cubic yard will lay nine square
yards. Thus the cost of the con-
crete per square yard is 63 cents.
"The cost of the bituminous part,
being a heavy asphalt oil coating 80
per cent asphalt, includes the cost of
oil, freight, haulage. heating, spread
ing and the cost of stone screenings,
sand, hauling and spreading the
same; in fact, the total cost of the
surface coats. Add this to the cost
of the concrete ind you have the
total cost of the surfaced pavement,
So.
"On the basis of the average cost
and maintenance of macadam COM
pare it with the concrete:
Mac Con-
adam crete.
First cost ost..........$0.54O $O.695
Upkeep for 10-year
period ........... 0.511 O.260
Total per square
yard $1.051 $0.955
This indicates saving of sc
cents per square yard in favor of the
concrete type over macadam, or $S45
per mile of 15-foot road. If cement
were used without blending, the saw
ing would be wiped out; but even
then the concrete road could still
compete with macadam road.
Bread and Butter Question.
This is not matter of pleasure
vehicles and picnic parties. 1t is an
issue of bread and butter. Many mil
lions of dollars in mud taxes-the
cost of 10 to SO cents per ton mile
for hauling is a mud tax which
makes the tariff joke in compari-
son-are coming either out of peo-
pies mouths or out of their pocket
books, depending upon whether they
go without food or pay too much for
it, Good roads will lift this mud
tax, will lower TIE high cost of liv-
ing more than any one factor, and
will make corlmunity existence pos
sible under new conditions. Com
munity existence will be possible
without having the people hudGled
together with an ever-increasing ien-
dency of the population toward cit
les.
I'm view OF the already rapid de-
struction of many well-built mac
adam roads in Oregon, and in view
of the universal conclusion that mac
adam is not adapted to modern traf-
fic, such as motor trucks, road tract
ors and mechanice' haulage general
ly, and in view of the fact that such
traffic will in all probability be the
prevailing traffic within a few years,
l believe that any large expenditure
in the future construction of mac
adam would be unwise and result
only in bitter disappointment"

Thursday evening in the high
school gym the Ashland basketball
teams, both boys and girls, met the
teams of Yreka. The girls game
was a good one, although the Ash
land girls were beaten. The Yreka
girls were decidedly too fast for our
girls but were held down by our
good team work. Everyone was
sorry to hear that the final score was
IA to II in favor of Yreka. The
boys game was such an easy walk
away that the audience nearly went
to sleep the last half. There were
some good plays, however, and a few
exciting places in the first half.

Friday afternoon was the time for
general program. The program was
an unusual one, all the numbers be-
ing sober and very dignified, due no
doubt o'the new rule concerning the
preparation of the reading matter.
The program was as follows:
Piano duet by the Misses Murphy
and King.
Original story Ly Miss Esque.
Solo by Miss Hamlin.
Recitation by Miss Miller.
Piano solo by Miss Dourghty.
The critics report was very good
and was received well, especially the
part that read "* some slang
was used, the most noticeable being
'cut it out. The most humorous
part was that Mr.. Moore did not take
the hint.

" The LOnesOmest
Place On Earth"

New York is the largest city In
the country, but II is the most lone
some place on earth"
Thus spoke 16-year-old Hazel
Deane. the pretty girl who. in des-
pair Of finding honest work and
friends she could trust, recently took
poison.
81 was so tired and so lonesome,
she explained. when her life had
been saved. 81 just gave up.
The largest city. the city with the
most folks. and still the lonesomest
place on earth. If you've ever been
a stranger In New York you know
It's true.
ral ci.v is lonesome to the
stranger within it's gates. The lar
ger, the more people. the lonesomer.
Alone in the wilderness. you have
for companionship the trees. the
birds. the stars; and you feel safe.
But in the. desert OF the city you are
surrounded by human hyenas and
you don't know what voice TO trust
In the city, the good and kindly
people have their own homes and
their own set. to which they speed
when the toll OF the day is ended.
They're not used to the neighborly
ways of the country or town. ii you
approach them they think you are
forward. maybe criminal. They have
lost the fine art OF unaffected hu.
man fellowship. Their hearts are
encrusted with suspicion and reserve.
How to thaw this reserve. how to
get folks to know each other just
as folks. Is the problem which the
city will have to learn II 1t would
have the finest human values.
The city sells entertainment. Il
sells excitement. 1t has Astounding
marts for the sale of everything In
the list Of human needs excepting
this one great need OF human fellow
ship. which cannot be sold; which
must be given away. else IL Is spur
ious.
The dessert OF the city needs life
saving GASES. Not places where you
can be preached at, patronized, stud
led az an insect under microscopes;
but centers Of natural fellowship;
centers of democracy
The city that makes you feel lone
some is the city which is losing its

To toll through the day and night for It
And never to turn aside:
To hold his honor dear to him

To follow the course that's clear to him
To the End of the World--and past.
To help the weak and the falterng,
The weary among the throng.
Yet keep, with VIII unaltering

To bear the ills that are bearable
With a courage that will not tire. t-s.

To spend his substance royalty

Whenever she blocks the road:
To love One Woman and hold to her
That Is the Strong Mans Code!
