cause of their location on a good
highway, command much higher
price than poorly located farms OF
greater fertility.
In SpotSylvania county, Virginia
the average value Of the farms per
acre after the roads were improved
was S2S.26. as compared with Sl1.3l
previous to the improvement. In Din
widdie county. Virginia, the actual
price of IS farms sold or offered for
sale from 1909 to 1914 ranged in price
from 1898 to $43.74 per acre before
the roads were improved. and from
$24.7O to $3.50 per acre after the
roads had been properly built.
In Lee county, Virginia, a study
of eight tracts along the roads before
and after their improvement, indicat-
ed that these properties had increaS-
ed in value about S23 per acre, or 20
per cent. Similar results could be OBJ
tanned in Williamsburg where there
is not only pressing need for better
roads, but a greater spirit of cooper
alton in keeping the roads in the
county in perfect condition after they
are properly built, graded and sur
faced. 1t is useless to spend money
building a perfect road if it does not
receive the necessary care to maintain
its condition indefinitely.

VICE ALONG THE BORDER
Mexican Saloonkeepers Reaping Har-
vest From Americans

Mexican towns along the Texas
border are reaping harvest from
American men and women addicted to
the drinking and gambling habit.
When state wide prohibition was put
into effect in Texas, and later when
the United States government sought
to rid the Southwest of gamblers and
women of questionable reputation,
Jaurez, Matamoros, PiedraS Negras,
and Nuevo Laredo WED with each
other in providing haven for those
who might wish to cross the Mexican
border and continue the pursuits they
had followed in Texas. Hundreds Of
saloons and gambling dens were open
ed and now they are yielding their
proprietors and the Mexican govern
ment a neat income.
Beer, made in Monterey but bear
ing an American label, is being sold
at 35 cents a pint bottle in Nuevo
Laredo. Whiskey sells for from 25 to
so cents a bottle, and, unless Sun
day is particularly dull, it is declared
a hotel that does not take in more
than $500 is doing small business.
The Mexican officials protect the
saloons and gambling dehs of their
cities, in fact, encourage them. 1t is
said that when the mayor Of Nuevo
Laredo opposed gambling in saloons,
he was removed from office and a
mayor pro tenn who. permitted gamb-
ling was put in his place.
Saloons and gambling dens in Mex
leo pay a heavy license tax. At this
time Mexican border towns which
are reaping big money off Americans,
both at the bar and at gambling ta-
bles give magnificent sums for their
privileges.

Good Roads Increase Value of Farm

Good Roads Increase Value of Farm
After making an economic survey
of eight counties, specialists of the
Office of Public Roads determined
the dollars and cents effect of good
roads on land values. Improvement
of the main market roads increased
the selling price of tillable farm
lands from rs to 1874 per cent.
With the development and i'm
provement of the roads comes de-
velopment of the rural activities. The
markets can be reached more quickly,
work can be carried on in unfavorable
weather. the schools and churches
can be more readily attended, and the
community is improved socially. All
such influences have a powerful effect
in making the farms more valuable.
While some farms, relatively poor so
far as fertility is concerned, yet be-
