HOW AN IOWA TOWN COT BETTER
ROADS.

In the March American Magazine H.
G. Beard. Iowa's State highway commits
sioner. tells how the town Of Mt. Ayr in
Iowa got better roads. A banquet was
given to representative body of farmers
living near the town. When the talking
was concluded, the president of the COM
mercial club announced that the mer-
chants of the town had decided to offer
$35O IN five cash prizes to the organiza-
tons OF farmers who best improved GER
tain portions of the roads leading into the
town. The organizations were to choose
their own road for improvement and to
elect officers and to do the work. Mr..
Beard goes on as follows: "Seven road
clubs were organized before the banquet
hall had been,deserted, and in few days
the principal thought and topic of con-
versation around Mt. Ayr was improving
the road to Mt. Ayr. Work was per-
formed at all times when farm work was
not demanding attention. Road tools be-
came at premium. In one township it
became necessary for the ones in pos
session of a road grader to take the
wheels from it at night and lock them in
caves, to prevent the grader from joining
another road club in the night time.
Highways that had been but neglect
ed by-paths were converted into good
roads before the time for the final judg-
ing was to be done. Brains were COM
bined with labor to get the results.
Men working in the daytime would meet
at a convenient home in the evening and
discuss methods for working the roads.
One road copied the work of another,
and as a result uniform methods of road
building were worked out. And now the
new Iowa State Highway Commission
has followed many of their methods in
improving the roads of the State.
Business followed the better roads,
and the trade territory of the town has
more than doubled in the four years the
plan has been followed. Men striving to
learn how to get interest in road making
aroused have come many miles to see
what has been done and who are
doing it. Farmers, merchants. COM
mercial clubs ard farmers clubs have
sent delegations in autos to see the work
and learn from the workers. Merchants,
trade journals, and automobile journals
have told OF the scheme to every corner
of the country. The town has been ad-
vertised and the work has been copied
until Mt. Ayr thinks its business men and
the farmers near it have great part in
the great better-roads movement that is
sweeping the country

THE PROVIDENT CHIPMUNK.

also likes the orchard because it wells

"AMPlCO, which is the center of
the oil industry in Mexico, is
now storm center about
which the revolutionary forces
have been gathering. The repulse of
the Constitutionalists a few weeks ago
has but whetted their desires, while
they have been cheered by the recent
lifting of the embargo by President
Wilson on the expectation of arms and
munitions of war into Mexico Tam
pico is the seaport of the state of Ia
maulipas, 225 miles northwest of Vera
Cruz The revolutionists have infiict-
ed great damage by setting on fire
great oil gushers in this vicinity.
Dense war clouds, as they may be call
ed, caused by burning oil, constantly
hover over the city.
A scarcity of fuel oil and the threat
ened failure of the supply from the
Tampico fields as result of revolu-
tionary troubles have led the National
railways manager to refuse to handle
any freight except food supplies and
t.
This means the virtual suspension of
freight traffic on all National lines of
the system that remains in control of
the government. 1t is said only a few
days supply of oil is on hand. The
Tampico branch. over which the bulk
of the supply is distributed. is so hope
lessly harassed by the rebels that
traffic on the line has been abandoned.
