We rs a part of this magnificent

the fact that we have part in it,
and feel a Just pride in seeing to it
that our part of this great body has
the proper circulation and care nee
cssary to promulgate the best in

after that part OF the system in
which we have our abode. Civic
pride should stimulate and nerve us

this great system, but should be in

Good roads benefit every one, as

Boone county is exceptionally bless
cd with the natural advantages
pertaining to good road building.
1t is true we find all conditions of
soil, the dirt road, the sand road,
the rock or gravel road and hills.
All roads should be eventually made
permanent, but as we are now in
our infancy in regard to road build,
ing, | would suggest the following
as beginning.
For dirt roads, first throw up a
good rounding grade, with the
grader; see that all draws, and
natural water courses crossing the
road, have proper culverts, and that
bitches be provided at sides of the
road, large enough to carry all
water from heavy rains, in order TO
prevent washing the road away.
And if YOU cannot gravel or put on
crushed rock at once, then after each
rain, while the soil is in the plastic
state, adopt this slogan;
When the smiles of spring appear,
Drag the roads;
When the summer time is here,
Drag the roads;
When the corn is in the ear,
In the winter cold and drear,
And in every season of the year,
Drag the roads;
When you've nothing else to do,
Drag the roads;
If it is but for an hour or two,
Drag the roads;
1t will keep them good as new,
With a purpose fine and true,

GOOD ROADS
Paper Read Before the Recent Farmers
Meeting BY Geo. R. Wyceii.

What an inexhauStable subject
One can here find subject matter to
occupy his time and thought for
months: SO what can You expect
from me in the short time allowed
for this subject.
History shows us that in the
development of every country, since
the beginning of time the question
of good roads has been the most
important factor, without which
we would be compelled to live with
in ourselves alone, but an all wise
providence has constructed this uni
verse as one large family each member
Of which is more or less dependent
upon other members scattered about
in all parts of the world, and in
order TO be friendly and of benefit to
each other we must have a means of
transportation, that one brother in
this gigantic family may be benefit
to his fellow men. lnconsequence Of
this natural condition, highways
have been opened, connecting with
one another, and for more rapid and
long distance connection, the rail
road came into existance, until to.
day this country is nearly all con,
nected with different kinds of
roads and highways. This is as a
vast system of arteries CARRYING the
bright red blood of civilization co.

For the sand road, provide the
proper grades, culverts and bitches.
being sure TO protect all places
where there is exceptional washing
by rocking the cutters. After grade
is made place upon the surface OF
same some good gravel or rock,
crushed TO about3 - OF an inch in size.
One by six boards can be placed in
line about eight feet apart, and the
gravel or rock dumped between
same and struck off even with the
top of the one by skies. Then re-
move boards and gravel will spread
to about twelve feet wide. This will
give an even and uniform surface.
When the road begins to show
deprcsSionS from the wagons
always going in the same track, use
the drag, and this will draw the
gravel to the center Of the road and
level the track so the rains will
drain to che side of the road, with
out any washing of the track or
grade.
The rock or gravel road is the
class of road that predominates in
this country, and the easiest to i'm
prove for the reason, that the soil is
composed of a chirt flint rock gravel
and dirt so mixed, that when a
grade is properly made with Il
grader and culverts placed at all
low places and natural water ways,
with cutters at each side to carry
all water, YOU have a good hard
road, but it is very important after
the grade is made, to take from the
roadway all rocks larger than q
hens egg This will insure good
smooth roadbed, with less than one
fourth the wear and tear on the
wagon and team, which we have
with the rough rocky road
The hill road is the most expensive
of all, as it requires the moving of
large quantities of rock dirt etc,
from the top to the bottom of the
hills. This class of road really
comes under the head of a permanent
read. All roads when placed upon
a grade, with hills cut and hollows
filled should be made permanent.
The grading oil thesc hills are very
essential to the welfare of our
county, for the reason that in haul
ING load you are only able to haul
an amount equal to what you can
get over the worst place in the road.
To illustrate, take a farmer or
freighter who has haul of 10 miles,
80 per cent of this 10 miles may be
fairly level road, not to exceed 2 per
cent grade, now if the other 10 per
cent of the road has a grade of %
per cent, then he must travel 9 miles
with less than u of a load in order
that he may be able TO get his load
over the one mile with the steep
grade. In other words accurate
tests have shown that a horse that
can pull a thousand pounds ON
level road can only pull about
$50 lbs where gradeis # in lott

Remarkable Story is Told by
Ohio Man Who Has Been Re-
stored by TanIac.

years.

This is the statement of David r..

high tribute as can be paid to a med
icine. Tanlac is literally putting money
into David X Cases pocket every day.
He can count its value to him in dollars
and cents.
''Six months year tor ten years. ="
To the average man this means thou
sands of dollars. 1t NAV mean the diff
ference between want and plenty. 1t
means FIVE years out of mans life.
Mr.. Cases story will strike home to
thousands.

so serious that | could not work more

Greensboro 0nIyWanted Shops
II They We're to be Removed.

Misunderstanding the motives of
Owensboro business people in attempt
ing to locate the Louisville, Henderson
St. Louis railroad shops at this place
the citizens of Cloverport have become
very much offended at the action. In
speaking of the way in which the Clo-
verport people were viewing the mat
ter, members of the local committee
said:
''At no time since the ill-timed con-
flagration at Cloverport, which de-
stroyed the shops, has the Owensboro
committee solicited the railroad COM
pany to remove the shops from Clover
port. 1t has not wanted the company
to move the shops from Cloverport.
Only in the event that the company S
officials decide to remove the shops
does OwensboIo want to be considered.
In every communication that has been
addressed to the president of the road
there has always been the proviso that
if the company determined not to re-
build at Cloverport did Owensboro want
to get into the game.
"Not an greensboro business man
wants the railroad officials to take the
shops from Cloverport. There is no de-
sire on the part of Greensboro citizens
to mistreat Cloverport, but on the other
hand would willingly lend helping
hand in her distress. When Cloverport
was visited with disaster several years
ago Owensboro was one of the first to
send her aid. If it was left to Owens.
boro citizens to say where the railroad
shops should be rebuilt, there would be
a unanimous vote for them to remain
at Cloverport.

fire protection at Cloverpoit, it oc'
Cured to the committee that there
would probably be change in the To-
cation. The committee had discussed
the situation at length and taken into
account that in supplying the railroad
company with land on which to build
there would also be large tract of
land provided for homes for the work.
