The Ruin of Our Roads.

America, woefully in the rear of progress
in rock surfacing hen highways, had built
less than 10000 miles of macadam roads
out of a total mileage of 2,15O,000 when
from the hazy realms of Invention came
a combined menace and blessing in the
shape of the motor car.
This modern chariot of gasoline, with
fat, wind stuffed tires was quickly de-
| rided by such near sighted folk as are
| unable to identity blessing if it comes
at all disguised, but highway engineers,
while approaching its civilizing influences.
soon discovered that the new machine was
an enemy to all hard surfaced highways,
and that those responsible for them were
confronted by the greatest problem they
had ever been called upon to face.
The reason is plain when understood
Under the passing of wagons equipped
with iron tires the surface rock is con
stantly being fractured the tiny dust par
tlcles so formed sitting their way in the in
terstices and being packed frmer and firm
er IN place by rains and traffic, finally form
ing cemented bonded, impervious, water
shedding shell. When in its highest state
of perfection the rock from which such
road is formed must be so suited to the
character and volume of traffic which
passes over it that the amount of dust
formed will be only sufficient to replace
that which is taken away by wind and
rain.
Automobiles came and the troubles of
the engineers began. The motor car did
none of the helpful things that an iron
tired wagon does. Proceeding as they
usually do at a high rate of speed they
lift the dust binding surface and send it
swirling away, while the soft rubber tires
crush no rock to supply that which they
strip from the highways
Much stress has been laid upon the
effect of the car body and its shape in lift
ing dust from the road surface. Some
experiments seem to furnish convincing
proof that but little dust is taken from the
roads by this means, though the dust lift
ed by the wheels is greatly accelerated by
the action of the car body and the air cur
rents set up in its rear This must be con-
sidered an important factor, as much of |
the dust lifted by the wheels would not |
be carried from the road but for the air
developed by its shape-From

Union Church Association to Receive
Generous Request.

| The annual meeting OF the Union Church
association was held last Saturday even
ing according to notice and a good mum
Der sat down to the excellent supper, al
ter which the old board of officers We're re-
elected, viz: President Dir. n. p. Wood /:
vice-president NJ /. Reed; secretary and
treasurer, +. o. Lee; assistant secretary,
Mrs. NJ. |. Reed; executive committee the
president and secretary eX oflicio, with e.
II. Akley; II. A. Staten and Mrs. III. W.
Farman as president of Ladies circle;
auditors, NJ, l. Reed, George e. Failman
and b. A. Streeter. Announcement was
made by the president that bequest of
$4,000 to the association by the late Mrs.
&C.. f. Simonds, of whose estate DR.. Wood
is executor, would soon be ready to be
paid to the society Also that as one of
the residuary legatees of the estate, the
bequest would probably be increased by
several thousand dollars. 1t was there
fore thought best that the association be
incorporated and it was so voted. This
benefcent gift from Mrs. Simonds is
largely due undoubtedly to her interest in
her near friends, DR.. and Mrs. Wood, who
have so steadfastly stood by this associa-
ton and church and substantially aided
them, though their home is in Mortified,
several miles away. TO them, therefore,
the gratitude of the church and associa-
ton is due for this good fortune.

Morgan Horse Club Formed.

The formation of Morgan Horse club,
| representing SIX states, was the feature OF
the Vermont state fair last week. Max
well Evalts, president of the association,
explained the purposes of the club, first,
to perpetuate the Morgan breed of horses
by preserving the original blood in type
rather than by effort to bring about i'm
provements or change in size or other
features; second, as means to the above
| ends, to endeavor, first, to have classes
for Morgans at agricultural fairs and horse
shows; second, to have the judges OF all
such classes selected with a view to their
thorough knowledge of the history of the
Morgan breed and their sympathy with the
aims of this club; third, to formulate
standard of points for the Morgan horse
which shall be upheld by the members of
this club and by the judges; fourth, to of
fer where practicable such prizes as may
tend to stimulate the breeding of Morgan
horses; fifth, to encourage the owners of
Morgan horses to register them with as
full pedigrees as can be obtained after
careful research; sixth to afford to men,
bers Of the club and all breeders the fullest
information concerning Morgan stations
for public service and the breeding of Nor
gans; seventh, to promote friendly social
relations and confidence in each other
among the members of this club.
The officers chosen were III. +. Wardner
of Windsor, president; G. G. Stillman of
New York, secretary treasurer The di-
rect organizers of the club were A F.
Phillips of Barton, the largest owner of
pureblooded Morgans in the world Spen-
