-. Kentucky First,

A recent investigation made by the
Office of Public Roads shows that
Kentucky now stands first among all
the States in the total mileage of
roads surfaced with stone, fourth in
the total mileage of macadam roads,
and eighth in the percentage of i'm
proved roads. The improved roads
have been taken as those surfaced
with stone, gravel and other mater
iAis mere or les permanent. For
the year 1904 kentl- -ks az
tenth among the States in total ex-
penditures, seventeenth in total cash
expenditures, and, during that year,
thirteen States appropriated money
from their State treasures to aid in
the construction of roads, but Ken
lucky made no such appropriation.
Statistics compiled for the same year
show that Kentucky had 57,1S7 miles
of public road, of which sixteen and
six-tenths per cent. had been i'm
proved up to the close of mai year,
even though during the yea 1904
a cash or property tax of $1,161,194
and a labor tax valued at $987,4S5,
or a total of $2,148,689 had been ex-
pended on its roads.-Good Roads

Highway Fences

When time, 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 Missis-
sippi is blessed with a good road lead
ing to and from his farm, why should
not he pay some attention to the
roadside? In most cases the roadside
is the seeding ground of the noxious
weeds with which he holds an annual
combat in his fields.
There are instances where he has
an excuse. A rank growth of weeds
and briars may be more pleasing to
look at than the fence they hide;
but where land is worth $50 or more
per acre, he forfeits that excuse.
A good, well constructed fence
along the highway will arouse a GER
tain amount of pride which acts as
an incentive to get busy with the
scythe and AK and clean up
Many county supervisors and MEM
bers of Iowa Good Roads Associa-
ton are advocating the building of a
good highway fence-one which will
be an effectual guard against tres
pass, and add beauty to the land
scape as the real solution of the clean
roadside problem.-Good Roads Mag,

Advertising Value of Roads.

Advertising has become one of the
most important branches of buSilesa.
1t may be termed the dynamo Cf COM
merce. 1t gives publicity to what
one has to sell and is intended to at
tract purchasers. From the newsboy
who yells Special extra" in the
streets to the broker who offers "gilt
edged" securities in the financial col
umns of the morning newspaper, ev-
cry n attempting to do business adj
vertises, with the possible exception
of the farmer.
Municipal advertising is a recog-
nized division of the profession, and
there are bureaus which make a spe-
cialty of giving publicity to the adj
vantages offered by this or that city
in the way of business opportunity,
health, culture, recreation, etc.; to in
duce people to their particular local
tiles is one of the chief Offices Of
boards of trade.
At a recent meeting of the White
Mountain IN. H.) Board of Trade the
question Of good roads was discussed
from several standpoints. Among
other speakers was C. E. Farnsworth,
advertising manager of the Boston
and Maine Railroad, who took his
speciality as the subject of his re-
marks and spoke of the benefits of
advertising for a community Or a seq
ton. Some of his suggestions are
worthy of earnest consideration by
the jewellers of country districts.
"I think you will all agree" said
the speaker, that the public do not
go to the Adirondacks or the White
Mountains because of the mere fact
hal the railroads operate to these
points. Hotels, it was declared, are
necessary to induce guests, while it
is equally true that guests are essen
tial to the support of hotels.
1T has now become a necessity to
steadily create the desire among the
public to travel, to see to visit, t OBJ
tain recreation, rest and entertain
ment, which are all within the vaca-
ton idea, which is no longer a fad,
out is firmly established as one of
the necessities among all classes, ;"
Mr.. Farnsworth asserted. The patrons
and guests of hotels must not be con-
fined, however, to piazzas and door
yards when seeking recreation in the
country.
The very best advertisement-es-
pecially in this motor age-that can
be put forward to induce summer Wis
itors or permanent residents is a sys-
tenn of good roads.-Good Roads

SHOOTING FROM A ~souNDLEsS, SMoKELESs GUN

been obtained on it in twenty-four
countries, Hiram Percy Maxim gave
a demonstration and explanation of
his silencing device for rifles before a
large number of representatives of
newspapers and scientific publica-
tions. BY the use OF a sandbox tar
get the inventor made a series of eX-
periments by firing a variety of rifles,
ranging in power from a .22 calibre
up to the new Springfield 80 calibre
military rifle. They were fired both
with and without the "silencer," and
the spectators-or perhaps it might
be better to say auditors-marvelled
at the effect Of the little device. It
is said scientific tests show that nine
ty per cent. of the noise of explosion
is eliminated. y
The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1909-02-18

The tests were made In the Offices
of Redding, Greeley & Austin, coun-
sci fol Mr.. Maxim, on the eighth floor
of the Potter Building, in Park row,
and it was cause for wonder among
those present that the noise made by
the explosion Of the rifles without the
"silencer' did not arouse the other
tenants in the building.
The "silencer' is a metal tube
about seven inches long and an inch
and a quarter in diameter, which can
be fastened quickly to the end of a
rife barrel which has been provided
with a thread for that purpose.
1t is declared hat the velocity OF
the bullet is not lessened in the least
degree, as the gases have done all
their work on the p~rojectile before
they reach the "silencer."

tor, accompanied by his colleague,
will step forward and take the oath.
This done, the entire assemblage will
proceed to the inaugural stand.
The sergeants-at-arms of the Sen
ate and the House will lead the state
ly procession. This is an innovation,
as heretofore it has been led by the
marshals of the Supreme Court and
of the District of Columbia. Those
present in the Senate Chamber will
fall into line in the same order in
which they entered the Senate, and
the entire company will march to the
inaugural stand.
The troops gathered in front of the
stand will present arms as the Pres
ident and the President-elect appear
at the main door of the Capitol, and
when they have arrived at the front
of the stand Chief Justice Fuller will
step forward and administer to Mr..
Taft the oath of Office, following
which the new President will deliver
his inaugural address, which is un-
derstood to be unusually brief. From
the stand the President will descend
a flight Of steps to his carriage and
drive Immediately to the White
House, where he may snatch a brief
luncheon before taking his place in
the reviewing stand erected in front
of the White House grounds, from
which he will view the great parade
in his honor.
The Vice-President and the mem
bers of the Senate will return from
the inaugural stand to the Senate
Chamber, where certain brief routine
business will be transacted and adj
journment taken.
Ex-President Roosevelt, on leaving
the inaugural stand, will enter his
carriage from another entrance to the
Capitol, and, escorted by the New
York Republican County Committee,
will drive Immediately to the Union
Station, whence he will start for New
York, accompanied by the members
of his family.
There will be a slight change this
year in the order of the progress of
the President, the President-elect
and the Vice-President and the Vice
President-elect to the Capitol. In
view of the close relations of Senator
Lodge to the President he will ride
in the carriage with the President
and the President-elect, as will also
