ROAD IMPROVEMENT

A road improvement, to be justfn-
able, must give reasonable promise OF
returning, In social and economic
benefits, an annual return at least
equal to the sum of the interest, de-
probation, and maintenance charges
over and above on the old road. II is
therefore plain that over-improvemen
as well as underinvestment is posi-
BILE in regard to road matters, much
the same as in ordinary business un-
dertakings. The amount which, there
fore, can be and ordinarily should be
invested in the improvement of any
given road is that sum which will
give the largest net annual returns
In social and economical benefits dur
ing the period which may be consider
ed as the most probable life of the i'm
provement.
The basic proposition upon which
our road building and maintenance
must ultimately rest is that the char
acter of the road and the amount of
money expended for its construction
and maintenance must be determined
by the service which the road renders.
For example, it may be genuine eco
nomy to allow an annual cost autlay
or charge on one road of $4,000 per
mile, and on 800 per mile on another,
because in the former case the SER
vice rendered may be twenty times
the service renrered in the latter case.
The proper and systematic classical
ton of our roads in regard to the
character and amount of the traffic
which they carry has hardly been
more than begun as yet, even in our
most progressive states. Before I'M
dertaking any general scheme of road
Improvement it is the duty of the
State, as well as local subdivisions,
to make such traffic studies as will de-
termine proper highway system, the
order in which they should be i'm
proved, and the character of construc-
ton and maintenance best adapted to
properly and most economically meet
the traffic requirements of each road

HOME is WHERE THE BOY is IN
THIS WAR
(By Bruce Barton)

(By Bruce Barton)
| visited a home where a service
flag hangs; and while we ate we talk
ed of the boy who is over there.
81 wonder if he is cold tonight" the
mother said 81 wonder if he has a
place to warm himself and dry his
clothes; and something good to eat"
What wouldn't l give to be with
him." she said and we were silent,
knowing her heart.
But l thought of the Soldiers of
Friendliness who that very night
would crawl out across No Mans
Land to take chocolate and hot COT
fee to that boy.
OF the huts with their warm fires
burning; of the great lectures and
preachers and actors and motion pic
lures that are over there.
And | thought to myself; There is
difference between this and every
other war. For when the boys have
marched away before, the influence of
their homes has stopped at the front
gate and could go no further.
But in this war it follows the flag,
across the ocean, over the shell torn
battle land, straight uD to front line
trenches.
Home is where the boy is in this
war. From every town and village
the lines Of helpfulness run out.
And no boy leaves his home behind
him: step by step it travels with him,
financed by the folks behind him-a
token of their love.

that some of the citizens have given

quite fair, when we realize that we are

due TO the Increased developments and
TO the selective draft which has great

between 200 and 500 tons daily are
only able TO produce between 400 and
500 tons in that time. II sufficient
labor could be had. Mr. Horton esti-
mates the production would easily be
q. 900. 900 tons this year. the increase
over last year being made possible by
new equipment that has been installed
in the mines
