GAINING BY GOOD ROADS.
The Farmer. Not the Motorist. Is eene
flied Most

1t is not unnatural that a wrong i'm
preston prevails as to the class of peo-
pie who will be most benefited by good
owners for good roads and the large
number of cars seen in all parts of the
country have given the impression that
the automobiles will be the largest
gamers This is. however. an errone-
GUS idea. as a road census" taken
would show that the motorcar owners
are in the minority. and the people de-
irving the greatest benefit are the
farmers.
While the users of motorcars may
assist in the work of creating public
sentiment In favor Of road improve
ment. the real benefit to the country is
in the saving TO the farmers in trans
portation and In the enhanced farm
production which better marketing ia
cilities engender. Many farmer will
take to market over good roads load
Of early potatoes for which he can get
$3.50 a bushel. while with bad roads IL
would not have occurred TO him TO
plant them. The difference to him is
between a quick trip 10 town early in
the morning over an improved road or
slow. laborious trip. taking prac-
tically an entire day over bad roads.
II is everywhere admitted that with
the improvement OF our roads. farm
lands will greatly enhance In value.
All of these arguments I'm favor of n
strong agitation for better roads should
receive the earnest attention Of every
farmer
Our faithful servants. the horses and
mules. should also be considered in
this matter. as II Is nothing less than
cowardly to let these patient. dumb

NAMED IT RAVENNA.
Just When the Ohio Town Was Going
to Be Called Tappsn.

Shortly after the Revolution Benja-
min Tappan, son Of a wealthy Boston
merchant and the original owner Of
what is now Portage county. O., en-.
tered his fathers tract in the west
and spent the winter there. Other set
tiers joined him. and a settlement was
begun. which had the dignity Of a
town at time when a single log cabin
at each place marked the present sites
Of the cities Of Cleveland and Buffalo.
The place was one Of singular natural
beauty, and the question of a name
soon arose.
Now. il happend that at this time a
younger brother Of Benjamin Tappan's
and his wife were in Italy and came
upon the old town of Ravenna. De
lighted with the place, the young bride
expressed TO her husband the wish
that somewhere in the new world
there might arise town worthy to
bear the name Of the wonderful old
Italian city.
The husband Immediately thought OF
his brother in the Ohio wilds and at
once dispatched a letter in which he
pictured the beauties of the Italian
city and expressed the wish that the
town then arising in the wilderness be
named in its honor.
Many months later Benjamin Tap
pan. despairing of finding a suitable
name for the town, was about to yield
stow the name Of Tappan upon it
when the letter arrived. So. instead
Of Tappan. the town was named Ra-
VIENNA. which name 1t still proudly
bears.-I.adies' Home Journal.

AMERICAN VILLAGES.
Here 10 Writer Who Claims They
Are Positively Hideous.

No distinctively American style has
arisen. and the average American home
remains as ugly and as undistinguish-
ell as a Zulu kraal. In its essence IL
Is simply a square box. And from that
archefype IL proceeds upward. not
through degrees OF beauty. but through
degrees OF hideousness. The more il
Is plastered with ornament the more
vulgar and forbidding IL becomes. The
more IL Is adorned with color the more
that color becomes a madness. a de
bauch. a public indeceDcy.
Take a train ride through any Amer
lean state and you will be sickened by
the chaotic ugliness Of the fitting
villages-houses sprawling and shape
less. a huge advertising sign upon
every fat wall. an intolerable effect OF
carelessness. ignorance. squalor. bad
taste and downright viciousness.
But make the same sort of journey
through France or Germany-say from
Bremen TO Munich or from Paris TO
Lyons-or through Austria or Italy or
Switzerland. and you will be charmed
by the beautiful harmony visible on
all sides. the subordination OF details
TO general effects, the instructive feel
ing for color. the sound grouping. the
constant presence of tradition and
style. The design of the peasant
houses changes twenty times between
the Westphalian plain and the foot
hills Of the Alps. but In every change
there is a subtle reflection OF the
physical environment an unmistakabe
expression of human aspiration, world
ly estate and character.
l don't know any ugly village be
tween Bremen and Munich. nor even
a village without its distinction. its
special beauty. its individual charm.
But ! don't know of n village between
Washington and Chicago that is not
frankly appalling.-Smart Set.

A HORSES PULLING POWER
DETERMINED By GRADES
Dean Raymond Of iowa University
Brings Up New Question.

A totally new element has been
brought into the gOod roads question
by Dean William G. Raymond. head
Of the college Of engineering % the
State university of Iowa. in an address
before the johnson county good roads
convention
Although Dean Raymond is working
for permanent rOads. be wants the
state TO go in with its eyes open and
consider all the problems This one
relates to grades
With dirt roads said Dean Ray
mond. the pulling power Of a team Of
horses is limited more by the condi-
ton OF the surface Of the road than by
the steepness Of the grades. But with
concrete. brick or macadam roads the
pulling power of a horse on the level
is immensely increased. and IL Is the
grades which determine the size of a
load that can be pulled Consequently
IN Vrder 10 gel the benefit of perliIa-
nent roads IL will be necessary to cut
down the grades.
The practical effect IS about as fol-
lows. says the dean:
"A team of horses can exert steadily
on a dirt road a pull Of 80 pounds.
which is enough to pull a load Of two
and One-half tons on the level. and the
team can pull the same load over short
hills Of rise Of from five TO eight
feet in the hundred by extra exertion.
But on a concrete road the team
of horses can pull load three or four
times as great on the level. When it
comes to hill. however. the team can
not pull this added load over the same
grade that it could travel over with
the lighter load ON dirt roads"
Dean Raymond figures that the max
imum load for level concrete roads can
only be pulled over a per cent grade
that is, over hill that rises two feet
in the hundred.
In his address he went into the cost
of permanent roads. urging short time
bonds. and said he considered perma-
nent roads more of an investment than
an expense. The 5000 or $4,000 a
mile invested In permanent rodd is
not loss. he said The money Is spent.
but the community has the road. and
before the road is worn out II has its
value in use and in increased value of
property.-Iowa Homestead.
