CONCRETE ROAD GREAT HELP
Farmer Enabled to Double Size OF
Load to Market and Reduces
Strain on Horses.

No extensive road improvement In
any community can be carried on with
out more money than can usually be
raised by direct taxation extending
through short term. 1t is unjust to
expect the taxpayers Of today to as
sumo the total cost Of an Improvement
which is to last into the next genera
ton, SO bonds are usually Issued TO
finance the building Of roads that Will
permanently cut down maintenance ex-
pense and reduce hauling costs. These
bonds are sold and thus converted In
to money. Interest on the bonds Is
paid and the bonds retired by funds
obtained from current road taxes.
When the bonds have been paid the
community still has its concrete roads
in excellent condition.
No community can afford to spend
its money with less caution than pri.
vate individual would display. The
community should do likewise. When
you are asked to vote for bond issue
to build concrete roads you are not
raising public money to spend it, but to
invest 1t. AS concrete road mileage
in community is increased, the bur-
den of road maintenance decreases,
and the saving thus resulting will not
only pay interest on the bonds, but
provide funds to retire them as they
fall due. In this way borrowing Is
made profitable.
Touring possibilities at all seasons
of the year and every day in the year
go hand-in-hand with the concrete
road. Safety first" Is realized as the
result of the non-skid surface. Con-
crete boulevurds through the open

Cuperior type OF ConSrete hoao.
country make riding pleasurable by do
Ing away with the JAR, dust in dry
weather and mud In wet weather. A
smooth surface makes steering easy,
reduces tire cost, lessons fuel con-
sumption. These are some of the ways
In which concrete road benefits the
motorist.
Reduced to simple terms, concrete
road helps the farmer haul two loads
at one trip instead of one load at two
trips; or, 1t doubles the size of the
load and cuts In twolthe tractive pow
er necessary to transport farm pro-
duce. With less capital tied up in
horses there is more cash to put into
equipment to produce more cash. The
concrete road reduces the strain on
horses and lengthens their lives. 1t
reduces wear on wagons and harness.
Where motortrucks are used 1t les
sens tire and fuel expense. 1t puts the
farmer in state Of preparedness to
reach markets quicklytwhen prices are
best, and he can take his profits and
get home with more cash than he could
by slow hauling on a bad road. 1t
adds to the acreage value of farm
because 1t Increases its earning posi-
bilities. A concrete road makes all of
these advantages permanent bringing
Its toll of profit to the farmer daily
in the form Of time, money and effort
saved.

STOCK MARKET firm
With slight GAINS
Tobacco Products Active in Antici-
patton of Federal Action.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York. April 4-Stocks were
strong In Wall Street today closing
With some material net gains. but the
big news Of the day was not reflected
in figures. Announcements OF te-
mendous importance are expected in
the near future regarding the rail-
roads and there will also be develop
ments favorable to public service cor
porations and tobacco companies.
Petroleum companies will also get
consideration that should mean much
for stockholders.
Money rates are holding the market
back for brokers hesitate to let their
sudden advance in the call rate
frighten them out Of the market
again.
OF the active stocks today. Con-
solidated Gas, American Sumatra.
Tobacco Products, Atlantic Gulf ana
West Indies. Mexican Petroleum. Dis
tillers, Leather and Interboro Metro.
politan Consolidated attracted most
attention. Sumatra made a new
higher record for all time. Others TO
show vitality were Baldwin, Ameri-
can Locomotive. Lead and Corn
Products.
Strength Of Tobacco was due to the
disclosure of the great amount being
taken by the government for the
Army and Navy. There is to be an
important advance in the prices of all
tobacco products in the near future.
The big feature of the railroad
situation so far as the stock market
Is concerned Is the fact that 1t will
be impossible ever to restore the rail-
roads to the competitive conditions
they occupied before being taken over
by the government. 1t will be impos-
slble to do anything else than con-
tinue government management after
the war and that must mean either
government ownership or a continual
ton of guaranteed dividends. Thus
the stock market has an underlying
strength that will sustain it to a far
greater degree than any short interest
that ever existed. This is the true
secret of the firmness OF the market
during the greatest battle of all
times.
