YELLUWÜ10NE TRAIL ASSOCIATION ISSUES
STATEMENT ON INTERSTATE ROAD SYSTEM
(This statement made by the Yel
lowstone Trail association, the oldest
of the transcontinental highways in
America.) *
The Yellowstone Trail association is
a transcontinental highway organiza
tion with a road marked from Utica
in the state of New York to Seattle
in the state of Washington, and a
mapped route from Utica, N. Y., to
Boston, Mass. It was organized in
the year 1912 under the name "The
Yellowstone' Trail" and has actively
functioned from that time to the pres
ent time.
Its income has grown from nothing
to $00,000 per year. Its sole support
is from a citizen membership, tangi
ble in form, and it represents a cli
entage spreading across 11 states.
Its success has been due to the ser
vice which it has given, its close
ness to the peçple it served as a
whole, and its fidelity to the automo
bile traveling public of the United
States of America.
Its affairs are in. the hands of re
sponsible business men. Its
ing board consists of representative
men from the states through which it
passes and its ideals are solely what,
it believes to be for the best interests
of the public as a w'hole.
The Yellowstone Trail association
approves of the movement to have the
federal government recognize and
mark an interstate system of high
ways, believing that it is a logical
step in the development of long dis
tance transportation by motor ve
hicles on public highways.
There are some phases of this
marking and designation however,
which should receive serious and care
ful consideration. The Yellowstone
Trail association believes that the
designation of interstate routes for
practical use has been to a very large
extent already made by the successful
operation of citizenship organizations
such as the Yellowstone trail, the
Lincoln highway, the Jefferson high
way, and perhaps a few others.
These organizations have lived be
cause they filled a need. They could
only fill that need because they met
the logic of an interstate or long
distance travel situation. Therefore,
the Yellowstone Trail association be
lieves that the roads should be desig
nated in an interstate system that
have, by their successful performance,
proven the logic of their location.
The Yellowstone Trail association
believes that the Yellowstone trail
should be designated clear across the
nation as an interstate highway.
It believes that the continuous and
sincere efforts on the part of the citi
zenship that has made it a successful
organization, has given this road a
claim to recognition which cannot be
lightly thrust aside and that it has
already by such successful operation
demonstrated the logic of its location
for practical interstate or long-dis
tance transportation purposes.
The Yellowstone trail believes thati*
any system of interstate or national
highways should be marked by name
and rot by number. There is already
a well-defined state system of high
ways in practically each state in the
union designated, mapped and mark
ed by number.
, To mark an interstate or federal !
system of highways also by number
will lead to confusion in the several
states, regardless of how carefully an
emblem or mark is selected. Such a

of meat may form uric acid,
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood, and
they become sort of paralysed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and

marking system Will always require
the use of another word in connection
with the number. It would be neces
sary to say, "State highway number

would always be danger of confusing
the two, even with the most carefully

ways with named roads will not re
quire any greater expanse or work
than to mark them with a number and
it will fit in with a national consci
ousness that has already been made
familiar to the American traveling
public.
The Yellowstone Trail association
believes that the two propositions set
out above are worthy and should re
ceive most careful consideration on
the part cf those charged with the re
sponsibility of selecting and marking
this system of highways.
Primarily, the success or failure of
the entire plan, depends on the public
reaction to the things done. The de
velopment of a federal system of
roads and the success of any marking
plan must primarily depend upon the
citieznship that is favorable, or even
enthusiastic in the prbmotion of this
work. Public officials are the agents
through which it is accomplished and
the reaction of the public is the de
termining factor in its permanency
and success.
By thirteen years of successful op
eration in which it has grown larger
and stronger each year because of
service which it rendered, the Yellow
stone Trail association has acted ac
cording to the reactions of the citizen
ship from which it drew its sole sup
port, and this association feels very
strongly and sincerely the logic of the
two suggestions made above.
The Yellowstone Trail association

has been an honest advocate of this
is anxious for the success of a system
plan for at least five years. The na
tion knows and appreciates the Yel
lowstone trail. It has long been fa
miliar with the location and the sig
nificance of the Lincoln highway. The
name of the Dixie highway carries a
meaning with it, both as to location
and sentiment. These things can be
made an asset to an interstate sys
tem of highways and an asset to the
principle of an interstate system.
They are a foundation on which to
build. They have a fundamental con
stituency and represent a crystalized
sentiment which the present move
ment can and should take advantage
of.

The Yellowstone Trail association
recognizes that there are many so
called highway organizations that
are, to say the least, unprofitable. It
is not the idea of the Yellowstone
Trail association that a federal sys
tem of highways should take over in
to it all the organized highways in

EARNER INTERESTED
IN HAIL INSURANCE
If Good Growing Conditions Continue
More Farmers Will Insure Against
Hail Damage This Summer.
and wonder whether the approaching
clouds contain rain or hail or both,
Hail is a phenomenon of nature over
which man has never been able to
gain control. Certain states and lo
calitSea are proven by records to
have more or less hail on the average
than others, but within these states
or districts there is a great deal of
variation in severity and occurrence.
Most insurance writers now consider
that the particular location of any
given storm is more a matter of luck
than anything else. The cruel thing
about hail is its unexpected and sud
den appearance—also the fact that in
extreme cases it may visit the same
locality or even the same farm, in
two or three successive years.
The chief means of alleviating hail
damage is through hail insurance.
The risk can be eliminated somewhat
by diversification of the crops planted
and by the choice of hardy varieties.
In spite of these precautions how
ever, the hail is frequently severe
enough to destroy all growing «crops.
On this account many of the farmers
are getting in the habit of carrying
some hail insurance, at least enough
to a little more than protect the labor
investment. It is quite a problem for
the farmer whether to increase the
cost of raising his grain by adding
hail insurance ccsts or to do without
hail insurance protection. An increas
ing number are taking out hail insur
ance because it eliminates a great
deal of the uncertainty existing until
the grain is cut and threshed.
Many of the readers of this paper
may not be familiar with the opera-1
tion of Montana State hail insurance
so a few facts are given below:
All the common grains grown in the
state including corn may be insured,
as well as peas and Beans. Any hay
crop grown for seed purposes may be
insured under the same conditions
grain and any grain crop grown for
hay may be insured as such.
The report of the department whicn
was recently issued shows that it has
distributed more than $1,140,000 to
the fanners on hail losses. This is a
much larger amount than has been
paid out by any other hail insurance
agency during the last eight years.
Bail insurance with the State de
partment must be applied for through
the assessor of each county»,
Many people from tho cities dô hot

i
times'as much danger cf the farmer
losing his grain from hail as of losing
his buildings from fire shows the im
portance of the risk. Present indica
tions are that more hail insurance will
be written this year by the State de
partment, and by the various agents
writing for the stock companies
through the state, than in any year
since 1920. The fields are all in fine
condition and are provided with plen
ty of moisture. The farmers don't
want to carry all the risk with no
protection so they are looking around
a little earlier than usual for hail in
surance.
