MAINTENANCE COST OF ROADS
Ultimate Economy of Concrete Road
Depends on the Small Amount
Needed TO Keep 1t Up.

The cost of a road involves not only
first cost but the cost Of keeping it
in continuously usable condition. If
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 it in excellent condi-
ton. The only maintenance needed on
well built concrete road is that nee
essary to keep filed 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, 1916, and 1917 as fol-
lows: Macadam. $4,000 per mile per
year for the maintenance of 2,408
miles; gravel, $824O0 per mile per
year for the maintenance of 178 miles /;
first-class concrete, $124.00 per mile
per year fer the maintenance of 264
miles.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the BeSt

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plaln--the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy lis
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; correets url-
nary troubles and neutrahzes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. I :,
and enclose ten cents; also mention TINS
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug ssores.-AdV.

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

Speaking before highway represent
atives for western states, Edwin T.
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
financiaf~ cooperation more liberal to
the states than is the case In the rest
of the country.
II think we must recognize the fact
that the existence of these large areas
Of government lands places these
states in a somewhat different situa-
ton from the remainder of the coun-
try" said Mr.. Meredith, "and that it
would be only equitable for the fed
eral government to increase its per-
centage of cooperation over the
present basis. I 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 ma
tional responsibility which ought to
be met in full measure.
Mr.. Meredith advocated active con-
tinuation of present federal and state
cooperation In connection with state
road systems with the systems of adj
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.
"As 1921 is the last year covered by
the act" he said. "it would be highly
desirable, in my opinion, for congress
10 make another provision as promptly

Greatest Timber States.

The forests of western Oregon and
Washington contain the largest res
ervoirs of virgin timber left in the
United States, and very large pro
portion of the lumber used by the
country comes from this region, says
the American Forestry Magazine
(Washington, d. CO. Washington has
since 1905 held foremost place among
the states In quantity of lumber pro-
duced; Oregon now ranks third in pro-
duction, but first In volume of stand
