ROAD
BUILDING
BENEFITS OF COUNTRY ROADS
Among Other Things They Cheaper
Cost of Transportation of Farm
Products to Market.

Good roads promote self-respect in
community. They make possible
social intercourse. They bring the
benefits of churches and schools with
in the reach Of all. They help to keep
the boys on the farm. They cheaper
the cost of transportation of farm
products to the markets and thus add
to the farm profits. They add to the
value of farm lands much more than
they cost. They mark the degree Of
civilization Of the rural community.
This in short, is the value of good
roads as seen by the extension service
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture.
The building of good roads is of the
greatest Importance, to a community.

BIRD SAVED LOST BATTALION
son" Has Been Cited for the
D. S. C..

The carrier pigeon that saved the
'Iost Battalion was visitor here the
other day with the third assistant sec
rotary of war;
This winged messenger, named Pres
ident Wilson, Is the sole survivor Of
a basket of signal corps pigeons that
attempted to carry messages from the
''Lest Battalion" to headquarters. For
this service the war department has
cited it for the Distinguished Service
cross. In action it had it's left leg
shot away.
The official citation of President Will
son follows:
During the operations of the tanks
in the st. Mihiel offensive one big
blue bird, known to his trainer as
President Wilson, working from the
tanks, carried messages Of Importance
with such rapidity of flight as to call
forth concentrations from the signal
officer of the first corps. Transferred
to the Meuse-Argonne sector, with sta
ton at Cuisy, President Wilson again
proved his mettle. 1t was on the
morning Of November 5, the big blue,
with his leg shot off, arrived at his
loft. His flight, the second on this
front, was made in Fl minutes, over
a distance Of 20 kilometers. Particu-
larly creditable was the performance Of
President Wilson because of the fact
that he hOmed in heavy rain and fog.
A powerful bird, Of wonderful vitality,
the big blue recovered quickly, and to-
day graces the Hall of Honor Of the
American pigeon service. President
Wilson is officially designated as y. S.

What are the things to be considered
in locating the road? What "grade"
should be- maintained? How should
the road be drained? What are the
laws governing highway construction?
There are a few questions answered
in extension circular 68 dealing with
country roads.
Matters of prime consideration in
locating a road are: Easy grades,
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directneSs and the number of farms to
be served for a given length of road.
location should not be rejected merely
because certain roadway has been in
use for some time. If the location of
a used road is bad it should be
changed if possible. In relocating roads
avoid railroad crossings at grades.
The grade Of the road is important
for on this depends the weight of the
load which can be hauled economically.
By grade is meant the rise or fall in
feet for each 100 feet in horizontal
length of road, usually expressed in
percentage. A per sent grade means
that the road rises or falls 5 feet each
100 feet along it's center line. It has
been calculated that on a smooth coun-
try road the load that one horse could
pull on level would require two on
per cent grade, three on 10 per cent
grade and four on Is per cent grade.
Engineers usually figure per cent
grade as a maximum.
Road work in Missouri has not been
as we'll managed as other public work.
Projects have been too narrowly linn
tied to localities, resulting in frag-
mentary effort. Skilled locating and
supervision of construction have been
generally lacking. The remedies are:
First, wider cooperation and the
adoption of broad schemes of improve
ment, preferably with units no smaller
than counties. Second, the absolute
elimination of political considerations
in the spending of money. Third, Sc
curing good engineering advice in the
preparation of plans and requiring
careful engineering supervision of con-

ENGLAND SPENDS so MlLLICN
tributed for Reconstruction OF
Roads and Bridges.

Grants amounting to $5O,OOOOO0 will
be distributed by the British road
board for the reconstruction Of roads
and bridges in England in 1919. De
modified army units will be used to
do the labor. Local highway authOri-
ties will be required to match this
appropriation by at least as large a
program of road work as they carried
out in the year before the war. Area
taken into consideration, England's
program is thus far in excess Of that
of the United States, including both
federal aid and state funds.
