SOME ROAD
FIGURES.

We have just read some interesting
figures about the roads Of Oklahoma,
figures that will make the average
Julesburg man sit up and take notice
in q hurry. Tests made over every
kind of highway in the state show
that where 5000 pounds is to be trans
ported, ten horses are necessary upon
y sandy or muddy road. Upon hard,
dirt road five horses must be used.
On gravel road, two horses will do
the work. If there is good macadam
or paved road, one horse is all that
is necessary.
Then, the figures are switched
around, but they are still interesting.
Suppose farmer has only one work
horse available. He can haul 800
pounds over a muddy dirt road, 1900
pounds over hard, smooth dirt road,
5000 pounds on a gravel road and
from 5000 to 5000 pounds on a ma
caO&m OF PSveo IVo0s
In this country, where considerable
hauling is now being done by motor,
the time consumed would also enter
into the calculation. But the relative
cost of transporting goods over good
highways and bad ones is about the
same, whether horses or trucks are
used. And the figures also show that
in every community where the roads
are good and farmers can get easily
and quickly to and from market liv-
ing costs are lower than in sections
where little attention is given to roads.
Isn't that latter condition worth
thinking over!

PRESIDENTIAL
YEAR.

This is q presidential year and. in
the opinion Of . lot Of people, . bad
year for business. Just why = pFesi-
Dental year isn't as good from q bus
mess standpoint n any other no one
has ever been able to explain. and
until they do explain there will be
thousands of US unwilling to believe
the statement.
Business men We have talked to in
Julesburg are optimistic rs 4 rule.
They are not looking for the bottom
TO drop out" Of commodities and
neither are they taking much stock
IA occasional reports Of an approach
ing panic. They believe things are
getting better daily. and the country
adjusting itself in very good shape.
We note one hopeful Ngn by our
exchanges, and that Is heavier ad.
vertising on the paIt Of local mer-
chants than ever before. This can
only mean bigger trade and more
money in circulation. Live merchants
advertise when business is bad to
make it good, and they advertise
when business is good to make it bet
ter. So taking the papers which
come to this office as barometer
merchants Of other towns in this sec
ton of the state are not worrying
about any presidential year hoo-doo.
They are going to sell goods, more
goods it would seem than they ever
sold, and they are depending, as wise
men have long since learned to de-
pnd, upon advertising to do it. More
advertising is used today than ever
before, and that is why more money
is to be found in circulation than ever
before. We offer these facts solely
for the benefit of merchants here in
Julesburg who haven't learned this
truth, as well as those who may want
a certain and sure way to disprove the
old theory that a presidential year
is bad business year.

in an Ohio town up TO . few weeks

did in q few minutes what the men
have been neglseting for years. Not
only that, but they are finding many
improvements necessary ~ they go
over the town, and they are not 60

What the women Of that town have
done can be done here, and with ben
eft to all. The health and comfort
of the women of this community con-
Germs the women as much as the men.
And the quicker they realize it and
take a hand in affairs the better off
all of US will be. Working with the

in more healthy condition through
