GOOD ROADS.

Good roads are like other good
things. 1t takes time and ex-
pense to keep them up, but. with
the proper care of them. after
) they have been properly con-
structed the cost will be nominal.
but If they are neglected they
will soon give trouble and be-
; come costly to maintain. The
thing to do is always to keep the
sroads in first class condition.
Dirt roads would be less expen-
; sive and more satisfactory if they
. We're kept i'll good condition by
the use of the split log drag.
But there are some who do not
; want even good dirt roads if
they must devote their time to
; keeping them up. There are few
of these. but there are many who
: are careless about road working.
which. if properly done. means
: road keeping. 1t takes time and
. money to have good roads of any
kind. but the money spent on
. them is an investment which
; pays large dividends in savings
. on cost of transportation of
products, on vehicles. harness
. and above all, comfort and hap
piness. Why not secure these
. dividends? They are everywh here
to be had for the asking.

Concentrates.

Don't spatter pint of brains over the
vast field Of art, science and literature.
Don't think that smattering of Greek
and Latin, analytics and college yells
make one learned man or fits him for
business, and don't hitch a business
brain to Greek lexicon. Many man
becomes nothing by trying to become
all. The shotgun uses more ammunition
than the rifle, but it isn't half as effect
i've except on little game.
The professions are all over crowded; ;
it requires half a life time for one to
succeed in them, and half fortune to
begin success. With business it is not
SO. The average business man earns
S27, 600 more than the professional man
in the average earning period of a
mans life.
Get busy; do things; life's too short
for business men to spend effort on dead
languages and other things two thousand
years old, when living issues and golden
opportunities are calling them on.
The things that business men want
you to know are not taught in univer-
sity. They must be learned in a prac-
tical business training school like the
Tyler Commercial College Of Tyler,
Texas school that has for years
studied the demands of the business
world, and with its own specially pre-
pared text books and "iearn to do by
doing" methods Of teaching, are meet

Their courses of Business Administra-
tion and Finance, Bookkeeping, Short

business Office. Young friends, there
is no walk in life that you can pursue as
successfully without business training
IS with it.

statements from many of Americas

VERMONT ADOPTS
new ROAD POLICY
Costly Highways TO Be Built
Only When Needed.
ECONOMY FOR LIGHT TRAVEL
Macadam and Other Types Of Expen.
sive Construction Will Be Abandoned.
Brick and Concrete Roads Will Be
Made Near Large Cities.

=
Brick and Concrete Roads Will BE
Made Near Large Cities.
Scarcely less important than the
brick road message Of Governor GIynn
Of New York is the announcements of
the road policy adopted for this year
ny Vermont. As explained by State
Highway Commissioner Charles ".
Gates at a recent meeting of town
road commissioners. he intends to use
the state appropriation Of about S250.
GOO In building trunk roads aud to
spend funds amounting TO more than
$4,000 derived from motor vehicles In
Keeping the most travelled routes in re-
pair. He will abandon macadam and
other types of expensive construction
and return to earth and gravel road
making on the less Travelled highways.
These plans will have the approval
of automobilists who contemplate TAX
ing part in the national touring week
that is being promoted by the national
automobile chamber Of commerce and
the American Automobile association.
The White mountains in New Hamp-
shire will be the objective point Of
hundreds of touring parties that will
pass through Vermont during the week
ending July 4 because OF the Chicago
and Boston run for the Giidden tro-
ply terminating at Boston on July 3
and the seniannual meetin. of the
American Automobile association ut
Breton Woods on July A.
Apart from the advantages of Undue
ing automobile travel, which are well
knowneto New England highway com.
missioners. the plan adopted by Fer-
mont. together with determination to
build brick, concrete or other equally
durable roads near large cities. ana
wherever else a large volume of traffic
makes the cost of maintaining nElcad-
am excessive, is generally considered a
sound. economic policy. any state can
gradually get permanent roads to car
ry it's heaviest traffic without incurrins
any additional expense or curtailing
the mileage OF road improvement by
combining the policies advocated by
the two states
For every mile of gravel road that
is made instead Of macadam, the state
can build one mile of concrete road in
stead Of macadam without the com
bined cost exceeding that of two miles
Of macadam or stone road Gravel
roads. costing from $1,000 to. $1,000 II
mile, will meet the demands Of the
farmers and automobile tourists. and
concrete or brick roads, costing from
$4,000 to $4,000 mile will be Il
boon to all users of heavy teams. mo
tor trucks and passenger vehicles and
to property owners.
Gravel. brick and concrete roads cost
much less to keep In repair than mac
adam roads. so the adoption of this
policy would result in an annual say
ing of several hundred dollars mile
over the all ,nacadam system.
