The question of the adoption of the
country road system having been sub.
mitted to be voted upon in August
next, the following from the Battle
Creek Daily Journal under the heading
"a Hole in Your Pocket" is both time
" and interesting.
Long rows of figures and good ad.
vice-heard a hundred times before
do not make easy or pleasant reading.
Yet IL the average man was walking
along the street and some kindly soul
should point out that every few feet a
silver dollar was dropping out of his
pocket and that it would be cheap and
easy to stop the loss by sewing up the
rip in the coat lining, the average man
might possibly be persuaded to listen.
Very well That fairly describes
what is happening all over the United
States, and it is your money which is
being lost.
1t is an importapt-if somewhat
fsmiliar-fact that we are obliged to
eat if we would live. And every ounce

we wear and buy and sell. has to be

distance over country road.
There are more than two million
miles of these country roads in this
country and more than hundred dol.

If you insist on the figures, here they
are, as prepared by the government ex-
perts at Washington:
Weight of crops hauled to market
annually 250. 1000, 900 tons.
Average length of haul 9.4 miles
Cost of hauling per ton-mile 90 cts.
Now on the splendid highways of
Germany it only costs eight and one
half cents per mile to haul ton of
produce to market. Figure out how
much less it would cost to do the haul
ing If our roads were as good as Ger
many's and you will find the amount
OF our present loss-a matter of some
quarter of billion dollars year-a
pretty addition to that high cost of
living we hear so much about.
Now that the loss is plain how shall
the hole in the national coat pocket be

Better roads, of course, is the only
answer. Just at this point a good

will probably run a machine sometime.
And there are whole lot of public
