What are the things to be considered
In locating the rOad2 What grade"
should be maintained? How should
the road be drained? What are the
laws governing highway construction?
There are a few questions answered
In extension circular 6S dealing with
country roads.
Matters Of prime consideration In
locating a road are: Easy grades.
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination of c~ulverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number Of farms to
be served for a given length Of road.
Whenever possible to avoid 1t, a good
location should not be rejected merely
because a certain roadway has been In
use for some time. If the location Of
a used road is bad it should be
changed II possible. In relocating roads
avoid railroad crossings ut 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 8 per cent grade means
that the road rises or falls 5 feet each
100 feet along its center line. 1t has
been calculated that on n smooth coun-
try road the load hat n horse could
pull on a level would require two on "A
5 per cent grade, three on a 10 per cent
grade and four on a 10 per cent grade.
Engineers usually figure a 9 per cent
grade as a maximum.
Road work In Missouri has not been
as well managed as other public work.
Projects have been too narrowly linz
tied 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, Sc
curing good engineering advice in the
preparation of plans and requiring
careful engineering supervision Of con-
struction.

BUSINESS MEN IN HISTORY
Interesting Question az to Whether II
Is Better to Be Owner or
Employee.

The main object of life is doubtless
to get something out of 1t besides
trouble. and 81 any critical comparison
of rival methods of earning n living
cennot fail to be interesting to all
men. The only ones not affected are
the carefree hobo fitting from place to
place and the wise lad who early In
life took the precaution TO marry the
lovely daughter of the capitalist.
Now, about the matter of running
your own business or working for some
one else on salary and commission. II
we go into history the testimony Is
somewhat conflicting, writes j. X.
Sprague In Sunset. Moses was a sal
aired man for the Pharaoh corpora
ton and did very well for himself.
On the other hand, our old friend Bis
marck, also a salaried man, built up
a wonderful business for his firm. but,
as so often happens, was thrown out
of a Job when he got along In years,
and the young fellow stepped in and
took over the business.
Among those who went into business
for themselves, Mark Antony did wen
and would probably have become head
of the worlds greatest corporation If
he had not got into fast company and
wasted his time on wine suppers,
houseboat parties, and so on.
Alexander the Great, strictly a bust
ness man with no foolishness about
him, In ten years built up such a ire
mendous organization that he fretted
because there were no more good
sized towns where he could establish
branch houses. Napoleon, who was In
business for himself, prospered ex-
ceedingly for Il number of years and
probably would have died rich except
for an unwise second marriage and
the fact hat he tried to spread out too
much for his capital.
We all know the outcome of the
business owned and managed by VII
liam HOhenZollern. Interested cred
tiers would do well to compare a Dun
or Bradstreet report IN his affairs
made I'm the spring of 1914 with his
rating at the present time.
