MORE ATTENTION TO BRIDGES
Greatest Menace to Tractor Which
Could Be Put to More Use on Many
Of the Small Farms.

.
We will never be able to readily
make much use of the gas or steam
tractor on the farms until we make up
our minds to pay more attention to our
roads and bridges. Especially the
bridges. They are the greatest men,
driver, and there has been little i'm
prcvement in the type OF bridges since
the engine was put to work on the
farms, writes William e. Rose of Iowa
In Farm Progress.
1t is rather strange that we are will
ing to use the traction engine to pull
our road plows and our road graders
and still refuse to build bridges and
culverts strong enough to allow the
same engire to pass In safety when
pulling threshing outfit or train Of
farm wagons. But 1t Ia the truth, new
erthelssa ... ~.
In spit 9 OF all the possibilities Of tha
tractor or the old-fashioned traction
engine, lot of people look upon it as
al Ugly contraption that ruins road
surfaces, smashes culverts, breaks
down bridges, scares horses and sets
fire to meadows and rail fences.
1t is altogether wrong. We could
make splendid use of the tractor on
any and all farms of more than eighty
acres. Some day we will make these
engines do much of the work, the
heavy hauling done by horse teams,
and we will save money by so doing.
But that time will not come until We
have better roads. And that cannot
comes to pass until we get better su.
pervision of road building than we
have at present.
In many states the traction driver
who crosses a bridge takes a chance
not only of injury to himself and his
expensive engine, but also assumes the
liability of having to repair the bridge
If he breaks 1t down. Such laws dis
courage the use of tractors as much
as they do better road building. The
bridges are the worst feature of this
condition.
The tractor has right to use the
public highways. 1t has just as much
right to- the public road as the heavy
automobile, the overloaded farm wag-
on or any other heavy conveyance.
The men who build such engines and
the men who would like to own and
use them should insist that these ma
chimes be given that right. No one
dreams of forcing the automobile off
the public highways now, and the over
.oaded farm wagon has used the public

roads since they were the merest
trails,
The heavy wheels and the weight OF
\ tractor help pack the highways and
make them more durable, The big
wheels compact the road surface. and
this Is one reason why the tractor is
SO efficient as road grader and build
er. With good bridges and solidly built
culverts there will be no trouble with
the usual type Of tractor. whether gas
or steam.
We are going to have to pay more
attention to the kind Of work contrac-
tors do on our steel and concrete
bridges and we will be forced to see
that the original specifications make
allowance for the weight of tractors.

MOTOR SOUP WAGONS
 FOR THE BRITISH ARMY

LONDON, March 16.-The first motor soup kitchen is now on it's way to the front. A dozen others, bought jointly by the British Red Cross and St. Johns Ambulance will soon follow.
 The motor soup kitchen is entirely a new provision for the wounded, it's functions being to keep in close touch with the field ambulances and provide a hot, nourishing drink for those who have received first aid. Soup, meat extracts, tea, coffee and cocoa will be served. The motors carry their own water supplies.
 A number of courageous women volunteered for this serive, but their services were not accepted, as the war department does not allow women to go as near to the firing line as the soup wagons would have to go.

Cordovans are very much wrought up over the interference by the Seat tie Commercial Club in Alaskan af- fairs, by passing resolution oppos- ing the purchase of the Copper River & Northwestern railway. What busi- ness is it of those busy-bodys what route President Wilson selects for our trunk line. Certainly this action on the part of the residents of the "Spir- 1t City" has not made a hit here, and there is some talk of the local mer- chants communicating with the whole sale houses in Seattle to find out whether they propose to remain silent while a particular section of Alaska is being knocked. ."-Cordova Times.
