THE HIGHWAYS OF TOMORROW

Great Interest in Good Roads Is Aroused by Needs of War. One hundred and ten millions of dollars to be spent on permanent roads in five years—such is the alottment made by the states of Illinois and Pennsylvania in the recent elections, with similiar sums likely to be voted soon by ifaany of their sister states. Sixty 'millions was Illinois’ share, to be paid entirely by automobile and motor truck owners during the next twenty years without resorting to general taxation. This is just one indication erf the great interest in good roads aroused by the transportation meeds during the great war just past. People are now awakening to the fact that the best investment they can make is in the construction of good roads, -permanent roads, and roads wide enough to permit two automobiles or trucks to pass in safety. Along with this tremendous increase in popularity of good roads has come the development of new and better types of pavement, each singularly adapted to the varying needs of heavy and light city and country traffic. At Detroit, Mich., a new type of .pavement particularly adapted for the use of automobiles has been developed. It is called “rubber stone,” land is a crushed limestone varying in size from one-half inch down to dust, impregnated with deliquesent or moisture-collecting and retaining chemicals. It is placed loose on the road to a thickness of 5 /Inches, and rolled to a smooth, compact surface —elastic, dustless, noiseless and weedless* and easy to take up and replace when it is necessary to get at pipes or wires beneath the pavement. , With the adoption; of efficient methods of construction and maintenance for all the roads soon to be built by the various states, and also for those built by the large federal appropriation for interstate

roads under the federal aid act, our iroads of tomorrow should be of maximum value to every one. They will be built much wider and stronger than many we have now. and of the most durable materials, for they will have to bear a greatly increased motor truck traffic if the growth in use of such trucks in the last few years Is any criterion. — Popular Mechanics.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Most topics that you would discuss are sad and'' tiresome things to <ue; for we are tired and prone to balk at all the. endless streams of talk. We long for silence, quiet, pegee, and wish the eloquence would cease. How sweet and restful It would seem if every bore and every theme could be by might of law suppressed! Oh, That would soothe our souls distressed. We’re tired of war and politics, of Huns and all their Hunnish tricks, of problems large and problems small, of Russian freaks and Prussian gall, pf doves of peace and fists of steel, and all the things of which bores spiel? Oh, for a glen or bosky dell, where we remotq from talk might dwell! Oh, for some hollow in the ground, where Windy Jlms are never found! Some hermitage among the trees, where one might live on bark and peas, and never meet a noisy bore who’d thrash the moldy topics o’er! We’d think our thoughts and read our books in sylvan glades, by babbling brooks, where wordless songs- by birds are sung, and never hear a human tongue. For we are weary, heartsick gents; we’re tired of stale old arguments; oh, for some cavern in the west, where talkworn delegates migflt rest!

MAIL CLERKS WERE BOOZED

(Continued from Page One)

at once notified the chief clerk of what had happened here and the booze hoisters received their reward at the end of the run. One of the men has been long in the service and had held the important position of chief clerk. An empty pouch bearing the Bloomington label was found at the coal chutes, from Which it is inferreu the Monon ■pouch 'may have been likewise ditched. Clerks on No. 30, due here at 6:28 p. m., reported great confusion in the pick-ups between here and Indianapolis, the sacks taken on having no reference to destination, from which, it is thought the wild orgie displayed here must have continued down the line, in the meantime Mfr Bennett is trying to find out what became of :his Chicago mail Wednesday afternoon. Word from Indianapolis states that the intoxicated clerks were arrested on their arrival and placed in jail, while their car, six pouches missing, was locked up waiting investigation.—Monon News.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

WHEATGUARANTEE HELPS ALL CROPS

Acts as a Balance That Will Sustain Present Prices on All Farm Products.’ PUT THE SURPLUS INTO BONDS Federal Reserve Board Look* to Farmer for a Oeneroue Support of the Coming Victory Liberty Loan. The United States Congress has appropriated $1,000,000,000 to guarantee the American farmer $2.26 n bushel for hla 1919 jyheat crop, a price which is $1 a bushel more than he might reasonably expect if American wheat was thrown on the market to compete with Argentine, Australian and Indian wheat. The American farmer <U's responded to the government’s guarantee by pledging the* production of millions of bushels more wheat than he has ever grown before, according to officials of the United States Food Administration’s Grain Corporation. The American farmer has never been In better financial condition, the officials say. The report of the. Federal Reserve Board shows ttyit the 1918 farm crop added $17,000,000,000 to the wealth of the country. The corn crop alone put $3,528,313,000 In the farm-

er’s pocket. Hay added $1,500,000,000 to the farmer’s Income. Apples brought him $230,000,000. Oats sold on the farm for something aver $1,000,000,000. The guaranteed price of wheat will not only assure the farmer a profit on wheat, but will also sustain the prices on other farm products, Food Administration officials point out. With the return of an abundance of labor, the farmer Is assured a highly prosperous year. With the surplus the farmer has from his last abundant harvest and with his present season’s return in a Targe measure guaranteed, the Federal Reserve Board looks to the farmer for a generous support of /the coming Victory Liberty Loan. The securities to be offered will merit his attention ns first Class Investments, aside from their patriotic appeal. “Sixty thousand American lads, many of them farmer boys, gave their lives for the freedom of democracy,” said an official of the United States Food Administration. “Had the war continued throughout next summer, as our military chiefs believed it would, two hundred thousand Americans and many more hundreds of thousands of their compatriots would have been sleeping In Flanders’ fields and beneath the sod of France and Lorraine. “That these Ilves were spared was due in a large measure to the lavish expenditure of the United States government in assembling men and munitions to <?rush Germany. Most of the men and even less of the material of war was never used. Yet the mighty preparations of our government forced the Germans to cry ‘Kamerad.’

"The American -farmer’s sons are coining home for the most part unscathed. For this the American farmer is duly grateful. From his abundance from the past year and from his assured prosperity for the coming season, he should and will set a new record, a Thanksgiving record. In. his subscription to the Victory Loan.” HELP "FINISH THE JOB." LET US STAND BY DEAR OLD UNCLE SAM. Uncle Sam is asking for a Victory Liberty Loan to clinch the stupendous demonstration that moral force, not military force, is to rule the world. We must care for our army of occupation and bring It home ; we must reconstruct and rehabilitate those who have been wounded and blinded in defense of the right. This is to be a Loan of Thanksgiving, and the response should be more hearty and joyous than the response to any of the preceding Loans. Uncle Sam has helped to save the world for Liberty and Civilization. Let us give him the wherewithal to complete the job. HELP "FINISH THE JOB." V “Peace must be financed as well as war, and the initial stages of peace, may be found even more expensive than war. Therefore, get behind the Victory Liberty Loan when it comes.” —StM-retary Glass.'

WOMAN 18 KILLED AT MONON

(Continued from Page One)

She was taken to the home of her mother in the egst part of Monon where ehe died from the injuries sustained an hour and a half later. Mr. Graves was with his wife while crossing the street, but was a few paces in front of her, and It is understood that he was missed by the car by a close margin. Mr. Graves, who was the only witness of the tragedy, stated that Millen continued straight on after having struck his victim, not slacking the speed of his car until he almost ran into a car about a halt block away. Millen and Cody were arrested nt the home of Marion Jacks and • were taken to Monticello where •they will await their hearing, whjch will he held in Monticello today. It is stated that there were four occupants In the car at the time, namely Harry Cody, owner of the car; Frank Millen, driver, and Marion Jacks and Dan Rogers. The latter, however, denied that they yvere in the car at the time, and as there were po witnesses to disprove their assertions they escaped arrest. A large quantity of liquor was found in the car by the sheriff when he made* the arrest. The deceased was about 35 years of age, and leaves her husband and three small children. She was also a sister of Mrs. John M. Johnson of near Rensselaer.

Versatility Demanded.

“You’ll admit that it requires great ability to rise high in politics.” "Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum; -‘only the kind of ability that enables a man to land a Job Isn’t always the kind of ability that enables him to fulfill Its duties.” To aid hunters and trappers the department of agriculture has summarized the game laws regulating them.
