Aid OF U. S. In Fight
Against BOIShepiki

Of 1917, Colonel Lebdeff went back to
Russia and was invited to enter Prince
Lvoff's cabinet as secretary OF the
navy.
Upon entering this Office, Colonel
Lebedeff undertook strict measures
for establishing discipline in the Rus
sian fleet. During the Bolshevist re-
volt in July, 1917, Colonel I.ebedeff
was at the head of the forces which
suppressed this revolt. Shortly after
that, Colonel Lebedeff left the cabinet
because the Provisional Government
would not consent to his program of
immediate strict measures against
Bolsheyism. After leaving the cabinet
Colonel Lebedeff cooperated with the
Grandmother of the Russian Revc-
luton" Catherine Breshkovskaya, in
editing a revolutionary and patriotic
daily, the VOLTA Naroda.
In June of 1918 the Colonel entered
the new ministry, which was organ
ICED on the Volga by the Committee
OF the Constituent Assembly. 1t was as
member of this ministry that he or
ganized the attachments known as the
Army of the Russian People, which
have made such a notable stand
against the Bolshevist elements. Act
ing in cooperation with the Czecho-
Slovaks, the attachments of the Army
of the Russian People took Syrian.

Volga cities. In Kazan the forces un.

Of the gold reserve of the old Russian
empire. This vast sum had been in
the possession vi the Bolsheviki, and
part of this gold would have been
transferred to Germany in accordance
with the supplements to the Brest'
Litvosk treaty. At the same time

he and his forces struggled against

compelled to retreat before the Boil

Colonel Lebdeff, in speaking of his
experiences today, dwelt at length
upon the unity in Russia of the forces

definite shape in the month OF April of
this year. II was started by the
workmen of Petrograd, drawing some

PAYING FOR GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Have Always Been
Necessary Adjunct to State,
Community and Individual.

Good highways are and have always
been necessary adjunct to the well
fare of the state, community and indi-
vidual. The argument, "Good roads
cost lots of money" may in reality be
true when figured in dollars and miles,
but is incorrect when considered in
reality. Good roads must be paid for,
but they are paid for whether they are
built or not. The wear and breakage
on teams, harness and vehicles, and
the increased cost of hauling on poor
roads is costing the grower far more
than the price of building and keeping
in repair the very best roads. He is
actually paying for the roads without
getting them; and, besides, is put to
much Inconvenience and worry.
In short, good roads cost nothing.

tenn of roads their value will depre-
ciate under ordinary circumstances
| faster than new roads can be con-
structed. 1t is therefore essential that
| after 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 surfae-
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 a
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 waysAnd
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 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
