ing the Office Of public roads Of the
department Of agriculture to advise
with the proper state and local authori-
ties having jurisdiction over the roads
used for rural free delivery OF the
United States mails as to the best
methods OF maintaining them in pass
able condition throughout oil seasons
Of the year, to suggest necessary alter
ations, relocations and improvements.
and, whenever desired by the c0mmu-
mites tributary to such routes, to CO.

said Office IN the construction Of such
sections Of object lesson roads along
said routes as are necessary properly
to illustrate suitable methods of con-
struction aud maintenance. The office
Of public roads is also required to in
spect and report the conditions Of said
roads to the postofiice department
whenever requested BY It to do 50, with

TREES At RoADsIDEs.
Valuable In Pr0longing the Life Of
the Road.


Now that the work of road construc-
tion is in full progress it seems a proper
time to consider what to do with the
roadside, says Good Roads Magazine.
The advantages Of setting out trees
along the highway, the planting Of
shrubbery and flowers and the elimina-
ton of features which do not tend to
make attractive have been frequently
dwelt upon in these columns.
In some of the states the question il
looked upon as much a part Of the
system as the roadbed itself, and laws
have been passed providing for plant
ing trees and cutting noxious weeds,
while in others the subject does not
appear to have been given the consider
alton it deserves.
Many farmers believe that nothing
but grass should be allowed to grow
along the roadside. The reason for this
is no doubt due partly to the fact of
their conservatism in following in the
footsteps of their ancestors, and this
prevents them from looking at the
subject in any other light than that II
is the proper thing to do to make q
clean sweep of everything in the shape
of trees and shrubbery.
Among their arguments are that the
trees cause drifting during the winter

Later in the evening Drusilla, dis
