Every resident of the United States will contribute $1.20 this year for the building of good roads by the national government and it I must be remembered that for every ' dollar spent by Washington the ’ States where the money is spent j must spend an equal amount. This | $2.40 per person will be the largest outlay fcr good roads in anj’ single ' year foi more than twenty years. 1 The amount has been fixed by the I budget, and it is regarded as none ! too high. Good roads mean the extension and the development of business particularly for the farmer, who, after all, is the most important factor in American life. Financially, good roads cost the people a great deal more than their President costs. । The expense of the pi csident, embracing his salarv and expenses, costs each resident two and onehalf mills per year, so the head of the nation is not an expensive luxury ever—that is, directly. The figures show that for the whole national expenditures the people ■ must contribute each $33.39 for the year. This is the first time the people | have really been able to get the figures for national expenditures down from the clouds and consider them in terms of the home. For example, we are told the national debt has been reduced $1,500,000,000, and that it now stands about $23,000,000,000. Bewildering figures of this kind are hard to understand. The only real way for the people to get an intelligent grasp on the naI tion's business affairs is to get the l figures down to the unit. Pensions will cost the people $6.73 each. The Navy will take more than the Army, the cost of the Navy being $4.11 and the Army $3.52. The cost of congress is only 17c. yet there are some people who re- • gard it as expensive even so.

VALUE OF LIBRARIES. Women can do a great deal to raise the tone of life in the community, says the bishop of Newark in commenting upon ine value of public libraries. The public library ought to have its place and adequate support in every village, town, or city. In some parts of New England, the law requires that every town, however small, shall maintain a public library. It is discreditable to us that there is not sum a library in mnay more of opr communities. Let the beginning be made in a small way, if necessary', but let church women give leadership in establishing such libraries and making them attractive places of resort for readers, a center of intellectual life. Stocks of crude oil are said to be greater than ever before, but this fact is not deterring an increase in the price of gasoline. It is simply manipulation, nothing else. It is a matter of satisfaction to learn that the U. S. senate proposes to probe this question by a thorough investigation of the recent increase in the price of gasoline. One outstanding fact is significant, that the price of gasoline is boosted every spring when the demand is greater, and a shortage of crude oil is always given as the reaion. This sound j logical but it probably isn’t true. The primary election is over, the candidates nominated or defeated and the taxpayers can now pay the fiddler. The tune cost the county $3,500. Yet we complain of the high cost of living. The primary is an expensive luxury and the only ones seemingly benefitted are the persons drawing from $6.00 to $9.00 a day for their services.—Walton Enterprise. Guess you’re about right. Os every 1.000 automobiles in the world. 84 3 are owned in the United States and 37 in Canada. This means that eighty-eight per cent of all the automobiles are found in these two countries. Great Britian has four per cent of the total number of auto vehicles. France two per cent, and in all other countries combined are found the remaining mx per cent. The number of graduates from Indiana high schools this year will exceed by several hundred the record of 1 2.264 graduates last year, Benjamin J. Burris, state superintendent of public instruction, has announced. Mr. Burris said that he •'ased his conclusion on the enrollment this year, which is greater than ever before. Indiana spent $53,000,000 for highways In 1921. Os this, the counties spent $8,000,000 of road tax funds and $17,000,000 of road construction bonds. The state high- 1 way department spent $8,000,000 for building bridges, constructing roads and maintenance of 3,300 miles of highway. * Collections of internal revenue for the first three-quarters of the cur- , rent fiscal year fell.off by more than $875,000,000 as compared with a corresponding period of the previous year, according to revenue bureau j reports. It may be all right for the auto- : mobile speeders to cut these corners , so rapidly, but they should keep one wheel out of four on the ground. Mrs. Asquith’s mot that Americans are more progressive than civilized is accepted as a compliment. Most of ths world is neither. To revive an ancient wheeze, Europe would rather owe its debt to the United States forever than to wriggle out of it The Baltimore Sun says that about all this sad world needs is a closer relationship between noses and grindstones. Many are the bootleggers, but it is not believed that they will openly enter politics with a moonshine ticket. The pen may be mightier than the sw'ord. but mighty’ few’ editors get as much pay as major generals. The best time to start a law-en-forcement crusade is just before an election. Every child comes Into the world endowed with liberty, opportunity and a share of the war debt. Alarming Increase o f Poisonous Liquors. A conference of prohibition officials was held at Louisville, Ky.» last Thursday to determine upon means of checking the manufacture and sale of illicit liquors, Prohibition Commissioner Haynes announced. Haynes said, “poisonous” liquors, are being manufactured at an “alarming rate” and declared that extra steps are necessary to stamp out this practice. Has Various Pronunciations.

To be successful, a repair man has to know just how to handle the plates that hold the active material that keeps life in the battery. He has to know how to take care of the insulators that keep the plates apart. He has to know when it is cheaper for you to buy a new battery than to have the old one repaired. Bring your battery in to Headquarters —no matter whether it’s a Willard or not. We’ll tell you what it needs, if anything, how much the cost will be —and whether repairs will pay or not.
