HOW FARMER WAS CONVERTED
9
Conversion Began When He Realized
Value of Good Roadt In Lessening
Cost of Transportation.
When the good roods cunipulgn fol
lowed close upon the wider UHe of au
tomobiles ninny furraers grumbled
about the prospect of high tuxutlon,
which they ascribed to an endeavor
to benefit city motor owners at the ex
pense of the rurnl community.
When the furmer begun to buy au
tomobiles himself he experienced a
chnnge of heart. Ills conversion real
ly begun when ho realized the value
of good ronds in lessening the cost of
transportation to himself. Rural mull
delivery helped, the roads hnd to be
better so that the carrier could "get
through."
The farmer sliouM be even more
fully reconciled to the good roads de
velopment when he loams, as he nuiy,
thut a large percentile of the license
fees pnld by both city and rurul nu
tomoblllsts goes straight Into the good
roads fund.
In the United States, 00 per cent
of the license money goes Into the
building and maintenance of state and
country roads, and this sum defrays 7
per cent of the total for road and
bridge building. Steps In this direc
tion have already been taken by most
of the Canadian provinces, and good
roads expenditures are gradually on
the Increase along with the Increase
In the number of automobiles.
SUGGESTION FOR GOOD ROAD
Easy Way to Put Roof on Dirt Road Is
to Keep It Dragged After Drain
ing and Dragging.
A correspondent of nr. eastern agri
cultural paper suggests U.H, Inasmuch
ns it Is water which make, i nd roads,
the easy way to have good ''.ids Is to
put a roof over them. Thci Is this
to be said for his suggestion, t.-i.r If a
roof were put over our country j vi'l.s,
It would not ouly keep water oft of It,
but would give us a nice, shady drie
during the six months of the year when
wo would appreciate It. The trouble
Is that the cost of putting up such a
roof as he lias In mind, ami maintain
ing It, would fur exceed the cost of
making n really flrst-cluss hard-surfaced
road, which would need no roof.
The easy way to put n roof over the
dirt road Is to keep It properly dragged
after It has been drained and graded,
nays Wallace's Farmer. Water Is the
must accommodating thing In the
world. It will run off If you will give
It half n chance. P. Ward King, tho
apostle of the split-log drag, put the
Fraker Stinsoa.
Ralph Emerson Fraker, son of
the lateJ. Wesley Fraker, of
Fort Littleton, and Miss Lillian
Carrie Stinson, daughter of
Easton Stinson, of Burnt Cabins,
were married at the M. E. par
sonage in McConnellsburg by
Rev. Edward Jackson on Mon
day, January 7, 1918. The grocm
is a member of an engineering
company at Camp Lee, Va.
Mellolt-MellolL
John Lee Vernon Mellott son
of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Mellott,
of Needmore, was married at
McConnellsburg on Wednesday
of last week to Miss Bessie Jean
nette Mellott daughter of the
late Daniel A. Mellott of the
same place.
Orlen Mock, of this place, RuEh
Wagner, of Knobsville, and
Ralph Fraker of Fort Littleton
all soldier boys at Camp Lee spent
a few days at their respective
homes on furlough during the
past week.
That's Why.
"flyers Is a changed man since he
bought that place In the country.
When he lived In the city he used to be
too lazy to hang up the pictures when
he moved from one apartment to an
other, but now he's always pottering
about his house and grounds, making
some Improvement or other." "Maybe
he's trying to fix the place up o he
can sell It again."
King Road Drag.
requisites of the good road Into three
words: Hard, oval, smooth. That Is
all there Is to a good road.
Our problem In the corn belt Is to
get that kind of a roud without paying
more than it Is worth to us. We can
not have a hard, oval and smooth dirt
road If we continue our stupid practice
of piling up In the middle a mass of
uupucked fresh dirt and sod. Last
week we saw a very good roud ruined
by filling the center with fresh sod
from the sides. That should be made
a criminal offense. The sod holds the
water Just where we do not want It,
and Just where It will do the most
dumage. It should be thrown to one
side, and nothing but clear dirt put on
the road bed, and this should be packed
firmly as soon as put on. The more
grass roots and sod on the rood, the
hurder to make It a good road.
Gradually, hard-surfaced roads will
come In the neighborhood of cities and
the larger towns of the state ; but dur
ing the lifetime of the present genera
tion at lenst, most of our roads must
be made of dirt. If we can once really
grasp the principle of putting a roof on
the dirt road by the use of the drag
and drainage, we will have made a long
step forward. The next step will be to
oil the road, and thus make the roof
more nearly waterproof. Such a road
properly maintained Is the best and
most comfortable road In the world;
for it Is not ouly hard, oval and smooth
but elastic as well.
One-Quarter for Labor.
In 1904, out of the total road and
bridge expenditure, $20,000,000 of the
$80,000,000 was paid In labor that is,
worked out on the roads.
Expensive Treatment.
Rough treatment Is expensive, for
It reduces the milk flow as well as
making a vicious cow.

There is, perhaps, no bit of
news that is more generally
scanned than the "Honor Roll."
It is read with interest by those
who have paid subscription re
cently that they may be sure they
have proper credit; it is read by
advertisers, who are quick to
know that the man or woman
who pays promptly for his news
