Keen Ont Of Rut-saxs Roads.

1t is not unlikely that American
farmers who have with them always
the question of good roads and how to
maintain them may find in the follow
ing order, which was issued by the
Panama canal commission to officers
and men on the isthmus, n suggestion
of how carelessness contributes to
making good roads bad and bad roads
worse The order says:
Notices have been posted at the cor
rails, and the corral foremen have In
structed teamsters that the custom of
wagons following in one another's
tracks must be discontinued. Consid-
cradle of the maintenance work on the
macadam roads, especially during the
wet season. is made necessary by
wagons wearing deep ruts. The team
sters have been instructed to distribute
travel over the full width of the high
ways, and 1t is believed that the cost
or road repairs will be much reduced as
soon as compliance with these instruc-
lions becomes general"

CURED RHEUMATISM

Nearly everybody is susceptible to a
twinge of rheumatism, sciatica. tooth
ache, headache or neuralgia, and its
never safe to be without a good remedy
for an emergency of this kind
No matter what kind of pain you have
the beneficial effect OF Sloan's Liniment
is immediate. You lay it on lightly
no rubbing whatever and a pleasant
warmth is felt at once. The Liniment
penetrates right to the bone and quickly
stops the pain.
Mr.. Chas. J. Budlong of Anthony,
r. l., Box l2j, writes: "For many
years was a great sufferer from Rheu-
matism. My hips would swell to enor-
nous proportions and my knee joints
would pain me in the most excruciating,
awful manner imaginable. / used
often to have to fall from the bed into
a chair and thence to the floor, when l
wanted to get from my bed. | used
only some six or eight bottles of your
celebrated Liniment and was cured

rheumatic Sufferers. Refer to me if
you so desire. All letters answered. "

HOW WEEDS DESTROY THE APPEARANCE
OF A ROAD
front of his own farm. There is no
surer method than to take pride in the
road that goes past your door. D..
Ward King began his successful road
drag campaign in this way. 1t has
spread from little Missouri town to
all parts of the world.
There is one line of road improve
ment that is more easily carried on
than any other and consequently is
more frequently overlooked. Every
roadway can be kept free from nox-
ious weeds with comparatively little
labor If the matter is taken up prompt
ly. Each weed that natures bares n
more prolific crop of seed than it's
predecessor. If the fence corners and
the roadside are kept free it will be
an easy matter to exterminate the
undesirable weed pests which are COM
ing to be decided problem. If you
cannot drag your road you can at
least have regard for your adjacent
field to keep the weeds from growing
along the roadside.
When tine, labor and money have
been expended upon the beds of coun-
try roads and highways there is the
hope of compensation in the way of.
Improvement.
If the farmer west of the MISSISSIPPI
to and from his farm, why shouldn't
he pay some attention to the roadside?
There are instances where he has
an excuse. A rank growth of weeds
and briers may be more pleasing to
look at than the fence they hide, but
where land is worth $50 or more per
acre he fo-feits that excuse A good,
well constructed fence along the high
way will arouse a certain amount of
pride, which acts as an incentive to
get busy with the scythe and ak and
clean up.
Many county supervisors and men,
bers of the Iowa Good Roads associa-
ton are advocating the building Of
good highway fence. one which will
be an effectual guard against trespass
and add beauty to the landscape as
the real solution of the clean roadside
problem.
Most OF the road tax has been work
ed out Presumably country roads
will need no further attention until
next summer but they do just the
same. Thew must be narrowed, drag
ged and leveled continuously until fro
zen solid. This is easy; this is impor-
tant. Neglect 1t and the vast amount
of work and money expended will be
largely wasted This Is the weakness
of the present system of road man
agement in the middle west. The work
is not economically done. There has
been some Improvement OF late years.
but not much. Let the farmers help
by dragging and narrowing newly
made or repaired roads until cold
weather.

OUT FOR THE BEST ROADS.
Why the West Believes In Building
Highways For Automobiles.

Why the West Believes In Building
Highways For Automobiles.
"The good roads movement in the
east does not compare with that of the
west" said Horace O. Gordon Of the
oklahoma Good Roads association
while he was I'm New York on a visit.
81 think the work Of the good roads
advocates in the east has stirred up
the public demand and desire for the
best roads in the world i'm the west,
but | do not believe the eastern states
are carrying out the work so thorough
ly as the western states.
I'VE in the west appreciate the fact
that the opening Of the western cOun-
try depends entirely upon its roads.
and we are not going to build high
ways which will last merely a decade.
like your eastern state roads, to be
torn up by automobiles.
1--WE are building roads which the
motor cars cannot tear up. We feel
that the automobile can do us more
good than the horse, because we have
to cover hundreds of miles where you
in the east cover tens of miles.
at seems a ridiculous thing to build
a road for the use of the horse which
Is on the decline. and then when the
automobile comes along and tears it
up to jump up and yell that the motor
car is destroying our roads. The thing
to do is to build roads for the automo-
bile, and then the horse can use them
as long as he lasts, which will not be
great while"
