TEN Of roads their value will depre-
ciate under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads can be con-
structed. It is therefore essential that
after a road is once built, great care
should be taken in it's upkeep. There
is no question that the cost of proper
maintenance is many times saved in
the increased economic value of the
highway traffic.
Maintenance may be divided into
two general classes: First, the upkeep
of roads which have been constructed
along standard line with minimum
grades, proper drainage and surfac-
Ing material; second, the conditioning
Of roads that have had little, if any,
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not so liable to be neglected
by those entrusted with their care,
and while their maintenance problem
is very important and necessary one,
this class of roads represents only q
lesser portion. The greater percent
age Of roads in the state are not i'm
proved. Inasmuch as this class of
roads serve the majority of the people
and this kind of road will always pre-
dominate, it is very necessary that at
tention be directed to proper ways and
means of their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work is being done and the mileage of
improved roads increased, and while
this work is going on the unimproved
roads should be kept in as good condi.
ton as possible at a minimum cost.
The best results can only be OBJ.
tanned by the enthusiasm and local
pride of the man who uses the road.
He is the fellow most interested, and
small amount of intelligent atten-
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results on their particular
section of the road
This rule applied throughout the
length and breadth of any state would
mean system of earth roads that
could be pointed to with pride.

GETTING READY FOR DRIVE
Vermont Will Pledge Herself Between
June q and % to Buy $7,365, 900 of
War Savings Stamps.

the week Of June "a will tell the
story whether Vermont is to come up
TO lie expectations of the government
in loahing money through War Saw
ings Stamps for the prosecution Of the
war. The government asks $40 per
capita from Vermont, or approximat-
! ely 1886, 900, through the medium of
these stamps, to be paid for by the
people during the calendar year 1918
and to be redeemed by the government
in 1928 after interest has been COM
pounded quarterly at four per cent.
Thus far only slightly more than one
tenth of the desired amount has been
purchased. How to insure the sale of
the other nine-tenths of the sum re-
CURED of Vermont was the problem
which faced the state director and the
county managers at their recent con
ference in Montpelier.
In order to accomplish the desired
that Vermont is as ready with her
money as with her men, the conference
chose a plan which already had sue
ceeded in Nebraska and which was
being adopted by several eastern
states. That plan is to have a state
wide drive for pledges to the War
Savings Stamp campaign-pledges to
purchase certain amounts of the
stamps during the remainder Of the
calendar year. 1t is, therefore, not
necessary that the amount be loaned
at one time--it can be advanced to the
government in installments through
out the remainder of the year, but the
sooner it is advanced the greater the
returns on the investment. If the
money is not paid Immediately it per-
haps is better to follow systematic
purchase of so much each week or
each month.
This pledge campaign will be start
ed, as already said on June "a and
the returns will be tabulated on the
night of June %, date set apart by
President Wilson as War Savings day
and to be designated similarly by Gov
ernor Graham. This does not mean
that the sale of the stamps, or the
pledging, will end on June %. The
stamps Cincluding thrift stamps) will
continue to be on sale through the
year, and the cooperation of all Yer
is urged to increase Yer
mont's offering to the government
During the intensive drive it is pro-
posed to make a personal canvass in
every city and town in Vermont in
order to give everyone a chance to
pledge amounts which they themselves
will determine. The maximum amount
which the government allows to be
held by one person is 1000 maturity
value of the War Savings certificates,
and from that amount it ranges down
to single thrift stamp for which one
pays 25 cents. By means of the in
stallment payment it made easier for
the people to loan their money to the !

cation in this very essential feature
Of the governments war program it .
