ALL STATES SHARING
IN FEDERAL ROAD AID

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-All the
States of the Union have availed
themselves of the opportunity of par
ticipating in the benefits Of the Fed
eral Aid Road Act, which appropriat-
ed rs million dollars for the con-
struction of post roads and 10 million
dollars for forest roads, according
to the report of the Director of the
Office of Public Roads and Rural En-
gineering, United States Department
of Agriculture. That the passage of
the act has stimulated road building
is shown by the fact that in 1916,
there were approximately Al millions
'ollars OF State funds expended for
all highway purposes and it is esti-
mated that in the calendar year 1917
the aggregate expenditures of state
funds for this purpose will be at least
60 millions A number of the States
have made specific appropriations tC
meet Federal aid dollar for dollar
Among these are New York, Illinois
Michigan, Rhode Island, Nevada
Iowa, Florida and Vermont.

campaign three years ago aad f. l..
Wright, a new assistant Of Mr.. En-
berson, proved themselves very in
teresting and efficient. They pointed
out how easily the club work could
be done, what valuable training 1t
gives, and also the possibilities Of
large return in money for ones eff
forts.
80 teachers and schools out Of Sc,
that were expected to meet with us.
Is that good patriotism? What will
the boys in the trenches think of us
if we do no better than that? Can
we hope to win the war or anything
else by so doing? Miss Root said that
at their meetings in Macon county
when the weather was worse than
ours they had 100, $50, $50, 45O or
more than 100 at each meeting. One
teacher drove 1S miles and brought
her pupils. At each place seven or
eight schools were present. Are we
going to let Macon and other coun-
ties which had similar good meetings
beat us in that way? Will we let them
call us slackers
Why not make it unanimous? Let
each teacher write at once to Mr..
Emerson for the blanks and organ
ize one or more clubs at once. Let US
not stop until every boy and every
II Il the county is in one or more
clubs. Let US wake up to the serious
ness of the situation as we'll as the
advantages and profits of the club
work
