ShaIe From Coal Mine.
There is another of different mate
rial that has made good-that north
and south from the Citizens coal
shaft. This Is of shale. It makes a
splendid road and there is mountain
of the same material at the Latham
coal shaft. 1t can be had for the haul
ing-sufficient to surface a foot thick
and II feet wide 60 miles of road.
There is no shadow OF reason why
early steps and a systematic effort
should not be inagurated for the per-
manent improvement and betterment
of the public highway. Haul each
year as much of the gravel or shale
right at hand as the funds available
will allow. Surfacing not less than
one foot thick, and in 10 years you
will have vastly more to show for the
million dollars expended than now APP
pears for the past 10 years.

of commissioners of highways insti-
tute for Logan county? The employ

Cutting on All Escape


blowing of these roads.
Cutting on All Escape
About the first of October a piece
of road along the county farm was
even worse treated A half dozen deep
farrows were plowed on either side
and the loose earth scraped toward
the center. leaving the roadway I'M
leveled, simply a succession of hills.
The water that falls upon it can't pos
sibly get away except by evaporation.
You can't drive to one side on account
of the lake made by the blowing, with
no outlet. The very best you can do
is to go through-and cuss.
The theory of road care seems to be
based upon working the roads-or
rather working the people-when you
can't do anything else. Why, if your
wife didn't display more gumption in
setting a hen you would want to go
out and kick the dog to relieve the
pressure. Miles and miles of public
highways are simply ruined by the i'm
provements. l would make it a mis-
demeanor with drastic punishment for
anyone to work the public roads after
the first day of July anywhere. with
any other implements than a road
drag, spade and shovel.
DRAG, Spade and Shovel.
An hours work or less would fill up
or drain a low place that 10 minute 5
shower will make a mud hole-like
one point just before you drive on the
bridge at the foot of Cemetery hill
On either side is a fall of 10 feet or
more. An hours work with spade and
shovel would fill up and drain this
place in the center of the road that
has been a mud hole after every rain
all summer long. There would seem
to be absolutely no excuse for the in
difference and neglect at that place
that might be so easily made good at
so trivial an expense. A little further
along on the same road the water
comes down from the hillside and
stands in the road after every rain.
1t might be easily and quickly bettered
with but little labor with no other
tools than a spade and shovel.
The roads in Logan county are sus-
ceptible of great. Improvement with

Judge Foley. About five years ago he
gave the gravel, furnished six teams,
and with six teams furnished by the

spent upon this since that time, the

The paper on practical road improve
ment read by Postmaster Thomas H
Stokes of Lincoln at the Logan County
Farmers institute merits a more than
state wide reading, because he cited
local proof that none could deny and
of so familiar character it may be
recognized in almost any community.
This unique and unanswerable argu-
ment gives the cue to hundreds of
other men who would like to help for
ward practical road Improvement He
said in part:
The rural mail delivery system has
been seriously handicapped many
times during the year by bad roads,
and there is no justifiabIe excuse for
such conditions. Not one among you
will deny the benefits Of using the
split log road drag Wherever used
with any regularity the road is bet
tered and wherever continuously used
the road is good comparatively
throughout the year. 1t logically fol
lows that Indifference and neglect have
all to do with bad roads.
Plain Proof of 1t.

between Fred Gelbach's and Bell sta
ton. Five years ago it's reputation
was so bad you didn't dare to speak
of it on Sunday Now it is fairly good

all the year around. (And in many.
many townships of Illinois like definite
reference to the striking benefits OF
the road drag could be made)
But a system Of voluntary road drag
ging is wrong and entirely unbusiness-
like Public utilities ought to be main
tanned at public expense. The levy
for roads and bridges in Logan county
last year was more than 800 per mile
of public highway. and nearly mil
lion dollars, or $3.50 per mile, has
been collected for highway purposes
the last 10 years. Have SOU all to
which you are entitled to show for
this?
Where Are the Results:
Look a few miles either way from
your several homes and discover #
you can the scientific system of drain
age or other permanent construction,
aside from the substantial iron
bridges erected or culverts put in.
The haphazard, hit-and-miss system
of doing things on the public high
ways appears faulty and inefficient
from every angle.
To illustrate: At two points near
Lincoln the public road was plowed
and graded in November. Think of it.
There isn't a corn field n the county
that wouldn't make better road, for
there the blowing has had little time

ing history. In 1t the first flag
containing thirteen stars and
thirteen stripes, was made by Mrs.
John Ross. The design for the flag
was from drawing made by
George Washington with a pencil,
and the flag thus designed was
adopted by a resolution of Congress
on the 18th day of June, l777 A
committee of Congress, accompanied
by General Washington. afterward
called upon Mrs. Ross and engaged
her to make flag from this de-
ign. The flag then made is
now known the world over as the
star spangled Banner of the Unit
ed States. There is a striking
resemblance between the design OF
our flag and the arms of General
Washington, aud it is believed by
many that the American flag was
derived from this heraldic design.

A LETTER FROM JUDGE BoGGs
IN REGARD TO GOOD ROADS.

To the Editor Of Big Sandy News:
Dear Sir:-As the road question
Of Lawrence county is one of gi-
gantic proportions and dissatisfac-
ton with the people,and as am
an official Of the county, in fact
the man that must listen to some
aind Of a story about every mud
hole. about the unsafe condition OF
every bridge and culyert in the
county, take this method through
the columns of the News to ex-
plain matters, somewhat.
To begin with, will say that II IS
true that we have road and bridge
fund amounting to, say seven or
eight thousand dollars year. Now,
while we have this amount of mon
ey to spend on the roads and
bridges,we are compelled by law to
keep the bridges and culyerts in
repair. Now, when we think about
the size of Lawrence county and
the number of bridges and culverts
to be repaired each year, We can
readily see that after this Is done
We haven't anything left IT, expend
on the roads.
You now say, What is to be
done-not going to spend any mon
ey on the roads," For answer l
cite you to Section 1908, Ky Stat
utes. though the Legislators in
making our road law suggested two
ways Of keeping up the roads and
left It open for the fiscal courts 4
the Commonwealth To select which
would have. Our fiscal ct.ur'
IS adopted both plans. that is by
thSation and the six day method. We
hare road and bridge fund and
we put 25c Of our county lay in
this fund. This is the way that
We get the seven or eight thous-
and dollars referred to in the out
set. And l have shown you that
It practically takes all this money
to repair the bridges and culverts
of the county.
Now. | want to say that the fis-
cal court Of Lawrence county has
made an order requiring all able
bodied male citizens Of the coun-
ty, over Is and under the age OF
so years, except licensed ministers
of the Gospel and citizens of In
eorporated towns and cities, to pro.
, vide themselves with necessary
tools and implements and to worl
the public roads of the county no
exceeding two days in week, anS
six days In each year, and any on,
