GOOD ROADS RAISE PROPERTY VALUES.

Money spent in road improvement of the right kind is making a
profit OF us per en- a year in Wayne county Michigan, says the Phia-
de1pha Democrat. The county spent 100000 o n construction and main
tenance during the eight years from 1906 to 1914, inclusive, and in tms
period the assessed valuation of property in the county, outside of the
city of Detroit, increased from $67O7O0 to $114,14 S l2O, or $40 per cent
OF this increase IS per cent, o $22OOOWO, is credited to road ns-
provement, because the assessed valuation OF Detroit increased only AT
e cent. The increase in county valuation above the rate of increase i'll
the city a eleven times the csto of road work, o 1000 per cent profit
in eight years on the total investment in improved roads.
H More than IFS miles of concrete road have been put down by the
Wayne county commissioners since the county system adopted i'll
1906, and the roads built with the $2OOOO bond issue are still in good
condition and give every promise of more than OUTLYING the bonds. The
commissioners state in their ninth annual report for the year that they
never have had to take up and replace a single 25foot section since they
have been developing this type of road, although some OF the roads have
been down more than seven years.
Every mile of durable roads laid is cutting down the costo of upkeep.
Last year the commissioners had As miles more roadway to care for than
the year before, yet they spent $57S less for maintenance, notwithstand-
ing they have supervision I'VE LAS miles of other types of road, such
as macadam and gravel outside OF incorporated cities and villages.
1t is estimated that 90 per cent of the traffic in the county is carried
on 20 per cen OF the road mileage, and that concrete construction should
be continued until there are about $50 miles of such roads.
The commissioners hope to see this road system carried t o a point
where n citizen in the county will care to live more than three miles from
a good road.

THE VITAL TEST.

German officers who disobey orders are punished with ruthless
severity Neither blood o rank o influence a a " them, and Ger
mn efficiency in war is due in a large measure to this system of iron dis
cipEne, says the New York World.
If the Sussex va sunk by a German submarine, the officer in COM
mand deliberately violated orders Were those orders issued to be obeyed
Or were they issued to be disregarded? The final proof of the good faith
of the German government will be found in its attitude toward the offense
always assuming that the Sussex was the victim of a German SUBJ
marine.
If the orders issued by the German government in regard to submar-
inc warfare were intended to be obey ed, there will be drastic punishment
for this officer. If the orders wer issued merely to deceive neutrals
there will be n punishment of the guilty officer, but the usual attempt
will be made to compromise by apology and reparaton.

"ONCE OVERS"

The fellow who is always looking for mistakes IN the part of others
is suret o make glazing ones himself, and he naturally brings more censurc
upon himself because he is o critical of others.
1t seems to be a general law that the mn who is continually looking
for little slips Of the other fellow does not give full time to his own work,
with the result that he leaves more" openings" than the mar who attend,
to his own business.

1t has a boomerang effect
If you keep yourself out of wrongdoing and conduct your affairs
properly you will find that you have a job which requires all of your
thought and time.
The man who scatters his shot never gets anything worth while.
You can neve advance your own interest by drawing attention to

CURE FOR BAD TRAITS IN-BOYS.

Flower culture serves to soften dsagreeab1e traits that arr found in
many boys and does much toward stimulating higher ideals in government
and society.
That is the belief of J. Otto Thiow, expressed n a talk O Gardens"
before the farmers institute meeting in horticultural hall, held under the
auspices of the Pennsylvania Horticultural society and the Florists club
of Philadelphia.
Every family in Philadelphia" said the speaker, should have "a
small garden. If there is n room lin the front yard put it in the back yard.
1t will give the boys and girls pleasant work to perform, and in watching
the development OF flowers they will get al elevahng viewpoint of life
and become better citizens. The cost is SC triing that the poorest man
may have one.
at is not necessary to buy expensive seed, because the cultivation OF
daisies and common flowers is just as interesting and beneficial to the
mind as the growing Of selected plants 1t is certain that a boy who
watches with care a small garden will not break windows and get into
trouble. 10
