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 eonstruction7 There are few questions answered in extension circular 68 dealing with country roads. l ... =
 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 8 given length of road. Whenever possible to avoid it, good 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 1t 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 cent 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 a 5 per cent grade three on a 10 per cent grade and four on 15 per cent grade. Engineers usually figure a 6 per cent grade as a maximum. E..
 Road work in. Missouri has not been as we'll managed as other public work. Projects have been too narrowly nm- ited to localities, resulting in frag- mentary effort. Skilled locating and supervision of construction have been generally lacking. The remedies are: First, a 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, se- curing good engineering advice in the preparation of plans and requiring careful engineering supervision of con- struction. --..%- ,ss..4- n~r

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

Good roads promote self-respect fin 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 cheapen 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 8 community. What kind of 8 road should be built? Of what should 1t be constructed?

The British postal censor is soon go- ing the way of the telegraph and cable eensorship-out.A Judging from criti- cisms in Americas, such as that of the Merchants association to the postmas- ter general, the going of this war in- 4stitution will De- just as joyously wei comed abroad as in England. But whatever the petulance of those who think war restrictions have held over too long, the postal censor, in the opfn- ion of those who have watched his work from the viewpoint of British and allied security throughout the war, has been of the greatest service in defeating Germany.
 The nearness of the date of the de- mise of this institution has called forth considerable information about its work. Thus far, however, there has been no amusing side such as was shown during the ohsequies for the cable censorship. -.s.-..-,

After the inspection he made a speech from his metorcar, concluding with a quo tation from the Bible: "And may the Lord of Hosts be with syou." Corre- sponderlts who sent their dispatches first to the censor were surprised to find the final words of the secretary running in this fashion: "And may ------.

Grants amounting to $50. 900, 900 will be distributed by the British road board for the reconstruction of roads and bridges in England in 1919. De mobilized 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.
