FACTOR IN COMMUNITY LIFE.
United States Just Beginning to Real ike importance of Better Highways.

No single factor plays such an i'm life of T community as the quality of its roads. Aside from the pleasure and convenience of travel possible at all times over permanent roads. there is the financial phase which directly con- cerns the cost not only of farm produce, but of city products as well; conse- quently everybody wants good roads. In the matter of paving for perma- nent highways ! generally satisfactory agreement seems te have been reached n the proposed distribution of tbe cost between the nation. the state, tie coun- Y and the users Of tue road ia ques- ton. As q result within few. years this country will take it's rightfHl lead ing position among the nations of the world Iii fhe number of miles If perma- nent roads.
 In q way | is fortunate trat the United States has been rather slow in the matter of roadmaking The roads can now be built of lasting materials such as viii withstand the wear of motor traffic. which is fast ruinHg Ea- ropes century old roadways Lasting road materials are everywhere present n the form ef sand and gravel from pits and stream beds and crushed rock from stone quarries. Combined with portland cement into concrete they form an inexpensive and permanent road surface which successfully resists the usually destructive action of auto mobiles.
 The first consideration in tue build ing Of concrete roads is d careful study af local deposits Of sand. grave and rock called fhe aggresatel to see whether they are suitable fer concrete sand musf#be clean and hard and must grade uniformly III size of grain from one-auarter inch down. He same ap- plies practically to gravel and crushed rock
 There are two phases of the cost of any improvement-fr cost and up- keep expense Tn both items the con crete road has proved less expensive than any other Kind of permanent roadway. Of some three million yards of city and country concrete pave ments built iu recent years the aver age first cost has been SI22 square yard. The annual upkeep expense mile ou these roads has been a most nothing. In Bellefoutaine, o. concrete pavemeGts iI use eighteen years have
 est annually fer maintenance only ane-qaarter of one cent square yard. Cpkeep cost of Wayne county Mich country concrete roads for tbree years has averaged hut See.:jo q mile
 In 19ll the mean cost of repairing macadam roads in New York state was SSoo milc-49 per cent Of the hrst cost If these roads had. been con. crete practically a8l the imme1ze ex= pense could have been saved and used ia baiidins uew roads instead of re pairing old ones With better roads Hii come better szAooIs. better church es happier hames better business and fecrpa Sed go~.af living

GOOD ROADS AND FARMERS.

IL costs more for the farmers of America to carry their crops to the railroad station than it costs 10 carry these crops from he railroad stations to the cen tral market
 These prices are not always shown in the price list or in the statement of annual expendi lures. but they are facts pever theless. and it behooves the farm CT therefore to see 10 it that this item in the expense of market ing is reduced to a minimum.
 Let him have a good road all the year round. so that be can do a great part of bis hauling to the railroad station and away from it at periods of the year when he can do very little farm work.-Home and Farm.

TOOK SON BACK HOME
Youngster From Oklahoma City Up
AGAINST Too Hard Game.

Youngster From Oklahoma City Up
Against Too Hard a Game.
Mrs. j. A. Sullivan of Oklahoma
City. accompanied by her daughter
and her son, John Sullivan. and
Walter B. Paschall. left here yester.
day for her home in Oklahoma City.
She intended to leave here Saturday
night, but the trip was descrred until
Sunday afternoon. Her son, aged
q, had attempted to commit suicide
at Ringing last Friday morning, but
had been saved, and was being taken
back home.
The young man Is a fine specimen
of physical manhood, he stands six
feet or little better weighs about
$50 pounds, and looks as If he might
see plenty of things ahead of him
which he would like to do.
He was in the restaurant drinking
CURED in which two men lost their
lives last Thursday night, and by
his rash act following next morning,
there were some who suspcioned
that he was connected with the hold
up Bud Ballew, the officer who fig
ured in the holdup. made the positive
statement that Sullivan had nothing
whatever to do with the holdup. The
boy had asked for poison of Ring
ling druggist on Tuesday morning
before the Writ incident, but was de
MED the poison. He was despondent
when he left home. and broke down
and cried in the presence OF his
mother and sister before leaving. He
suffers from stomach trouble, which
has involved his heart, causing him
to spend many sleepless nights. His
mouth and throat are seriously burn
ed, but aside from that he is in no
danger and will probably be well
within few days.

TENNEssEE's EXPERIMENT.

Unshackled negro conyicts have
been employed successfully during
the past summer upon the roads Of
Tennessee.
A report on the convict road work
made by the Tennessee state board
OF control to the National Committee
that hfty.nve state prisoners, all ne
groes and unshackled, worked on the
roads of williamson county. Twenty.
five of these men were made TRUSTEES
and only three attempted escape, al
though the number of guards never
exceeded five. The prisoners were
healthy and apparently well satisfied
with the work, while the farmers OF
the vicinity found nothing objection
able in the experiment
Tennessee conycts have for many
years been employed under the con
tract system. but public opinion is be-
ginning to demand that this plan be
discontinued. The movement against
the contract system has been fur
thcrcd by the attitude of Governor
Rye. who urged it's abolition in his
message to the last legislature
The legislature did not abolish it,
but provided for the road work as a
means of affording better employment
to the prisoners. The present con.
tracts. however, contain the provis-
ion that by act of the next lcgis-
lature they may be terminated on
six months notice. James S. Den.
ton, the president of the state board
of control, is well pleased with the
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-11-22

road experiment, and considers 1t
probable that number OF contracts
will be made with the counties for
the employment of copyicts on the
roads next season.
Road work affords such excellent
opportunity to the negro convict IN
the southern states that the national
committee on prisons and prison labor
is watching the Tennessee experiment
with much interest. The committee
is encouraged by the fact that the
negro has worked unshackled ana
has responded to- the responsibility
imposed upon him Tennessee Is to
be congratulated upon the foresight
OF Governor Rye and the board of
control and the excellent progress
made under their guidance towards
the solution of the prison labor prob
lens of the state.
