GOOD ROADS

IN it's editorial column the Indus
i trial Index notes that road build
ing has developed into great--a
really mendous-industry in Amer
lea. It is an industry with many
ramifications-the mining or man.
ufacturing of road-bridge building
materials; the transportation OF these
bulky commodities; the distribution
of these materials by agents and job
bers; the professional energy OF the
many engineers who have made a
special study of this branch of con-
struction; the activities of thousands
upon thousands of road and bridge
contractors; the armies of workmen
who are out on the firing line of
these innumerable projects. The in
vestment in road building, when con-
sidered in it's various aspects, is enor-
nous. And it will grow heavier with
each passing year."
1t will, indeed, grow heavier. Road
building is shortly to be the pre-
mier industry (not considering farm
ing) Of the United States. It will be
as much greater than is automobile
making, in the men and money re-
quired, as that industry, now the
first in this country, is greater than
railroading, which for so many years
held premier place.
And as we have scarce begun to
build roads!, In all our years of ma
tional existence we have succeeded in
building less than three hundred
thousand miles of improved roads,
although we have almost three mil
lion miles to improve Of course, the
need of roads was not felt until the
automobile demonstrated the economy
of a new transportation, but the
automobile is already old, men, and
women now in college do not remem-
Der when there were no automobiles
It is not enough that this country
build roads; it must build roads which
connect with each other, thus securing
the maximum use of each mile, and it
must build roads which last. As the
several states have found that only a
central State Highway Commission
can lay out and construct a state
highway system to which counties and
towns can build their feed roads, so
must the nation come to realize that
only central National Highways
Commission can lay out and build
(and forever maintain) a national
system of roads, to which states
can build, as part of their own sys-
TENS, those roads which will make the
national system serve all the people.
Ten years ago any sort of federal
participation in road building was
looked upon as a chimerical idea.
Since 1916 we have spent hundreds of
millions of dollars of federal money
for federal aid roads. In another
ten or twenty years we will spend not
hundreds of millions, but billion or
more, for national highways system
which will, indeed, lift America from
the mud.

Nature Lovers Delighted
In Sight At CObbOSSeecOntee

Lovers of nature who have been at
Lake Cobbosseecontee within the past
week are delighted with the sight
which may bo seen just above the
bridge at the Outlet. Here the square
tailed trout and the landlocked salmon
may be seen on their beds, and are
easily discerned through the water
which is usually clear at this spot.
This is the time Of year when the coll
oring of the fish is at the height of it's
glory and the silver and black of the
salmon is handsome in the sun. The
fish on the spawning beds are not east
ly frightened and one may watch them
and even stir the water about them and
they do not become disturbed. In fact
they seem to know that they are in no
danger. for this is the closed season
and they are protected by law. The
salmon run in size from four to Is
pounds, and probably a few larger.
The trout are just beginning to spawn,
but the eggs are not Matched until
spring. The trout run in size from one
to 10 pounds and are equally as beau
tiful to look at as the salmon, al
though they are not so easy to watch
as their beds are on the western shore
and not so easy to get to as the salmon
beds. 1t is really worth trip out to
the lake to watch the fish and study
their actions and to inspectthe beauti
full colorng.

Home Visitation
Canvass Saturday

For several weeks the various
churches of Gardiner and Randolph
have been preparing for the home
visitation canvas. Saturday after
noon, Nov. II, from > to P. NJ.
1t is. a complete religious census
of Randolph. Farmingdale. South
Gardiner and Gardiner. Every home
is to be visited and by two can
vassers. No two, canvassers are
from the same church,. All they
will want to know is the answers
to the questions printed on the card
which you find printed in today's
kennebec Journal.
If there are children in the family
the churches want to know whether
or not they attend a Sunday school.
If there are boarders. information
is desired as to their church prefer
ence. The cards are to be filled out
simply for this information.
Every church and religious faith
in the city is cooperating-Jew
Catholic and Observation-Disclosures
the canvass is absolutely non-secta-
rian and no church can claim any
advantage. There is no asking for
funds. no canvassers have anything
to sell. there will be no attempt at
PROSECUTING.
The work has been organized I'M
der the head of a general chair
man. Every pastor and Sunday
school superintendent makes up the
general committee. From the gen.
eral committee has been appointed
a finance committee, publicity
committee and committee on ge<
geography and boundaries.
The rom m ittap on cenUranhv h1 c
divided the whole community into
the wards and general districts. Over
each one of these general districts
has been appointed a ward cap
tain" Each general district has
been divided into sub-districts con-
tanning from so to 40 houses. To
each sub-district has been appointed
two canvaSsers. There are about 81
sub-districts in all. About 100 peo-
pie will make the canvass.
The canvassers are to call at each
door and in a pleasant way request
the information asked for on the
card. When the. information has
been obtained and the sub-district
canvassed, the canvassers are to re-
turn to the headquarters with their
cards. where the cards will be as
sorted into their various groups and
turned over to the pastors of the
churches in the city and Randolph.
If everyone who reads this will
make out the blank card printed in
this issue of the Kennebec Journal
and have it ready to hand the can
rassers 1t will save much time. II
you are planning to be away from
home it will help if you leave the
information at your nearest neigh
boris. If boarders will make out the
blank found in this paper and leave
/ it with the lady of the house it will
| also help.
Remember the date, SATURDAY.

Book Week Observed
at Gardiner Library

The Gardiner Publ. Library re-
ports that a great success is being
made of Children's Book week in the
local library. 1t is we'll worth while

Vided into four parts, each having
its own table in the reading room.

fifty copies in all. The books are All

tons add much to the meaning .of
finest editions are Last of the Mo-
hicans" by James Fenimore Cooper,
SCOTS Quentin Durward," an es-
pecially fine copy of Little Women"
English Literature for Boys and
Girls" is very instructive book and
is made interesting by the illustra-
tons of the different writer's. There
are four fine editions of Bible stories
and these are made as interesting
to the child as the fiction stories.
The famous classics are to be found
DIS wei as some OF Tue novels OF
school and college life which ap-
peared only this year, one OF the
best of the new books is True Ad-
ventures of the Secret Service" by
Major Russell of the United States
Secret Service, the author of this
book was the head of the American
Secret Service during the war, and
therefore is well suited for the task
of telling the ms and outs of the

ready to help parents In the selec-
ton of any of these books for their
children. and any of the books may
be purchased from the library dur
ing this week, and some of the books

hoped that parents will not only
furnish their children with books but
that they will see that they are the
right kind of books. The National
