GRADES AND GOOD ROADS
Highways Travelled by Heavily Loaded
Vehicles Should Be Kept Down
to Three Per Cent.

A one per cent. grade on road
means a rise of one foot for each
hundred feet of distance travelled up
the hill. A ten per cent. grade means
ten feet rise in each hundred feet so
travelled. A one per cent grade, then,
means that in travelling up hill one
mile an ascent is made of 528 feet.
while a ten per cent grade means q
rise in altitude of 52S feet in a mile.
Accurate tests have shown that q
horse which can pull 1000 pounds on
a level road can pull only SO pounds
on a rise of one foot in fifty, and on Q
rise of one foot in ten he can pull
only $50 pounds. These facts show
that the greatest load than can be
hauled over a road Is the load which
can be taken up the steepest hill on
that road, or through the deepest
mud hole. 1t is therefore advised
that all highways travelled by heavily
loaded vehicles should be kept within
a three or four per cent. grade X
practicable. To do this may require
a change of location to get around
hills, always keeping in mind that the
lower the grade the larger the load
may be hauled and the cost OF haulags
kept at the lowest point.

The question may be asked wheth-
er bond issue of $500. 900, 900 for aid
In road building would be at all haz-
ardous. BY referring to the state
ment of the treasury department, one
will find that the present bond issue
amounts to about s11 per capita, and
the annual interest charge is 40 cents
The issue of $500,00O,000 of bonds
would carry the bond issue up to ap-
proximately SIG per capita and the
interest charge to A cents. At that
rate II would be the smallest bonded
Indebtedness per capita OF any OF tho
leading countries of the world. AZ
against the SIG, Great Britain has
debt Of SIS per capita, German $40,
Italy $92, and France $144. 1t is per
fectly safe TO say that II the govern
ment would issue and expend $780,
100000 of bonds in aiding the con-
struction of permanent highways, the
people would never know that an ad-
ditional tax had been imposed and
would never feel the payment. This
step would give mighty impetus to
road building, and In ten or fifteen
years probably 400 900 miles of good
roads could be built, and this would
revolutionize transportation and
would add UNNECESSARILY to the pleas
ure of country life, and would add sew
eral times the amount to the prop
erty value Of the nation, and give US
better schools, higher social life and
a higher standard of civilization.
There is a widespread demand for
a parcels post, and as congress usu-
ally responds to popular demand, and
always does if the clamor is loud and
long enough. So it is quite probable
the parcel post will be tried out.
Let the government help build good
roadside highways over which the
children must go TO school, the doc
tor to reach the suffering and over
which must pass every bushel OF
grain and every bale Of cotton raised
the road which reaches every field,
every farm home and every market
town. The people everywhere de-
mand good roads. Roads are univer-
sal: waterways are sectional. Good
roads mean a saving in transportation
far greater than can be accomL. shed
in any other way. Good roads mean
better schools, more social life and
higher standard of living; they mean
progress and civilization.

Birds a Help to tho Farmer.

The demand for the protection OF
wild birds was once based solely on
humane and esthetic grounds; now the
demand is coming to be based in addi-
ton on economic grounds, which will
commend it to larger number Of men
and insure it a more careful hearing
in the court of public opinion. Bird
slaughter not long ago was decried be-
cause the native songsters were being
killed at the behest of millinery
fashion.
Now another note is sounded. The
increase of insect pests and conse-
quent reduction of the harvests has
correspondent with the decrease Of the
birds. In addition to filing their
craws with insects numerous wild
birds feed on weed seeds, and weeds
are handicap In agriculture.
In several states increasing safe
guards are being thrown around birds
because of their worth as aids to agri4
culture.

Russia's Fight on tuberculosis.

The first white flower day." which
was observed in Russia on May 3.
was a success beyond the hopes of
the most sanguine," says the Rus
sische Corresponding. Throughout
the nation on that day men, women
and children offered for sale tiny
white flowers. The proceeds of the
sales were handed over to the League
for the Prevention and Cure Of Tu-
berculosis. Money in large quantities
was collected, the smallest and Door
est hamlets contributing their share.
1t is not to be wondered at, because
Russia is really the land of the dread
malady. The trying climate and un-
speakable sanitary conditions make Il
a fruitful ground for the develop
ment of the disease, and statistics
show that In late years there has
been a steady increase In Its ravaRes.
The manner In which the people re-
sponded on the first white flower
day shows that they appreciate the
conditions.

DR.. Bruske has informed us that
the college library is to be enlarged
before spring. The number of books
has been constantly and rapidly in
creasing, until there is no longer
room for them in the present stack
room.
Therefore it has been decided TO
equip the second story of the build
into a stack room and there place
the volumes which are least used.
This will give more room and add
greatly to the convenience of the
