thereafter, un-til the road is up In first-clas- s condi-tion, a lot may be accomplished. Even though the gravel supply might not be enough to build the re-quired length of road, one needs only to wait until the next rain, and when the water has receded, he will find s new gravel bed waiting for him. To figure the saving a good gravel road would be to each farm would be an impossibility, for Its good will go en so long as the farm la operated, and the road is kept up, which can be done very easily by filling in each weak place with more gravel from the creek, as it is needed. So economical is this kind of road, that wherever there Is a creek with gravel beds, there Is no excuse for the live, progressive farmer not having s gravel road all around his farm. By among the farmers, a gravel road can be extended to the county or state highways, or to the next closest town. However, that is a question that would bring In other points, and this Is an article to apply to the Individual farmer who would like to have a good gravel road for his own use on and around his farm. It will be the means of his being able to do hauling In muddy weather, when It would be Impossible to do It, did he not have a gravel road, and this alone will be worth much In do-llars and cents In the course of a year In getting products or machinery un-der shelter when the weather requires it As this is an opportunity to have a good road with no investment except work, every farmer should give It seri-ous consideration, and make arrange-ments to work on the suggestion. If one lets other people absolutely alone, he Is apt to be left more se-verely alone than he likes. Business. A Baltimore importer contract) $10,000 worth of debt with a German house before the war.

The bobolink, the meadow bird with the bubbling music, and d black birds are being shot by the hundreds In the name of sport and in the prospect of a pot pie. It is forbidden to use firearms la the District of Columbia except during a certain season of the year when In a restricted area the bobolink, with other small birds which delight the countryside dweller in . the summer, may be butchered, on sight. The pop-plu- g of guns Is heard today all through the stretches of marsh grass along what Is known as the Eastern Branch of the Potomac river. Wash-ington, in a way, Is the headquarters of the greater bird protective cam-paign of the United States, and yet In Washington the Joy birds of the summer time are being made the tar-gets of men with a lust for killing. The story of the bobolink is an old one; but there are many In this Dis-trict of Columbia who do not know it and, seemingly, do not care whether they know It or not. A bird is for sport no matter what the bird may be. Intoxicated With His Own Song. The bobolinks In white, yellow and black nest In the meadows of the North from beyond the Mississippi river to the Atlantic coast They are known to every country boy In the laud. The males, seemingly, are intoxicated with their own music. The bird has been culled the "bucchanallun" bobolink. There Is a sort of a delirium in his summer time Joy. The song has been called rapturous, ecstatic, merry, sparkling and bubbling. It Is all of these and something more. It Is the abandon of music. The bird Is tipsy with glee, for be actually staggers in his flight lie cannot arise out of the meadow ou summer morning with-out attempting to beat time with his wings to his own music, and the wings cannot keep pace. The male bobolink in the autumn changes his coat and for the winter season dresses like his mate in dull colors. In the fall the birds start southward. Many of them nest on the western prairies, make their way East and then South. In the marshes along the Atlantic coast they are known as reed birds, and there they are shot by the thousands. An uttempt is being made In New Jersey to suve the bobolink from ex-termination. The New Jersey hunters kill them Just as the District of Co-lumbia hunters kill them. The plea in excuse Is that when the bobolinks go Into the Oarollnus they destroy a good deal of rice. In these states they are known as rice birds. , There always Is found some kind of an excuse to ease the conscience of the man who likes to destroy beauti-ful things. One excuse Is as good as another. If the people of the farm lands of the North want to save their summer-tim- e friend "Bob," they should write to their representatives in con-gress to ask that the slaughter of this bird of fine song and of fine life In the District of Columbia should be stopped. Plea of a Bird Lover, John Martin, an editorial writer on the Washington Star who has been bedridden for some time, has Just writ-ten a plea to the public asking that the killing of these Innocents of field and marsh shall be stopped. Mr. Mar-tin writes : "I am interested In birds. They have been my best companions since I have been bedfast In one time Just off my porch I have noted 83 spe-cies. I used to kill reed birds on ths Eastern Branch, but never again V This newspaper man with a heart for nature, says this of the bird to whose defense, he has come: "Many writers have lauded ths bob-olink as a sort of bird angeL Lore, they point out underlies all bird mu-sic. And .'God Is love.' When ths bobolink's song propels him skyward In s frenzy of gladness, it may well be, claim these observers, that ho re-sponds to emotions more tenderly and finely spun than any that Influence hu-man actions "Unmindful of the dangers that await them, these happy troubadours are now rising In flocks from ths meadows that stretch from New Jer-sey to New Brunswick and are head-ing leisurely toward the winter home of their dreams Paraguay. For those who have summered farther North, it means a Journey of about 6,000 miles, of which 700 are over the sea. Mil-lions of tbem will fall to complete ths trip. There Is not only the hunter's gun to be encountered, but traps and poisoned bait set out by the owners of the rice plantations will take heavy toll as they move along." PRESIDENT'S WIFE lEBOTETnl IMPORTANT POSITION IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHICH MISS LAURA HARLAN FILLS. CORRESPONDENCE IS HEAVY Vust Understand All That Pertains to Proper Conduct of Social Affairs and Know All the Gradations of Official Life. By EDWARD B. CLARK .Washington. A daughter of a for-mer associate Justice of the United States Supreme court is social secre-tary to Mrs Calvin Coolldge, wife of the President of the United States. Miss Laura Harlan, daughter of the late Associate Justice John M. Harlan, holds this really important White House position. There may be some plain folk of America who cannot understand why the mistress of the White House needs a social secretary. The title and the suggested duties may seem a trifle un-democratic, but every ruler of the do-mestic end of the White House activi-ties for a great many years has been compelled to employ a qualified woman to attend to correspondence and to arrange the hundred odd affairs, suall and great, In which It Is necessary for the First Lady of the Land to engage socially. The country has read much about an overworked President, It has read less about an overworked President's wife. But overworked the presidents' wives are, for they have multitudinous duties to perform which If not prop-erly done would lead to misunder-standings, heartaches and sometimes to breaches of friendship which, seem-ingly, are past the healing. The social secretary of the Presi-dent's wife must be a woman who knows residential society and who un-derstands thoroughly all those things which pertain to the proper conducting of social affairs In which foreigners here present are to participate. Truth-fully speaking, the foreigners are un-derstood to be the most difficult ele-ment In the field of White House so-ci-activities. Precedents must be observed, and If a subsecretary by any chance, should be given unintentional preference over a secretary, a war cloud would appear upon the horizon. Plenty for Miss Harlan to Do. Miss Harlan, present social secre-tary, succeeds herself In the position which she holds. She was Mrs. Hard-ing's secretary for some years. She has lived In Washington virtually all her life, although she was Kentucky born. There Is said to be politics In the selection of a White House social secretary, but It may be only accident that Miss Harlan Is of a Itepubllcan family while her predecessor in the White House was of a Democratic family. A social secretary to a president's wife works at least union hours. She must answer a good many of the let-ters which are written to the presi-dent's wife, but the number of letters received Is so great that It is neces-sary to employ additional help to see to it that no one who has communi-cated with the First Lady of the Land Is offended because her epistle Is not answered. There are certain letters which the president's wife must write in person and In her own handwriting. These are letters to Intimate friends or are letters cf condolence sent to persons who have met with a loss of someone near and dear. It Is Impossible, for a president's wife to answer all ber letters In person ; but it Is said to be a fact that every answer sent to a letter is read by the president's wife and signed by ber and that a large percentage of the answers actually are dictated by the woman who signs them. Many Write to President's Wife. American women In all parts of ths country write frequently to the presi-dent's wife for sympathy and advice. Then there are more than occasionally letters from prisoners in Jails and pen-itentiaries who urge that . the presi-dent's wife shall ask ber husband to give special consideration to their cases. Sometimes letters of this kind bring results. There Is a case in point, one of which the writer of this article has personal knowledge. Some years ago t soldier of the United States army deserted, was urrested, convicted and sentenced to the Leavenworth penk tentlary. While awaiting trannporta-tlo- n to Leavenworth he snt down anj wrote a letter to the wife of the pres-ident He set forth his case, telling of the reasons for his desertion of the colors, and then adroitly called the attention of the president's wife to the fact that he was writing the letter on ChriBtmns Eve, a time when there "should be good will to all men." The letter writer spoke of the loneliness of a Christmas Eve In prison afar from the loved ones at home, and In fact he played on the heart strlnxs of the woman to whom he was writing. Now, for the woe of the thing, the heart of the president's Wife was touched. She read the letter to her huaband. He pardoned the prisoner, who was relwised from the guardhouse and told to depart. Ik-for-e he depart-ed, however, he managed to steal enough money from members of the tws companies that were stationed st Bettar Trained.

Successful Road Repair Ideas Tried in Kansas Salvaging old pavements is an Im-portant factor In the work of the high-way engineer, and various methods have been adopted In ths different lo-calities. In Kansas, C. W. Boulson, city engineer of lola, has worked out s method of salvaging concrete pave-ments by resurfacing with asphalt In 1012 the city of lola laid s six-Inc- h cement concrete pavement on East Jackson avenus in the residential sec-tion. After being subjected to traffic for six months ths pavement began to show signs of disintegration. Trans verse and . longitudinal cracks devel-oped and where these cracks crossed traffic gradually wore boles In ths pavement According to Mr. Boulson, the crack-ing was not dns to faulty material or workmanship, but to expansion and contraction with temperature changes. It was decided that ths most economi-cal procedure was to overhaul the old concrete pavement and to use It as s foundation for a pavement of asphaltle concrete. All loose material wis re-moved from ths old pavement and all weak spots were cut out Holes which penetrated to the entire depth of ths old pavement or nearly so, were filled with new concrete Pot-hole- s and large boles which did not extend to the sub-soil were filled with asphaltle binder. Finally, an asphaltle concrete surface two inches thick was laid and the street immediately opened to traffic. Ths rejuvenated pavement has given excellent service. Some folks never put off until to morrow the creditors they can put on for thirty duys. In "learning life," It Isn't absolute ly necessary to get Into scrapes. Cost of Operation.
