f GUjINER'S MATE HERE GUNNING FOR RECRUITS x Chief Gunner's Mate Frank J. Bp. Burress, from the Central Recruiting L Station, at Columbia, was in Chester^ Bj|' field last week canvassing for new rePF'v .cuits for the navy. Mr. Burress, v hile here only a short time covered the ground thoroughly and left a very fivorable impression with those who had the pleasure of meeting him. Under recent orders from the navy department "recruiters" are being Br** sent to every part of the state ih an effort to get more men for the Navy. Every town and village will be go>ne over in the effort to make the men between the ages of 17 and 35 understand the opportunities offered by the navy in peace times. The navy is endeavoring to release all men enlisted for the war so that they may resume their former occupation^; but at the same time the soldiers nave to be brought back home and the navy is the only ferry availI .r able. Mr. Burress became enthusasiastic when asked by a prospective recruit to name some of the advantages je of an enlistment in the navy. Said he: "The advantages of enlisting are manifold to a young man. Travel is -? the best known medium of education, and the navy never stays in one place any length of time. The chance to learn a trade is unexcelled as the navy teaches 55 trades and gives pay while the "rookie" is learning. Any one interested in the navy should write the Navy Recruiting Starr . tion, at Columbia, for full particuI lars.

One subject which might be w of dicussed at your neighborhood mei ity ing is that of road improvement. T on time has come when bad roads p he the mark of backwardness on a at community which tolerates them, be We realize that m many counti en sums have been spent for buildii expensive roads, and then these roa have been alowed to go to ruin. Eve an_ body, however, knows what the rei li- edy for such a trouble. In all cas to the builders thought of consructi< P" ' only and forgot that maintenan< J1 j is just as important?or more so, rj possible. As we frequently said, ce is just as foolish to build a road wit xt out provision for keeping it up aft b- building as it would be to buy a hor; , with no provision for feeding it aft , buying. In all hilly country, too, the propi laying-off of roads is just as impor L ?"t as either maintenance or coi struction. In fact, in many cases, tl n(_ wise laying off of a road would sob ie half the diffcultics. Just for examp h, the writer not many weeks ago, tra s? eling over an old road, drove up ts ^ very siui-p ruiisiue ana uown tne otm (j side. That road had been there sevei uj ty-five years, probably longer. Ar t year after year, month .after montl ,(j day after day, for seventy-five yeai j teams have wearily pulled loads u that steep grade?and still it is thor One ten-thousandth part of the tim >r and horsepower and labor spent du ing these years in climbing that grad i(j would probably have fixed it for a time to come?either by a cut or els . by making a new road around the hi instead of over it. j Taxation for good roads is u tru f, form of cooperation. You are likel jj *.o get your money's worth even you go ahead and charge up your fir: nistakes to experience. The wis thing to do, however, is to learn th lessons which other counties and se< s- .ions at great expense to themselvi i- have taught. And the greatest c hese is that no road tax or bond issu t- should ver be voted unless for mail tenance is provided at the same tim is money for construction.?Progrei t. sive Farmer. Made Me a .
