ROAD
BUILDING
POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
More Fuss Over Freight Rates Than
Cost Of rauIlng Crops From
Farm to Railroad.

A good deal of fuss Is raised over
freight rates, and everybody who has
anything to do with the transportation
Of crops or merchandise is up In arms
the moment railroads give the least
lntimation that freight rates are to be
advanced. But at the same time, there
5 strcpg tendency to give no atten-
ticn to the cost OF hauling farm crops
from their point of origin on the farm
- the railroad station; a matter OF
greater concern than all the railroad
rates in the world. says Fruit Grower
and Farmer.
Uncle Sam has found that II costs
In the neighborhood Of 25 cents a mile
to haul Q ton over the average coun-
try road. But this cost may run up
to ten times this figure over bad roads.
and be reduced as many times over
good roads with modern vehicles.
This cost is something that is rarely
ever figured in by the producer when
summing up his marketing expense,
even though 1t will frequently mako a
figure that is not much less than the
cost of getting his produce to the dis
tant market by rail.
Good roads are expensive to build
and are more or less of an expense to
maintain. but II it were possible to
compare the lowered cost of trans
porting the farm produce over the
road before and after improvement it
would be found that the cost was paid
back with interest within a very few
years after improvement. Low grades
are of first consideration, for it costs
more money to haul over a billy road
than over a level one. where the sur
face is the same. But on almost any
road, 1t is easily possible to have at
least a smooth surface on which to
drive
The King drag is the implement that
will make the surface smooth and
keep It smooth. And the wonder OF
1t is that more farms do not have a
drag as an essential part of their
equipment. Road dragging time is
just coming with the breaking up OF
the snow, and its usual accompani-
ment of mud. Heavy traffic over such
roads makes ruts and bad roads of the
worst sort, unless the ruts are filled
by dragging. Prepare now to keep
your road dragged this year. and
lower the cost of hauling your prod
uce to market. V
Remember. also. that wide-tired
wdgons pull more easily than narrow
tired ones 30 per cent of the times
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1915-07-31

when they are used. The wide tire
does not cut so deep and makes bet
ter track on roads which are travelled
while the ground Is soft. The wide
tire packs the surface into firm road
bed, and thus enables 1t to drain well
in time of rain.
In cornfields. plowed fields, field
lanes, and on pasture and alfalfa land
the draft on the wide tire is consider
ably less, no matter what the condi-
ton of the soil. The wide tire does
not cut up the meadow or field as
does the narrow tire. This is also
important. as a smooth surface in the
meadow is much easier to NOV over.
Use no tire less than four inches on
your fields or on soft roads; make a
King road drag and use it. Thus low
er your own freight rates by lowering
your hauling costs.

Twenty Maxims Of Thomas Davidson

people.
!. Cling with all your might to your
own highest ideals. and do not be

you are will show in what you do.
E, Never fret. rep.ne. envy. DO not

ing your circumstances with those
OF more fortunate people; but make
the most OF the opportunities you
have. Employ prontably every mo-
ment.
Associate with the noblest people
you can find; read the best books;
live with the mighty. But learn to
be happy alone.
DO not believe that all greatness
and heroism are In the past. Learn

Be on earth what good people hope
to be In heaven.
Cultivate ideal friendships and
gather into an intimate circle all your
acQuaintances who are hungerlng for
truth and right. Remember that
heaven Itself can be nothing but the
intimacy Of pure and noble souls.
Do not shrink from any useful or
kindly act. however hard or repellant
1t may be. The worth OF acts ia
measured by the spirit In which they
are performed.

you do not follow its ways. pay no
heed to II. But be sure your way is
right.
IL thousand plans fail, do not be
disheartened. As long as your pur-
poses are right. you have not failed.

No one can tell when the bride of
today will introduce the mode of to-
day in some detail of her wedding
gown, be it ever so conventional in
style. For since her choice Of fabrics
may lie anywhere from tulle to bro
cade, falling upon the lightest or the
heaviest or any of the gradations be-
tween, she has as wide choice in
design. This follows because she must
adapt style to the fabric, and there
fore we have wedding gowns and
wedding gowns, no two alike and all
interesting.
But brides are apparently of one
mind as to the treatment of the bodice.
Nearly all of them choose the cOnven-
tional V-shaped neck, more or less
low.
AS to skirts, they may be short and
wide, In thin materials, and unframed.
A girlish French model of lace and
chiffon was made even a little shorter
than ankle length, with wide panel Of
lace down the front, broadening to-
ward the bottom. The skirt fared de-
cidedly. Having departed In an op-
posite direction from the conventional
mode thus far, the designer appears
to have repented The very long
sleeves of chiffon and very high neck
In the lace bodice made a humble and
contrite apology for the engaging
frivolity Of the skirt.
