DRIVERS GAN IMPROVE ROADS
Wear to Surface Can Be Prevented
by Driving Over Middle and Other
Less Used Parts.

Drivers can prevent wear to the
surfaces Of the roads and even i'm
prove their condition 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 surface Of the road,
and a little thoughtfulness and care
in this respect on the part Of driv-
ers will do much to add to the per-
manence AID excellence Of our road
ways.

Help a Hero
Fund Started for

EVANSVILLE. Ind. July ~.
"A national "Hcip-a-Hcro" fund
was started here today by Walter
a Thomas, conductor Of the
Chicago n Eastern Illinois rail-
road, to prevent the foreclosure
OF IA $4,000 mortgage on tho
farm OF Alvin c. York, greatest
hero Of the World war"
He sent 81 to the office OF the
Evansville Press and urged that
others send money to the news-
paper or other newspapers for
the same purpose.
4 admire the stand York has
taken In refusing 20 40 on the
stage Thomas said. His atti-
tudo has been splendid. He hated
war. He VAS a conscientious obi
jector. He took II to the Lord in
prayer and decided that II vas
hest To go. And he made the
best soldier In the allied armies.
III say it's modesty when "a man.
single handed. kills 20 Germans,
puts out Of commission SO ma
chine guns. and captures 1872
prisoners and then calls II an

IT'S up to the people to force

pect. One wheel and the windshield
