MUCH CRUSHED ROCK NEEDED
Program FOR Road Building In Mime
sofa Calls for GOT, 900 Tons
self u Material. 49, i,ss.s',t4,.

The proposed bodybuilding program
in Minnesota this year will requirs
about 667, 900 tons Of crushed rock or
gravel, or nearly 10000 carloads f,ag-
gregate. according to information, Sc
cured by the bureau of public roads,
United States department OF agricul-
ture. The figures give some idea Of
the magnitude of the road-building
program now. being carried on in many
states. Largely on account of short
age of crushed stone or gravel SO
miles OF road which were to have been
built In 1919 were not completed
These roads are to be completed this
year, while about $50 miles of new
construction requiring crushed rock or
gravel have been authorized. This
makes a'mileage of $50 scheduled for
1920.

that our highways are Inadequate az
now constructed, said Mr. Brush.
Even our most substantial roads
showed the effects of this additional
traffic and the more cheaply built
thoroughfares began to deteriorate
rapidly In fact SO fast that, ID was
necessary for highway officials to ex-
ercise their rights under the state
laws and limit the weight of loads.
The highways we have been buNd-
ing in recent years, even the perma-
nent types. are not heavy enough to
carry the ever increasing commercial
traffic. Engineers realize now that
the roads must be considerably thick
er than at present and that they must
be wider to give room for the addi-
tional vehicles being placed in service.
Another phase OF the commercial
traffic problem Is that Of tire equip
ment. 1t is going to be necessary to
equip all trucks with pneumatics
eventually in order that the highways
may be protected as much as possible.
The pneumatic tire gets away from
the constant pounding that is evident
with solid tires They absorb the
shock, no matter how minute, and
thereby save the pavement from the
pounding of the heavy load and give
longer life to the mechanism of the
vehicle.
Experience is the only teacher and
experience. has shown to all the big
road engineers OF the country the fol-
ly of building good road too light.
The surfaces must be thicker In order
to stand the shock of the heavy loads
passing over them. sf 400 as

GREAT LAND SALE
IN BOYLE COUNTY
Col. Ike Dunn's Real Estate
Agency Makes the Sale of
Its Career
Granville Advocate

/. M. Dunn Real Estate Agency, of
Danville, this morning made the rec
or dbreaking land sale of its existence
eclipsing anything heretofore lehd in
/ Boyle county, when they sold the
Williams farm for more than eighty
thousand dollars. Tracts one, two and
three We're bought by Mr.. J. M.
Ores, prominent Lancaster pike
farmer, and Mr.. Thomas Hendren,
well known Garrard county citizen,
/ at $376.50 an acre. These combined
tracts embrace a fraction over one
hundred and twenty-eight acres.
Tract numebr four was purchased by
]. Lee Murphy, the we'll known
Hedgeville capitalist, at $500 per acre.
/ This tract embraces about fifty acres.
4 Before the various tracts were block
] ed the residence and sixty acres were
offered and the high bidder was Mr.
j. M. Cress, whose bid was $416 per
acre. The Shelby farm of LOT acres
was bought by Mr. Price Elliott, a
substantial Lincoln county citizen
Il
and the way he handled this sale
throughout stamped him as the prem
Ter land auctioneer of Kentucky. The
attendance at the sale was the largest
that has been seen in this section in
months. The large avenue, roadside5
and lots were filled with automobiles
and people. There were a large num-
/ Der of bidders. It was the universal
opinion of the great crowd, so far as
the Advocate reporter could learn,
that the sale was one of the best from
every point of view ever conducted in
Boyle county.
Col. Dunn's description of the place,
his touching reference to the sacred
blue grass soil and the Old Kentucky
home characterized him as not only
Kentucky's leading auctioneer, but as
an orator in the top class. This is
the second time this farm has been
sold in five generations, the Bruce
family having owned it for years be-
fore its sale to Mr.. w. D. Williams
Col Dunn touched on the Kentuckians
who have located in Mississippi, Ala
bama and other southern states and
referred to the fact that most of
them return to the Blue Grass better
satisfied than ever before. A number
of returned Kentuckians were bidders
today. having had their experience
with the mud roads of the south and
the blue soil of Ohio which hold wa
ter like a bucket.
The 1. NJ. Dunn Agency, composed
of Col. L. M. Dunn, Mr.. Joseph Jen-
nings and former Sheriff B. G. Fox,
ranks at the front as real estate deal
ers and their services are being
sought by those having property for
sale not only in Kentucky, but in adj
joining states. The Advocate congrat-
ulates these gentlemen on their un-
precedented success and takes pleas
ure in assuring the public with their
fair dealing and impartial treatment
of all bidders and their policy abso-
lutely to handle no sale where there
are to be by-bidders guarantees their
continued rise in the public estinia- F,
ton.

workman has found that his opportuni- ties under the open shop plan are far greater than under the closed shop where he is hindered and hampered by the domination of business agents and union officials.
 The public of Phoenix have found (what they have always believed to be the fact) that the open shop is eff cient. fair and square and that those business enterprises which operate on the American plan in industry are worthy of their patronage.
 'So we'll has this been demonstrated that the public now demands that the fair. square principles of the open shop be adopted generally to the end that men Of every craft shall enjoy these same privileges which are enjoyed by men in some of the trades.
 "The campaign inaugurated and carried out by the association has not been one of intimidation, threats or coercion, but has been one of educa- ton and demonstration firmly and quiely carried out with the determina- ton to refrain from working hardship upon any one-eyen to those who are opposed to us.
 That these policies have met with approval is evident upon every hand and by the desire of practically all the industries in the city of Phoenix to en- list under the banner of the open shop It is to still further assist and help those of our citizens in this regard that the Open Shop association is ann plifying the scope Of its activities and
 is taking the firm and determined stand which guarantees to employer and employe equal justice and oppor- tunities, and to the public uninter- rupted service, and, that mutual under standing without which we cannot at tain our goal Of commercial promi- hence nor enjoy industrial peace.
