or f tdinl Aid to Amount of
$114* $40,773— Important Factor
in Buying and Selling.
(Trepared by th« United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
The highway is coming into its own
In America. *
Neglected, abused. u tutor valued, sub-
jected to cheap remedies for decades,
nt last the country road is being ac-
corded the treatment It deserves. At
cost of hundred* of millions, the
United States is rapidly overcoming
the economic hnndirap which highway
neglect lias so long entailed.
This stupendous movement, the scope
of which the public even now does
not fully comprehend. Is founded on
sound business considerations. Good
roads pay. If they did not. tbe nation
would not now be constructing and
planning them on an unprecedented
scale. They pay by promoting the so-
cial life of the people, by helping re-
lief the congestion that Is making
maelstroms of municipalities. But,
more-important still, they pay in dol-
lars and cents, for poor roads add a
heavy toll to the buying and selling of
polnf on a moderately muddy earn
road—and earth roads are moderate!;
muddy many month* lo tlte year.
Several years ago Information se-
cured by the department of affrlculturt
from 2.800 correspondents Indicated
that the average cost of hauling on an
unimproved country road was 22.7
cents a ton-inlle. Today, with price
levels much higher, the coat would he
•ven greater.
While It la difficult to estimate a<v
curatefy what the aavlng would he If
all highways were Improved rn the dis-
tricts represented by these repllea. a
specific Instance makes the benefit
plain. A farmer In a southern state
had to haul a ton of barbed wire 2.1
miles, over unimproved roads. He
found that with a two-horse team his
maximum load was !W*> pounds, and
that three days were required to make
one round trip. To haul one ton. there-
fore. required 12 days to make one
round trip. Allowing $t i day for man
and team, the cost was $72. After the
roads in this region were Improved, the
same team could draw a ton to the
load and make one rr.nnd trip. In two
days, at a cost of $12. The ton-mile
cost under old conditions was $3.18.
and this cost was rcduct*l to 52 cents
by the Improved road.
Roada and Wheat Marketing.
Take the saving In the cost of haul*
ing wheat as another example. If the
construction of narrow, single-track
roads with Improved surface will re-
duce the hauling cost 5 per cent a ton-
mile. and If the average yield of
wheat in the vicinity of these roads Is
80 bushels to the acre, there results,
for an average haul of live miles, an
economic advantage of 22.3 cents an
acre or $.16 a quarter section. This Is
4 per cent on $000. Calculations of
this sort have shown thousands of com-
munities the wisdom of borrowing mon-

WAR MATERIAL DISTRIBUTED
Equipment Turned Over Promises to
Bs' Great Aid In Carrying Out
Road Building Plan.
To date the war department has
turned over to the United States de-
partment of agriculture approximately
24.000 motor vehicles, as provided In
congressional legislation empowering
the latter department to distribute this
war material among the state high-
way commissioners for use in road
building, allotments of the vehicles
to be based on the amount of federal
aid for roads which the states receive.
This is practically all the vehicles
which the war department has to re-
lease. Of this total 12.000 have been
delivered to the stotes. The remain-
der will be distributed as fast as rail-
way cars can be secured for their
transportation. Representatives of
the bureau of public roads, in charge
of the matter, believe that within two
or three months all of the vehicles
J will have been delivered to the states.
This equipment promises to be a great
aid in carrying the large road build-
lAg program for 1920.
Tlie state highway commissioners
are also interested In securing allot-
ments of tractors, steatn shovels, lo-
comotive cranes, antomotive cranes.
Industrial railway track, dump cars
and industrial locomotives which re-
main to be disposed of by the war
department. A measure known as
the Kahn bill, directing the secretary
of war to release this material for the
state highway commissioners, lias
passed the senate and has been re-
ported out of committee in the house.

CALOMEL USERS
You Cannot Gripe, Sicken, or Salivate Yourself U You
Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead
Calomel salivate*! It's mercury,
(fclotuei acts like dynamite on a slug-
gish liver. When calomel comes Into
contact with sour bile It crashes Into
It, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out. Just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which Is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and If It doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with-
out maklug you sick, you Just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll ba
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, It ma.v salivate you, while If
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full of ambi-
tion. and ready for work or play. It'a
harmless, pleasant and safe to give
to chlldrea; they like It.—Adv.

' isters the federal aid road act. Is cen-
tered supervision of all highway con-
struction which federal funds help car-
ry on. At the close of last year, proj-
j ect statements had been approved call-
ing for federal aid to the amount of
$110,840,773-—a sum which Indicates
how fully the nation is convinced that
better roads mean better business. The
total federal funds available to aid
the states In their road-building pro-
grams up to July 1, 1020, will be $100,-
750.000—and this total is exceeded by
the combined expenditures of state,
county, and municipalities.
Better Roads, Better Business.
The business considerations back of
