SEABOARD. good romls by town, city or gov ernment as an extravagance for the benefit of th# rich, who drive In car riage* and automobile#. The real fact of tho matter Is that no one benefit* so greatly from good highway* a* tho farmer nnd the Mock breeder and th# country dweller* who ara engaged In any kind of Industry- I cah recoil season* In my early girl hood when there was despondenty and R loom over the whol# country mtuh- I I.... ansa, of Si.ni" sudden rWe tn th* price of produce when the roads were absolutely Impassable. And before they routd be safely used to transport the crops to market the price wa* certain to fall. Perhaps It Is because of my early recollection* of bad road* and all the discomfort and loneliness they caused that' a good road, seems to me a thing of such beauty. A closely shaven lawn, peatly kept, and a hard, smooth road always etlr me with a peculiar sensation; some thing like to that which n sound ot music or a sight of a beautiful picture or the reading of a great poem pro duces. Lift assumes new meaning and a glamour and a halo fall ovsr tha com monplace. A Grtst Contrast t can remember when good roads first appealed to me. My childhood home was on a WIs- msln oralrle. twelve miles from a i roade were rarely good, de hollows, and when dry end smooth they were covered with Inch-deep duet. Three or four times a year perhaps I drove Into town with older member* of the family, and aa we approached tha city the good roade began and the clipped lawns, and all Ihe face of the world and tha atmosphere ot life chanced for me. Hope, ambition, joy teemed to rise from those hard roads and smooth, green lawns and envelop me; the world grew larger: Imagination waa etlmu atad, and when. In addition to alt thla a strain of music ' reached me from within some house by the wayatde, or from some street organ, bringing ro mance with It. then Indeed Hfe became a thing ao wonderful that It could scarcely be borne.. As we drove back homeward all these emotions fadsd as soon as ths rough roads and ragged lawns ap- ptared again. And to this day the seme feelings, to degree, lake possession of me when I pass from unkempt nature end see rood roada and lawns which show the orlng care of man. I know that artists rave over tangled grasses and wild paths of nature, but to me uncut grass In a yard means Ured men and women, overtaxed with duties for which they were not fitted by temperament, and to which they brought only Irritability and discon tent; duties which left no time for. the decorative and beautiful; the fields and barns, stable* and pens must receive care; tha front yard could wait. And It did wait, lonesome and over progress drives through the land. The poor, the rich, the humble, the great, the people of today and the peo ple of five hundred years to come will all be benefited. It la a curious fset that of all the marvelous achievements of the Roman dynasty In surrounding countries at the time of It# greatness, nothing remains today but tho good roads'. 8chool#, temples, cities, aqueducts Institution# of learning, buildings of state—all are gone, but ths good roada remain. Let every man and woman and child In America clamor for good roads! What everybody wants must come. CONCENTRATION. Its Effects Upon tho Social, Do mestic and Business Life. By LANDON CARTER.
