ways Good roads are as important from an
economic standpoint to the farmer as cheap
railroad rates. and equally affect his profits
There Is no country in the world outside of
the United States that could stand what we are
compelled to bear every year because of bad
roads. We have the distinction OF being the
richest country and having the poorest roads
OF any on earth. While we have mastered
many things and all told have made and are
making wonderful records. We have failed sig
nally In dealing with the question OF highways.
Good roads pay from an economic standpoint
alone. but there Is a higher reason for good
roads. namely. the social. ethical and educa-
tional advantages.
1t would be interesting to know what other
countries have done upon this important mat.
ter and the illustrations herewith show the
conditions In other countries and also indi.
cate how highly important good roads are re-
garded in the several countries. We get a
glimpse herewith OF the famous Appian Way,
one Of the oldest roads in the world leading
from the Rome to Southern Italy. built before
Christ was born. 1t Is still In use and serving
its purpose
One OF the glories Of the Roman empire was
the construction OF highways When Ceasar
invaded England one Of the first things done
was the building OF a number of splendid
roads. some OF which are in use to-day. A
people that build good roads also look after
personal cleanliness SO the Romans built not
only roads but baths. One Of the early Roman
baths may be fouLd to-day just OF the Strand
