“ u little makes WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 29, 1920 Improved Roads’ PERMANENT ROADS ARE BEST ! Although Applrently Expenalve at First, They Add Greatly to Value of Farm Lands, When one i, ring the cost of .im- proving the public roads consideration should be given to the increased value of the lands loddted . the section where the roads-have.been-permaunent- A1y improved. In every case W) e"g(rmus ‘have been put in a permanently ‘gobd condition, the value off the farms has Increased, to a point ‘that the Increased value would moresthan pay ‘the ‘cost of ‘the improvement. ~Permanent roads do . seem high-priced in the beginning but | An improved Road Near New York ' City. ‘onc should figure that there will be small future outlay for upkeep. " The dirt road has a_bad reputation every place it is found and even im- | proving does net make it a permanent | road, for it is continually needing work. It is a never-ending job to keep a dirt road in_ even passable condition. | 1t is like doing the chores on the farm, they must be gone' over again and again and still remain to be looked after. The properly graded road, of course, is better than owe poorly made, but at its best it is a continual worry and expense. Where very steep hills are on the roadway, ditches should be run off along the side to carry the wa- ter into the side ditch and not allow it to run down to the bottom, carrying the soil with it and making a pool where it stops. Much of the movement now for im- proved roads is for permanent roads. Ang, as stated above, these permanent roads although quite expensive at first, add much to the value of the lands and ! to the reputation of the farming dis- tricts. 1t has been much easier pepulate a new farming section when it is known that permanent roads are coming soon or are already installed. A farm always sells better when the buyer can approach it on a substantial roadway. good roads and permanent roads may not all live to see their ambitions sat- isfied, but they are starting a move- ment that will carry on to the coming generations and will be a blessing for those who live after the present im- proved road agitation. SUPERIOR SYSTEM OF ROADS | In Every Section of Country Work Is Progressing Favorably on Many Projects. The time is rapidly passing when the bad roads of America can be point- eil out as & reproach. In every sec- tion of Lhe country work is in progress to give the United States em of roads whith will compare favorably with those of other countrics. Roads are being built at 2,985 different points. Fully 30,000 miles of road have been approved by the secretary of agricul- ture. Tt is estimated that this con- struction will cost the country nesrly 5400,000,000. At the end of June, 1920, the governnrent reported that 2.116 - ferent projects or a total of 16,000 miles, of roads had been completed.— Boys' Life. ACCESSIBILITY TO MARKETS Farm on Paved Road Is Nearer to the | City Than One Located on Impassable Highway. The type of road over which a farm- er must haul his crops determines his accessibility to markets.” A farm many wiles from the city, but if Ibcated on a paved road, is nearer to market than | a farm separated from it by only a mile of impassable road. That is why the various reports of the United | States weather bureau issued daily by | he local state offices of the bureau, de-, vote frequently their entire report to ; the subject 'of roads—a strange place | you'll say to find an editorial promot- ing permdnent highways, but it is there from time: to time, nevertheless. | ‘Streets of Glass.

Those who are advocating ' " Hunter Asserts That It Is Practically Impossible to Surprise the Mountain Sheep. | “The mountain sheep s one of the game to-approach in the open,” says Charles L. Smith in an article on the “Rocky Mountain Sheep” in Boys' Life. “It has eyes like a telescope for | keenness and can discover and make out a man farther away than any other janimal of which I have any kunowl- edge, and where any considerable herd have been feeding one will see usually i one or. more standing on.some prom- inent point where they can get & view of the surrounding country. I know ! of no more inspiring sight than one of | those qld rams with his massive ‘horns outlined against the sky, standing as motionless as a statue. wonder to the hunter how they get ! across the rock slopes with such ease | and grace. ! ten of the mountain sheep, of its won- . derful feats of springing from ledges and lighting upon its head and horns, i which is without foundation in fact. ! While it is true they cun stand an im- | mense shock_in battle, yet if one of | | those sheep weighing 300 pounds | t should drop from a ledge of any con- {swemble height and land oy his head { his neck would be'broken. I spent | several years in’the sheep country in lhe Canadian Rockies and wus near lthc sheep or among them during all scasons of the, year and they scem to |,be less sensitive to the rigors of win- I'ter and the ever-changing elements of , the high altitudes than any other ani- i mal except possibly the mountain goat, ; and of these anifnals I think they have | the ber of times found mountain goats | yarded in the deep snow in places where food was scarce, but I have never yet found mountain sheep in | this condition.” | BOARDING HOME FOR BABIES Institution in England Had Its Incep- tion in the Shortage of Houses and Housemaids. | A small private hotel for babies is the latest idea of domestic life. The baby gets a change and the mother | gets a rest. The baby’s hotel or boarding house is the product of the shortage of houses and nursemaids. Parents have been forced into hotels and furnished apartments, and as many hotels have not the conveniences of .the. nursery, : the baby’s hotel, where he or she may be received as a paying guest, is mak- ing its -appearance.. There is, of course, accommodation for lhe baby carriage.. R Two certified nurses conceived the idea. They have established a nursery . in Hampstead, London. decorated with ducks and- chickens, i and each litlle guest has a white cot with curtains. A medical man-and a dentist are in attendance. | is about $13 a week. The little guests may stay a week, a year, or merely for the week end, while their parents go uouse hunting or holiday making. “A young war widow, who has re- sumed her former post as secretary, brought her baby to the nursery, and | Saturday afternoon and Sunday they | spend happy hours together, while an- ! other woman left her little one in our ‘ charge while she rejoined her husband i \ | | | | in the tropics.”’—Continental News. For European Children. Italy @specially Switzerland, at the end of { October held at Milan a conference ! on child welfare to discuss, more spe- cifically, seaside and country homes for needy children, placement of chif- dren in' foreign countries; vacation campg: also provision of institutional care in cities; state, Jocal and inter- national organization of child welfare; better training of social workers en- waged in.child welfare service, and | + improvement of technique generally. The public welfare department of the | city of ]\lllau. which called this con- ference, is especially concerned over i the duplication of efforts, the lack of | proper care in the smeller communi- | ties and interaction between town and | country.
