GOOD ROADS AID PROSPERITY
Sum Of $500, 600, 900 Lost Last Year by
Farmers Unable to Get to Market
Over Highways.

Good roads are the greatest single
factors in securing and maintaining
community prosperity" Last year
the sum of $3OO,OOO,OOO was lost by
farmers in being unable to market
their products over bad roads Roads
that are impossible during part Of
the year cost farmers in every COM
munity thousands Of dollars a week.
When one stops to think that in
every township laid out in sections
there are u miles Of roads, it is easy
to imagine the mileage of roads in
this country, says writer in an Elk
change. OF these hundreds Of thous-
ands of miles Of roads and streets,
comparatively few miles are paved,
and a noted authority on road build
ing prophesies that not more than 8
per cent of all the roads in this coun-
try will be paved by 1925.
It would be excellent If we could
have all hard roads-brick, concrete
or macadam roads, which are good
all-year roads. We should have more
of them. But 1t is impracticable to
pave every country road. However,
1t is just as important to have good
laterals leading to the main roads as
1t is to have hard surfaced main roads.
So we must do the best we can and
properly maintain our dirt roads and
streets.

ANDY GUMP IN POLITICS

"The Gumps," meaning Andy
Gump, his wife Min, and their son,
Chester, are the subjects of a series
of popular cartoons appearing in the
daily newspapers of the United
States and probably in some foreign
countries. The author, Sidney
Smith, has developed an interest in
his series, equalled, perhaps by no
other series of the present day.
1t is gaining in popularity and
usefulness and will porbably keep
on driving home it's lessons for
months, perhaps years to come.
Andy Gump Is represented as rum
ming for congress somewhere, and
every community accepts him as it's
candidate or the candidate of some
nearby district land lines up for or
against this fictitious candidate as
if he were real. The dailyl affairs
of the Gumps cover so many of the
domestic affairs of the average fam
lily, exaggerated Of course, that it
deals out hunks of human nature
worth studying, and enjoyable be-
cause of its humor.
In the campaign Andy has suf-
fered all the prosecutions to which
candidates fall heir, and he has met
them like true sport-so has Min,
SO has little Chester. In the cleo
ton returns, Andy has been re-
ported upon by wire and thrown on
the screen and received with all the
interest and common fellowship for
which Americans are noted. In the
great seriousness of the hour, Andy
Gump breaks into the limelight and
becomes part of great play, as
real as Santa Claus and as flexible
as human nature can make him. He
has all the troubles that anybody
else can have, he wins, he is broke,
he is grateful, tickle, sincere and
everything-all things to all men.
1t is expected that he will now 60
to congress and give Washington
people a run for their money by ex-
posing lot Of their doings that we
common fry have not known much
about.

1apit Of Health.

When one passes through the large
stores and sees SO many dissatisfied
faces-wrinkles, lines, frowns, fallen
features-faces out of which all life
seems to have gone, it seems shame.
One feels like gathering them in right
there and telling them what to do. You
hear people say: "A business woman
has no time to care for herself" That
is such mistake. Caring for oneself
becomes habit. Certainly half hour
SHOULD not be begrudged each morn
ing and night for something which so
affects ones life. If it could only be
impressed upon a woman's mind how
necessary it is to take exercise to be
strong, well and good looking. Exer-
else stimulates circulation, and with
out good circulation you cannot be
healthy. Without health you all know
you cannot be beautiful. Do not neg
lect two things which any business
woman can do-walking and water
drinking.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
FROM E. NJ. KENNEDY
Says Farmers Do Not
Raise Enough
Livestock

What is the matter with the farm
ers OF our localities that they do not
60 into the livestock business,
either sheep, cattle or hogs, and
make 1t business. Nothing has a
more promising future than this
business has today. We have good
ranges tributary to our door, and
we have the best winter ranges in
the west for cattle and sheep, to-
gether with good irrigated land to
grow plenty of hay and forage. II
more of our farmers would become
stockmen, and not try to grow 80
much wheat and potatoes, they
would be better of. Also fertilize
your land and grow larger crops.
and also have employment In the
winter.
II our people would grow more
livestock and feed their farm crops,
| our locality would prosper more and
| you would not have to worry about
the freight rates so much or the big
potato cellars that are liable to
freeze, or the grade Of your wheat
| and potatoes and the price. You
could have the COW and the pig and
the hen at home on the farm at all
times to pay expenses while the
| herds could be grazing on Uncle
Sans domain and by SO doing have
a dollar in your pocket all the time
instead of this once-a-year payday
by growing speculative crops.
I predict sheep, cattle and hogs
all are going higher, but at the pres
emit prices they can be raised at a
profit. If you don't want to run
range stock, get few good milk
cows and take care of them, or a
flock Of sheep on the farm is always
profitable. We are long haul to
market, and we must produce the
finished product on the farm. That
is my solution to paying the mort
cages on the farm-make our
citizens more content and be sure,
safe and fascinating business that Is
worth while. Keep one-half or more
of your land in hay and stock
enough to feed it.
I have made more money from
livestock than ever made out of the
banking business and you can do the
same thing. Don't 60 into regist-
cred stock, but good grade stock.
There are only a few people who
make a success of registered live
stock. Get good grades and work
these out-that is where the real
and sure money it.
We are particularly favored by
having in our town the Southeastern
Idaho Livestock Loan company, the
largest loan company in the state,
where you can secure loans for three
years at IN per cent interest,
when handled by the far finance
corporation.
Yours for more livestock,
E. M. KENNEDY.

UTAH ENTERTAINED WOMEN

The sessions of the third annual
Western Conference of Associated
Women Students were held Novem-
Der Sill at the University of Utah.
About eighty-five delegates were in
attendance, including the deans Of
women and the girl representatives
of the different schools.
President Thomas of the univers-
ity gave the address of welcome to
the delegates. He announced that
the goal to which we are striving,
here on the campus, is higher
scholarship; and that the primary
function Of college is to develop
the utmost capacity in the minds of
its students, but that social activit-
les must not eclipse intellectual
pursuit"
Honor societies, scholarship,
dormitory problems, social activit-
les, student elf-government, and
the efficiency of the Women's Self
Government association were the
chief topics of discussion.
Social activities drew the great
est interest of the conference. Re-
ports were given and 1t was dis
cussed as to whether the women
were under or over-organized and
which condition was conducive to
the best scholarship. 1t was the
consensus of the convention that
freshmen should be trained so that
they might develop into all-around
scholars in their senior year.
The delegates were given an ap-
probation of the resources and
beauties of the state by Wesley e.
King, who spoke at the opening ses-
sion and by DR.. j. E. Broaddus, who
gave an illustrated lecture on Utah,
the Beautiful Lavish entertain
ments were given the delegates.
Banquets, dances and musicals were
on the program.
The conference has been a great
help to the University of Utah and
the state. Each delegate repre-
sented at least 500 women and will
carry to them the message of the
conference.

GOOD
ROADS
, RAFFlC WEAR ON BRIDGES
New instrument Measures With Scien
tific Precision the Effect Of
Every Shock.

Prepared by tn" QniteS States Department
Of AEriculture.)
A new instrument devised by the
bureau Of public roads of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
measures with scientific precision the
effect of every shock and blow deliv.
cred by moving vehicles in crossing q
bridge. Attached to any part Of the
bridge structure, this instrument
makes a Photographic record of the
effect Of the moving load. The amount
Of stretching or shortening Of the part
as result of the shocks is represent.
ed by fine black line on the photo
graph.
No blow or shock can be delivered
SO quickly that the instrument will not
record its effect. It has never before
oeen possible to measure the effect Of
such blows. Engineers have long been
able to calculate the effect Of standing
loads very exactly; but because Of
their inability to measure the effect OF
quickly delivered blows or impacts,
they have never been able to proper
ton the various parts Of a bridge with
absolute assurance. It has been nee
essary to make liberal allowance for
this unknown quantity. In some cases
the allowance has not been sufficient
and the bridges have collapsed under
moving loads.
Many bridges still in service are
probably too weak to Withstand safely
the sharp blows Of swiftly moving
vehicles, though they will safely carry
the same vehicles at rest or moving
at slow speed. The familiar warning
posted at the portals Of bridge:
Speed limit on this bridge eight miles
per hour" means that the design of
the bridge to which 1t Is attached is
not strong enough to allow for impact.
In the light of the recent experiments
with motortrucks in which 1t was
shown that swiftly moving motor
