LOOK WELL TO THE
COUNTRY ROADS

Our people will be fortunate If,
in the drive after a record produc-
ton in all lines, they keep well in
mind the great Importance of good
roads. Good roads are, in fact,
one of the prime factors of sue
cess in our efforts to exceed all
former productive records.
The farmer who, after harvest
ing bumper crop, attempts to
move that crop to market over
poor roads, soon finds that he must
sacrifice large per cent. of his
profits in reaching the market with
his wares The lumberman who has
cut a choice lot Of material finds
he must give up the lions share of
his profits in gettisg his stuff to
the railroad. The same holds good
in all hnes-poor roads mean a
waste of energy; good roads, con-
servation of energy that may be
proftably employed in more pro-
duction.
The temptation for slackness in
this ERECTION grows greater all the
time. Thousands of our workers
have gone to the army; other thou
sands have been drafted to take
their places in the industries. La
Dor in all lines is at a premium.
The people of this country, how
ever, have never known the mean
ing Of the words "defeat" and
failure" They must not learn
at this late day. A determination
on our part that the industrial life
of the country MUST NOT and
SHALL NOT deteriorate will work
wonders. Hitherto only a very
small per cent. of the national en-
ergy has been depoted to the stern
er question of making a living. We
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-01-08

have had abundant time for all the
varied interests Of life. Now, how
ever, some Of those interests must
take second place. The demands
upon our time and energy are such
that more and more we must cut out
the frivolous and devote ourselves
to the serious phases Of life. \
We can find the time and the
means an the labor to keep our
roads up to the standard of eflic-
iency. We MUST, if a large part
of our energy is not to be wasted.

Poets Names.

If it be true that words create for
themselves a special atmosphere, and
that their mere sound calls up vague
outer things beyond their strict mean
ing, so 1t is true that the names of
the great poets by their mere sound,
by something more than the recollec-
ton of their work, produce an atmos-
phere corresponding to the quality of
each.

Germans Resist Stubbornly.

Paris. Aug. 5.-French detach-
ments which crossed the Vesle are
meeting with resistance from the
Germans, says the official statement
from the war office today. 1t is de-
clared there is nothing of importance
to report from the battle front.
There was q lull in the battle along
the Soissons- Rheims front last night
and the breathing spell extended into
this morning. The Germans are be-
ing favored by the weather conditions
which have transformed the Vesle
river banks into swamps and morass-
es and they are making stiffer
stand here than was anticipated.
