But better times are coming. The
American people are waking up to
the value and comfort of good roads.
AT the international road builders
convention held in Paris year ago
America was represented by only 20
delegates.
The next convention is to be held
in Brussels, and the new Belgian
king has had invitations sent to
every state in the union, asking for
two delegates from each. II is to be
hoped that capable representatives
will be sent. Americans have al
ready been observing the splendid
roads of Europe, and are learning
how to build and maintain good
highways.
The popularity Of the automobile
has stimulated road building, and
still more the popularity Of the rural
free delivery has added momentum
to the good work. Our mail carrier
is not required to travel road that
is not kept in good condition, and
we all want our mail, so we "fix up"
the roads. Let us keep them fixed
up" and more than that, let us not
be satisfied until we have built good
roads-roads so well built that they
will stay built Roads so good that
we can haul large loads to market
with ease. Roads so good that 1t
will always be a pleasure to travel
over them. Roads that we will be
proud of and that will in turn make
us prouder OF our dear native land.

GREATEST SINGLE
COUNTRY BENEFIT

The Portland Journal publishes
good roads story.
The following interesting article
has been submitted by one of our
women subscribers on good roads as
the greatest single country benefit
to be obtained.
The one thing that would surely
bring the greatest benefit to the
country is the perfection of its people
In body, mind and soul, and this is
the goal towards which all philan-
thropists, reformers and public
spirited men are working.
What one thing is most needed to
help the country people keep their
place in this march of progress?
What Is hindering them just now so
that they can not march? What but
mud up their feet! 1t is obvious that
what we most need is good roads
To be sure, we need good schools,
but the foundation for a splendid
school system was laid long ago, and
Is being worked out as the advance
ment of the country warrants. Good
roads will stimulate the perfection
of our system of education, arouse
public spirit, ameliorate social con-
d!tions and add materially to our
prosperity. With a system of public
schools, of which we may Justly be

proud, and which is probably not
equaled by those of any other nation,
we have system of public roads
that can be compared to none in
Europe, unless it be Turkey.
American roads are notorious. 1t
has been ascertained that It costs
about rs cents per ton per mile to
haul loads over the average Ameri-
can road, while the cost on the aver
age road throughout Europe Is but
IL cents per mile. Such being the
case, it is evident that good roads
would add greatly to the wealth of
our country. The farmer who has
a good road to market realizes larger
returns on his produce.
The value of the land also is in
creased. A farm will bring a much
better price If the roads leading to
market, school and church are good
roads. The towns, too, reap rich re-
turns when good roads are extended
in all directions, making it possible
and profitable for the farmers in re-
mote districts to bring their produce
to market.
Here in prosperous farming
community whose people are edu-
Gated and progressive we find roads
practically impossible for good
share of the year. Roads so stony
and rough that it is harder to ride
than to walk! Roads so deep with
mud that 1t is possible to haul only
very small loads! Grades so steep
that it is not safe to travel without
brake on the wagon! Dust in such
binding clouds that one is nearly
suffocated
What inducements can you offer
the women to persuade them to ira
vel on such roads to church, to
grange, TO town or to visit the neigh
bors? Surely we are justified in
making such excuses as Let's wait
until the roads get better" "The

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
i'll the generation OF nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Ncrvine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
