TN the United States there are three
motor vehicles for every mile Of high
L way. and this includes all our unim-
proved roads.
The Federal Bureau of Public Roads
estimates that the vehicle use of the
public roads in the agricultural districts
has increased 500 percent during the past
5 years; also that Is percent of the main
highway traffic is carried by motor truck.
Roads built even 10 years ago were not
intended to withstand the impact of mod
ern motor vehicles passing in steady
stream. The modern road must be built
to withstand this tremendous shock.
For years the Standard Oil Company
Indiana) has been producing material
which has been used to provide many
miles of roads throughout the Middle
West with cushion tops of paving
asphalt protecting the highways of town
and country against the mighty shocks
of modern traffic.
Good roads are prime essential to nation
al prosperity. The Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) in creating road covering of
proved quality, is playing vital part in
the development Of the Middle West

activities were confined to the purchas4
ing Of branded barrel covers and the
selling Of potatoes. Thirty-nve thou
sand barrel covers were bought at a
saving Of 500, and 126 carload lots
Of potatoes were sold with a saving Of
$4,000.
A great growth In cooperative mar
keting and purchasing has been one
Of the outstanding results of extern
sion work In the South. County agents,
assisted by marketing specialists,
through marketing demonstrations and
by instruction and advice, have aided
local and county associations of farm
ers In the cooperative selling Of many
kinds Of farm produce and live stock,
and in the cooperative purchasing of
great variety of farm necessities.
Farmers have gained knowledge Of
methods and acquired confidence in
their ability to do business on a CO.
operative basis. They are beginning
to undertake definite business organ
izations on a countrywide and even
statewide scale for the marketing Of
their main cash crops, such as cotton,
tobacco and peanuts.
Owing to the cooperative work in
cotton grading, CHASING, and staplIng,
and information given as to the mar
ket value Of the various grades and
staples by extension workers, It is es-
timated that between $1,OO0OO0 and
S2,000,000 were saved to the cotton
farmers of Texas during the year In
increased returns.

Evening Gowns of Tulle

As always at this time OF the year,
there are any number Of tulle evening
gowns to be seen. This season It is
the real silk net, and the colors are
the most beautiful that have been seen
in a long while. They are made up
over foundations Of chiffon, while I'M
derlying slips are often done in a con-
trusting color to provide variance Of
tone.
Then there are the dyed laces for
evening gowns that are being worn a
great deal. They are combined either
with tulle or with chiffon and some
times with cotton net, but always the
material and the trimming seem to
have been dipped In the same dye So
luton, for there is not a whit Of d.
vergence between their shades. There
is the popular frock that is made
with a skirt covered with dyed lace
rulings and with the plain little bod
ice made Of chiffon IN the same tone.
Then there is another model that has
a skirt made entirely Of plated tulle
hounees and a bodice made OF the dyed
lace draped or fitted as the individual
figure may demand.

FAILURE OF ORGANIZATIONS
Unless Farmers Remain steadfastly
Loyal Downfall Can Be Brought
About Quickly.

An association Of men opposed to
farmers cooperative enterprise can
bring about its downfall very quickly
unless the farmers remain steadfastly
loyal. Many cooperative organiza-
tons have failed through the weak
ness of members who could not resist
the temptation offered of a fraction Of
a cent. When the opposition organiza-
ton puts out bait to catch you, try to
remember it is only lure to draw you
from your own friends. Once you
have deserted, the bait is withdrawn.
Stick to your friends, If you expect
them to stick to you.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect It.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, OF the
result Of kidney OF bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of anu
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmer's SwAmp-Root, q physicians pre-.
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get q medium OF large size bottle inn
mediately from any drug store.
SHowever, If you wish first TO test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

Nashville Artist Tells of Terrible
Suffering Experienced by
His Wife.
HUSBAND GOES DOWN HILL
Finally Both Decide to Put TanIac
to Test and as a Result Have En-
ioyed Best OF Health for Past
Three Years,

"BOth my wife and myself have put
Tanlac to the test and we call 1t the
greatest medicine in the world" said
j. I. Montamat, 1923 Third Ave-,
North, Nashville, Tenn, artistic sign
painter for the Cusack Company. Mr..
Montamat has lived in Nashville for
nearly thirty years and is highly re-
spected by all who know him.
Before my wife took Tanlac she
suffered so badly from gas on,her stom-
ach and heartburn that she often said
she felt like she was smothering to
death. She actually had to sit up In
bed to get her breath.
"Well, in a short time after she
began taking Tanlac her trouble dis
appeared and she was like different
person. Seeing the good results in
her case, 1 began taking the medicine
myself and 1t soon had me feeling like
a brand new man.
up to that time had been trOu-
bled with Indigestion. had no appe-
tite and the little / did eat seemed
to do me about as much harm as
good. l felt so tired and languid
hated to move around, and was get
ting in such a rundown condition that
1t worried me.
"Tanlac acted with me just like it
did with my wife, and although that
was three years ago we have enjoyed
the best Of health all along. How
ever, keep a bottle of Tanlac in the
house all the time, and when 1 feel
myself getting run down the medicine
soon has me feeling all right again.
I am convinced that Tanlac is with
out an equal. Our friends all know
how it helped us and don't hesitate
to tell anyone about it,"
Tanlac is sold by leading druggists
everywhere.-Adv.

the ones that the smart dressmakers
are showing for wear a little later in
the season. are those of taffeta with
trimmings Of lace or organdie. These
are the frocks that win be so good for
street wear when the wearer becomes
too hot for a wrap of any sort. The
taffeta frocks, too, are tremendously
satisfactory for afternoon wear, for
they retain a freshness OF line and
contour that Is always pleasing. In
Paris at the Longchamps races there
were displayed a number Of taffeta
dresses OF this sort with very full
skirts, sometimes rufled over their en-
tire surfaces.
Another dress Of black taffeta has
sleeves that are full and flowing and
set into quite straight armholes. They
are Of chiffon that falls gracefully
over the arm to the wrist, when it is
allowed to spread out to its full
length. The neck and sleeves Of this
frock are kept strictly plain In finish,
but there is a fascinating crushed rib
bon belt made Of gold and black
blocked ribbon, tied with a stif bow
under the left arm.
