BARTERING PLACES

Back in the centuries the shops
or stores you know started in
something on the order of pub
lie bartering places.
What has taken their place is
the modern store, where you
can buy what you like just
when you want it. You don't
have to buy a year S supply all
at once as of old. The store
keeper keeps it for you, and
you buy only what you need
as you need it.
The merchants and the manu-

brought this useful state of af-
fairs about for your conven-
fence. You don't even have to

finger tips.
By morning, most II not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and entire

trace Of 1t, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.

GOOD
ROADS
ROAD WORK IS FACILITATED
Effect of Amendments Passed Last
February Is Shown In Report
of Secretary Houston.

Amendments to the federal aid road
facilitated the work of putting the
country on a good roads basis, in the
opinion of David f. Houston, secretary
of agriculture. These amendments, in
brief, increase from $4,000 20 $4,000
per mile the amount of federal funds
that may be expended by one road and
considerably broaden the definition of
what constitutes q rural post road. The
act as it now stands, says Secretary
Houston In his annual report, places
only three limitations on the type Of
road which may be built, as fol-
lows:
THAT the roads shall be 'substan-'
tial in character This means that the
road must be so constructed that 1T
VIII carry the prospective traffic with
such maintenance expenses that the
total annual charges will represent a
reasonable expenditure for the public
service rendered by the highway. 1t Is
to the interest of the states that the
roads on which federal funds are used
be substantially constructed, because
the law requires them, or their civil
subdivisions, as a prerequisite to re-
ceiving further funds, to maintain
properly all roads built with federal
aid. There is nothing in the law which
restricts types of construction between
narrower limits than those established
by sound finance and good engineering
practice.
That the amount contributed from
the federal treasury Is connected with
any road shall not exceed 80 per cent
of its cost or $4,000 a mile The main
thing is to build road that will stand
the traffic in the particular section of
the country where it is constructed.
The conditions In certain regions may
require a heavy, comparatively high
cost type of road, while in others q
lower cost type may meet all the re-
quirements. Sentiment is growing
throughout the country, even in the
newer sections, in favor of more sub
stantial roads.
THAT the road must be a rural post
road as defined in the act as amended ;
that is, amy public road major por-
ton of which Is now used, or can be

road or roads now or hereafter used
for the transportation Of the United
States mails Under the original
wording of the law federal funds could
be expended only on roads upon which

may hereafter be transported
Following the amendments to the
act the regulations governing its ad-
ministraton and the standards for
nlans, specifications and estimates
ere modified, and one of the most
uccessful former state highway engi-
neers in the country was placed in

CONSTRUCTION COST VARIES
Mostly Due to Availability Of Proper
Materials Where Concrete Roads
Are Built.

The cost Of concrete roads vary con
sderably, due mostly to the available.
ity Of proper materials. If good clean
sand and hard durable pebbles or
crushed stone can be readily obtained
close to the road to be improved, the
first cost is materially decreased. On
the whole, however, the cost is slightly
below the costs of other modern types
