The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
values and the general economic well
fare Of a community is shown in
several illustrations gathered by the
United States department of agri-
culture. According to data gathered, j,
where good reads replace bad ones the
values of farm lands bordering on the
roads increase to such an extent that
the cost of road imDrovement is equal
lied if not exceeded. The general
land values show marked advances
following the Improvement Of roads.
As the roads in no way affect sol
fertility or quality Of the farm nd
gances are essentially to the decrease
in the cost Of hauling poduce to mar
ket or shipping point With reduced
costs for hauling profits are increased
with the result that the FARM plant
shows satisfactory earnings on q
higher capital value. Immigration
is narticuIarly marked where road
conditions are favorable. In fact the
figures of the department seem to in
dioate that good road indirectly in
crease the demand for rural property
and the price of farm land like that
of any commodity is ruled by the
relations between demand and sunuly.

OVERLAND COMPANY
ADOPTS NOVEL PLAN
FOR SAVING TIRES

He doesn't look Alike very important
part of a big automobile factory organiza-
ton this tall broad -shouldered, stopped
and somewhat grizzled man, who may be
seen, rain or shine, summer or winter,
walking slowly about the plant of the
WHY'S Overland Motor Car plant in
Toledo Ohio, eyes almost constantly east
earthward But he is an important item
in the modern method of factory opera
tion which makes this one of the best
conducted plants in the automobile in
dustry. Though his wage is that of the
average workman. Magnet Bill as the
grizzled man is known, is worth a good
deal to the company 10y which he is en-
ployed
Bill gets his nickname from the fact
that his tools consist solely of one tin
bucket of the ten or twelve-quart variety
and big steel magnet. strapped to the
end Of a shovel handle to allow for ease
in operation. And his work is mighty i'm.
portant, even though it looks simple to
the passerby. For il is "Bilrs" duty to
save automobile tires, those costly rubber
oNercoatS which adorn the wheels of mo-
tor ears, by removing from the roadway
every nail and bit or iron. brass or steel
that might cause q pUncture. When il is
known that the 40 600 cars which is the
Overland output for 1918 are being run
back and forth in reaching the place
where they are tested, and scores of visit
ors cars. office machines and delivery
trucks use the thOrOughfare daily, the
wisdom of saving tires is a once appa-
rent.

AUTO BUSINESS WILL
SOON EXCEED THAT
OF ENTIRE RAILROADS

ut is not a stretch of the imagination
to say that the automobile business will
eventually exceed the entire business of
the railroads of the United States said
F. A. Soldering, president of the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company, Akron.
Ohio, in an address delivered at the re-
cent convention of automobile manufac-
turers and dealers, held at Indianapolis.
The automobile business must be con-
sidered as just beginning. The railroad
business has already reached its normal
or stationary period. When we shall have
comparable to the continental roads Of
Europe, and have taken advantage Of
them, by connecting towns, villages and
cities with automobile travel, carrying
the traffic under a schedule as the rail-
roads are now doing-when we shall han
die all the traffic on the streets with the
commercial car, and the produce of the
farmer is transported to the city by the
same means-all of which is bound to
come-then it is no stretch Of the imagi-
nation to say that the automobile bust
ness will exceed the entire business of
the railroads of the United States.
TT is estimated that the grand total
of automobile and the allied accessory in
dustries will me, in 1913 nearly one thou
sand million of dollars-several times the
business Of the Pennsylvania system.
This will give you some idea of quick
rise of the automobile industry in the
past decade
Nov, the question that comes up is
this: How shall we take care Of this vast
business? The dealer is the Intermediary
in whom the success of this automobile
business lies. Without the dealers eff
fort to give service and satisfacton-to
save the public money-the industry will
suffer So is the duty of the manufac-
turer not only to protect the dealer, but
also to give him every possible means of
support and assistance"

WANT LONG PIERS
ON JERSEY SHORE
Extension Put Up to Taft and
Secretary Stimson by Gov
ernoF Wilson.
IFrom a stan Correspondence

| TRENTON, n. J., Jan. 22.-In re-
Spouse to demands of Improvement
| associations and industrial concerns
along the New Jersey shore from
Castle Point north to Palisades Park
the New Jersey Edrbor Commission
has filed with Governor Wilson a re-
port recommending to the federal au-
thorities extension of the pierhead
line in the Hudson river from Gutten-
burg to Fort Lee. The extension
would carry piers out 300 feet beyond
the present pierhead line.
Governor Wilson has approved the
report and has sent it to President
Taft for transmission to Secretary of
War Stimson.
The report of the commission says:
1.-THE location of large industrial
plants along this shore has materi-
ally increased the wealth of our State
and the prosperity of it's citizens, but
from the evidence presented to your
commission at its numerous public
hearings and as proved to its salts
faction after careful study of the
situation, the lack of pier room and
access to deep water has prevented
full development of the natural adj
vantages OF this shore front for man
ufacturing purposes.
Your commissioners feel that the
interests of commerce and navigation
and the industrial prosperity of Ber-
gen county, in which most of the ri
parian land in question lies, would
be furthered without injury to any
other section of the harbor by an ad-
vancement of the pierhead lines"
The commission recommended that
there be no change made in the ex-
listing bulkhead lines.
The Hudson river is comparatively
shallow along this section of the New
Jersey shore and much dredging will
have to be done il the extension is
allowed and longer piers are built.
The largest pier now in use is that of
the Warner Sugar Refining Com
pany at Edgewater. 1t extends 300
feet into the river, and the company
long for it's purposes.
Men interested in the development
of this part of the Hudson river shore
front, which lies opposite Riverside
drive, declare that a number of in
dustrial concerns have been practi-
cally driven away from New Jersey
because Of a lack of pier facilities,
due to an inability to reach deep
water.
New Jersey harbor experts say that
an extension of the pierhead line be-
tween Gutenberg and Fort Lee would
have no appreciable effect on the
Manhattan shore line, adding that
the extensions which Manhattan is
seeking for its port development lie
south of the Riverside drive section.
