FAITH in GOOD ROADS
Country Spending $780, 900, 600
Yearly on improvements.
Ratio Expected to Be Double That
Amount in Next Decade-Govern-
ment Won't Aid Community
That Doesn't Help Itself.

The country is now spending we'll
toward $2OOO00,0O0 year on rural
roads-perh.p twice what it was
spending, for that purpose ten years
ago. Faith in good roads probably
increased during the decade in an
even greater ratio, and it will be sur
prising il the expenditure ten years
hence is not double $2O0,O00,OO0.
This is mainly, Of course, an effect
of the motor car; but a lot of people
misjudge the motor car because they
forgotten do not knOW-that in all
the more prosperous rural regions a
gasoline vehicle nowadays is just
about as standard an implement as a
moving machine. The day has long
gone by when good roads agitation
could be discrcdited by ascribing it to
bloated urban plutocrats who wanted
to ride comfortably.
BY an act that became law last
month the federal government pur.
poses to contribute $75,OOO,00O for
good country roads used by the postal
service, sharing the expense equally
with the states or other local units.
The work is to be done on specifica-
tons approved by the department of
agriculture, duly inspected and ap'
proved.
The federal government ought to
contribute, for highways are a legiti-
mate national interest. Under this
law it helps no community that does
not first help itself. Its participation
will tend powerfully to standardize
road building and to distribute the re-
suits of experience; so it should tend
to give better quality of road for no
greater cost.
Twenty-Five years ago any given So
called public highway was usually the
exclusive affair of a board Of super
viSors or commissioners who ruled
Tor year over a territory three or
four miles square. Presently the coun-
ties came in; then the states now the
federal government-Whic Is as it
should be.-Saturday Evening Post.

WHlTEWASH or HIGH VALUE
Government Standard Is Very White
and Will Last Well When Used
on Outside Jobs.

Following is the well-known stand
ard recipe for "Government White
wash" Stake one-half bushel fresh

pounds Of fine salt, previously dis
solved in warm water; three p,nnds
Of ground rice, boiled to thin paste
and stirced in, boiling hot; one-half

Derwent Wood. British painter

wide attention bv his remarkable
success in artifcially restoring fea-
