Although the surroundings Of the
country are such that they tend to
develop the Unborn qualities Of the
child without any great effort or
school education in so far as it
gives him good and practical
training in getting along, we should
nevertheless use our best means and
efforts in promoting the interests
Of our country schools, and think
that the patrons of the schools of
district IS have not only made
good beginning but are already
reaping rewards of their labor and
liberality in promoting the school
work. And we children and pupils
of this district extend our hearty
thanks and appreciation to the pro-
,noters, supporters and teachers of
our school for their dutiful work,
their generosity and liberality in
expenditure, their general good will
and harmonious actions in bringing
about the success of our school,
which does so much towards maxi
ing our lives more attractive and
efficient.

prosperity of city. Mr.. Cooley
covered some of the ground he did
in the afternoon. The average cost
of hauling produce to market in
the United states now is 25 cents
per ton per mile. In Euopean
countries it runs from 81 to IL cents
per ton per mile. He estimated
that the loss to the Twin cities
alone on the business that comes in
from the wagon roads runs up to
$25, 900 per annum. They have a
stretch of road in Hennepin county
now, however, on which a careful
estimate of the cost of hauling
loads places it 6a cents per ton per
mile. =

ing, and replied to a number of
questions asked by those present.
Getting down to discussion of To-
cal conditions he advised the use
of the split-log drag on the roads
in all directions, and stated that a
number of Minnesota cities were
maintaining fine system Of roads
for many miles out of town by this
simple device. He advised that a
number of these drags be provided
and that contracts be made with
farmers living along the roads to
drag the roads often and particular
ly after every rain in order to pre-
vent ruts and keep the road in good
condition.
Mr.. Cooley had supply of the
pamphlets issued by the highway
commission giving instructions and
rules for roadmaking and mainten-
ance as governs the state roads.
His supply ran short of supplying
the demand here, however, and he
arranged to mail number of these
direct to applicants. and small
quantity to the Commercial Club
for distribution.
After the meeting in the after
noon, Mr.. Cooley was taken on an
inspection trip of the state road as
far as Spicer and back. He ex-
pressed himself as being we'll
pleased with the work so far done
on the same, altho he advised that
considerably more dragging should
be done. The State has expended
a thousand dollars in the county
during the past year and there is
still three hundred dollars avail
able.
The law is that the local authori-
ties must pay two dollars for work
| on the state roads for every dollar
contributed by the highway COM
mission, which means that three
thousand was expended on the state
roads in the county last year and
that nine hundred more should be
Espent in order that the county draw
its full allowance from the Com
| mission.

II we can only get the wafer OH our

worry much about what our neigh
Dor is going to do with it. $50
But we are gradually learning
that the only way to build is to
build right, and that the only way
to get good roads is to cooperate:
We are building stretches of road
here and there to show what can be
done with the various materials at
hand, and these sample roads are
stirring up a great deal of interest
in the subject generally. The high
way commission has been accused
of working for automobile roads
but this is not true. The main
thing the commission has in mind
is to make the 10000 miles of dirt
roads in the state not only passable,
but easy of travel and permanent.
Every live farmer knows that the
better roads the less it will cost
him to get his products to market,
which again means more profits. { {:
"Avoid sod in constructing your
roads. 1t will eventually rot and
will hold water like sponge. In
short, do not use any kind of per-
ishable material; and put the ditch
about five feet from the side Of the
road, using catch basins for the
surface water wherever there is a
slope in order not to overburden
the ditch. Be sure that your ma
terial is uniform, for that means
easier maintenance.
"Build steel, or better yet, con-
crete bridges. They cost more, but
are cheaper in the end. A concrete
bridge will get better with age and
you will never be troubled with
the question of maintenance.
