this were not so. the cheaply built
gravel road would be entirely suit
able for our main Travelled thorough
fares. The ultimate economy of the
concrete road depends upon the ex-
tremely small amount OF money re-
quired to keep II In excellent condi-
tion. The only maintenance needed on
well built concrete road Is that nec-
essary to keep filled with tar the Joints
and the cracks that may develop. The
1919 report Of the state commissioner
OF highways Of New York gives the
average cost OF maintenance for the
three years 1915. 1915, and 1917 as fol-
lows: Macadam. $4,000 per mile Der

AID NATIONAL FOREST ROADS
Secretary Meredith Favors More Lib.
eraI Financial Cooperation In
Western States.

Speaking before highway represent
atives for western states, Edwin r.
Meredith. secretary Of agriculture,
stated his belief that in the western
states, where large areas OF govern
ment lands are located. the federal
government should adopt a system Of
financial cooperation more liberal to
the states than Is the case In the rest
Of the country.
Il think we must recognize the fact
that the existence OF these large areas
or government lands places these
states In somewhat different situa-
ton from the remainder OF the coun-
try" said Mr.. Meredith, 'and that Il
would be only equitable for the fed
ernl government TO increase its per-
centage OF cooperation over the
present basis. am also heartily In
favor Of continuing the appropriations
for the building OF national forest
roads. These forests constitute a
great natural resource, and their
preservation and development is n na-
tional responsibility which ought ia
De met In fult measure.
Mr.. Meredith ndvocnted active con.
tinuation Of present federal and state
cooperation In connection with state
road systems with the systems Of nd
Joining states In order that the work.
Ing out OF an adequate highway pro-
gram for the whole United States may
proceed In an orderly manner. He
also advocated the continuance of
work now going forward under the
federal aid road act.

Hush OF thousand roses In her cheeks
when, Buck Ogilvy having at length
departed. she went into Bryce's private
onice TO get his opinion as to the
propriety OF accepting the invitation.
Bryce listened to her gravely as
with all the sweet innocence of her
years and unworthiness she laid the
Ogilvy proposition before him.

her. Buck Ogilvy Is one of the finest
gentlemen you'll ever meet. I'll stake
my reputation on him. You'll find

he does know how TO order a dinner"
When MORA had left him, Bryce
was reused from bitter introspec-
tions by the ringing OF the telephone.
To his amazement Shirley Sumner was
calling himl
You're wee bit surprised, aren't
you. Mr.. Cardlgan?" she said teasingly.

II wanted some advice. Suppose
you wanted very, very much to know
what two people were talking about,

severely. THAT isn't nice thing to

"And II is OF the utmost importance
that you should know what is said?"
"Yes."
"And you do not intend to use your

gained. for an illegal or unethical pur-
poser"

Moira inclined her dark head and
withdrew. Mr.. Buck Ogilvy groaned.
"God speed the day when you can
come out from under and I'll be per-
nitted to call during office hours" he
murmured. He picked up his hat and
withdrew, via the general office. Half
an hour later, Bryce looked out and
saw him draped over the counter, en-
gagged In animated conversation with
Moira McTavish. Before Ogilvy left,
he had managed 10 impress MORA with
