IMPROVING MICHIGAN ROADS.
Farmers Now Appreciate the Value to
Them of Better Highways.

Farmers Now Appreciate the Value to
Them of Better Highways.
1t is a strange fact that the state of
Michigan. in which more than % per
cent of the worlds automobiles are
manufactured. has some of the poorest
roads in the whole country The fact
that a large portion of the state is low
lying and that another large portion of
it is sandy accounts for this to large
extent.
The country in which Michigan's me
trOpolis, Detroit. is situated had until
recently VIGOROUSLY bad roads This
was due to the swampy nature Of the
section, which, biologists tell US, was
formerly the bed of great inland sea.
Time after time appeals were made
TO the automobile manufacturers 10 aid
in the good roads movements i'll vari-
Gus sections, but most of them have
been ignored for two reasons-first, a
natural Discrimination to pay out their
own money for the general good even
though it was conceded that the auto
mobile profits very largely by good
roads, and, second, because the auto
mobile manufacturers maintained that
their support for good roads really
served to prejudice the farmers-who
are, in fact. the greatest benehciaries-
against the movement.
Your old time farmer was liable to
Jump to the conclusion that if it bene-
fits some one else it must necessarily
injure him. So in his early hatred of
the automobile he condemned any good
roads movement.
OF late the farmer has been the most
enthusiastic user of the automobile and
also of the motor truck, incidentally
he has found that strip of good road
from his farm to the city not only ell
abled him to transport his farm prod
nee TO the market at a great saving of
time, but means great saving of equip
ment-hOrses, wagons, harness. etc.
1t is difficult to realize now that the
farmer didn't appreciate the tremen-
dous expense he incurred by hauling
heavy roads over rutty, rocky, muddy
roads. He wore his horses out in half
their normal life. and his wagon and
harness equipment lasted even less
than that length of time; also he has
to use much heavier equipment than
is necessary on good roads. with the
consequent greater deterioration of
horSefieSh.
With the building of a few sections
of good roads around Detroit came an
appreciation of them on the part of
farmers as well as motorists. and now
there is an insistent demand for more
of them.

PROFITS IN zinc.

Undoubtedly the biggest news for
this section of Wisconsin is in the
chronicling of the doings of the zinc
industry. But, for country news
paper this seems to be almost impos-
sible. However little items come
through once in awhile. To show
how widespread is the interest, the
following news item that appeared in
the Milwaukee Sentinel, last Friday,
gives but hint:
GILBERT H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the United
States Steel corporation, announced
Thursday afternoon that the company
intended establishing new plant
near Pittsburg to cost from So. 500, :
600 to So, 10000 The plant will
be used for the manufacture of zinc
and by-products. ;"
This indicates, probably, that big
business thinks the European war is
to go on and that the present sensa-
tionally high price of zinc products
will remain, if it is not increased.
For this section of Wisconsin, the
zinc news is of absorbing interest.
Over in the Platteville district, it
is said that dividends of % per cent
a month are not at all unusual,
although every effort is being made
to keep such profits a secret.

A NEW COAT OF PAINT,
LANCASTER STANDPIPE
First in Nine Years--Cost $50 for
the Work Alone, and
Lot of Material.

Thompson & Williams, the stand
pipe painters, have finished work on
the local tub. They certainly know
how to run around on stagings, away
up in the air. On the Lancaster job
they worked 10 days, besides the
time they spent out of town.
1t mas been nine years since the
old standpipe has been painted, and
it certainly needed the cover. The
lower six rings were badly oxidized,
and the accommodations had to be cut
off with chisels. Then, to cover all
the mess, Is gallons of graphite paint,
to which was added seven gallons of
oil. These men, who live away up
in the air during their working
hours, hail from St. Paul region.
They work all over the country, and
do not get to see their families for
weeks at a time. They were paid
$50 for their work.

GOOD ROADS DAY.


The holding of a good roads
day in which rural and urban
citizens shall join in the con-
StructiOn or improvement of a
piece Of the public highway is a
means of not only securing a
piece of improved road. but the
observance of such a day can be
used to stimulate interest in
road work and also to secure q
more cordial understanding be-
tween the inhabitants of the
country and the city. 1t would
not be difficult to offer Objec-
tions as to the possible efficiency
of a good roads day as a means
of constructing or improving
roads, but such an occasion can
be fully justified provided con-
siderable attention is given to
arOusing more interest in the
roads and to an interchange of
views on highway problems be-
tween the different classes of
people who use the roads. The
experience in some such at
tempts has been that there was
a surprising readiness to coop
crate in such public improve
ments. In not a few instances
city chambers of commerce and
city automobile clubs have made
very substantial contributions
for the improvement of the
earth roads leading to the cities
in which these organizations
had their headquarters.-Ira o.

The Chemist Dumas and Chlorine.

The Chemist Dumas and Chlorine.
The guests at a ball given at the
Tuileries, Paris. were once distressed
by something in the air which irritated
everybody. The most famous chemist
of the day was consulted as TO the
mysterious cause His son-in-law, Du-
mas. had the happy thought that per-
haps the irritating particles in the air
came from the wax candles. He found
on analysis that these candles had
been bleached by chlorine. Immediate
ly they were lighted compound was
added to the air that irritated threats
and noses. This chance discovery led
Dumas to study the whole effect of
chlorine. with farreaching results in
chemistry.
