Federal MONEY FOR ROADS
Approximation of 100000, to Be
Divided Among Thirty-Eisht
States Is Small Beginning.

The information conveyed through
the Americans Washington reports
concerning the apportionment of $1O.-
900 to this state from the federal ap-
preparation of 100000 to assist in
building post roads in the various
states is important when the full sig
nificance is considered. The appro
priation of $500,O00, to be divided
among forty-eight states, is very
small beginning in the way of building
government post roads, but it is be-
ginning, says the Baltimore American
1t is of great significance that the
government has made a start in the
direction of federal aid in road build
ing. The $4,000 apportioned to Mary
land goes to pay for one-third the cost
of short section of road in Mont
gomery county.

RESULTS WILL BE INDIRECT
Missouri Roads Received but Tenn
porary ements-Romans
Built Slowly and LaboriousIy.

The chief results of the holiday of
roadmaking recently promoted by the
governor of Missouri are likely to be
indirect. After having toiled and
sweated in the sun those who took
part will doubtless have stronger in
terest in supporting good roads legis-
lation whether or not they are as
keen to take part in the actual labor
another year. But, while the Missouri
roads may have received large tenn
porary repairs and improvements.
such holiday, no matter how many
participate in it, can hardly accom-
plish much in the way of permanent
road making. says the Springfield Re-
publican. And it is permanent road
making of which the country stands in
need. Without depreciating the Mis-.
souri, performance it may be recalled
that the Romans. the greatest road
makers the world has known, did not
do their work in spasmodic festivals;
the roads that they built to last for
centuries were built slowly and la
boriously.

GOOD
ROADS
COUNTRY SCHOOL IS FACTOR
Coed Roads Mean Higher Moral and
Educational Standard-shou,a Sc
Regarded as Investment.
(Ry HOWARD FL. GROSSl

(By HOWARD Fl. GROSSD
1here is another factor that has an
important bearing upon the highways
and that is the country school, Good
roads mean better schools and a high
er moral and educational standard,
they bring the best instead OF the
worst out of people. Bad roads max
one feel as though he did not care how
he dressed or how he appeared
Wherever good roads are built the
people begin to buy paint; the house
and the barns are treated; the picket
fence displaces the tumble-down one
III front; rose bushes are planted and
the lawn has attention; all these
things come along apace. Hence
good road building should not be re.
Sarded as an expense but as an in
vestment. They will pay a larger and
surer return than money invested in
almost any other direction. A high
authority has said that with COED
roads the farmer can take advantage
Of the market: with bad roads the
market nearly always takes advan-
tage of the farmer. How many times
the situation arises when prices are
good and the farmer would like to get
his corn or oats off or his hogs, thai
the roads are nearly impossible? II
he attempts to reach market he does
so seriously handicapped. There is
little doubt that with good roads and
watching the market, the farmer can
get better price for what he has to
sell.
Here is significant fact that we
should not forget; That no state or
community ever began the building OF
good 1oads-we mean roads good 500
days in the year-and had the ex
perience of using and paying for
them, that they did not keep on build
ing more and more good roads every
year. The writer is not prophet.
but he makes this prediction: That
before the gray hairs appear on the
temples of the children who open their
eyes first to the light of 1912, we will
have network of good roads that
shall practically cover the whole
country from Plymouth Rock to Puget
sound, and along with that we will!
have scinetific agriculture thu: will
double the farmers profit, by show
ing how to produce his grain at prac
tically one-half the prent cost, and
that this country will be the happiest.
most progressive and enlightened OF
all the world.

Maintaining Good Roads.

The making of good roads is one
of the most important duties of the
American people and their PROMPT
repair and careful maintenance liz
essential. There is probably no sub
