I TAGti 10. 2 MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC ROADS One off..fta Most Important Problems ot Today. k - THEY" ARE TRULY ESSENTIAL. Of Advantage to tha Fsrmar, Bring Towns Clotar Togathar and Doom Horn. Trada Soma Reasons Why Your Road May Ba Poor One. One of the most Important prob lems confronting tha public today la the construction aud maintenance of Its roads. It la truly essential that we bare good roads. Good roads not only prore an ad rantace to the farmer commercially, bnt tbey are a pleasure to the motor lit and bring towns and cities closer together, thereby Inviting trado and transportation. There are many reason why road building in Instances proves a failure, and It talent be well to enumerato some of thorn: First, a road may be made too narrow to accommodate thy trnfflc or so narrow that teams will track, cutting the surface "Info" ruts, a wiiii Miiit noitV In a very short time. Second, the ose of poor unreliable, materials, then, par. Jn the. material dumped In piles along the sides of the road for traffic to spread. Third, poor drainage; either the surface is loo Cat or too high in the center, the side gutters or ditches too deep or not deep enough. Fourth, laid on an unstable foundation, lay Ing the fonndatlon on surfaces filled wltb boles and ruts, thereby leaving so end of trouble and expense after the road has been used a very short time. If a thing is worth doing at all It Is worth doing well. and. since con structing roads Is a thing worth doing. why not do It well? The first thing to take Into consid eration in the proper construction of a road is location and directness, in mieaklng on this very subject one au thority on good roads said recently. "Whenever possible roads should be located on straight lines." Contlnu log. he said. "The best location Is one which Is straight in general di rection. Is free from steep grades, is over solid ground and serves the lar gest powdble number of people." The moil desirable foundation for road contraction Is a natural pebbly surface. Telford uses the pitched foun dation for a road which Is subject to heavy traffic. For an ordinary road a thickness of five or six Inches of. gravel r Olut well rolled aud watered should a cynnrp twp s viVtli-1 roou ox b Used as a foundation wltb a three or four Incb covering of granite also rolled and watered. Another Important factor in road con struction Is draUinge. If the road be Vonstructed lu such a way that the sur face has Just enough convexity, say a lupe of from one and a half inches to two feet, and the gutter grades so ar ranged as to have a fall of at least six Inches In each hundred feet, a good son tare drainage will be obtained. To malum In our ud public roads, after we et tbero.i uew and suitable "mater!' jdjould he added when needed 'nnd s defects repaired at once.

A Joke on Himself That Mark Twain Falltd to Enjoy, When Mark Twain was a resident of Hartford, Conn., ho onrc called at the oltlee of Ur Hwiui, it local special Ixt of t-otislderiibte- rvputo, to consult him rvpmllus a trlvlul ailment.
