| for commissioners to meet the Wash
iDgton experts and get their theory
and advise in building this kind OF
road and as good a road as possible
with the money voted, and the COM
missioners should take advantage OF
the years of experience of these ma
tional road experts and get all the
light possible on the subject. If we
could get hard or macadam roads out
three miles in every direction from
Bloomington it would be good thing.
| lone trouble with the roads
Throughout the country is the lack of
III iformity and system in working
them. We generally work the roads
when we can't do anything else, usu-
ally in the fall just tefore it freezes,
and if it happens to be n soft winter
the loose dirt holds the water all win
ter and it can't help but be muddy.
The dirt here makes good roads about
ten months in the year, and farmers
can get all their hauling done in that
time"
| Discussing the convention to be
| held in Bloomington 10 days after the
one held in Rock Island, the senator
said: Il understand they will take
the machinery we have here and go
on one of the wette,t or worst pieces
of road and show how to get the best
results with the machinery the COM
missioners use by systematized way
of working. This is good roads
convention. not a hard roads conven-
ton, and l understand there will be q
free chance for discussion and ques-
tions on all phases of road making.

are anxious to find out the date and to
attend, large mum Der have been in
curing about it. All the counties, l
believe, have sent in their list of
township committees, except Living
stOn and Logan, and both of these
have promised the lists for this week.
Il understand that the localities
that show good interest in these con-
ventions and are largely represented
in the attendance, will have a chance
to get good roads conventions for
some years TO come. under the direc-
ton of the Washington authorities
free of all expense to the local COM
mittees, except to secure the attend
ance, which will not be large eX-
pense when these conventions are
started.
''Ihe object Is to convince congress
that our farmers are interested in
their roads. want their roads improved
and want their road laws improved,
and if they have an opportunity, to
come together aud express their views
and get new light on the subject. If
we keep up our organization here
there is no question but we can have
a good convention for several years to
come at no expense to the local organ
ization for the attendance of the eX-
perts. There is no question that the
agricultural department in this and
other work should keep up with the
other departments in Washington"
