DRIVERS CAN PREVENT WEAR
One Thing That Is Most Destructive 10
Driving In Tracks-Distribute
Traffic Evenly.

Drivers can prevent wear to the sur
faces of the roads and even improve
their conditions, If instead Of driving
in one track or on the edge Of the
road, they will drive over the middle
and other less-used parts Of the road
when traffic permits. The one thing
that is fatal above all things to road
surfaces, whether dirt or paved, is
driving in tracks, which subjects one
small part of the road surface to all
the traffic and damage that the whole
road accommodates. Traffic should be
evenly distributed over the entire sur
face Of the road, and little thought
fulness and care In this respect on the
part Of drivers will do much to add
to the permanence and excellence Of
our roadways.

it would be a good thing to get into
the association after all, and requested
membership in this block.
"No,, SIR" said Green, who had been
elected director of the block. "You had
your chance and wouldn't come in. Or
ganize a block of your own. We don't
want you in ours"
( With the arrival Of the excellent
Jersey bull Oxford Mon Plaisir 16973S,
which had been secured for the use OF
block members, the farmers who had
at first refused to join the association
were doubly anxious to get in, but
were again told that they would have
to organize block Of their own. Thus
It appears that the doubling ones, who
are found in every community, had to
pay the penalty Of hesitattng. While
they may still get into the associa-
tion and enjoy its benefits by organiz-
ing q new block, they have lost a
great deal Of time.

FACTS !
ASSOCIATIONS ARE BIG HELP
! Evidence of Popularity of Plan With
Small Dairynen Is Shown in
Mississippi County.

From Attala county, Mississippi,
new evidence Of the popularity of the
bull association among farmers with
small dairy herds has come to the at
tention of the dairy division, United
States department of agriculture,
through the announcement that CO.
Operative bull association has been or
ganized in that community.
Dairying is almost new venture
with many of the farmers in Attala
county, Perhaps it is this very new
ness and the consequent lack of preju-
dice in favor of old methods Of doing
things that has made it so compara-
lively easy to introduce this modern
method of improving cattle. Many Of
the dairymen in the community have
shown themselves to be progressive,
but one man especially stands out as
a leader in this respect. We will call
him Green. n, is a good old South
i.erner who is said to have farmed for
some sixty years.
When the agricultural extension
agents from the federal and state de-
.partments came into the community to
''.organize bull association Green was
the man they called on first. They
knew from experience that he would
be very likely to see the advantage Of
such an association to the community,
and would be strong factor in swing
ing into line other farmers in the
'neighborhood. AS was expected, Green
;at once saw the advantages that the
proposition offered, and the very next
day he started in on the preliminary
work of organizing bull association
.':hlock."
"A few days later the extension men
heard over the telephone that block
was practically assured. Later, how
ever, Green telephoned that some of
the prospective members were dropping
out, as they remembered q disastrous
experience of some years before, when
they had paid high price for worth
less stallion. This objection was met,
however, with the assurance that the
federal and state agents were indors-
ing this project and would see that no
zone was swindled.
Later on Green informed the coun-
'ty agent that q block of 40 cows had
been formed and could be signed up If
the agent and specialist would come
out to the schoolhouse and clear up
certain doubtful points. This was
done, and six farmers signed up 43
COWS, so that S430 was then available
for buying bull.
Things were moving along in such
promising manner that the farmers
who had refused to join decided that

their allotments Of these army supplies
because Of the great assistance they
will be in expediting road building.
This material is in addition to approx
inately $4,000 army motor vehicles
which already have been allotted to
the states through the federal depart
ment Of agriculture in accord with pre-
vious legislation.
AS yet no definite estimate can be
made as to the number Of machines Of
different kinds which the secretary Of
war wilp designate to be Surplus and
not required for military purposes" as
provided in the act. Among the scores
Of items listed in the law are: Road
rollers, sprinkling wagons, concrete
mixers, derricks, complete plle-driver
outfits, clam-shell buckets, caterpillar
and drag-llne excavators, plows,
cranes, dump wagons, hoisting engines,
stump pullers, wheelbarrows, blasting
machines, corrugated metal culverts,
surveying instruments, drafting ma
chimes, fabricated bridge materials,
gravity and power conveyors, and
wagons.
The distribution Of this material
will be made by the United States de
partment Of agriculture, the work be-
Ing in the immediate charge Of the bu-S
reau Of public roads. 1t will be al
lotted In the same ratio as funds
granted to the states for federal aid
roads.
The bill also empowers the secre-
tary Of war in his discretion to trans
fer to the United States department
Of agriculture for use by the forestry
service in the work, of supervising the
national forests, any telephone sup
plies no longer required for military
purposes.
The federal government Is to be re-
imbursed by the states, sum equal to
20 per cent of the value Of the mate
rial less all freight charges incurred in
delivering the property to them. The
title to all vehicles and other equip
ment remains vested In the state for
use In improving highways. No We
hicles and equipment, in serviceable
condition, can be sold or the title
transferred to any one else. A provi-
sion inserted in the bill shortly before
its final passage provided that any
state highway department may ar
range for the use Of thistmaterial by
any state agency or municipal corpora
tion at e fair rental, if it Is to be used
in constructing and maintaining public
highways. The rental must not be
less than the cost of maintenance and
repair of the vehicles and equipment

Benefits Of Good Roada

Good roads will enable the produc-

time, thus insuring higher prices for
them and lower and more Uniform
prices for the consumer, and will
serve to distribute railway trafic

Bad Writing Cost 10 Lives.
(postou Harold

Last month there occurred near Bel
lows Falls an accident on the Rutland
railroad which cost half a score of
lives. A train crew ran past station
and collision ensued between a
freight and passenger train. The
state public service commission investi-
gates and t,nds that the word Bar

the freight, as the point where the
two trains were to have passed, was
written so hurriedly or so carelessly by
certain station agent at a small place
that an ordinary reader seeing the
word by itself could hardly have deci-
phered it. Seldom has tragic event
called public attention more emphatic

oVERALIs AND APRONS.

The wave Of adopting overalls and
aprons as the garb of professional and
business men presents both commenda
tory and Objectionable features. In the
general change from regulation cloth

ing is made possible The prices of
overalls have been tripled by many re-
tailers who were already making n good
profit. 4 good feature OF the plan is
the determination of CONSUMERS to
make clothing smaller proportion of
living expenses. The general adoption
of less elaborate and costly clothing
would mean the saving of millions to
