NEEDS GOOD ROADS
Motor Has Extended His Sphere Of
Operation Until 100 Miles Doesn't
Worry Him.

There is a, reason for American
hardness in road building. We need
not be utterly downcast when we hear
our highways u%nfavorably compared
with the fine, smooth roads of Europe.
We must remember that European
highways were hundreds of years in
the making and In periods when roads
were the sole means Of transportation.
both civil and military. There were
no railroads, no electric lines, no wire
communication. Road building was
the essence of commercial life. and
communication.
America started almost with the
railroad and the steamboat. Compar-
atively a few years later we had the
telegraph. Our roads were neglected
because they were only local in char
acter. Our railroads and telegraph
enabled US to leap the centuries. But
now we are confronted by a new need.
It Is the need for better local trans
portation, says Chicago Tribune.
Where formerly the farmer was con-
tent with q few miles Of dirt roads for
his local traffic, he now requires hum
dreds Of miles, for his area has ex.
banded with the advent Of gasoline.
A few years back there was the
protest that good roads was merely
the argument of the automobilist, a
species restricted chiefly to metropol-
itan districts. A part Of that argu-
ment still obtains-that good roads
is the demand Of the automobiles;
but the ~autonnobilist Is the farmer.
The motor has extended his sphere Of
operation until 100 miles is Of no more
concern to him than was ten before.

FOR GOOD SPRING H W
One Big Item In Preparedness Pro
gram 10 to Clean Outside bitches
During Autumn.

Winter ~weathering may be great for
the farmers fields, but It's hard on
the road.
The best way to prevent extreme
weathering Of the road Is to clean out
the side bitches before freezing wealth
err sets in and to keep the road sur
face in condition SO that 1t will freeze
up in a well-dragged condition.
Cleaning the side bitches will allow
the water to run OF and. avoid the
possibility Of the road freezing IN u
saturated condition. Dragging the
road to a smooth surface will elm.
mate possible water pockets and al
low the water to escape In the eide
bitches.

"The Thirteenth Com
mandment" is an American
story written by an Ameri-.
can for Americans. It is,
according to a famous Eng
Iish critic, "American to the
bone and to the marrow of
the bone" It deals with
that eternal conflict be-
tween finance and romance.
It tells the story Of what one
Iovab|e, modern American
girl did when she discovered
how often the checkbook's
groan browns the love song.
In this story Rupert Hughes
is at his best, and that best
cannot be surpassed by any
American author of the
present day. II, you start
"The Thirteenth Command
ment" you will finish it, and
when you have finished it
you will be glad that you
started it.

CHAPTER II.

The night train from New York had
deposited Clay Wimburn in the grimy
cavern of the station at an early hour.
He had dawdled over his breakfast,
feeling lost without his New York
morning papers. p.
When at last it grew late enough to
telephone for an appointment with the
gusted to learn that the wretch would
not be visible till the next day.
It was then that Bayard Kip's part
ing behest to call up his sister re-
Cured to Wimburn. He planned to
compose a formal note of self-intro-
duction, but Bayard had forgotten to
tell him his sisters name or his IA
theirs initials. There were several
Kips in the telephone book, and lie
could not tell which would be which.
He decided to call up each number
and ask a maid or somebody If MI.
Bayard Kip's people lived there.
The very first number he called
brought Daphne herself suddenly
voice to voice with him. Voices are
characters, and it was a case of love
at first hearing with him. She had
him smiling and cooling at the second
phrase. He felt that she was going to
make his stay in Cleveland pleasant.
He formed all sorts of pictures of
her while he waited on the hotel steps,
but when she stepped out Of her al
and looked about she was none of the
Misses Kip he had planned. She was
a round, pretty little thing, amiable
Of eye and humorous about the lips,
and cunningly dressed. She looked
as if she would be a plucky, tireless
sportswoman; yet she had a wistful,
tender h%uggableness that a girl ought
not to lose, however we'll she plays
tennis.
"Is this Mr." she began. He was
too nervous to notice her pause.
He retorted, "Is this Miss Kip?"
He noted that she shook hands we'll,
with a boyish clench accompanied by
an odd little duck of the head.
mighty nice of you to take me off
this desert island" he beamed.
mighty glad tO"haVe the privilege"
she said as she verified the fraternity
pin on his overcoat. Mother is dy-
ing to hear how Bayard is"
Mothers have little power left as
guardians, but the children find that
the title has a certain value at times
in keeping order.
"Won't you get in?" said Daphne,
pointing to her car. She made him
crowd in first, then followed and
closed the door and pulled the throttle.
He meditated aloud: "How wonder
full it really is that you should talk to
me over the telephone and invite me
to your home and come and get me
like this"
"What's so wonderful about that?"
said Daphne. Everybody does it."
Everything that everybody does is
wonderful" said Wimburn. but how
especially wonderful it is to live in a
city where there are no walls about
the gardens. Look! there aren't even
fences. The lawns are all joined to-
