SAVING GOOD ROADS.
The Importance of wide Tires Point
ed Out Clearly.


Probably every discerning rider has
seen with indignation the rapidity with
which good macadam roads are cut into
ruts by the narrow-wheeled vehicles
which pass over them. From the fancy
buggy with its inch tires to the heavy
farm wagon or truck with tires two or,
possibly, 2H inches wide, every vehicle
cuts and unnecessarily wears the road.
Dirt roads are rendered impossible;
stone roads are made rough by such sys-
tcmatic destruction.
Under the influence of the l.. a. W.,
multitudes have been educated TO want
good roads, and many miles have been
built. Does I'VE want good roads" mean
that we want them for few weeks or
months; that we want them built to be
as quickly as possible destroyed?
In our campaigns for good roads we
have been wonderfully successful, not
only in getting many, but in showing
their economic value. Yet how much
more we might have done. five want
good roads" had been Clearly under
stood TO include caring for them in
diligently as well as building them, we
ould not now have so many stony
wrecks to ride over. Having done as
much as we have, does net the obliga-
ton rest upon MS to take the next log
ical step? Having created, must we not
care for our creation?
Can we not, then, every time we have
opportunity, preach good care OF roads.
And, TO be very definite, can we not sys-
tematically and constantly preach wide
tires? Pictures of rutted roads can be
shown with the legend: result of mar
row tires" Local consuls, when they
put up signs or advertisements, can add
TO 1--WE want good roads" some such
phrase as 'and wide tires to keep them
good" Education in these and kindred
ways will rapidly bear fruit, and only
d little thoughtfuluess Is necessary 10
make every citizen an advocate of wider
tires.
1t would seem that ouly improvement
would follow such a change. Wide
tires are said to draw as easily as mar
row, and, in many cases, more easily.
They roll the road instead of cutting it.
Now we have ton or more drawn on
wheels which track. and have tires. say,
two inches wide, thus making two
sharp cutting surfaces. Were tires for
such loads gagged at, say, three inches,
and tracking forbidden. there would be
two rolling surfaces of six inches each.
This would make road, not destroy it,
On our dirt roads such rolling would
soon produce astonishing results, so
that neighborhoods which really can
not afford the expenses of stone roads,
because of insufficient traffic, would
soon have greatly improved roads.
which would be iu excellent condition
the greater part Of The year
Let us not only want good roads, but
strive to keep them after we get them
