Lets Have the Roads.

Good reads are mighty fine public
assets. It may be said that forty miles
Of improved roads leading ont Of a
town III different directions are worth
more to it than new railroad (if 1t
already has one) or factory. There
should be continuous effort for good
roads and they should not be allowed
to run down. but should be made better

farmers of Bossier Parish need and
want good roads, SO lets resolve to try
and help them secure them.

There are few things more interest
ing to the average traveller than to
pass through the great locks Of the
Panama canal. The vessel enters very
slowly and as she does lines are taken
aboard leading 10 electric motors or
mules" which keep her In the center
of the lock. Then the great gates at
the rear swing together and the water
is turned into the enclosure thus
formed. Looking over the side of the
steamer one sees n great bubble of
water rise from the bottom. then a
second and third appear until finally
the whole surface Of the lock Is boil
Ing. Tile pressure Is so great that
often fish sucked into the drains that
lead from the Gatum lake, are drawn
in and thrown several feet into the
air. When the proper level is finally
reached the gate ahead OF the vessel
opens and the "mules start forward,
dragging the vessel free from the lock
before she moves ahead under her
own power.
