PUBLIC ROADS

TROPHIES FOR ROAD MAKERS ■ x - < ■ Manitoba Adopts Unique Plan for in. T creasing Good Highways In yT ~ That Province,. The present European struggle demonstrates in no uncertain fashion the advantages of good roads, and proves conclusively that the highways allowing the most traffic and standing the most wear are equally important whether they were built during , the reign of the Caesars or the present day. To stimulate the good roads movement the Manitoba government te doing its best in everyway. Many roads have been put under the highways act, which means that the government is willing to go 50-50 with any progres-

One of the Trophies Provided by Manitoba to Increase interest In Good Roads.

slve municipality as far as the making of Its roads are concerned. To further stimulate the good roads Idea the Majaitoba-government has had made two silver .trophies, to be competed for annually through the province, one for gravel,roads, the other for earth, says Manitoba" Free Press. Both bear on their surfaces a handwrought scene, showing In relief the Appian way, over which St Paul passed on his way to Rome and which still te In use. The trophy for the earth class has, in addition to the Appian way scene, a log drag with horses attached.

SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS

Every Farmer Must Do Hie Part'll) i; KeOplng Highways Dragged—- • f Work Is Appreciated. The secret of good roads is for every farmer to do bis part in keeping them dragged, according to the Lyman County Farm Bureau News. .County Agent Lewallen writes, further: “Road dragging fits in about the best of any work on the farm, for a fellow can drag for a few hours when it is too wet to get into the field, and he certainly appreciates having it when it is time to go to town with the wagon or the auto. Farmers who have dragged the roads have the thanks of-all other farmers in the country and the praise of all visitors. But the roll of honor should be .increased. frc , < “It seems queer that-so easily constructed an implement as a road drag can create such’ wonders on heavy roads. The best way to convince yourself is to drag your own stretch of road. If you have already dragged it every farmer who has gone over It is talking about It and wishing to goodness that you had gone on a couple of miles farther.”

OUTLOOKFOR ROAD MAKING

.Rather Dubious on Account of Shortage of Labor—Decided Reforms Should Be Made. With the shortage of labor for roadmaking and the more general use of the roads for heavy hauling, it is likely that the roads as they exist will not be able to withstand the hard usage, and the outlook is dubious for the automobile. Many industrial companies are making use-of fleets of trucks to deliver their goods, instead of subjecting themselves to-the uncertainties of the railroad service and the wear and tear on the roads thus made use of is mere than they can take care of. This, ever, makes ft evident that there should be some very decided reforms made in the matter of road building. The makeshift repairs which have heretofore been made are not now sufficient, and all new road-build-ing work should be made on the most substantial lines. *

Roads for Children.

School children need roads so they may get to school and back without sticking in the mud or getting lost in the woods on the way home.

Farmers Must Have Roads.

Farmers must go to town to sell and to buy supplies, hence they must have some sort of

REMINGTON SCHOOL NOTES.

The dedication ibf the high school service flag, which was to have been held Wednesday afternoon, was postponed until Friday afternoon. count of health conditions in Remington it was deemed inadvisable to have a public dedication, so only the high school pupils and faculty will be present at the. memorial services. The principal address of the afternoon was to have bee ngiven by Mr. Geo. Williams, of Rensselaer. The rest of the program will be carried out as planned. . • . The flag contains one gold star, in honor of Dewey McGlynn, who made the supreme sacrifice on the battlefields of France, and thirty-six blue stars for the following high school boys in the service: Chester Besse, Harold Bartoo, Vernon Balcom, Roy Brooks, George Baldwin, Hughes Cornwell, Arthur Cowgill, Alonzo Cowgill, George Denham, Roscoe Eller, Maurice Eek, Adrian Foster, Frank Foster, Harry Howard, Harold.

Basket Ball.—AdditaonaJ games are scheduled with Kentland, Goodiand, Earl Park and Brookston.

Miss Shand has taken up her residence at Henry Walker’s. :: Miss Lambert is rooming at the home of Miss Pearl Baxter. The girls’ basket ball team held its first practice Monday night. They weYe ably coached by Miss Kolb. The eighth grade giris also have a team. An attempt was made ,by some “well-meaning” citizen to have the basket ball games and practice declared a nuisance. Now that the war te over, some people find it difficult to rest easy. Try to help the boys instead of hindering them. Remember that you, tob, were young once. The- association has rented the second floor of the Townsend building and are moving iheir besket bal leqUipment from the Morin building to their new quarters. Teacher:-—Well, Louise, how many newly acquired words have you added to ybUr vocabulary? Louise Three. Teacher:—-Let's hear them. Louise:—Wait a minute. I’d! have to get my note book. Bob Stoudt visited school Tuesday. One of our restless Sophomores 'has .been assigned a front Seat this week. The decorations in the assembly room still retain memories of Miss Bonham. Patriotism is all right, but we would like to have a change of bunting once a year. All the Sophs., Juniors and Seniors were invited to English 7X class Monday. Some of them discovered that there were some things about pronunciation that they dad not know. Some classes are rather slam this week. Can any one explain why Tom, Jake, Charley and Lloyd seem to have lost al linterest in recesses? The “Argus” this week Was edited by .Cornelius Dexter. “Dexter” means right in Latin, so we think that Cornelius is “right” there as an editor, even though the reference to him did a ‘tyarn.” „
