SENTIMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Governors of Twenty-Two Western
States Petition for Increased An
nual Appropriation.
If the passage of the Townsend hill
depended on the support from Western
states the measure calling for a na
tional system of highways would be
come law by an overwhelming major
tty. says a representative of a large
rubber concern.
At Salt I.ake City recently governors
of 22 states signed a petition, which will
be forwarded to congress, to Increase
Immensely the annual appropriation
for road-bulldlng, to be expended dur
ing the next five years.
While the Townsend bill asks for
$425,000,000, their petition calls for a
billion dollars. The Western gover
nors not only indorse the biil as men,
but as governors of their respective
states. This action reflects plainly
what the West thinks of the necessity
of highways and furnishes an influ
ence which cannot be overlooked. The
West has gone on record as being will
ing to stand its share of the cost
of a system of nationally administered
roads, and the share will be a big
one.
RURAL ROADS NOT IMPROVED
Not More Than One-Fourth of 1 Per
Cent of Nation’s Roads Suitable
for Motor Traffic.
Official figures show that there are
in the United States approximately
r,00.000 miles of rural roads of which
12 per cent are classed as improved.
Road engineers, however, estimate that
no more than one-fourth of 1 per rein
of the nation’s roads are suitable for
motortruck traffic. More than 6,000,
000 motor vehicles are now using the
highways, and of this number about
500,000 are trucks varying from less
than a ton capacity to vehicles capa
ble of hauling five to seventeen loads.
The most conspicuous example of
anything approaching the efficiency of
a national thoroughfare in the United
States is the Lincoln highway. Or
ganized as a private enterprise six
years ago. to stimulate good-road
building, the officers of the association
have raised several million dollars by
private subscription and have stimu
lated tiie improvement of many sec
tions of the highway by the states and
counties through which it passes.
SLIDING SHOES SAVE ROADS
Wooden Device Tightly Fastened to
Rear Wheel Does Much to Pre
vent Ruts Forming.
After a road which has steep grades
is carefully repaired, it is disconcert
ing to see heavy wagons going down
the hills with one or both rear wheels
tightly clamped by the brake, grinding

along the roadway and cutting ruts.
On a stretch of road which had suf
fered greatly from this cause, heavy
wagons were provided with a sliding
shoe, which was placed under one rear
wheel when descending'a hill, to fur
nish braking action. The other wheel
revolved and prevented side siip. The

Health
About
Gone
Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
of Hayne, N. C. “1 could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,”
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had u*
get Cardui. . . 1 began
improving, and it cured
me. 1 know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”
TAKE
ARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: 411
am in splendid health . . .
can do my work. I feel 1
owe it to Cardui, for 1 was
in dreadful condition.”
if you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.

BIG PROBLEM IN ROAD WORK
Not to Show Need of Improved High
ways or to Raise Money, but to
Spend Funds Properly.
The value of roads to a rural district
is becoming more and more apparent
The modern problem in road work 1
not to show the need of good roads or

before the whole country is to organ
ize so the funds in sight can he pro]
orly spent. No longer will the iui.n

lected. But it must be remembered
that with over 2,000,000 miles of road.'
in the United States that it is not a
problem to be solved in a month or a
year or in several years.
Road Building Rocks.
In building roads the rocks selectee
should possess three qualities: Hard
ness to resist wear; toughness to resisi
fracture: and binding power to ce
ment rock fragments.
