Indications point to an awakening on the part of the people of Illinois to the necessity of improving their state roads, says the official publication of the Lincoln Highway association. In consequence “Pull Illinois out of the mud” is a widely used and significant phrase at the present time. The ex- pression is more than a catch phrase in that it graphically describes an actual and lamentable condition now existing. An endeavor is now under way to bring the matter to the attention of the members of the state legislature by pe- tition, these petitions urging the legis- lature to pass a bill calling for a spe- cial election in Illinois for the purpose of votinz on a $10,000,000 bond issue for the building of permanent hard sur- faced roads. It is further set forth in the "petition that the roads to be so improved should be transstate roads, and it is recommended that the money be expended upon the Lincoln highway. the Egyptian trail and the Big Four trail. Two of these roads—the Lincoln highway and the Big Four trail—run east and west across the state, the Lincoln highway in the northern part and the Big Four trail in the southern, and the Egyptian trail runs at right angles to them from Chicago to Cairo. The heavy traffic carried by the Lin- coln highway in the last two years and the many improvements made along that route in conseguence, not only 1 Illinois, but entirely across the coun- | PRING !

The proof of a good roofing is on the roof only and that is why the Certain-teed Roofing Co. puts its absolute guarantee on their roofing, and are ready to stand back of their ome-ply for five years, their two-ply for ten years and their three-ply for fifteen years.

Minnesota Paints and Oils Paint is cheaper than lumber, so why, Mr. House Owner, do you let your buildings deteriorate in value for the want of a good coat of paint?

Minnesota paint is a pure White Lead and Zinc mixed with pure linseed oil paint and is not made up to a certain weight by the use of cheap ingredients in or- der to make it heavier. When you are ready to call in and let us figure with you on your whole job you will be surprised how little it will cost you to give your house a coat of good Minnesota Paint and save many times the cost of the paint in the lasting quality of the lumber.
