GAMER BY IMPROVED ROADS
Careful Analysis Shows Greatest Gain Over Present Conditions Is
 Man on Branch Road.

The development of sentiment for issuing bonds to build permanent roads has brought to the surface many questions which require careful con- sideration and demand clearly stated and convincing replies. Of these, the one recurring most frequently is: "What advantage is there in a bond is- sue for the farmer who lives several miles from one of the improved roads?'
 At first glance 1t would seem that the man living directly upon the im- proved road obtains the greatest bene- fits, but careful analysis proves that the greatest gain over present condi- tions is the man on the side road. With the limited road and bridge funds usually available in any town ship and the necessity of keeping the main highways at least in paSsable condition, little or nothing is left for working upon the less travelled roads. AS repair expense practically ceases when permanent roads are built, the road and bridge funds formerly spent on main roads Will be released for use upon the side roads.
 In addition, money spent upon these side roads will go five times as far, or do five times as much work, as

The boys seemed proud to wear the uni form. l tell you their muscles were as hard as nails. heard Banker Haskett say that the training and discipline the boys had had was exactly what every boy ln the country ought to have, and that now these boys could get better job at higher pay than they could have had before. Do you think that's so, Uncle Dan?"
 Uncle Dan replied: q have a friend who employs hundreds of young men. He always gives boys having had military training the preference ; he says 1t pays to do so. He finds they are more alert, more prompt, more courteous; they know how to carry out orders; they are quicker to think and to act than those without training. He said from his experience he believed that six or eight months of intensive military training would add at least 20 per cent to mans

much good in so short time as few months of intensive military training. It fits a man to fight his own life bat ties in the business world as well as to defend his country and it's flag.
 "Neafy every civilized country gives it's boys military training. It is com pulsory. It is based upon the fact that it is the duty of everyone to help de- fend his country; and as war is now carried on, no one can do much unless he is trained. Also, the records show that the killed and wounded among untrained troops is nearly three times as great as it is with well-trained men who know how to fight and how to protect themselves. By this plan a nation has trained men to defend her and the individual Is stronger and better man for the training.
