C.. as mail matter of the second class. THURSDAY. APRIL 17. 1913. With the approach of spring is time to begin to plan and think for a year of work for better roads about the country districts. While great progress has been made in the direction of street improvement and in main arteries of highway travel from town to town, the general improvement of country roads proceeds at a very slow rate. One great reason therefor is the temporary character of so much of the work. The road officials are too anxious to make a record that seems economical for the time being. It is cheaper for this year to scrape a lot of mud out of the gutters than to cart or gravel and dig out the gutters so as to drain off the water. Slipshod repairs are very costly in the long run. They place i permanent tax on all is ho have produce to get to market. They give the country district a black ! eye with a great host of the pub lie that are traveling by automoL ? 1 mi i . ? i one. Tney discourage me nome seekers that may he thinking of locatirg. The proper rare of water along: the highways is on? of the secrets of permanent work. A road with ample gutters built with enouuM sloj e so that the water will run o'V' will last many years while at imperfectly drained road g'>?s f. i pieces in a hard shower or under | the storms and frost of winter. 'J'he time has come when un-1 scientific, patching: of country roads ought to c as<. i he farmer no* ds a (rood rood a great deal more than the pleasure driving mitori'ohilists. To the latter a had toad means simply a little discomfort. To the inrmcr it means many lours of time wasted wl ill he draws his loads: through the sloughs of mud. It means tl at he n ust keep more hordes and that liis U arts of J burden will wear out (picker.! Let every farmer insist that the' road officials of his neighborhood do modern, scientific work. William Rockefeller is really an object of pity. Wit li all Liu wealth at his command yet he is in the grip of sickness that allows him little rest. His wealth has become a burden to him. Hej tauiMa rni t\ nifrii w i? ruut imving a dozen servants boring his back wit h their gimlet eyes. He knows lit tie about the actual conduct of his vast interests and yet he is followed by investigators to remote corners and questioned. Uneasy rests the head that' wears the Rockefeller crown. I How gladly would he give a chest of giittern g gold if once, more he could know 'he delight of being a little rnvgedcoated boy cons'ing dovn the coasting hill on a hen.(-made sled and yelling- "track" at the top ol his lungs.
