AS THE EDI ioix.
SEES IT.
We admire a man who is strong on
civic pride. Such a man, or woman,
is a distinct asset to any community.
Too often a town suffers because its
citizens immerse themselves in the
business of making money, to the utter
exclusion: of all other considerations.
Always there are a few who believe
in improving local conditions. Through
their efforts a, certain amount is accom
plished, but uniform improvement is
only brought about when the people as
a body are willing to co-operate to
that end.
Conditions in our own community
would he better, and life would be
brighter, if all of our people had the
spirit of local improvement and the
will to put it into practice.
Again we suggest that it is time to
look over the field and see if there is
any one in our midst who is likely not
to be remembered on Christmas day.
If there are any such persons the
spirit of humility and .brotherly love
which Christ taught should prompt us
to put joy into their hearts on the
great day of days.
To him that hath not should be
given.
How many of the children who re
ceive their toys on Christmas day will
understand why those toys are given
them at that particular time?
How many of them understand that
had it not been for the birth of Christ
there would be no Christmas, and per
haps no occasion for toys?
It might be profitable to tell them
the storoy of the child who came into
into the world in a manger and went
ou,t of it upon a cross, that their
thoughts on Christmas morn may in
stinctively turn back to the day when
the virgin became a mother.
The average minister preaches about
100 sermons a year.
This requires intelligence, education,
research, and concentrated thought.
In addition, he must keep a watch
ful eye on the work of the Sunday
school; conduct mid-week prayers,
foster and enducate all sorts of church
societies and activities, visit the sick
and oppressed, smile sweetly over the
indifference of many of the brethren,
and blaze the path to heaven for peo
ple who are too engrossed'in worldly
affairs to perform this important duty
for themselves.
We dole him out a sum that, with
rigid economy, will cover his naked
ness and keep soul and body together
—and feel that we have done -wonder
fully well.
The devil smiles at our parsimony,
the preacher doesn’t complain of it,
and we, apparently, prefer to remain
ignorant of it.
It’s a gay world—for everyone but
the preacher.
And now, if you have borrowed this
paper in order to read this column, re
turn it with thanks and send in a sub
scription of your own. It will add to
the enjoyment of your Christmas din
ner.
“It is to be hoped that every per
son who can do so will exchange War
Savings Stamps, soon to fall due, for
Treasury saving certificates,” said
Postmaster Lewis. “The large amount
of money invested and the great num
ber of persons who purchased was
saving stamps showed that the people
of this country could save money when
the necessity arose. Now, if they will
take the money they saved when they
bought stamps to aid the government
in the prosecution of the war and buy
Treasury savings certificates, they will
demonstrate that the thrift lessons of
the war have not been without effect.
The holders of war saving stamps have
seen investments of about $20.50 grow
to $25 in five years, and larger amounts
in the same proportion. They can see
the same thing repeated if they rein
vest in Treasury savings certificates.
Interest accumulates at the rate of 4
per cent, compounded semi-anhually.
These savings certificates are exempt
from the normal Federal income tax,
and from all State and local taxation
(except estate and inheritance taxes),
and may be held to the amount of $5,-
000, maturity value, for each issue, -by
every member of a family. They are
backed by the credit of the United
States government, and afford an easy
and sure method of saving.”
Magnified Trifles.
Trifles that amount to little are too
frequently magnified and those which
really should receive attention are ig
nored. This is because too many men
and women lack ability properly to es
timate the value of things. Ability to
tppralse is at a premium nowadays.

ROAD '*
BUILDING
NO ONE ROAD TYPE IS BEST
There le Suitable Kind of Highway
for Traffic of Every Description-
Many Considerations.
(Prepared by the United States Depe.rtment
of Agriculture.)
No effort has been made to encour
age the construction of any particu
lar type of road in the federal-aid
projects administered by the bureau
of roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The legal re
quirement that the roads shall be
“substantial In character” has not
been interpreted to mean that only the
most expensive types of roads should
be built. It hus been recognized that
the heavy and expensive construction
# whieh is necessary in New York,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania is
not suitable or warranted for the less
exacting traffic of Nevada, Idaho and
the Dakotas.
There is a suitable type of road for
every type of traffic. Granite blocks
are best around wharves and freight
depots; country thoroughfares need
to be better than rural side roads,
lightly traveled. A number of other
considerations have influenced the
choice of type in many cases. It is fre
quently found that suitable local ma
terials may cost less than better mate
rials imported from a distance; ap
proval of the use of local materials is
not infrequently given for the purpose
of encouraging local productiori. In
parts of the Far West the entire ab
sence of water along a right of way,
and the expense of keeping an ade
quate supply, often make It necessary
to approve the building of a type of
construction that can be built without
using large quantities of water.
The initial decision as to the type of
a particular road is made by the state
highway department. The bureau of
public roads mukes an Independent
study of the conditions. The most
suitable type of road in the judgment
of the engineers of the State depart
ment and of the bureau of public
roads is finally decided upon. The
earth, snnd-olay and gravel roads

way Through the Mountains.
which make up 66 per cent of the
mileage, have cost only about one-
fourth of the federal-aid funds used,
while the highest types, including
cement concrete, brick and bituminous
concrete have called for 60 per cent of
the money to build 24 per cent of the
mileage.
PAINT HELPS STEEL BRIDGES
Life of Many Steel Structures Is Short
ened by Infrequent and Im
proper Attention.
The life of many steel highway
btldges is materially shortened be
cause of infrequent aud improper
painting, says the bureau of public
roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Each year a
considerable amount of money Is spent
for the replacement of rusted bridge
members that would have remained
sound if they had been kept painted;
and more serious than the waste of
money is the danger to the public due
to the weakening of some hidden part
which may cause the collapse of the
whole bridge.
Officials of the bureau urge that all
steel bridges be inspected at least once
each year and repainted at the first
sign of rusting. Normally repainting
is required at periods of from two
to five years, depending on the climate.
A suitable paint should be used, and if
there is uncertainty about any paint,
information should be requested from
the state highway department.
It is & mistake to repaint without
properly cleuning the inetal of all dirt,
rust, loose paint, and blisters. Usual
ly the places hardest to reach are the
ones that should receive the most at
tention.
Money for Road Paving.
0*-operating with the states, the
government has approved in the past
five years expenditures totaling $229,-
000.000 for road paving. This is divid
ed into three classes, concrete, brick
und bituminous of which more than
80 per cent lias been concrete.
Place Concrete.
Anyone who is careful to observe
the simple rules necessary in doing
concrete work can make and place
concrete satisfactorily, even though he
uiay have no previous experience.
