NATIONWIDE BOOST is SEEN
al States of Union Have Availed
Themselves OF Opportunity Of
fercd by Government.

G'1cpcred by the United States Depart
rncnt of Agriculture)
That the better roads movement Is
receiving q nationwide boost is shown
By the fact that all the states Of the
Union have awaited themselves Of the
opportunity of participating in the
benefits of the federal aid road act,
which appropriated $75,OC0,000 for the
construction of post reads and $10,-
000,0C0 for forest roads, according to
the report of the director of the office
of public roads and rural engineering,
United States department of agricul-
ture. THAT the passage of the act has
stimulated road building is shown by
the fact that in 1916, there were ap-
proxilnateIy $1t,O00000 of state funds
expended for :;ll highway purposes,
and it is estimated that in thu calendar
year 1917, the aggregate expenditures
of state funds for this purpose will be
at least $GO,0O0000. A number of the

Great Numbers of Men.

Two conditions Of civic life en-
phasize the necessity for good roads.
One is war. The Roman roads were
built because Rome had vast armies
10 move. The present European war
hos kept thousands upon thousands
of men busy in eastern Prussia and
western Poland building roads in ter
ritories where before there were only
Swampy trails. Many of the roads in
sse9gium and northern France were
built during previous wars, when vast
armies tnlst be moved quickly, so that
the present Tyar has found in roads and

armies az Dever before, Good high
