LOADS AT END OF GOOD ROAD
Double Amount of Team Power Re-
quired to Haul Wagons Over Un-
improved Country Highway.

To see what happens at the end of
the good road, public road specialist
Of the department Of agriculture re-
Gently had observations made in differ
ent sections Of the country. Observers
noted many country-bouud teamsters
who drove two loaded wagons, hitched
one behind the other, to the end Of the
good road, where they left one wagon
by the roadside to be returned for
later while all the power of their teams
was devoted to, hauling single wagon
over the unimproved highway.
Farmers bound for market frequent
ly were seen to haul wood and similar
products to the beginning of the good
road, there dumping them and return
ing for a second load. When this ar
rived, the two loads were consolidated
and easily hauled by single team the
remaining distance to market over the
improved road.

ECONOMY IN GOOD HIGHWAYS
Good Demonstration Made by Motor
truck Firm in Practical Test
Quite Recently.

At it's meeting in Chicago the
United States Chamber of Commerce
adopted resolution that the govern
1nent, through the president and the
director general of railroads, be peti-
toned, among other things, to com
plete trunk highways for heavy trailc
where they can be used in relieving
railroad congestion" Note the phrase
"heavy traffic"-which calls, not mere
ly for graded highway rights OF way,
but for hard surface, cement, asphalt
or brick roadbeds capable of sustain
ing the heaviest trucks and dependable
in all sorts Of weather.
The day is coming-ln fact, 1t is
here-when such highways are almost
on absolute necessity. In some Sec
tions of the country, due to railroad
inadequacy to meet the traffic de-
mands, paved cross-country highways
are Indispensable to commerce ana
community prosperity.
So, while we are building roads let
us build them, not for today, but for
the days to come, says Atlanta Con-
stitution. 1t will be cheaper in the
long run, and vastly more satisfac-
tory from the "word sgo.'"
The dollars-and-cents saving, and
the time economy, in hard surface
roads were clearly demonstrated by
q Northern motortruck firm in n
practical test completed some time ago
when consignment of heavy mer-
chandise was moved overland from
Detroit, Mich, to Toledo, o.
"The total pay load carried by a
four-ton tractor truck and two trail
ers was u tons," says Automobile
Topics in discussing the trip. "The
load was distributed as follows: Two
tons on the truck, six tons on a five
ton trailer and four tons on three
Ton trailer. The trip was made in
eight and half hours over 4S miles
Of cement and asphalt and u miles Of
dirt road. Almost exactly as much
time was required to travel over the
dirt road as over the cement, because

there was no foundation to the road
and both the trailer and trucks
sank. Three fourths of gallon of
oil and % gallons of gasoline were
used on the trip"
The real pith of the argument lies
in the fact that almost as much time
and, of course, more oil and gas
was consumed in travelling u miles Of
eirt road as was required to make
the 4S miles over the hard-surface
highway.
And again: Consider the differ
ence in value of the respective types
of road to the abutting property and
to the county and the state containing
them.

BOY BABY BORN IN DEPOT
Station Attendants Suggest "GateWay

at st. Louis.

st. Louis.-Baby Griggs, a bouncing
ten-pound boy who has not yet been
given his first name, will enjoy a dis
tinction that few babies fall heir to
that Of being born in the third largest
union railway station in the United
States.
The event occurred while his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Griggs, were
passing through Kansas City from APP
pleton City, Mo-, en- route to their
home in Marceline, Mo. Mrs. Ruth
Griggs, mother of the child, was taken
to the hospital room in the Union sta
ton, assisted by Matron Mundy, Maid
Cecilia Clark and DR.. d. 3. Robinson,
the station physician.
The station officials could not bear
to see Baby Griggs leave them with
out being christened some sort of
name, so heads were put together and
at last suitable name was found. TO
employees of the station Baby Grlggs
always will be known as Gateway
Griggs.
