FACTORS FOR ROAD BUILDER
Climate Is Important Matter to Con-

The climate is factor of impor.

In the eastern sections. where the soil
is plastic. the rains are most abundant
while in the western sand hills the
climate is semi-ar.d and quite strong
south winds prevail. These conditions
Introduce an important matter for con-
sideration. Sand roads are best when
wet. and clay roads when dry. but eli.
matte conditions operate adversely
and must be taken Into consideration
seriously. The rains make the eastern
roads muddy. while dry weather
makes OF the western roads deep shift

this natural condition is to add sand
to the eastern clays and clay to the
western sands in order to bring about.

No Divided Displays Necessary
10 Get Products Into the
Great Ohio Valley Exposition
To Be Held at Cincinnati


The general impression that the in
dus;rial portions of all expositions
are alike will be put to rout by the
management of the Ohio Valley Ex-
position next fall. when several new
departures in the line of displays
win be offered visitors in a way to
add greatly to the general attractive
ness and commercial value of the
PROJECT.
Ever since expositions were inaug.

regate various industries, placing
certain lines of manufactured arti-

as the case might be. In this way no
city received the credit due it for It's
industries. and no industry received
the individual attention to which 1t
was entitled because OF its being
thrown in with many similar speci.
mems in one grand display
When detailed plans for conducting
the Ohio Valley Exposition were be
ing worked OFT. it was suggested
that better and more satisfactory re-
suits could be obtained. especially
for the Industries of the smaller
cities of the Ohio Valley, II each city
were allowed to display examples Of
all her products under one roof In
this way. It was argued. the products
of a city like Portsmouth or So, 'ps-
field. for instance. would not be cat

but would be exhibited in one collec-
tive display. giving the city the
prominence Il deserved and at the
same time giving distinction to each
industry represented.
