EXAMPLE OF RIGHT LIVING.

DR.. r. c. Buckner, of the Buck
ner Orphans Home near Dallas, has
returned from a i've months trip
around the world DR.. Buckner has
devoted his life to a practical Chris
tian work. He has seen a vast deal
of suffering and has alleyiated more
of it than any other Texan. Although
he is so years Of age he was able to
take this long journey without incon-
venience. When asked by puzzled
japanese how he travelled so well at
his extreme age, his reply was that
lie had not violated the laws of his
Creator.
There are many grown men in Tex
as now whose memory goes back to
their first impressions in church work
with the thought of their mothers
gathering clothing and groceries to
be shipped to Buckner's Orphans
Home. The work of DR.. Buckner
touched the hearts of Texas people
many years ago, and have fed and
clothed the children he has gathered
from every nook and corner of the
state His has been a work of sal
walton to thousands of children, and
today many of Texas most worthy
men and women were given their first
inspiration to nobler living in the
Buckner Orphans Home. If that
good man could be spared to live ar
other so years he would crowd every
hour of every day Of those years with
useful work.

public roada office emphasizes all
that has been said in other quarters
in this connection. Unless the mu-

wasted.
In many parts of Europe where the
best roads are now to be found, there
has been no construction for centu-
ries, but the problem of maintenance
has enlisted the thought and energy
of the best engineers and workers.
Highways in the United Kingdom
and on the continent are subject to
unremitting upkeep. They are not per
mitted to get out of repair. Trained
men, experienced men, are employed
constantly to superintend gangs or
workers on small sections, and the
result Is common highway system
equal to the metropolitan boulevard
system of the United States. Main
tenance is today the greatest factor
in the solution of the good roads
problem in the United States and
the office of public roads is doing
excellent service in bringing it for

ROAD BUILDING AND MAIN
TENANCE.

There Is peculiar timeliness in the
prominence given by the office OF
public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture to the
question of highway maintenance In
almost every state of the Union, and
in almost every county and munich
money are being or are about to be
spent for road construction. The agi-
tation for good roads carried on
throughout the United States con
tinuously during the last few years
is beginning to bear fruit. Tens of
millions of dollars are to be expended
in improvement of highways, before
the present wears is out. Plans are
making for expenditures that will run
into hundreds of millions in the near
future. New York State alone is
Just now engaged in distributing $5O,-
100000 for roadway improvement
among the different counties.
In a few weeks one of the most i'm
portant road congress ever held in
the country will assemble in Detroit
Here the whole question of local,
State and National aid to road build
ing will be taken up and discussed in
the broadest manner one day OF
the congress is to be given to the
subject of construction and mainten-
ance, the discussion to be under the
auspices of the American Highway
Association. 1t will be well if those
who shall take part in this section of
the program shall acquaint them
selves in advance and later take oc-
casion to acquaint the country thor
oughly with the information on the
subject which the office of public
roads at Washington has been able to
gather.
