ASSISTANCE OF BOYS NEEDED
Enthusiastic Youth and Team Of Hors-
es Will Do Wonders Toward I'M
proving Country Roads.

II you can enlist the boys or girls
In any country community in any good
work, it will soon be done; and 1t Is
not likely to be done very soon unless
you do enlist. them. II you get the
boys and girls interested in Sabbath
school, it goes without saying that you
will have a good school. II you can
get the boys and girls to attend church
regularly, you will have prosperous
church. II not, your church must in
evitably decline. A minister who can
not attract and hold the young people
had better be thinking of handing in
his resignation. q
If we are ever to have good dirt
roads in Iowa. it will be necessary to
enlist the boys. II they are ever in
terested in the job, we will get the
full benefit Of the road drag. A drag
and a boy and good team Of horses
will do wonders, provided the boys
heart is in it.; not otherwise. Theory,
you say? Well, let's see.
Miss Jessie Field, the superinteud-
ent of schools in Page county, Iowa.
organized seven teams numbering
from four to ten each. Each team
met and chose a captain. When 1t
came time to drag the roads. he or.
dered his boys out, and they obeyed
orders. Mr.. w. C. Brown, president OF
the New York Central railroad. who
has a farm in that county, gave a
prize Of 500 to the best team of boys.
One of the best things Colonel Hep
burn ever did in his life was to pre-
sent a trophy to the boy who had the
best half mile of road at the end Of the
season. The teams put up signs at
each half mile, giving the name OF the
boy who was responsible for dragging
that piece OF road. Finally, the su'
pervisors paid the expenses of D.
Ward King to come and Judge the
work, and decide which team was en-
titled to the hundred dollars, and
which individual boy was entitled to
the trophy.
Now it goes without saying that II
this work is continued and extended
Page county will have the best dirt
roads in the state of Iowa, or in any OF
the adjoining states. Why? Because
the boys have taken 1t in hand. Few
people realize what tremendous
thought the master gave to the world
when he said: Suffer the little chill
dren to come unto me, and forbid them
not; for to such belongeth the king
dom of God" In other words, he rec
ognized the value Of childhood-boy
hood-not merely for spiritual things
but for all things. 1.-THE boy is father
to the man." that is, what the boy is
the man will become.

ROADS AID TO FARM VALUES
Modern Ideas induce Farmer to Pay
More Attention to Drainage, Grad
Ing and Crawling.

1t is a noticeable fact that farm
lands have raised in value more In
the last two or three years than they
did in the ten years previous to that
time, writes Lucien A. Sweet in the
Farm, Stock and Home. Now the
question to be answered Is this: Why
does this condition prevail?
First, the r. F. D. mail has placed
the farmer nearer to the city in get
ting daily delivery Of his daily pa
pers and letters.
Second, the cooperative farmers
telephones. This source Of comfort
brings the farmer into almost the
homes Of his neighbors In almost the
twinkling of an eye and the cost OF
this comfort luxury and necessity Is
only from three to four dollars year.
Third, the automobile In the hands
of many farmers.
By the Introduction OF the r. F. D.
mail and the use of automobiles by
the farmers, it has caused them to
be much more interested in the drain.
age, grading and graveling Of the
roads-both for the use of the mail
carriers and for the use Of their autos
80 that in the last two years more
gravel has been put on the roads in
southern Minnesota than has been
placed there since the roads were
laid out.
Fairmont township, Martin county,
the writer's home for 30 years, adopt
ed what Is known as the cash system
of road making-through the hard
work of few of our voters we car
ried the election by mojority Of one.
This was done about eight years ago;
since that time we have paid no poll
tax, but all lands and properties of
all kinds have been assessed GER
tain amount to raise cash to be ex-
pended on the roads as such.
The town board has appointed q
road overseer who takes charge OF all
the roads OF the township Notwith-
standing, the township has eight or
ten gravel pits with the very best
quality Of fine gravel, very little has
been put into the roads until the last
two or three years. But since the
work Of graveling the grades and TIL
ing the water away from the low
grades in the sloughs the roads are
SO much improved that the voters
are now raising twice the money for
road purposes that they did before
the gravel was used and the roads
where graveled are in fine condition.
To be sure this gear the crop was
good and two years ago the crop was
good, also; but as the farms are tile
drained and the roads are made good,
farm lands advance very rapidly.
! While there Is probably no one thing
that has contributed altogether to the
rapid rise In land values in the last
two or three years, it is quite plain
to be seen that the drainage OF the
wet places along the roads and the
graveling of the roads, putting, them In
very good condition. has been the main
factor in putting land values where
they are at the present time.
