A COMMUNITY NEED

Publishers of country newspapers
have thankless sort of grind. Week
after week the Main street editor ex'
horts to his cohorts to trade at home
while the very folks he is working
for are sending to the mail order
printer. Week after week he lies
for his home town-never calling
things by their right names unless
the names really are pleasant to
speak. So nobody can blame US for
applauding any word of praise
for US.
Such word Of praise is an arti-
Gle by John F. Cunningham, presi-
dent Of the Wisconsin Agriculturist,
Of Racine, Wis. Mr.. Cunningham
says:
There is clear and definite line
Of work for the local weekly news
paper. From no other source can
the intimate, personal and business
news of the small town community
be obtained.
There was q period during which
the small town newspaper seemed to
be smothering under the increasing
circulation of the city dailies. The
city daily does not and cannot de-
vote space to matters Of immediate
interest to the small town and the
surrounding country. We may say
therefore, that while in the great
wall of news that confronts us from
day to day, the large stones and
bricks will always be furnished by
tho city dailies, thru the various
news services that cover the entinre
world, the chinks and the cement will
ever be furnished by the local,
country pnre~s' news from nearby,
the IL ma; Sna't- thrGbs that come
from the loe.., business, social, civic
- tome activities.
..very town owes to tself to en-
courage good, enterprising, wide
awake progressive newspaper. Such
publications are worth far more to
the town than the town
usually realizes. By supporting. l
mean not only subscribing to the pa
per and reading it, but also helping
it to get the news, by using it as a
medium Of public discussion and by
patronizng its advertising columns.
In too many instances the good,
local paper is taken as a matter OF
coRse-abont as we consider the act
ofNating when meal time comes.
But the town which has no me-
dium of local news or for the ex-
preston Of local opinion is barren

TO HIGHWAY
SAFETY OUTLINED

George NJ. Graham, vice president
of the Chandler Motor Car Co., in
an address before the tenth annual
conference Of highway engineers at
Ann Arbor university, said that there
were five things to be done to make
highways safe for present-day traf-
fic. These are:
/. Take away the cars Of the care
less drivers.
=. Punish the reckless and intoxi-
Gated operators until they recognize
the rights of the great majority of
law-abiding and careful motorists.
3. Investigate accident causes,
which newspapers thruout the coun-
try are now helping to do, to point
the way for proper remedies.
A. Give safety education in the
schools.
s.. Make thoro analysis of traffic
movement; regulations and facilities
are needed in each city.

SIT STEADY IN THE BOAT

Politics will soon be sizzling. AL
ready the pre-convention forces are
beginning to form their lines. Then
will come the fight for choice with
in the parties when with the stage
all set and limelight turned on, the
candidates will be ready to wage
! their war for supremacy at the polls.
We have our political convictions.
Presumably most of our readers
have theirs. Some may agree with
US, others may not. Party contest
and difference in opinion is the
pulse of American life and achieve
ment. How bitter the coming fight
is to be no man can foretell. Is
sues, always greater than men, are
more or less clouded at present. AS
they unfold themselves in the party
platforms one will be better able to
measure the vital differences in
thought. Whatever these differences
may be, however,. whatever be the
heat of political debate, let US not
forget that when the die is cast the
American nation is destined for an
other step forward, that art will i'm
prove, that literature will be more
refined. that commerce will be
greater, that invention will be more
ingenious; in brief, that no political
victory can stop the progress Of the
greatest nation in the world.
With such belief in the hearts of
the people we view with calm the
nearing party disturbances. 1t is
only when such belief is lacking, and
thoughtlessly so, that business suf-
fers because of "the unsettled con-
dtons due to politics." Whether we
be Republicans, Democrats, Inde-
pdendents or what not, let us remem-
Der we are all stockholders in the
great corporation Of America, and
that, like all other corporations, this
one in which we are most interested
will respond to public confidence and
to optimistic conviction. We need
no unsettled conditions" in this
country and we are foolish il we
bring them about by false mental
attitude or loose talk. The business
structure is all set for great and
sound prosperity, and if We are wise
we will not thoughtlessly upset the
apple cart.
Fight as hard as you will for your
CONVICTIONS. but always with the
fixed knowledge that America will
continue to prosper no matter which
way the cat jumps.

BEAUTIFUL ROADS IMPOSSIBLE
WITH PRESENT ADVER-
TISINC METHODS

No matter how good the road sur
face, the scenery cannot be consid-
cred enjoyable if interrupted and
confused in the eye of the beholder
by a succession of vividly painted
advertising signs. The movement to
bcautify highways by elimination Of
sign advertising gathers force, but
meets strenuous resistance from
those who contend that man has
the right to rent the land he owns
for the erection Of sign, the rent
of which will pay his taxes.
Regulation, rather than elimina-
ton. is the compromise favored by
advertising companies which secure
sign rights to roadside property and
resell the space to advertisers. They
contend that the signs cannot be
eliminated legally but can be regu-
lated AS to size, color. distance and
beauty.
In this connection, it is interest
ing to observe that Kansas City, NO.,
in preparing for the convention of
100000 Shriners next June. started
an anti-sign movement sponsored by
the Merchants association. Nearly
all of its members signed the peti.
,ion. Many other business men en-
listed and some of the largest and
most offensive signs already have
, been taken down voluntarily. The pro.
posed ordinance may include street
clocks, barber poles. news and shoe
shine stands, and other sidewalk OBJ

BALLOON TIRES HELP ROADS

The balloon tire is as yet too new
to tell its own story, but some of
the reasons urged against it by it's
opponents do not seem warranted by
facts. Misled, perhaps, by the un-
doubted fact that the pneumatic tire
caused great destruction to the then
common type Of hard road. the
water-bound macadam, conservatives
now state that the balloon tire with
its greatly increased size of wearing
surface. will cause damage to roads
of other than cement or brick sur
face.
This is not borne out by facts al
ready recorded Of other wide tire
bearing surfaces. Heavy trucks
equipped with double wheels and
flat, solid tires. do no damage to the
surface Of the highways they use,
whether that surface be oil-treated
or tar-impregnated stone, stand-clay,
shell, concrete, brick or cement. Road
damage done by such vehicles Is from
blows or pressure and not fpnm sur
face wear. 1t is. with the modern
road, almost always the weight or
the blow which damages the road and
seldom or never the abrasion Of the
surface.
According to this, the balloon tire
should preserve rather than injure
roads. since its lessencd air prcssure
increases the elasticity Of the cushion
between the road and the weight. and
therefore decreases the force Of any
blow struck by the wheel.

Why Roman Roads Lasted

Sometimes the harassed taxpayer,
when faced with the immediate pos
sibility of paying assessments, in
quires regarding the permanent high
ways of which he has read so much,
says the American City. Perhaps,
too, if he is a student of history, he
may remark with feeling that the APP
plan way built by the Romans has
lasted for some 2,000-odd years and
that the pavements of other ancient
peoples are still in existence.
These old pavements certainly are
in existence, to the credit of the old
road builders, but it is true also that
they have never been subjected to
modern traffic. Also they were built
of solid masonry sometimes several
feet thick, and recent rough esti-
mates have developed the fact that
it would cost something like $780,
600 mile to reproduce the famous
Appian way under present costs and
conditions. No wonder these high
ways Msted 1000 Years, and no
wonder we do not initiate them.

4 GREEN LAKE HATCHERY.
VIII BE Continued as Auxiliary to
Craig Brook Plant.

The government fish hatchery at
Green Lake is to be continued as an
auxiliary to the Craig Brook hatch
cry, says Acting Commissioner Rad
cliffe of the bureau of fisheries, in
letter in response to the efforts made
by the Bangor chamber of commerce,
and other friends of the hatchery, for
its continuance Mr. Lewis writes:
On account Of the unsatisfactory
water supply, uneconomical operation
and the heavy outlay necessary for
continuing work there, the Green
Lake station was closed about two
years ago. 4 considerable expenditure
would have been required for the con-
struction of a new hume, general main
tenance and repairs if the station was
to be operated.
The matter was presented to Con
gress and authority received to close
the station, which is now, however. be
ing operated as 4 sub-statjon of the
| Craig Brook hatchery. This has re
/ suited in a considerable saving of
! funds and it is believed that the bu-
reau will be able in this way to meet
! all reasonable demands for fish in the
State of Maine
The bureau intends to continue
operating the Greene Lake station as
an auxiliary to Craig Brook, but does
not expect TO again make of it an in
dependent unit
