ROAD :
BUILDING
MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROADS
Farmers Urged to Vote Against Bonds
or Taxes Whenever Plans Do
Not Provide for up-keep.

The progressive farmer believes in
good roads, as everybody knows. No
body needs good roads more than the
farmer and his family. Good roads
increase profits and enrich social life.
Poor roads cost more than good ones.
At the same time, we have reached
the conclusion that it is our patriotic
duty to advise our readers to vote
against road bonds or road taxes
whenever the plans for building the
roads do not include proper provision
for maintaining them after they are
built. 1t is Just az foolish to spend
money to build road. without at the
same time providing for funds TO keep
1t up, as 1t would be to spend money
to get horse without providing feed
for him after he is bought. The South
has wasted millions and millions by
building roads without keeping them
up. and it is high time to stop vast
ing the peoples tax money in this
fashion. We must aim not merely to
get good roads but to keep good roads.
Another important matter Is that
Of having all road expenditures made
under expert supervision. Secretary
OF Agriculture Houston says: The
nation today is spending annually the
equivalent OF more than $200,000,000
for roads. Much OF this is directed by
local supervisors and 1t is estimated
by experts that of the amount so di.
rected anywhere from 80 to 40 pei
cent is, relatively speaking, wasted
or misdirected." Every state should
have a state highway commission, and
the people should not vote money for
any expensive scheme of country road
improvement until it has been ap-
proved by experts.
The third matter we wish TO en-
phasize is the importance of the road
drag. AS we have said before, the
drag is undoubtedly the cheapest good
roads maker ever invented, and II
some commercial company had pat.
ented it and sold 1t at five times its
cost, every county in the South would
be using it. 1t is so simple and cheap
that people will not realize what O
wonder-worker it is. The time TO pre-
vent next winters bad roads Is now,
and the way to prevent them is to
make plans to have the roads dragged
Every farmer interested ought to see
his county road authorities and demand
action. Send to the United States
department OF agriculture, Washing
ton, D. c., for free copy of Farmers
Bulletin SGT, "The Road Drag and
How to Use It," and keep Fostering
your fellow citizens until your county
gets the dragging habit.

business for you to intrust II to

KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take Glass of Salts to Clean Kid
neys If Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other. says well known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twingee, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness. bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or If bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush ciogged I'D
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine SO it no longer irritates. thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now ard then to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus
avoiding serious kidney disease.--Adv.

SPITBALL HAS PASSED

Spitball pitching seems to be
going out. There are now very
few successful hurlers who use
the moist delivery, and even
those who cling to it do not de-
pend upon it as they once did.
A few years ago spitballers
were all the rage, and no team
was complete without one, but
there are now few pitchers of
class who use the saliva ball to
any extent.
The main reason for this is
that the constant use of the
spitball has proved to be disas-
trous, in many cases, to the
pitching arm of the man using
it. To control the splitter re-
quires a great strain on certain
muscles of the forearm, and
very few steady users Of it have
lasted long.
