GOOD
FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS
President Harding Insists That States
and Communities Keep Roads
in Repair.

President Harding has touched up
ON a subject which it is to be hoped
he will develop in his communications
to congress, and that is the subject OF
federal participation in the BUILDING
of good roads. The government Is
committed to the policy of co-operat-
ing with the states in road construc-
ton. and there is no disposition 10
depart from it, but the President Is
emphatic in his insiStence that the
states and communities shall assume
the responsibility of keeping their
roads in repair, which is only just
and fair proposition, says Washington
Post. II the government is to pay
out millions of the taxpayers money
to help pay for the construction OF
roads. only to see within few years
these highways deteriorate into dis
use and decay, that money is wasted.
The value of good roads is now gen
orally recognized and the larger ana
more progressive states have proved
hat they are good investments. I'm

automobile roads, they mean cheaper
and better food. greater values in the
land, better opportunities for the
rural population. And they also pay
good dividends in the huge sums col
lected in license fees for motor We
hicles, enough in most instances to
pay the cost of repairs and improve
ments.
The policy of the government CO.
operating with the states in the cost
of road building has been great in
centive in the construction of better
highways and there is no doubt that
many thousands of miles Of roads have
been built under this plan, which
otherwise would not have been under
taken. 1t should and doubtless Will
be continued but there should be an
expressed guarantee that roads built
under this cooperative plan are TO be
maintained and kept in good repair.
This prominently is the duty of the

FACTORS IN PLANNING ROAD
Location, Construction and Mainte-
nance Must Be Taken Into
Serious Consideration.

The three principal divisions of &C
tual road making are location, con-
struction and maintenance. In plan
ming q road it is necessary that we
take into consideration all three Of
these steps, since proper location at
fects the cost of construction and
may materially reduce cost of main
tenance.
Some Of the things to be considered
In locating a road are easy grades,
good drainage, exposure to sunshine,
elimination of culverts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek crossings,
directness and the number of farms
to be served for a given length of
road. Whenever possible to avoid 1t,
q good location should not be rejected
merely because a certain roadway has
been in use for some time.

of his poultry until he could carry it
to his home.
AS | told you, this happened long
before Mr.. Fox was clever; he would
not do such thing now.
SO he called on Mr.. Possum and
told him if he would take care of the
chickens he would give him two fine
ones to pay for his kindness.
Mr.. Postum said he would and that
he would store them safely away I'M
der a rock by his house where there
was a cave.
Mr.. Fox trotted back and forth all
night with fat chickens which he put
in the cave under the rock, but he did
not know that as fast as he put them
away Mr.. Possum carried them TO an
other part of the woods.
When it was almost daylight Mr..
Possum took another chicken and de-
parted for good, and when MIR. Fox
looked into the cave he found only a
4 few of the many chickens he had
placed there.
Mr.. Postum was nowhere to be
found. He had moved bag and bag
gage to another home, but Mr.. Fox
hunted until he found him, and the
trouble began.
Mr.. Possum saM he was not the
same Mr.. Postum. :" never lived In
the place you speak of, and 1 do mo-
know about any rock or cave or chick
ems; You have the wrong fellow. Mr.
Fox" he said.
Mr.. Fox was surprised at the bolt
manner of Mr.. Possum, for he wa
sure he was the one he was looking
for; still there was a chance that h
had made a mistake.
Right here is where Mr.. Owl earne

The fact is that often people re-

$4,000 to 10000 beetles can be col

of this pest are being made by means
of federal and local quarantines. IN
der this quarantine the government
maintains a supervision over the move
ment of articles likely to carry the
pest from infested areas to other sec
tions of the country. But the greatest
drawback lies in. the ease with which
il may be carried by individuals on

Some idea of the burden which this
insect puts upon the Orchardists of the
United States can be bad when V Is
realized that the expenditure for. ap-
paratus and spraying amounts TO APP

addition to this are the losses that
the insect causes in spite of this con-

MIR. OWL Is WISE BIRD.

MANY years ago, long before Mr.
WI Fox was called clever or sly, or
Mr. Owl a wise bird, or any OF the
wood folk had earned any name Tor
themselves other than their own, there
was trouble between Mr.. Fox and MI
Possum.
1t happened in this way. MIR. FOX
one night went for chickens to a farm
long way from his home, and when
he arrived he found that the poultry
house door was open and it was easy
enough to get all he wanted, for Mr.
Dog was away.
The only trouble was that he had
no place TO store them, and it was too
far to carry them to his home and &c
back for more.
Mr.. Fox happened TO think of Mr.
Postum, and he decided that he would
make a bargain with him to take care

Bear in mind, however, If you are

although Il wedding present is sent
TO the bride. the anniversary present
is sent to both husband and wife.
The question of whether or not to
wear ones first wedding frock is one
that puzzles some women when plan

really il ought not to be very difiicuh
to solve. There Is the best OF prece
dent for the custom but when the
bride of twenty-five years has changed
very much in form the wedding dress
may be extremely unbecoming to her
or it may need very considerable
alteration to make 1t possible to wear.
The effect then is not apt to be pleas
