Let us for a moment consider
what is the greatest influence in
the home? A factor that has
done more to make better men
and women than any other in
fluence.
Our thought at once turns to
mother. Let us repeat those
truthful words, "The hand that
Tocks the cradle rules the uni
verse." It is mother with her
untiring efforts and ceaseless
prayers, who has been the under
lying influence, that has changed
public sentiment against vice,
such as rum, gambling and other
influences that drag her boys and
girls into the under current and
sweeps them from her influence
and leaves mother with a broken
heart and finally when the evil in
fluences have become more pow
erful than the influence of a moth
er's love her child will cry out in
agony, "Oh if I had but listened
to mother but now the world has
found me out, it is too late!
MOTHERS INFLUENCE
CONTRIBUTED BY A CHRONICLE READER
Yet that same lost child has
one comforting thought, a re
membrance of mother, and one
hope, a mother's love.
In thinking of her do we con
sider the price she paid to be
come the most honored in the
home? She hovered in the shad
ows of death that she might
mount the top of woman's sphere,
"Motherhood."
And finally as she was giving
up life's struggle, she cast a glance
at the open door of the saloon
with its gambling dens and al
lurements of vice, to catch her
child as it had done to others,
one can but imagine the agony in
mother's heart, as she closed her
eyes and her lips muttered her
last words, "What will become of
my boy?"
Each mother has a place of
honor to fill, that her name might
be lifted higher in the eyes of the
world, and continue her great
battle aerainst vice that has too
often robbed her of a mother's
nride. Sons and daughters that
turn away from vice. Then as
such a mother closes her eyes anc
mutters her last words, "I die
happy." She leaves a smile on

her lips that is never forgotten.
We can but wonder what would
the thoughts be of the mother of
today. After the great wave of
public sentiment is closing the
door of the saloon, ard its lurk
ing influence is beginning to be
the dread of every home, for
rum and gambling are the great
est enemies of the home.
Yes, what will the price be, to
the mother who opens the doors
of her home to gambling games,
serves liquor over her own table
•o her guests in the presence of
her own children.
Welcoming to her home vice
lhat
lhan
has destroyed more homes
anv other influence in the
world has sent more sons to
drunkard's graves and their fam
ilies to disgrace than any other
evil in existance vice that has
brought daughters to shame and
disgrace and destroyed a moth
er's love.
Does not such a mother do an
injustice to "Motherhood"?
If her eyes were suddenly to
-lose in death and her child
hrown upon the world to fight
life's battle's alone, with mother's
approval of such vice, what
mi«?ht a daughter's future be?
No beautiful remembrance of
mother to encourage her, and as
she sinks in the undercurrent she
would gasp, "Oh if mother had
but taught me different."
Should she instead face the
stream and win in her strife to
womanhood, and finally fill a
mother's place with honor, and
Dress her own child to her breast
free from care or danger, then as
the little one closes its eyes in
slumber and asks her to tell about
grandma, can she but sit in silence
and blush with shame, as she
takes a remembrance of mother.

GOOD ROADS
AND LAND VAUIE
Entire Community Reaps Bene
fit ot Better Highways.
IMPROVED WAYS TO MARKET
A Well Constructed Highway Is
Benefit to Property Owners Whose
Land Is Not Directly on the Route
to Be Improved—All Adjacent Real
Estate
Rises
In Price.
The road nuilding specialists of the
department of agriculture have the
following to say about the benefit of
a well constructed highway to prop
erty owners whose property is not di
rectly on the road to be improved:
In planning the highway system or
the main market roads it will be found
necessary to omit mauy roads, the im
provement of which is greatly desired
by abutting landowners. The fact that
such property holders must pay a tax
for the bond issue is only an apparent
Injustice, for If the highway system is
well planned the entire county will
feel the benefits of the improvement.
As a rule, main market roads reach
the majority of producing areas, and
when they are improved all land values
tend to increase.
The fact tnat cities and larger towns
are frequently taxed for bond issues
to build highways outside of their own
limits is sometimes made a point of
debate in bond elections. It is argued
that because a large part of the county
wealth is within the corporate limit of
such cities and towns, highway bond
money should also be used to construct
their streets. It is even urged that the
expenditure should be made proportion
ate to the assessed valuation within
the city limits. If the proceeds of
highway bond issues were distributed
in this way their purpose in many
cases would be defeated.
Tbe primary object of the county
highway bond issue is to build county
market roads and not to improve city
streets, although a high percentage
of the assessed valuation may be city
property. It is now known that the
expenditure of city taxes on country
roads is a sound principle and that it
is one of the best features of state aid
for highways. In Massachusetts the
city of Boston pays possibly 40 per
cent of the total state highway fund,
but not a mile of state aid highway
has been built within its limits. New
York city also pays about CO per cent
of the cost of tbe state highway bonds.
Some state laws prohibit the expendi
ture of proceeds of state highway
bonds within corporate limits of cities
or towns.
The improvement of market roads
results in improved marketing condi
tions which benefit the city. Most
cities are essentially dependent upon
the surrounding country for their pros
perity and development. The develop
ment of suburban property for resi
dence purposes Is also dependent upon
highway conditions, and it is becom
ing evident yearly that whatever
makes for an increase in rural popula
tion must be encouraged. Since the
introduction of motor traffic country
highways are used to an increasing
extent by city residents. In fact, the
cost of maintaining many country
highways has been greatly increased
by the presence of city owned motor
vehicles. The general advance in fa
cilities for doing country business from
town headquarters when roads are im
proved is no inconsiderable factor in
the commercial life of the community.
Horrors of Naval Warfare.
Naval warfare bad Its horrors before
tbe day of tbe mine and tbe submarine.
Lady Dorothy KevllL, for Instance, not

of the Nelson school: "Which was tbe
most solemn and awful moment of a
naval battle?" be was asked by a lady.
"Tbe moment before tbe battle, mad
am. when they sprinkled tbe sand on
tbe decks to absorb tbe blood that was
to flow." was tbe reply.—Loudon
Chronicle.

in point of time the cooperage in

nearly 2,000 years ago Pliny, the "spe

CONCRETE ROADS DURABLE.
Advantages of This Foitn of Highway
!»*rortf..-
Sr
In a bulletin published by the Mis
souri state board of agriculture appears
a short discussion on tbe value of the
concrete road by J. Li. Marcellus. At
tention is first called to the durability
of this type of road, aiul one instance
is cited whore a concrete road at Itelle
fontaine. O.. has withstood the wear
and tear of traffic and weather for
twenty years with a cost of mainte
nance less than $25 per mile anuually
Briefly described. Mr. Marcellus
points out that the concrete road is a
mushy, wet mass of cement, sand and
stone put down in the middle of a
thoroughfare between rigidly staked
side forms, where it hardens into in
destructible rock. These roads have a
flat crown, are never slippery and are
always passable. Horses not only ob
tain a good foothold, but. owing to low
tractive resistance, can draw two or
three times their accustomed load.
The average cost of sixteen foot con
crete roads has been S1-.000 a mile.
Some farmers advocate a ten foot con
crete road with dirt road at the side,
which could be built for about §7.500 a
mile. A macadam road costing !?C.OOO
a mile and $300 per mile per year for
upkeep really means an investment of
$12,000 a mile.
The concrete road prevents the clos
ing of thoroughfares, for repairs as
well as washimts. mud and dust, all of
which is explained, not upon theory,
but by actual tests, showing that the
materials composing the road cannot
escape from the grip of that most tena
cious of all modern birdina materials
Portland cement. In addition to the
economy of the concrete road as to
minimum outlay for repairs, it means
a great saving in time and the wear
and tear on horses and wagons.
Unique Decorative Effects.
"Pyrograpliy ts not as popular as It
used to be." said Mrs. Wasserhy
"No," replied Mrs. Judkins, "but Mr.
Judklns still does a little ot It now and
then."
"Too surprise ma I had no Idea
that be bad any artistic Inclinations."
"Be basn t. He merely leaves light
