PIKE WILL BE A
DUSTLESS ROAD
$40, 900 Will Be Spent By the
Valley Turnpike Directors
For Asphalt Treatment.
TO PRESERVE THE ROADBED,

A dustless asphaltic road, from
Winchester to Staunton was de-
cided on Thursday by the direc-
tors of the Valley Turnpike Com
pany, at the annual meeting of
this company held in Stanton.
After the completion Of the ap-
p1ication of the tar binder, which
is being applied to the road near
Staunton, there will be about Is
miles of roadway of the Valley
turnpike treated with some DUST
less preservative.
The directors, at their meet
ing Thursday, approved the
policy of preserving the roadbed
by the use Of bituminous binders,
and adopted resolution looking
to the treatment of the remain
ing 20 miles of turnpike in the
spring and summer of next year
so that at the end of the year
1914, the road from Winchester
to Stanton will be treated with
some bituminous binder and the
surface rendered Smooth and dust
less.
Supt. L. R. Dettra was in
structed to start at once making
preparations for this work next
year.
It was estimated that the cost
of applying a binder to the 7O|
miles of road next year would be
from $500 to $4,000, and
large force of men will be en-
ployed by the Valley Turnpike
Company during the fall and win
ter to prepare the roadbed for the
application of this material.
In discussing the policy of the
Valley Turnpike Company, Pres
ident H. F. Bird said today:
II appreciate the fact that the
treatment of 20 miles of road in
one year with bituminous bind
Err is an ambitious project. Due,
however to the constantly in
creasing automobile traffic, which
is the predominating traffic now
of the Valley pike in my iudg-
ment it is absolutely necessary
that some preventative be applied
to the surface of the road, so
that the foundation will be pro- !
tected from the automobile traf-
fic and rendered impervious to
moisture.
'sSince the advent of motor traf- /,
fic. the methods of road mainte-
nance have changed most radi- (
.ally. Prior to automobile traffic
he loose stone method of MAIN
aiming roads was entirely salts {
actory. This method is simply b
he distribution of loose stone on !
he surface of the road and per-, 9
hitting the traffic to pnlverize
he stone, and the fine dust re-
ultinp would act as cementing 9

INCREASED COST TO DEALERS

National Bureau Of Labor Makes Re-
port in Regard to High Cost
Of Living.
The bureau of labor has lately made
another report in regard to the high
cost of living, which says:
Investigations Of retail prices In 40
cities conducted by experts of the bu-
reau of labor show prices practically
at the same level as last November,
when the high records Of the last
quarter century were reached. The
cost Of living on June Is was approx
mately go per cent higher than the av-
erage between 1890 and 1900. more
than 2 per cent higher than it was
year ago and nearly Is per cent high
er than it was two years ago. Four
teen articles Of food were investigat-
ed; every one except sugar showed
marked advance; bacon, which led in
the soaring, went up 1885 per cent.
Commenting on this, John A. Green,
secretary National Retail Grocers as
sociation, aptly remarks:
II it were not for the construction
likely to be put on this report by many
unthinking people, we might let the
report go without comment.
There is nothing in the report that
would indicate what causes are re-
sponsible for the higher cost Of COM
modities other than they are being
sold at retail.
One year ago onions grown in this
section could be bought on track at IS
cents per bushel; today shippers are
paying Is and 80 cents. Potatoes one
year ago were sold to shippers for so
and 60 cents per bushel today they
are paying to farmers 80 to 90 cents.
We might mention many other
items, but here are two staple COM
modities that speak in terms easily
understood. The high price Of meat
is no doubt attributable to the same
cause. After season of misrepre-
sentation and abuse heaped on the re-
taller, which brought out a thorough
investigation as to his net profits, and
the service rendered to the public by
him, he has been given recognition as
an important underpaid factor by
nearly all of the leading magazines
and newspapers Of the country.
The fact that the price is advanced
at the retail store and reported by
the bureau of labor. without any ref
erence to any other factor, is apt to
leave an impression that the retailer
arbitrarily fixes price to suit him
self regardless Of cost conditions.
| In justice to the retailers of this
country, can we not have q report of
the cost to the retailer and the causes
leading up. to the change in food
prices in general.
For one week during March, 1918, q
| special sale Of canned goods was ex-
tensively advertised all over the
United States. at which time canned
foods were offered to the public at q
lower price Equality considered) than
at any time in the history of canned
foods.
What the public want to know is
facts as to the cause and remedy, IL
there be any.
Wages in many instances have risen
In the time quoted by the bureau of
labor from 20 to 80 per cent
The percentage Of profits OF the re-
taller has continuously decreased and
are less on staple commodities than
for many years.
! In fact. the ratio Of profit is less
than at any time in the writer's ex-
perience.
