NEARLY 28,006 MILES OF - ..
\-dy- GOOD ROADS BOLT 1X1921
Road building has recovered from
the setback received during the war,
and prospects are bright'-'for the futttipe.
Approximately 14,000 miles of
road have been constructed during the
present season by the States in conjunction
with Federal &icT, according
-to the Bureau of Pu^riiC' Roads, United
.States Department of Agriculture, and
probably an equal amount independ*
ent of Federal aid. More miles of imr
proved road have been built than dur
itf?..*ny otner year.
OQsts of road grading and construction
, with local materials is down
practically to the 1914 level. Some reductions,
also .have been made in
freight rates on road materials. The
importance of this item is shown by
the fact that in some cases it has
been estimated that increased freight
. rates-'have added 10 per cent to the
cosi Of a road. Prices ot manufactured
road materials tend downward; the
.present level is materially lower than
that o?aTyear ago.
With the new appropriation by Congress
of $75,000,000, added impetus
wDl be given to new road construction.
Many of the states are considering
enlarged amounts of State aid,
and the new law will have a tendency
to encourage this policy. It will also
secure the construction of a system of
interstate and intercounty highways,
rather than haphazard selection of
i" snmo PQflPS i*l the. Oast.
JL VOU0 UO AM UVAMV vwvw - Jt
The meeting of the Association of
State- Highway Officials to be held in j
Omaha, Nebr., December 5 to 12, will
be devoted largely to the discussion
of ways and means of complying with
the new law and getting construction
' vnder way.

t . Faculties
Many a man and many a woman
feels all out of sorts from thin, weakened
blood. The. least little thing gone
wrong throws them into a wild form
of despondency Instead of bracing
up and meeting ordinary difficulties,
they are downed. Nerves are on edge.
Appetite lags. Sleep is restless. They
- are weak and tired and dull. Poor
blood works its havoc till the will
loses its power. Few people who fall
MHgMmbits of worry and despondency
- realize that most of their troubles are
due to lack of endurance?to blood
that has become weakened by overwork
or straining.
Healthy men and women with rich,
red bloqd. see things brightly. They
Jackie life with zest and go along
smilingly, full of eagerness and endurance.

NEEDED GREAT?AND NOW. ,a
That the city of Columbia should
build an inviting and com|prtable ^'
market place to which the farmers of 0
w p
.Richland, Lexington and other coun- !
ties might bring their vegetables,
, fruits, poultry, eggs and meats and ?
: i si
; sell them is not open to argument. So!
I i i
much The State has been saying in - i
sistently six or seven years, having j ^
begun to say it with all the emphasis i
it could command long before the 0
United States went to war with Germany.
An attractive and commodious marr
e
ket building, erected at a convenient i
?1~ ^.o.rlricr oil +V\o onnftlntmpnts
piat'C anu na viii^ uii vuv ? - ,
conducive to health and economy,
would be of great benefit to Columbia.
It would save Columbians a
great deal of money as well as make
a great deal of money for farme.rs.
What Mr. G. W. Thomas says in a ^
letter today is jn substance what?The
State has pleaded for.
How the market place should be
conducted and how it should be controlled,
The State does not under- take
to say, but it has no doubt that, C
were it provided, with the desirable
equipment where the producer and
consumer would meet, the details
would almost take care of themselves.
' i ~
The notion of a central market is |
> not new in Columbia, or anywhere. F
' Such a market we had but we did not 5
maintain it when the town outgrew it 8
i
we did not enlarge it and we did not
improve it as progress in sanitation ~
required. It is foolish for a city to
be without a central market where
producers of fresh meats and vege- J
tables and all fresh thnigs can traae
directly with consumers. Without it
Columbia is behind the times a longi \
i way arid, for. that reason, is unnecesj
sarily taxing itself and at the same
time neglecting to give to the farmers
in its neighborhood what would con siderablv
enhance their prosperity. On
, >
. their prosperity that of Columbia is F
in great measure dependaltle.?The
State.
