J GOOD ROADS ? The Economy of Good Roxis. The latest Issue of the Front Roy al Impartial Reporter contains a very pertinent editorial arltcle on lie economical aspect of good roads reform. It says: "The plea "that good roads are 'too costly" belongs only to the cheap statesman, the mossback, and such oldfashioned publications as the Joy ville Clarion. It has no place In the consideration of the problem of mod-' em building. The primary purpose in securing goofl roads Is to eliminate the enor mous and everlasting cost of bad roads. .Modern country roads bear the same relation to the rural dis tricts as paved streets bear to the dtle*, Paved streest for municipali ties are, first of all, a business prop osition. The comfort and convenient aUvrded by them is a matter of sec ondary consideration. No city coulJ be built on mud streets. Neither tan agricultural communities be de veloped on mud roads. And any con ,<JiUofl that retards the fullest de velopment of country life is an ex pense that spells ruin and bankrup tecy in the end. "The old wooden plow could be purchased for less than the modern Implements used to break the soil. But no farmer could maintain his j'arm with a wooden plow. It would prove too costly an experiment. The ox team could be purchased for less pjoney than the draft horses cost, J>ut the ox team has been abandan ,?d as an expense that no modern farmer couiq sianu. "Mud roads retain the same rela tion to modern progress as the ?wooden plow and the ox team. Vir ginia wastes $1,000,000 every year on mud roads. It is a system of 'throw ing good money after bad money in an attempt to 'improve' roads that ut*>-d to be rebuilt, and after millions fiave been wasted in this manner the ,-arae old mud roads exist. Nothing is left to show for all the expense. "The $10,000,000 Virginia has lost in the mud holes of Its counter roads in the past ten years woirtd >iave given the State an excellent system of permanent highways. It would have meant an investment that would now be paying big dividends to the farm owners of that State.'' That is the common sense of the ??ase. The failure to construct good roads is equivalent to a tremendous waste of money. Good roads, we 6ay again, are the cheapest roads.? Richmond Times Dispatch. Waste Acres in Bad Roads. The National Magazine estiates the road mileage in ten States at eeven hundred thousand miles. The ten states named are Minnesota, Wis consin, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Ne braska. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The width of the public high ways in the ten states averages six ty-six feet. The National Magazine ifgtiates that the roads could be re duced In wld'" to thirty feet and atlll leave thirty-six feet for a pub lic highway, and restore to the pub lic for farm purposes nearly two and alf million acres of land. Es timating the land value at an average Of $100 per acre, the total would be ($250,000,000. j "This sum," says the National Magazine, "has an annual interest value of twelve and one half million dollars, an amount which with great advantage might be recovered and if applied to the proper scientific con struction of roads in the United States would in a few years give us the most extensive and finest coun try road system that the world has /pver known." The suggestion is replete with pos sibilities in helping to solve the problem of good roads. It might be feasible under a system of modern highways to restore the excess to the farms. The average width of macadam roads is sixteen feet. It would appear as a reasonable as sumption that with a rock road six teen feet wide, but a few feet of land on each side the roadway would be needed. Dut with the present sys tem of mud roads there are several months in each year in which the Sixty-six feet allotted to the high way is wholly inadequate to escape the mudholes. Whatever else there may be in the suggestion of the National Magazine, It is interesting in its revelation of a feature heretofore given but little consideration in measuring the tre mendous waste Involved In the main tenance of bad roads.?Kansas City Star. Good Roads and Better Schools. ? ? I^Jgan Waller Page, Director of the Office of Good Roads. United States Dep.irtent of Agriculture, has writ ten an article for the National Grange In which he discusses the in fluence of roads on schools. Good toads, he believes, would revolution- j I lze the rural schools. Mr. Page contrasts "the lot of the country child on his way to school ir. winter with that of the city child 1 with only a few blocks of paved streets to walk." Here is the rural 1 situation as he pictures it: "Our country child, with satchel ov- | er shoulders and lunch basket in hand, must leave the cheerful friends of home from half an hour to an 1 hour before school opens In order to be there on time. The roads are wet and muddy many months of the 1 year. The country Is open and the;1 cold winds are unmerciful in their at- ! tacks upon him. So that, by the | time he reaches the schoolhouse. i | which is often unscientifically ventl- | lated and poorly heated, his feet are 1 so cold and his body so chilled that he is unfit for study or recitation ^1 most of the day, and the exposure j and chilling of the body invite pneu-, monla and other diseases. "These conditions cause broken and irregular attendance. They create an j aversion in the child for the school room Instead of a pride In punctual attendance and studious advance ent." " * ! These conditions, It is well known t materially cut own the attendance '? ill the rural schools and, as Mr. Page : points out, it is of little avail to pass ' compulsory attendance laws until j there Is substantial road improve ment Good roads constitute an Im portant factor in the movement for popular education. The matter is one that should not be overlooked I by those who are striving for educa tional progress. The lack of good roads in any sec tions of Kentucky has been a seri ous hindrance to the work of the schools. That is also the case in many other States. Most of our teachers are in a position to know from experience the truth of the statement made by Mr. Page. They are also in a position to expound the good roads doctrine to good effect and they ought to it.?Louisville Courier Journal. I ! WORLD'S FAMOUS DYSPEPSIA PRESCRIPTION. i It Drives Awav Stomach Distress in A Few Minutes. Stops Heartburn And Belching. If you have anything the matter ; with your stomach you ought to ! know right now that MI-O-NA stom ach tablets are guaranteed by Hood Bros to cure indigestion or any sick ness caused by indigestion, such as . the following, or money back: Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi- j ness, nervousness, sour stomach, fer- j mentation of food, belching of gas, > heavy feeling at pit of stomach, vo miting of pregnancy. If your meals don't digest but lie like a lump of lead in your stomach; I if you have foul breath and loss of aj> petite, a few Mi-O-NA tablets will put your stomach in fine shape in short order. If you or any of your family suf fer from stomach trouble of any kind, get a 50 cent box of MI-O-NA stom-, ach tablets at once. Hood Bros, and druggists everywhere sell MI-O-NA on money back plan. "I was cured of dyspepsia that had ! assumed the nervous form, by the J use of MI-O-NA and I praise MI-O- , NA highly. My trouble got me weak, and nervous so that I could not j sleep: the bowels were constipated, I and I had sharp, shooting pains j through the kidney regions. and hard dull, backaches. MI-O-NA is , worth its weight in gold."?Walter Tebo, St. Clair, Mich. i RIVERSIDE WAVES. Princeton, R. F. D. No. 2, Sept. 13.?Rev.
