Akron, Ohio, June 5.—An interest ing account is given by the Firestone News Service in a special dispatch just released, of the accomplishment soon to be realized whereby the large cities of the nation will be linked up by a network of improved highways which will, at the same time, take in all cities and towns of any import ance. An analysis of the improved high way system for 35 states shows that of 1,100 cities of more than 5,000 population, all but 50 lie directly in the path of the system and it is said that at least 90 per cent of the total population live within ten miles of some route on these highways. An outstanding achievement in this direction has been the work done in selecting the roads to constitute the federal aid highway system. This hfis been done in accordance with the provisions of the federal highway act which require that a system of roads consisting of not more than seven per cent of the total rural mileage in each state be designated, and that all federal aid be spent on such a system. The total mileage of rural roads in the United States, as certified to by the various states, is 2,859,575, which will limit the federal aid high way system to 200,170 miles. At the end of the fiscal year thirty-five state systems, comprising 11.G95) miles, had been approved by the secretary of agriculture, and it was not thought likely that the initial program will exceed 180,000 miles. ■ .

Does Her Own Scolding A mother permits none hut herself o scold her offspring, nml no mother A Father’s Love Those of us who have children must think—do think—of the time when we shall occupy that silent home in the cemetery and of what is happening to the loved ones left behind. What a beneficent thing is life insurance. How it enables us to live in the hearts of those we must leave, as inevitably as the truest thing we know. One father would be oh so happy if he could look back today. He was a prosperous manufacturer in a small western city. He thought well of the new Trust Policy introduced by the New York Life in March 1922, for the payment of a regular monthly income to the beneficiary and, in addition, payments on the birthday of the beneficiary, and at Christmas time each year, for twenty years after he passed on. The first such death claim has just been settled. There were three policies of $10,000 each, in force only 1 year, 2 months and 19 days, made payable to each daughter as follows: $50.00 a month for twenty years. $25.00 at each Christmas for twenty years, and $27.50 at each birthday of the daughter for twenty years. How well he provided for everything. Each revives a flood of memories. Let's call the daughters by name. Ethel’s birthday, she’s 20, is October 14. Elizabeth, 17, September 4. Mary, 12, April 22. On each of those birthdays the mail man brings a birthday check. At each Christmas time a Christmas check. And every month for 20 years a check for $50 to each daughter—think of it, every month for twenty years. Can you imagine anything that will more fittingly perpetu ate the memory of a loving parent than some such arrangement as this?

THOMSON MERCANTILE MOTOR CO. c AREY Asphalt Roll Roofings cost but a | fraction of the price of tile, slate, metal, or wood shingles. They can be laid in a small fraction of the time it takes to lay other kinds of roofing. In spite of their low cost Carey Roll Roof ings serve from 10 to 20 years—depending on the weight of the particular roofing. If coated occasionally, they will last much longer. Thus Carey Roll Roofings represent the LOWEST POSSIBLE COST PER YEAR OF SERVICE. Thomson Hardware Co. Thomson, Ga. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE PROGRESS - NOW
