KEEPING ROADS GOOD.
The Time to Repair Highway IL When
IL Needs 1t.


Ii Needs 1t.
Most everyone has heard of the man
who gave it out that he always took
bath every year whether he needed
il or not. A great many roads are
worked" on the same principle. Once
year they are given what is known
as a fixing up" and the rest of the time
they must shift for themselves. As
consequence they shift" from one side
to the other, just as the lay OF the land
and the lack of proper drainage may
demand
And be il remembered, there is some
times piece of road that nature has
kindly cared for-which really does not
require fixing. Often this is plowed up.
along with defective sections, and is
made soft and susceptible to ruts and
washouts. 1t is also then in a good
condition to produce the largest guam
tity OF dust
A good road should never be thus
repaired" A defective road should
be repaired at any and all times. Ii
is cheaper. and certainly much better.
Europe's good roads are the result of
proper building and constant care. They
do not have to be repaired. They are
fixed before they need repairing-in
the sense Of being partly rebuilt.
The one great lesson the people OF
our land must learn is, that the time
to repair road is when il needs it.
These once-a-year reformations are too
few and far between. Fix the roads

Most young men in choosing a life

young men from the country over
crowd the cities. For a cler<ship which

see the glare Of city life they leave a
good home and more comforts than
they can possibly compass by the
meager salary for which they work:

ton of labor-saying farm machinery
IL seems 10 me only about half needs TO

son who can appreciate, and therefore
value and admire. all the various plows,

would seem that but little hard work
was left to be done by hand. Old
men from other walks of life on seeing
all these implements are heard to ex-
claim: "Oh. that were young man
