II is the attention to the arrange

country, II Is Q well-knovn fact that
In our rural schools the attendance
almost invariably shows Q marked de-
crease during the periods when the
roads are bad. Another point worthy
OF consideration Is that the one-room
school is being supplanted by larger
consolidated schools throughout those
portions OF the country where condi-
tons make 1t practicable to convey
children to school at the public ex-
pense. Roads passable at all times
are most necessary for successful
school consolidation. There IL abun-
dant evidence to prove that any ex-
tensiye road improvement Is followed
BY better schools and better school
attendance. In some OF these schools,
advanced courses have been intro
duced, and It has been possible to
employ teachers having special quail
hcations and training.
With good roads. some Of the ad-
vantages Of the city can be brought
to the country. Social gatherings be-
come more frequent, and improved
social conditions exert : decided e.

of the house. This makes 1t possible
to have a double exposure for each
room, which insures a plentiful air
supply that is most important in bed
rooms.
The inside hall makes all the rooms

from the bath, which is located oppo-

Il Is estimated that the people Of
this country annually waste $250,000,.
900 because Of bad roads. Inyestiga-
lions have shown that the average
cost Of hauling on roads in the United
States is 20 cents per ton per mile
1t costs the farmer more to haul q
bushel Of wheat ga miles, the average
distance from farm to shipping point,
than 1t ordinarily costs to ship it
from New York to Liverpool. In
France, England and Germany, consul
lar reports show instances where the
cost Of hauling agricultural products
Is as low as 10 cents per ton per
mile. II the farmers of this country
could reduce the cost of hauling to Is
cents per ton mile, they would save

The benefits of good roads are nu-
merous and far-reaching. They are a
powerful factor in promoting better
farm conditions throughout the coum-
try. They make the farmer more In
dependent of seasonal and weather
conditions and permit him to take bet
ter advantage of favorable market and
prices. They increase the value Of his
Farm and so enhance his material
wealth. They promote better agricul-
tural methods and are necessary for
an efficient rural delivery and parcel

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers Of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries

This is an attractive family house of
q style that is becoming more popular
all the time, especially in the West.
1t is fairly small, 28 by 3S feet and,
being built in square shape, all the
room inside is utilized to the largest
extent. Three rooms are located on
the first floor, and on the second there
are four bedrooms and bath. There
is also e small sewing room located
in the front central part Of the second
floor
The porch is built into the house and
is under the main roof. The columns
on each side and the one at the other
front corner Of the house give dig
nified appearance to the exterior. The
broad windows carry the impression
of CHEEKY, bright interior.
A house that is nearly square, as is
this one, presents many advantages.
In the first place all the space is util-
lied and 1t is possible to get large
rooms which are well lighted and ven
tilated. The bedrooms especially can
be set in the corners so that they have
an exposure in two directions. Also
house of this style is very easily
heated.
A feature of the lower floor is the
large and comfortable living room. 1t

With good roads the produce can be

here again the public roads play no

Washington, March Promotion
Of naval officers by selection instead
of, by seniority, an. increase OF. 81
per Cent in officers Of all grades, ere
alton of war reserve list, and res
toration of the popular old rank OF
commodore are proposed in bill
drafted by the navy personnel board
and transmitted to congress today by
Secretary Daniels.
The measure, the result OF two
years Of study and work by the board
is designed to increase the efficiency
Of the service, put men in commando
ing positions at an earlier age and
open the way for rise Of subordinate
officers now virtually barred from
hope of promotion.
Under the plan, all officers above
the rank of lieutenant would be sub
ject to promotion by selection upon
passage of the bill, the selection be-
ing made from each grade by Off
GERS of the ranks above.
The board reported that after care
full consideration it was convinced the
system of promotions by seniority
must be abandoned.
Attached to the report is an appen
dix, dealing with the need of the ma
rine corps, brought about by increases
in the navy personnel. This proposes
that the total number of enlisted
men of the marine corps shall be in
creased to 20 per cent Of the total
authorized strength of the navy, and
that the number of marine corps Off
GERS shall be 4 per cent of the au'
thorized number of enlisted men.

Kahn of California as an amendment

out objection.
The plan contemplates not only an
effort to enlist in the reserve in peace
time, teamsters, merchants, railroad
men, chauffeurs and other non-com-
batant forces necessary to an army,
but extends the scope of the reserve
system to include civilian aviatOrs,
ordnance engineers, workers in muni-
tions plants, telephone and telegraph
operators and mechanics, civil engin-
eers, electrical engineers, and mem
bers of every other civil profession
or occupation whose services would
be useful to the army in war.
Reservists of this character would
be liable for assignment to duty by

Syracuse, N. Y, March In key
note speech and platform, democrats
of New York state assembled in con-

tration of President Wilson and took
steps to bring about his reelection.
Harmony marked the conventions de-

adopted unanimously.
The four delegates at large to the

of the party voters at the spring prl-

mated with the understanding that
they are to work for second term

Glynn in Keynote.
The keynote speech, delivered by
former Governor Martin II. Glynn, as
permanent chairman, aroused much
ienthusiasm. In addition to commend
ing the actions of Mr.. Wilson, it re-
piled directly to the criticisms OF the
president and his foreign policies
made by former Senator Elihu Root,
at the recent republican state conven-
ton in New York.
Taking up Mr.. Roots charges
against the present national admins
lration, Mr.. Glynn answered each
point He also took Mr.. Root 10 task
for his speeches in the United States
senate and for his acts as secretary
of the United States.
The federal reserve act, and the
Underwood tariff were approved, and
foreign affairs and preparedness were
dwelt upon by the former governor.
-Four years ago he said, this ma
ton committed its care and welfare
to the democratic party and the dem.
ocratic party has been true to it's
trust. 1t has preserved peace, observ
