forest scene in the living room,
as it *was decorated in brilliant

The dining room was beautiful
in the Jack-’o-lantern colors.
The centerpiece was a huge
pumpkin surmounted with fruit

walls and ceiling were festooned
with ropes of yellow and green

Bobbing for apples caused

Jackson County Good Roads As
sociation Making Experi
ment in Road Building.
The use of a crude oil in mak
ing good roads has for severa
years been extensively made ir
many Western and Northerr
states. In this county, the hea
vy sand has proven one of the
big obstacles to good roads and
to overcome the idea that sand
roads must always be heavy
roads, the Jackson County Good
Roads Association from a pop
ular subscription pledged by pub
lic spirited citizens proposes tc
use oil in .making a demonstra
tion road of 600 yards from the
Stuckey Corner to the first cross
ing south. m
The road has already beer
graded up twice by W. J. Nelson,
but wagons soon cut up th'e sand
and practically releveled the
roadway. Permission was then
secured from the county judge
to fanoa in tha roadwav temnor
arily, but the wires were broken
down and now it seems guards
must be employed while the
work is in progress.
The roadway to be oiled is 20
feet in width and in the center
of the road. About 6000 gallons
of oil is to be put ' on the 600
yards and will be sprinkled alter
nately with sand five times, until
the coating is about three inches
thick. The oil has cost 4 cents
a gallon and no travel is to be al
lowed upon the road until it has
become hardened and set.
