The outlook for the organization of

since all other classes are organizing to

COUNTRY ROADSIDES.
Keep Them Neat and Clean. Because
1t Pays to BE Tidy and Attrnc-
tive Anywhere.

For the last so years every one who
could et1ord to take a vacation has
been going to Europe for it. Only in
the last few seasons have Americans
begun to discover that it is fashion
able to stay in this country. OF
course everybody knew long ago that
this country had finer scenery, of
any sort mentionable, than can be
found IN Europe, but what was lack
ing was the endorsement of fashion.
Now we have got that. 1t is now per-
fectly proper for any one, no matter
how rich he is, to spend his vaca-
lions in the land of the free
Other signs are not wanting to
show :he remarkable increase in out
door life. The sales of automobiles
Sdicates il, for one thing. The de-
mand for good roads, also connected
with bicycling ard automobilng
rather than with hauling hay to mar
ket. testifes to the fact that people
are wanting to get out into the coun-
try to see things. All these move
ments, though they get their initia-
tive largely from the city people. are
of such great importance to rural in
terests, and touch the farm life in
so many ways, that no thoughtful
farmer can disregard them.
The condition of the country roads
and roadsides not merely influences.
but very largely determines, the
course of vacation travel; and, to a
certain extent, the courses of bust
ness traffic 4 very hurried inquiry
after real estate in any neighbour
hood will show how matters stand.
On a certain road where travel is
good. and where both the roadbed
and the roadside are kept up as they
ought to be, farms will sell for % to
| 80 per cent. more than on another
street n mile away where the road is
a succession of ruts and mud-holes
and the roadside a panorama of di-
/ lapidated outbuildings. tin-can dumps
and poison ivy tangles.
So much has been said about good
roads that it is not worth while to
add ANYTHING to that discussion now,
but attention should not be too much
diverted from the protection. pre-
servation and improvement of the
roadsides. The road master or com
missioner in a great many cases can
do great deal at little or no ex-
pense to make the roadsides more
/ agreeable, if only he is man of
taste and has his mind on the mat
ter. Sign boards at the crossroads
should be supplied everywhere, OBJ
iectionable buildings can often be
removed. attractive trees can be pre-
served. convenient watering troughs
can be located, and dozens of other
things done for the convenience and
satisfaction of the public. The les
son which we are just beginning to
learn is that such things pay. II

in public or in private.-F. \. Waugh
