Good Roads Save Money

The improved roads Of Milwau-
kee County, Wis, save $4,000 @
day to the people who use them.
This is the estimate the county
commissioner of highways, as re-
ported to the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The statistics
are based on a census of the traffic
taken periodically during the past
four years The census is made by
selecting So points scattered
throughout the county. and making
seven counts at each point. one for
every day of the week. The count
is not made on consecutive days.
but at various periods from April
to November, so as to arrive at
average conditions This census is
taken to determine the durability
of certain types of pavement. &C
cording 10 the amount of traffic a
square yard. 1t shows that about
$4,000 vehicles of all kinds travel
the highways each day, Traffic on
the road has increased about AZ
per cent a year during the four
years in which the survey has been
made.

trench system AT the time when
the British staff determined TO re.
duce the salient, the Daily Chronicle
tells us the Germans were expect
ing an ordinary attack with its
preliminary bombardment They
promptly fell into the trap set
for them.
Early in the morning a British
aeroplane flew very low over the
front line trenches and passed
parallel to the German line. but five
or six hundred wards behind it
The Germans thought the plane a
target that could not be missed. and
turned their backs to the British
trenches to fire on the machine.
While they were engaging the aero
plane. the British Infantry suddenly
went over the top and in a few
minutes captured the position and
took a number of prisoners.
The machine returned to its aero
drome riddled with bullet holes,
but both the pilot and the observer
were uninjured.

miles this spring in my tin car; the
rain, in SO styles, came down. from

floundered in the mud. and there

when Id have roared and paved
around and wept. and torn my sor-
rel beard, while watch and ward
kept. But years have made me
wise: | know that patience wins,
and forty thousand signs aren't
worth brace of grins. And so
waited there and whistled half a
day; then saw granger fare with
horses down that way. He hauled
me from the mire and only asked a
buck, and I tuned up my Tyre and
blessed my good luck. The mud.

No Airplanes Burned
No American airplanes we're bul

No American airplanes were burn
ed in a bonfire in France or any
where else, General NJ M, Patrick,
former OF the aviation section of the
A. E. F told a House sub. commit.
tee which is investigating aircraft
production.
The report of the destruction Of a
million dollars worth of airplanes
in France, il was explained, proba-
bly, had its origin in the burning of
scrapped material near the head
quarters of the American Expedi-
tiOnary Force. After the signing OF
the Armistice. General Patrick nam
ed a board of survey and every air
plane in the A. E. f. was carefully
inspected. Those that could be of
use in the United States were
Grated and sent home. Those that
could not be so disposed of with
proper economy, but which could be
repaired and used. were sold to the
allies. The remainder we're salvag-
ed and every part that would bring
a penny was sold or saved, General
Patrick declared. In this work of
sslvsging, there was collected a
large quantity of worthless wooden
parts which were used for fuel or
destroyed.
That any airplanes were burned
up needlesSly or wsstefully is abso-
lutely incorrect" General Patrick
emphatically declared.
High tribute TO the value of the
Liberty motor was paid BY General
Patrick. who said that in his opin-
ion il was "a wonderful motor and
probably the greatest contribution
to aviation during the war"

Who is Opposing Good Roads?

For the main part those opposing good roads
live in the town of Paris and the organized oppos
ton centers there, Not all of it. understand-there
are men honestly and sincerely opposed to the
proposition fearful of all public expenditure-but
active opposition comes from men of wealth. AS
rule they have ample means, and simply do not
want to pay the small extra taxes that would follow.
They have made their money, retired, and want
every dollar of it to count for themselves-and for
themselves only. They have opposed every pro-
gressive, forward-looking proposition advanced in
Monroe County in the last twenty-five years. Paris
itself would have been without single modern
convenience if it had listened to them. 1t would
have had no water, no lights no public library, no
churches school worth the name nothing that
makes town fit place for home-none of the
things which have attracted SO many of them to it
Most of them have left the farm, living in COM
fort and amid conveniences, and have sel6shly
ceased to for the farmer or his interest They
have gone SO far to declare publicly that
without fortune at his command should be
allowed to vote. They would disfranchise the
small farmer and the poor man.
