WILL YOUR ROAD STAY
OPEN THIS WINTER?
Cold and Wet Weather Brings
Yearly Transportation Problem.

a good road with boulder
blocking it is of no more value than
if it did not exist. For boulder"
read SNOW and get the problem
which the middle and northern
half of the United States has to
face every year. A good road COW
cred with deep snow is of no more
value than if it did not exist!
The Bureau of Public Roads of
the Department of Agriculture
makes a definite effort each year to
try to interest more and more high
way officials in the matter of keep
ing snow bound roads open to traf-
fic More and more every year
both State highway departments
and county road officials are seeing
the wisdom of spending some money
for snow removal.
Experiment has proved that
snow plough attached to a wagon
and pulled by two or four horses,
can clear, ineXpensively, enough OF
a highway of snow to enable 1t to
be used. On very well Travelled
roads n complete snow removal is
necessary, but for many highways
a partial snow shOveling meets the
demands of the traffic, naturally
lowered in amount by cold weather.
1t is slowly but surely becoming
recognized that the main roads are
as much needed to keep down the
cost of living and keep up the doing
of business as are the main streets
of cities and towns. The individual
shOvels his own snow path from
door to street; the town shoulders
the responsibility of keeping the
street open to traffic; why should
not the county keep its main trunk
line roads open and the State do
the same service for its principal
highways?
In its last analysis it is up to the
voter; if he wants open roads he
can have them by saying so. If he
wants to save money by being
showed up, he is the greatest suf-
ferer

"MEND THE ROADS BEFORE
1T NEEDS 1T" SLOGAN
Good Highways Stay Good by Con-
slant Care.

A man who spent twenty-five
thousand dollars for a house and
contents and refused to spend hun
dred dollars to stop the leak In the
roof. which spoiled both, would be
considered a fool. But there are
many counties and many states
which spend from ten to twenty
five thousand dollars a mile for
good road, and refuse the hundred
dollars year needed to keep it IN
perfect order.
The time to begin to repair a good
road is the day it is opened to traf-
fic Homely philosophy says that
stitch in time saves nine, and road
experience proves that a bucket OF
oil, little sand, a few rocks, and
a man with a shovel now can save
the expense of a whole road gang
and expensive machinery later
The modern road consists of a
foundation course of stone, smaller,
lighter course on top, wearing
course of still smaller stones, a
binder of oil and sand, and perhaps
a top dressing of the same. AS long
as the structure is complete, the road
will wear. But let time, or a too
heavy road, or frost, or some other
cause, dig a hole through the wear
ing course into the foundation, and
the bad spot" will begin to
"ravel." Stones will break away
and roll down in the ditch, the sur
face will disintegrate and in a COM
paratively short time a large and
lougn hole appears.
A good road is no better than Its
worst mile. A mile of holes ano
ruts cuts down the usefulness of ten
miles of good road. To repair
large hole costs much money. T(
inspect the road often and stop VI
the little hole when it starts is very
inexpensive. The greatest city fire
in history could have been put out
by child with a cup of water II
found in time. So can the worst
possible damage to roads be inexpen-
sively prevented, if the maintenance
is begun in time.

Every man, woman, and child IN
the United States has a personal
interest in good roads.
The farmer and the motorist
have the most immediate and prac-
teal interest, but the interest of
others is no less vital that it ex-
presses an indirect relation.
The farmer wants good roads be-
cause he can make more money
with good roads than with poor
roads. If the farmer can make
more money, he spends more,
which means greater prosperity for
the whole nation. And if he can
do with less money, good roads en-
able him TO sell his products for
less and still make as much as at
present; that means lower prices
for food.
Every one who lives in rural
or suburban location Is interested in
good roads, because they decrease
the time distance which separates
the rural or suburban home from
the city. Every rural or suburban
dweller needs to get to the city
sometime; the less the time distance
the less it costs.
Every one who lives in a city
wants at times to get into the
country. The good road is the
means. If there are no good roads,
there is a sharp line drawn between
city and country, which makes for
the good of neither.
The more good roads the more
travel. The more travel, the more
understanding of people by their
neighbors, and the less possible is
misunderstanding strife, rivalry, or
political discord.
Roads are a part of the founda-
ton of Americanism. Let us all
work to make that foundation
broad and long and lasting.

BUSINESS THROUGH THE AIR.

The American public will soon
realize the fuller benefits of an in
ternational radio service tying in
Europe, South America and the
Orient, according to Edward j.
NaHy, managing director of Interna-
tional Relations for the Radio Cor
poration of America.
Already huge plans for South
America are in progress, and a
super power station has been erected
in Buenos Aires for communication
with North America, England,
France and Germany. Similar high
power stations are being erected
near Rio de JaneirO, in Brazil with
feeder stations of medium power at
Pernambuco and Para.
The two great stations will be the
pivotal center of South America
radio communication, and from
these two points signals will radiate
to all parts Of the globe.
According to Mr.. Nally, this
world wide system of radio will ma
terially assist in stimulating inter-
and more friendly relations between
all the countries of the world; and
with the completion of the plans for
world wide wireless telegraphy there
will soon follow program for per-
haps equally stupendous interna-
tional radio telephone service. In
this latter scheme the engineers of
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Company and those of the Radio
Corporation of America are collab-
Grating

NEWS BUREAU
THE MANUFACTURER
TOO MODEST TO SPEAK

In times of trouble, personal
jealousies, animosity and misunder-
standings between people or nations
are lots in the common desire of
humanity to help those in trouble.
The latest illustration of this uni
versal feeling is now witnessed in
the desire to help Japan.
During the San Francisco earth
quake, Japan contributed over half
the money subscribed by foreign ma
tons which totaled nearly $500, 600.
This action on her part was all
the more notable and extraordinary
due to the fact that she was at that
time poor and exhausted by her
foreign wars.
In the present great emergency
the story of her wonderful response
in behalf of the San Franciso Suf-
ferers,, giving as she did more than
all the rest of the world put to-
gether, outside of the United States,
cannot be too highly praised.
The Japanese themselves are too
modest to speak of it and for some
reason tn estory of her wonderful
liberality is almost never mentioned.
As a powerful and wealthy ma
ton, we can return her generous
assistance many fold and never
notice it.
AS her afflication is many times
worse than the San Francisco dis
aster, generous action upon our part
is essential to express our gratitude.

HER FIRST VISIT To THE
 WHITE HOUSE

Mrs. Coolidge, now mistress of the White House, must smile a bit when she thinks of her first visit to | the executive mansion nineteen years or so ago.
 She was then Miss Grace Good hue, a New Englanda school teacher Please step on," the White House policeman told her and other visitors when she paused to admire the gold-covered grand piano in the east room.
 She stepped on", interested in her view of the White House, but little thinking she would return some day to make it her home. Miss Goodhue had come to Washington on tourist trip during the Easter vacation. A number of New Eng land teachers were in the party in- specting the White House. It was Roosevelt's administration. The gold piano which Miss Goodhue ad- mired was then new, gift to the White House. The same piano is still there. Now, instead of being admonished to keep hands off, she may, if she wishes. thump on its keys to her hearts content, and without having to "step sn'. Ma ional Republican.

WONDERS OF AMERICA

When the resources of Alaska shall have approximated adequate development it truly will have won in perpetuity its claim to be called the wonderland of America. In pie turesque beauty, grandeur, and wealth it is already such a wonder land. Nor Switzerland, nor Italy can vie with the mountain scenery of Alaska. No country in the world can equal it's lakes and forests, its mighty woodlands and it's imperial valleys, its glaciers, or the glamour Of that romance which was wrought by the hardy men who dared this glorious northland and won it for our own.
 One day-and that day is not far distant-Alaska will shelter a teem- ing and prosperous population. Its cities will rival Petersburg, Moscow Copenhagen; its wealth will make long traverse over modern railways and on the flood of mighty rivers to it's amply harbored coasts. In that day the Alps and Pyrenees will no longer lure our tourists to lesser majesty of mountain scenes. - Cir cinnatf.

Use of Milk Increases.

An editorial published in the Philadelphia North American points to the fact that perhaps no one thus
 far has given thought to any connec-
 ion between the dry law and dairy ing, yet the fact that during the
 first year of the operation of the eighteenth amendment our per cap ita consumption of milk in his coun- try increased from forty-three to
 forty-nine gallons-a rise of 14 per cent, as revealed by the government figures just published-offers food
 for such thought, and at the same time provides a really strong argu- ment for prohibition. For to replace a class of beverages for which even their most strenuous supporters never claimed any constructive nu- tritiye properties with the one drink which, above all others, sup plies the nearest approach to a con- plete food is a matter Of tremendous meaning. And thefigur es for 1922, now available, show a continued in rcease in the consumption of milk and dairy products.
