Good Road Around Home
Is of Much Importance

Since this is the day of automobiles
and trucks on the farm, the question
of a good road around the home place
Is Of vital Importance, writes G. R.
Farmer, In the Farm and Ranch. The
county or state funds cannot build a
gravel road to every farmhouse. That
would be impracticable. Therefore,
the farmer must look around for an
economical way to do it himself.
When we think Of the many creeks,
with beds and beds Of gravel waiting
to be utilized into a good road, we
wonder why there are no more good
gravel roads around every farm.
The work can be done entirely dur
ing wet and muddy weather If neces-
sary, and In this way the farmer can
have good roads by putting In work on
1t at times when he could not be doing
work In the field. Of course, 1t could
not be expected to build any great
length Of road In one or two days, I'M
less the farmer has considerable help.
But by first grading up the road. or a
part Of it, during me wet spell, finish
ing 1t the next one, and then put
ting the gravel from the creek bed on
1t each succeeding rain thereafter, I'M
til the road is up in frst-class condi-
ton, a lot may be accomplished.
Even though the gravel supply
might not be enough to build the re-
CURED length of road, one needs only
to wait until the next rain, and when
the water has receded, he will find a
new gravel bed waiting for him.
To figure the saving a good gravel
road would be to each farm would be
an impossibility, for its good will go
on SO long as the farm is operated,
and the road is kept up, which can be
done very easily by filling In each
weak place with more gravel from the
creek, as It is needed.
So economical is this kind Of road,
that wherever there Is a creek with
gravel beds, there is no excuse for the
live, progressive farmer not having a
gravel road all around his farm. By
cooperation among the farmers, a
gravel road can be extended to the
county or state highways, or to the
next closest town. However, that is
a question that would bring In other
points, and this is an article to apply
to the individual farmer who would
ike to have a good gravel road for
his own use on and around his farm.
1t will be the means of his being
able to do hauling in muddy weather,
when 1t would be impossible to do it,
did he not have a gravel road, and
this alone will be worth much in dol
lars n cents in the course Of a year
in getting products or machinery I'M
der shelter when the weather requires
it.
AS this is an opportunity to have a
good road with no investment except
work. every farmer should give it seri-
u consideration, and make arrange
ments to work on the suggestion.

DUTY OF EVERY CAR DRIVER
Keep Machine In Good Repute on
Streets and Highways, Says
Secretary Fred Galley.

Keeping the motor car in good re-
pute or the streets and highways, ac-
cording to Fred II. Galley, executive
secretary of the National Motorists
association, is the duty of every own
err and the basis upon which the CON
tinued success of the motor car as a
form Of safe transportation depends.
"Some motorists need to be educat-
ed to a better understanding of their
responsibilities, and act upon the adj
vice Of the more experienced" says
Mr.. Galley. "Our rules of safety reach
this class satisfactorily, but we must
treat the irresponsible motorist diff
f~erently. Mere words, ever the most
caustic phrases, do not reach him. A
more vigorous policy Is necessary.
ut is not enough to sit by and COM
plain about the foolhardy things be-
Ing done to the discredit Of drivers
who try to be decent. Take the vi
olator's number and report him to the
police. Better still, jump out and pub
licly threaten to have him arrested.
He won't forget the humility of it in
a hurry.
mo motorist is justified in remain
ing disinterested in the telling of a
story Of speeding. Let the violator
know that he is on a par with the con-
ventional lawbreaker and convince him
the stigma his act places upon motor
ing will eventually hurt his standing,
his business and his freedom in motor
ing"

S%PEEDOMETER FIXED
TO REGULATE ENGINE
New Device Deadens Motor When
DiaIed Figure Reached.

Possibility Of improvement in the
~speedometer has perhaps not i'm
pressed Itself upon the average driver (;
but the product now being marketed
indicates that this possibility exists.
AS far as the mechanism indicating
speed, trip mileage and total mileage
Is concerned, this speedometer is no
different from its predecessors. But
1t goes far beyond that.
The dial at the bottom Of the In
strument may be set for any desired
speed, and then locked or left I'M
locked. In either event, as the car
comes within two or three miles of
the indicated speed. the signal light
at the right will fash and If the
a~cceleration then continues until the
car actually reaches the dialed speed,
the Ignition is cut Off. If the dial
has been locked, there is 40 escape
from this If 1t has been left unlocked,
the driver may meet IN emergency by
a simple twist of the key. setting the
limit forward to any desired point.
Finally, the instrument may be adj
Justed so that the signal light alone
works, without the ignition cut-out;
or the cut-out alone, without the light;
or both together. as described above.
Ordinarily, when the ignition cut-out
functions, the engine will go dead and
stay dead until the car speed falls be-
low the dialed figure and at this point
the cut-out will go out Of action and
the rolling car will start the engine,
just as in braking with the engine.
If it Is desired to prevent this, the
dial may be left unlocked. and turned
back to zero as the cut-out comes

DRIPPING FROM CRANK CASE
Trouble Has Its Source Usually at
Bolt Holes In Oil Pan or a
Broken Gaskef.

The dripping of oil from the bottom
of the crank case or oil pan has its
source usually at bolt holes in the oil
pan, a cracked or broken gasket be-
tween crank ase and oil pan or either
one of the two main end bearings.
Another source Is from the valve tap
pets or plungers. which, If worn, will
allow oil to seep to the motors exte-
rior, finally dripping off the bottom Of
the It base. In attempting to rem
edy this dripping, first tighten the cap
screws which secure the oil pan to the
rotor base. This usually corrects the
trouble.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swsmp-Root
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi,
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is q strengthening medi.
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by al druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..

the sum collected. The difference,
it is claimed by Justice Forgotson,

Bort states, amounted to 1886 exclu-

On Friday, the board will journey
