DIRT ROADS BEST
FOR ALL PURPOSES
Must Be We'.l Drained and
Heavily Rolled.
NARROW TIRES RUIN ROADS
On Farm Wagons Six Inch Tire Would
Keep Highways Weil Packed and
Prevent Mud and Ruts Would Re
quire Legislation.
I don't suppose that I differ from the,
other engineers or from expert road
builders, but my idea of a perfect coun
try road is this: A dirt road of easy
grades, well drained, plowed deep,
graded and harrowed and last, but by
no means least, thoroughly and heav
ily rolled. This" rolling will make it
solid and homogeneous and prevent
sink holes, says Thomas H. King in
Southern Good Roads. 5
Then when it is opened to the pub
lie there is a road superior to any pave
ment or macadamized surface for six
reasons, which are: This road is
cheaper to build in the first place the
material is "right there." It is more
easily and cheaply kept in good condi
tion. It is easier on horses' feet. It is
pleasanter for light and pleasure trav
el. It is equal to any road for beay
work as long as it remains good. Wide
tires will cause it to remain good.
The people the country over have
been very generous to themselves in
assuming such a vast amount of bond
ed indebtedness for the purposes of
obtaining good roads.
Naturally the general idea is tbat the
money thus expended will give them
roads permanently good. But will it
be so? No road, however well built,
will take care of itself with the pres
ent means of traffic.
Under the antiquated system of care
taking now in vogue the sad experi
ence of generations teaches us that it
will be useless to look for any proper
care or attention being given them
when it is needed.
Neither do I believe the public will
stand for the expense of a gang of
men on the roads in every township
the greater portion of the year with a
BUILDING A DIET BO AD.
big road tax behind it. How, then,
will the roads be kept up? Or will
they finally fade away into the same
old rough, muddy condition we have
been used to for so many years?
I wish to suggest a method that will
meet the emergency, and if public
opinion favors it "we can have good
roads at all seasons of the year, and
the cost of upkeep will be so light
as to be almost nominal. We should
give attention not to the roadbed It
self, but to the vehicles that travel It,
for in that direction we will find the
remedy against bad roads.
Take the ordinary farm or lumber
wagon, in constant daily use every
where for hauling loads, heavy and
light. It weighs approximately 1,000
pounds, or half a ton. The wagon will
convey a ton and perhaps at times
more than that; but, as we are dealing
only in general terms, say the wagon
with a full load will weigh one and a
half . tons and it travels on wheels
with a tire tread of two and one-half
inches. When we come to think of
the number of these farm wagons,
more or less loaded, passing and re
passing continually over the public
highways with a tire tread of only
two and one-half Inches and see their
effect upon the surface when the
ground is softened from frequent rains
it seems as though better machinery
for cutting up and spoiling a roadbed
could hardly be devised. While the
road is drying out the injury Is still
going on and finally leaves the surface
rough, full of ruts and let me say
right here that ruts are the worst en
emy of rubber tires with frequent
mudholes to go through or around un
til a track more or less Smooth is worn
down, ready for the operation to be re
peated at the next rain. This is no sup
posititious case, but the muddy real
ity, as we all know, and those of us who
have crawled along at the rate of
about a mile an hour through liquid
mud at one season and over the rough,
frozen ruts at another, to our sorrow
and vexation, can testify that such
traveling is anything but Joy riding.

On the Box
By THOMAS R. DEAN
Xears ago there were two men living
in one of the great cities on the east
ern oast of the United States who,
though they were father and son, were
chums. They were rich and ultra fash
ionable, which meant then something
far different from what it would mean
today. In those days the fasETsnable
people of the land were refined and
intelligent Now to be ultra fashiona
ble has a questionable sound. One may
be ultra fashionable, yet devoid of or
dinary breeding.
The two men referred to looked like
gentlemen and acted like gentlemen.
Shakespeare has described them in his
words "to the manner born." They
were always seen together on the
street, and one looking at them would
think them a pair of noblemen belong
ing to some lordly English estate. In
society they were known as "Dombey
& Son."
The father, who was a widower.
drifted on, thinking that their com
panionship would last as long as they
lived. What a shock, then, was it
to hi'.a when his son announced to his
father his engagement! The older man
could not believe his senses. But when
he learned that his son was to marry
a girl with no fortune, that the young
couple could not retain the position
in society that their ancestors, the
Van G.'s, had held for 200 years, his
desolation was complete. He could not
conceive of himself failing to appear
at the functions he had from his youth
been accustomed to attend, and to go
to them without - the companion who
had always gone with him would be
worse than not going at all.
The first quarrel the two had ever
had followed. "You shall not marry,"
paid the elder Van G., "unless you
marry one of our set and one with
sufficient fortune to enable you to keep
up a position as a married'man."
'I have asked a lady to be my wife,"
replied the son, "and I will not turn
npon my invitation."
"Very well, then, you must shift for
yourself."
Harry Van G. married a lovely girl;
but, since it would have required an
income equal to his father's to take
her in the society he had been used to
going with, he did not attempt it. But
this in comparison with the young
couple's real condition was a baga
telle. They had nothing whatever to
live on anl sank raDidlv into nnver.

The elder Van U-.tnougn it neariy
broke his heart to go to functions
without his double, chose what he con
sidered the lesser 'of two evils and
went. He saw nothing of his son not
that he blamed him or was angry with
him, but that he considered Harry out

society since colonial days and It
would be contamination for him to as

- One day the elder Van G. this was
several years since he had parted with
his sonstepped out of his club to a
carriage that had been called for him.
Elegantly dressed, as usual, his head
covered with a shining silk hat, his
feet with white spats, his hands with
tan gloves and carrying a cane, he
stood for a moment looking up and
down tho street, then went down to
the cab. The coachman annoyed him,
for instead of looking straight ahead
of him he turned his face in the op
posite direction. , "
Mr. Van G. got into the carriage and
told the cabman to drive him to the
home of a lady social leader. On ar
riving at the door some friends of the
aristocrat happened to pass, and he
stopped on the sidewalk to speak to
them.'' When doing so he happened to
cast his eye to the coachman and rec
ognized his son. He was too well bred
to show surprise or shock at even this
contretemps.. Nor did he. in any way
recognize the fact that his own off
spring was his cabman. When his
friends passed on he went into the
house befere which he stood and after
making a call came out. directed the
coachman to drive him to his home,
tipped him and went inside.
The next day the same cab was
called at the same club tor the same
man. On this occasion Mr. Van G.
was dressed in his most ordinary cos
tume. As he entered the cab without
looking at his cabman he gave his- di
rections as to where he wished to be
driven. " '
The cabman started. He was direct
ed to take his fate to his own humble
domicile. He whipped up his horse

been directed to drive to a railway sta
tion, considering as he proceeded what
he should do. It was evident that his
father had recognized him and was go
ing to see him and his wife, but what
for he did not know. Harry and his
wife lived in a small suit of rooms in
a cheap Hothouse. On reaching it his
father without the least unbending
said:
"Can you direct me to the rooms of
Harry Van G.?"
"Certainly, sir," said the coachman,
touching his hat respectfully, and he,
leading him to his rooms, rang, and the
door was opened by Mrs. Van G.
