WORK ON ROADS IN SUMMER
Building and Maintaining Highways
Is More Kindly Thought Of by
Many Of the Users.

Gradually the farmers IL practical
ly every community are beginning to
take personal interest In the matter
Of making the roads they are forced
to use better and more flt for general
travel all the year round.
In those states where the road
work Is done by farmers and their
teams it is hard to get the labor done
when the weather conditions are best,
says a writer in Farm Progress. They
will not leave their fields to put In

But there are signs Of better times

team and q good wagon. Soft clay,

I believe 1t was the necessity Of max

difference along the old road. We

roads where they were passing were

Procress aac Prosperity.

Our public highways are the ave
nues over which al the people may
travel. They are the avenues which
ell our marketable farm products
must pass before reaching the chan
nels of trade and commerce. Good
roads mean progress and prosperity, a
benefit to the people who live in the
cities and an advantage to the people
who live in the country. They mean
the economical transportation Of mar
ketable farm products, the necessaries
Of life at a minimum cost.

CREATE AN ESTATE TODAY

WHAT are you working for? Isn't it
to build up an independent future for
yourself; to provide for your loved
ones so that the comfort of your home
and the happiness of those about you
will not cease at yor death or In your
age? A great many men fail to re-
alize this desire through Incidence and
lack of foresight in the very yeaIs
that should be the most beneficial.
Their intentions are good-but inten-
tons pay no bills, buy no food, dress
no widow and children, pay no rent
or interests, lift no mortgages, buy no
home, nor do they keep you in your
declining years.
If you were offered a credit of n
few thousand dollars, to be paid to
your family at your death, or to your
self 20 years hence, should you be
alive, and in consideration of that
credit vol pay a minimum annual
interest on that sun for 20 years,
you would consider it an easy way
of securing an estate-an opportunity
of providing yourself and dear ones
against possible want. You would not
hesitate a moment to grasp II.
That's just What Insurance
Amounts To!
Why not insurance now, when you're
in health. 1t will sometime be too
late. The time is now, and here is the
logical place for right insurance.

Several threatening letters have

place a second stamp on the bill OF
lading, in order that the shipment
might go through. The shippers
threaten to Il the railroad company

SALIsRuRY,s EXPENsEs.

From the Salisbury Tribune.
It costs about $4,000 a year to run
the city of Salisbury. That is a great
deal of money, but it does not include
all that the people of this city pay
for public work. This money is ex-
pended about as follows:
Street improvements. $4,000; water
rent, S92252; sinking fund, $5,591.4s (;
street construction. $6,414T2: city
lighting. S4.654; street maintenance
S5.S4972; fire department. S1,467.75;
city hall expenses. S2,S71.53; police de-
partment. $2,395.43 salaries city Of
fiicials. $3.O49.6f
These are only the main items. Lit
tie, il any criticism can be made about
most of these, but we notice one item
that looks unnecessarily large. ST.
S71.53 are paid for "city hall expense
This covers a number of items that
are not properly classed as such,
otherwise the sum is too large.
But the thing we wish most to call
attention to is the fact that nothing
wstever appears to have been expend-
ed for the very important work OF
removing garbage. Could not the city
