URGES THAT ROADS BE
KEPT CLEAR OF SNOW

In an effort to keep all lines of sup
ply open for uninterrupted traffic dur
ing the winter months. and thus to
aid in minimizing the discomforts of
the public, an appeal is going out to
highway authorities throughout the
country where snowfall is heavy, TO
keep the roads clear OF snow.
Emphasis is placed upon the fact
that the transportation of coal and
other fuel is more important in win
ter than in summer, and that it is
equally important to keep rural mail
routes and main market roads free
from snow as it is to keep railroad
tracks clear
Officials connected with highway
work anticipate a prompt response to
this appeal. They report decided in
crease in the interest of the public
on this matter of prompt removal of
snow from highways, not only to
meet the necessity of keeping all
sources of supply and communication
in effective operation, but as a means
of protecting the public's investment
in roads.
IF there were little or no demand
for traffic during snowy weather,
highway authorities state the cost of
snow removal would be justified.
Sno" meltlHC on the rOanbe0 tends TO
soften the subgrade and loosens the
base under the wearing surface. Evi-
dences of these damages may be seen
after heavy SHOWS in the later winter
and early spring.
When snow is not removed on trunk
highways, traffic gradually breaks
its way through when thaw begins.
The traffic will create one or two sets
of ruts or tracks. The constant track
ing in the same rut produces disas-
trous results to the road surface,
making repairs difficult and expensive
1t has been found, they assert, that
a larger percentage of road repairs
are due to winter traffic than to sum-
mer traffic. This is due, they claim,
to the neglect Of highways during
snoW-time.
Highway departments. State and
county, are. therefore. being urged to
use their regular maintenance and re-
pair organizations in this very neces-
sary work.

new CAR TO BE SHOWN
AT N. Y. EXPOSITION
America Will Get First Chance to
View New Lafayette
Model

American motordom will have it's
flrst opportunity to inspect the new
Lafayette car during the week of
| the New York automobile show, jan
uary to 10.
The latest creation of D. Mccall
White. designed Of the English Daim-
Ter and Napier and of the eight -cylin-
der Cadillac will be exhibited in the
main lobby Of the Hotel Commodore
instead of at the Grand Central
Palace, where Father Knickerbocker
stages his 1920 motor revue
The apparent exclusiveness of the
Lafayette Is due to the wise and Just
practice of the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce, which bars the
doors of the New York and Chica go
shows to any car that has not been
in production for at least one year.
This edict makes imperative a pri-
vate showing Of the Lafayette. which.
six months ago, was only in the blue
print stage of development, but
winch has been translated into metal
for constant test and Improvement
during the intervening months.
The car to be placed on view will
be an experimental. hand-b built chas-
sis, fitted with a sedan body. No
prices VIII be announced during show
week.
Machinery is now being installed
in the new Lafayette plant in In
dianapolis, and the stage is being
speedily set for production early next
summer.
The destinies of the Lafayette
Motors Company will receive direct
guidance from ID. Mccall White and
+. Howard, vice president, who are
now permanently located in Indian
apolis. Charles w. Nash. president
OF the company. serves in an advisory
capacity, his interests at Kenosha
Wis, where he heads the Nash Mo
tors Company, precluding a more ac-
tive participation in the affairs Of the
indianapolis concern.

paid to the farmer and that paid by
the consumer cannot be diminished
by the improvement of highways and
use of motor trucks to bring the
farmer back to his old proximity to
the market.
There are 2.47S,552 miles of public
roads in the United States, yet. only
IL per cent of this total, of 299, / 35
miles are improved with some form of
surfacing. The roads are poorest
where good roads are needed most.
This is evidenced by the fact that
Iowa. one Of the States reputed to
have the worst roads. has more trucks
per capita than any other State in the
Union. This. together with the fact
that the foremen is the biggest user of
motor trucks, proves that he Is trying
his best to reduce the high cost Of liv-
ing, although he is severely handicap
ped by the lack of proper highway IA
cilities.
Legislation that discourAges the
farmer in his efforts, whether it be
insufficient appropriations for high
ways or any discrimination against
the motor truck is contrary to the
best interest Of the people for whom
he is the source of livelihood

URGES GOOD ROADS
T0CUT LIVING COST
Official Says They Will Make
Prices of Goods at Market
Cheaper.

"Of every dollar paid by the aver
age consumer for meat, milk, bread,
and potatoes, only AZ cents goes to
the producer says the Illinois Agri-
cultural Association in reporting the
findings of recent investigation.
The cause of this increasing diff
ference between the price to the
farmer and cost to the consumer, ac-
cording to r. Z. Fulton, vice presi-
dent of the International Motor Com
pany, manufacturers of Mack trucks.
lies chiefly in the concentration of
population in large cities and the re-
sulting segregation Of the farmer.
Mr.. Fulton suggests the improvement
of highways, which will encourage
the use of motor trucks and bring the
farmer nearer to his market, as the
only logical remedy.
Years ago" he says, when the
farmer drove to town with his load
of eggs, they cost less' than 10 cents
a dozen, and the consumer received
them fresh from the farm. Now the
growth of cities has pushed him back
many miles from the city markets,
with the result that he must ship
them to the city by rail, where they
are put in cold storage and delivered
to the consumer months later at a
price that has already passed the so
cent mark.
"Of course, monetary imitation has
had a great deal to do with the in
creased price, but there is no reason
why this difference between the price

famous men, notably former Presi-
dent Taft and Major General Leonard
Wood, haev been induced to come to
Flushing to speak on current topics!
1t has just been announced in
Young Mems Christian Association
circles that Charles Sumner Ward of
3 Ash street, Flushing, retires this
month from the service of the Inter
national Committee, after twenty-one
years as secretary of the committee
and thirty-six years as Y. M. C. A.
worker.
The reason given by Mr.. Ward for
his retirement is that his Y. M. G.. A.

national campaigns las become too
strenuous for his physical strength.

each year, selecting such as he con-
siders most important whether with
in or without the Y. M. C. A. At
present he is the director-general of
the Methodist Centenary campaign
for one hundred and five million dol
lars. The organ of the Centenary
Men and Money, says of him:
Charles Sumner Ward is perhaps
the world expert on the intensive
drive. II was he who invented it
and developed it, his theory being it
is as easy to raise a million in five
days as in five months.
Organization is the secret of Mr..
Wards success. He is not melo-
dramatic or even dramatic. Although
he values publicity, he cares nothing
for the personal spotlight. His me-
thod in preparing for a whirlwind
money campaign is to get as many
good volunteers as possible, organize
them into teams and operate the
whole big machine through an eff
cient executive committee.
