In the effort to stimulate good road

not be overlooked that the first
stretch of road that needs attention
is the road from the farm gate to the

nation might be stuck in the mud

one of these highways.
He cannot get any larger load to
the great state or national highway
than he can get past the first mud
hole between his farm gate and thai

stronger than it's weakest link and
that is the link from the farm gate

THE NATIONAL GAME

"A Baseball Poem" styled by its
Author The National Game" was r.
Gently received in letter from class
Private G. w. Adams attached to the
Medical Supply Depot, AZ, Division, OF
the Al. E. f. 1t was written by Byron
Beardsley. @. NJ. G.
The Huns had not been challenged nor
scheduled to appear
But the game began four years ago on
the German Beige frontier;
The Allied team was crippled but had
no time to stall,
For the voice of. Domination had plain
~ cried "Play Ball"
In the early innings of the game the
Germans took the lead,
Their forty years of practice had de-
veloped lots of speed;
The Allied southpow, Belgium was
pitching clever ball
But his comrades and his captain con-
sidered him to small.
So rather than loose the game by TAX
ing such a chance.
They shifted him to second and SUBJ
stituted France.
The Germans thought the time was
ripe to carry out their mission
And figured they could win the game
thru Frances poor condition.
A "Boche" came up and toed the plate
and trippled over Arras
He decided he could stretch the bit and
slide right into Paris;
But the ball was neatly handled by
fielders that were clever
And in the famous battle of the Marine
he was tagged by General Joffre.

mind the final connection of all the
local improved roads into a great
system. The first step is to put the
dirt road bed into permanent condi-
tion-properly graded and drained
and bridged The surfacing can then
come when it will, and be any kind
selected, and this preparatory work
will not have to be done again. The
permanent part of a road is the road
bed. The surfacing is never perma-
nent no matter what material is used,
therefore, do the first job right. as a
matter of economy. 1t is the first
step toward good roads.
! No one need argue the benefits of
the 3e5-day road. No one needs it
so much as the farmer. But he needs
it from his farm gate to the nearest
market. He needs it to the school
house. He can afford to pay his just
share of cost, and will do so without
complaint if he is sure of getting a
dollars worth of road for a dollar.

its construction, at least the method
of payment, ard the price. The tech

The lucky seventh rolled around, the
allies came TO bat,
Old Kaiser Bill was pitching and his
arm was sore at that:
Canada singled over Vimy Ridge, he
willingly paid the price,
The Edith Cavelle walked to the plate
and came thru with sacrifice.
Italy slammed an offensive which rang
with a resounding thud,
His spikes got tangled in intrigue and
he tripped and fell in the mud.
The next ball pitched was a beauty
knee high and close to the shanks
And a clever drive for single was
made by the Britisher Tanks"
The splendid Allied rally had filled
the Huns with doubt
With two men on and no one down the
