Gravel Road.

States department Of agriculture, it is
now possible to prove not only that
good roads are profitable investments,
but to determine exactly what divi-
dends they pay. An investigator as
signed to this problem in any given
locality first ascertains the extent of
the territory that is tributary to any
main road, much as one might ascer-
tain the territory tributary to some
river. The next step is an accurate
estimate of the total products of this
territory-so much grain so much to-
bacco, so much garden truck, etc. Of
this quantity a certain portion is con-
sumed on the farm; the rest is shipped
over the road in question.
The whole calculation can then be
checked by investigators at the ship
ping point to which the road leads In
general it has been found that the
two methods yield much the same in.
formation-the total amount of prod
uce hauled over the road. Next the
length of the average haul is calcu-
lated, the size Of the load permitted by
the character of the road ascertained,
and the cost Of teams and drivers fig
ured. With these facts before him
the investigator is now able to state
positively the cost of hauling a ton
OF produce on that road, to express
In terms Of these "ton-miles" the
freight traffic on the road, and finally
the total cost to the community served
by the road Of hauling it's goods to
market. Armed with these data it is
easy to decide how much money can
be probably spent in improving the
road and what are the returns that the
investment yields to the community.

ADVANTAGES or GOOD ROADS
Energy of Farmers Teams Conserved
by Pulling Heavy Loads Over Com
paratlvely Smooth Surface.

There is no doubt that good roads
tend to prosperity to the farmers who
live on them. Their teams are not
worn out with the effort to pull a
light load over a bad road, for they
easily take a large one to market and
save not only the strength of the
team and wear of the wagon, but
what is of more Importance still, the
time Of the owner.
He gets his product to market more
cheaply and that item alone tends to
more prosperity Then, too, the value
OF his land is increased by the fact
that 1t is on well-made and well.
kept road, for the heaviest tax a farm
er pays is bad roads.

-" i have been at work among the sick

down, weak or emaciated patients, they
have been visibly benefited by it. One
patient, young woman, was so weak
and i'll she could hardly creep to my door
for aid, and was leaning on friends
arm. / supplied Vinol to her literally
and in month when she returned to
thank me / hardly recognized her. She
was strong, her color charming and her
cheeks rounded out. These words are

more people may know about Vinol, as
there is nothing makes me happier in
the world than to relieve the sick. -

the fast eaters that as they do every

that the food should be so finely d.

Our prehistoric parents had good

Ice water has nothing to be said in

I can he accorded moral support and for
mai recognition by all the American
States
No threat or intimation of what will be
the course of the several American coun
tries is given II the suggestion made are
declined, all considerations being for the
time subordinatcd to the primary purpose
the final appeal to the patriotism or all
MexiCans to redeem the prestige of the
nation before the world and to show
whether indeed it's leaders seek personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT or the true welfare OF
| their country.
The complete plan which has been
adopted for the solution Of the prob
! lem has not Yet been published. but
already some demonstrations of the
purposes Of the Latin American coun-
tries and the United States have been
spread which the diplomats fear may
prove cmbarra ssinE. but they are con-
fident that when fully and authorita
lively disclosed it will be difficult for
any of the factions to find just
ground for declining to enter into the
spirit Of cooperation and non-par-
tisanship of the suggestions made.
While the appeal that is to go forth
will not specify the exact course that
is to be followed. the conferees have
taken into consideration all the pos
sibilities Of tho situation. If any fac
ton or group fails to attend the peace
conference those leaders or delegates
who do will be expected to proceed
with the task Of setting up a govern
ment that can be recognized. with
this recognition an embargo on AIMS
would be declared by the Unltcd
groupds and as much moral support
given to the new government as would
enable il through the rehabilitation Of
its finances to equip force large
enough to crash armed opposition.
The attitude of the conference is
that their governments need exert no
pressure but simply will continue tn
stand as helping friends, willing il in
vited. to act in any practicable man
ner to bring the leaders of the factions
together for the discussion of their
own problem-the creation of a pro-
visional government that would event
, ually conduct a general election.

t so far as worked out is that it aims
