Motor.VehicIe Revenues Devoted to

In most states the motor-vehicle
revenues are devoted to the mainte-
nance and repair Of the state roads
or other improved highways. These
states thus seem TO have solved fairly

secure sufficient funds to maintain the
more important roads under the ever

exists a possibility Of so adjusting the

Rebecca shoals light, 40 miles from

Cuban Consul Milford, who di

asked for additional instructions as

The development Of good roads In

discussed from one end Of the prov
Ince TO the other. In the FIVE years
frem 1911 to 1915 the. Qvsbec govern
menf spent s15,774.369 for good roads:
The. following figures show the num-

snatntained by the municipalities OF
Quebec, with the aid Of subsidies from
the government of the provinces: In
1907, 1000 miles; In 1869, 1000 miles;
In 1911, $500 miles; In 1913, $4,000
miles; in 1915, $1,000 miles. Since
1911 more than 1,214 miles Of mac

EARTH ROADS IN, CONDITION u !
Drainage 10 Chief Essential In Putting
Earth Roads In Proper Shape
Drag Must Be Used.

It can be truthfully said that drain
age is the chief essential in putting
earth roads into proper condition. An
old Scotchman, an expert road builder,
aptly said that the three requirements
Of good earth roads are, drainage, more
drainage, and still more drainage. e.
w. Lehmann Of the University OF Mis-
aouri college Of agriculture indorses
this sentiment and adds: Roads must
not only have good surface drainage
but must also have good underdrain-
age. Surface drainage Is secured by
proper grading, adequate side bitches,
and by keeping the crown of the road
properly dragged. Stretches Of road
that do not dry out quickly must be
underdrained by tile.
The drag must be used after each
rain, If the best results are to be Sc
cured. Don't 60 on the road while too
muddy, let 1t dry out slightly; 1t should
be wet enough, however, so 1t will not
crumble. but smear. When properly
used, the drag brings thin layer of
earth toward the center Of the road
which is rolled and packed between
wet periods. If too much crown is Sc
cured by dragging. the angle Of the
drag should be reversed. ~ =.
Getting the earth -oads graded,
d',ches open, we'll drained, and prop
erly crowned by dragging Is about all
that can be done until the people are
ready to surface the road with gravel,
broken stone or some other surfacine
material.

This is especially true in those states
which have a comparatively large
number of cars and only a small mile
age of improved roads. Thus, Illinois,
last November approved a bond Issue
Of $50, ,0o9.O00 for the construction Of q
system of state roads. The interest
and principal of these bonds are to be
paid entirely from the motor-vehicle
revenues. There is no doubt that these
revenues will prove sufficient for this
purpose. The main question which re-

be secured 30 as to prevent these

many farmers who formerly brought
produce to town to sell from house to
house have quit and take their prod
ucts elsewhere rather than put up
with conditions said to be fostered by
local merchants and commission
men, also have come TO light.
AS one instance OF the tactics
through which some Of the bigger

on their food sales through tactics
that approach extortion is cited the
case of a Whitehall farmer, who
shipped a quantity of apples within
the last two weeks to local mer-
chant who operates chain of stores.
The farmer was called up by the
| merchant, who stated the apples
were of poor quality and refused to
accept them until the initial price
agreed on had been cut third.
A few days later the farmer in
question came to Butte, visited three
of the merchants stores and bought
a sack of his own apples at each, be-
ing told in each instance by the
clerk that the fruit was ',Whitehall
apples of the finest grade,' and was

Eggs advanced in the larger stores
at the rate of cents a dozen, while
butter took similar jump. In the
smaller stores, where quantities of
such products were on hand the
prices remained stationary, but will
