The man who never gets out of
sight of the tall buildings, as well as
the man who has yet to see city sky
scraper, should be booster for better
roads. Highways are used in trans
porting practically every article of
food at some stage in its journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
We're first hauled In wagons to markets
there has been an interest in better
roads as a means of reducing the cost
of transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because of the
extensive use of motortrucks in haul,
ing products from the farm to the
railroad station or direct TO the city
markets. Trucks are not only replace
ing horse transportation but in many
cases they are supplementing and even
doing the work Of railroads. In fact,
motor trucks offer a solution of mod
ern transportation problems, but roads
built only for horse-drawn vehicles or
light automobiles will break down un-
der heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance of thousands Of miles
of roads so that the enormous govern
ment and commercial truck traffic of
the past two years could move has
taxed the abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part of
highway officials In many states off
Gals found themselves without sufii-
cient funds to handle properly the re-
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly all Of them had to struggle I'M
der the handicap of an insufficient la
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
increased cost of labor and material.
War Lessons Aid In Peace.
Only a few states were unaffected
by the restrictions on the supply and
transportation of materials which had
to be brought from a distance. None
escaped the difficulties which followed
the great and rapid increase in traffic
at this country's entrance into the
war. From New England to the Pa
cific coast new demands were made
upon the highways, and unusual con-
ditions developed everywhere in main
tenance and construction. In several
states high type roads, which had orig
inally been constructed without sufli-
cient foundation to meet the new de-
mands, had to be rebuilt, and part Of
this construction work was carried on

Operation of Automobiles.

of good roads TO any one individual.
Therefore, the farmer Is now back of
road Improvement.
Does the city man feel any interest
in good roads? Ask your neighbor.
If he doesn't own an automobile he ex-
poets to own one, and he knows all
about where the good roads are and
what they mean. But when his influ-
ence counts big, the greatest impetus
has naturally sprung from the numer-
GUS army of motorcar owners to whom
motorcar ownership has made the ter
ritory for miles around his neighbor-
hood.
Counties and states where good
roads have become steady part of a
progressive program of legislation haye
seen values shoot up in the most sur
prising fashion, and this, again, has
brought home the fact that good roads
pay for themselves. Thus it is natu-
raj that the years 1910 and 1920 will
see the most stupendous good roads pro-
grams inaugurated in America that the
world has ever known. This will
result in the wider utility of motor
cars and motortrucks and, of course,
prove big aid to the solution of the
freight traffic problem.

NEED NOT FIT NEW RINGS
Comparatively Easy Matter of Over
coming Spark Plug Fouling From
Oil Which Leaks Through.

When an engine starts to pump oil
and the spark plugs become fouled, it
is not always the best and cheapest
plan to fit new rings. A good method
to overcome spark plug fouling from
the oil which leaks through and one
that does not require the fitting Of new
rings is given herewith.
The piston is taken out and centered
up in the chuck of a lathe and a
groove is cut in the skirt of the PTS
ton. Then eight or ten holes are
drilled at equal spaces around the pc
riphery of the piston. These holes are
drilled at the top of the groove and at
an angle so they point upward and in
ward. This groove will serve as a
wiper of the excessive oil and the
holes will drain the groove and, be-
cause Of their direction, will tend to
lubricate the wrist-pin and the rod.

HOW
RHEUMATISM
BEGINS

The excruciating agonies of rheuma-
tism are usually the result of failure OF
Che kidneys to expel poisons from the

acid crystals is allowed to continue, in
durable bladder or kidney disease may
result. Attend to it at once. Don't
resort to temporary relief. The sick
kidneys must be restored to health by
the use Of some sterling remedy which
will prevent return Of the disease.

while the heavy traffic was kept NOV
ing.
The extensive use of motortrucks
for transportation during war time has
emphasized the possibilities of Well
built roads as means of marketing
farm and other products. Solving road
problems when there was constant
procession of heavily loaded trucks
travelling over them has been great
lesson to road officials, which will be
put to good use In peace times.
The federal aid road-buiding pro-
gram for this year Is the most stu
pendous in the history of the world.
The expenditures for road construction
for the year are likely to reach $780,
100000. Plans have been made for the
construction of continuous highway
systems, the states through which the
highways are to pass cooperating with
each other as never before. Improved
roads will not terminate at state lines,
but win run from one large marketing
center to another.
Free Trucks, Added Appropriations.
More than $45,000,0O0 worth Of mo-
tortrucks, to be used in road construc-
ton work, Will be distributed by the
secretary Of agriculture through the
bureau of public roads to the state
highway departments. These trucks,
about 10000 in number, have been de-
clared surplus by the war department,
and all that the states must do to ac-
quire them is to pay the loading and
freight charges. The trucks range in
capacity from two to five tons, 1000
Of them are new, and all are declared
to be in serviceable condition. They
viii be apportioned to the states only
upon request Of the state highway de-
partments on the basis of request re-
ceived from the respective states with
the apportionment provided In the fed
eral aid law approved in 1916. The
requirements Of the law are such that
none of the trucks will be distributed
to counties or individuals.
Further interest in the nationwide
need for good roads is shown by the
fact that shortly before the last SEES
sion of congress adjourned that body
made an extra appropriation of $780,
100000 in the post office appropriation
bill to meet the federal part Of the
bodybuilding program. This is the
largest appropriation ever made by any
government for similar purpose, say
road officials Of the department Of ag-
riculture.

INTEREST IN ROADS GROWS
Mere Attention Now Given to In
provement in Highways Than
Ever Before in History.

The good roads movement is seeing
big revival now that business Is
becoming normal. The most impor-
tant program that has recently come
to our attention is that of the state
OF Michigan, which has just voted in
favor of a $50,000000 program that,
when carried out, will place Michigan
on the map big so far as good roads
are concerned, writes Birkett L. Will
liams, truck sales manager for large
motorcar corporation.
Everywhere else you see also more
interest in good roads than in any
period in our history. 1t is true to say
that the war and its needs taught us
the value of good roads. Perhaps it
did. Perhaps it brought home to those
dull ears of higher ups the supreme
Importance of an intelligent system of
navigable highways. But more and
more 1t comes home to the man who
studies the situation that back of the
good roads movement must be the or
binary man, the average man who
pays taxes and votes ana thinks as he
votes.
The farmer or rural dwel1er in GER
tain sections for a long time stood in
the wayne wanted the roads, but he
didn't want to pay for them. He did
not realize that in the long run good
roads pay for themselves out of saw
ings made to the community in haul
age of people and merchandise. But
the farmer today Is reckoning in units
of time.
Yes, he realizes the value Of min
utes throughout the season-and he Is
just as keen in conserving time as the
city-bred man who operates a big fac
tory If anything, he is a bit keener,
for seasons do not wait and crops must
be sowed and cultivated, reaped and
marketed at the right time. He has
convinced himself that time is money.
And he knows that good roads save
time and that they save time largely
because they make 1t possible to get
satisfactory services from motorcars
and motortrucks. And he is not one
bit blind to the fact that operating cost
is largely influenced by road condi-
tions-that good roads make gasoline
more elastic, rubber and steel more
durable and bring markets nearer, and
that good roads increase property val
ues out of all proportion to the cost

Gasoline has a similar effect

not be allowed on the floors.
Spare tires should always be
