For years there lias been felt the need of a tannage
of leather which wouKl successfully withstand the
ammonia of the barnyard.
Ever Miiee the old-fashioned Wax Calf Kip Skins
were in vogue there have been complaints about
the service of shoes subjected to usage in and alout
stables and barnyards. This new leather is especi
ally prepared and tanned with a view of filling this
long felt want.
These shoes are made in Tan and Black leath

i;iiit;iii)ciiI. has undertaken, or
soon will, to assist tin Cuppen-
leims and other mull i-million-
lire interests to prab this one
IllldeV eloprd portion of on:'
im try.
This situation has in a manner
iinconscioiidv sunk into lh' minds
f llii- people and shifted their in-
i-rt'st fi-om 'doilal ion t ''I'o-
nomit'al use, from lii'rdlosin'ss
in all branrhi's "f n" n-Iations
iniluslrial, political, sorial and
jurdic ti an inhnsf scrutiny.
t i as if the c;isi of crowd in '.r
the feelinLr of a limitation ami of
thousands around us has hrou-ht
the country to a realization that
pione-i' tTrnes are over and that
this country must soon lake on
the methods of F.uropenn ones.
Slates and counties, towns and
villages iniil study their local
needs and ue the mo.-t intelligent
means to build up and improve
I licit- imlhidual communities.
Theie is no one subject in tin
1 ii it I'd Slates to, ,iy so ital as ha I
of "mill coii'ilry T-oads, and lh
fact is rapidly becomimr known
lliniti'jli'iiil the length and hreadlh
of the land. The need is nil! onl
realized, hid a-sociations of a na
tional and local character are he
intr formed and steps taken to put
before the farmers and townsmen
the vi'al necessity of improving
the highways in eery state of the
I'nion.
Tlu re is a national organiza
tion known as the I"uite( slates
liimil ftoads association, of which
Tnited Slates S'-nator John TI
liankhead of Alabama is the
president. This body will hold a
convention this year at Tulsa.
Okla.. August IS. !. and 20. ami
the meetinir will undoubtedly have
a ood influence on that portion
of the country in p-ood roads
sentiment. Interef on the sub-,
.jeel is Ljrowinir in the south all
the time. In Louisiana, which
probably, asid" from Mississippi,
is the most backward slate in the
1'nion in the material develop
ment of its natural resources, is
awaken in-', and one Parish-dal-casien
has ftium.ouo in bank at
Lake ("barb's and is now spending
the entire amount on pood road
in that parish.
There arc now outstanding in
the different states nearly ?i00.
000. 000 of poo, I roads bonds. II
is therefore evident lhaf whatever
may be the faults in methods of
construction ami maintenance,
money is heinp spent in snllicienl
quantity to brin-: about a vast
improvement in Ihe public roads.
On January 1. 101.'!, there were
l :J7,000.000 of stale and road
bonds authorized and 1 fi(.ono.
000 of county roads outstanding,
making a total of S2te.ono,000.
This statement is based on re
ports from about 75 pep cent of
the counties in the United Stales,
and as a larpe number of the in
dividual townships did not report
it is estimated that Ihe amounts
not reported would run the ap"
prepale up to probably .'r.'J'iO.OOO,
000. to which should be added ten
or fifteen million dollars of Ihe
bonds voted in 1 1 1 2, w Inch have
not yet. been issued.
(iratifyinpr progress in road
construction durintr the past few
years is indicated by the state
ment, that while the per centape
of all road improvements in the
I'niled States at the Hose of l'lOO
was 8.CG per cent, the revised
statistics to lleceinber ."I I , I V I I,
showed an improved milt-ape of
10. t per cent, or a net pain of I . i 1
per rent. This does not sound so
impressie in terms of percent
age, but il means ihat in the two
years' period more than .'ii.ooo
miles of improxcil loads were
constructed.
II has been said by a compe
tent authority Ihal emniph money
lo build I'lteeu Panama canals
would be saed each year in this
country if we had p 1 roads. Ac
curate lipuriuir has demonstrated
that the cos of hauliup one ton
Miii1 mile on a pood, hard, level
mad. by hot -edraw n wagons is S
cents. The aerap- d. in the
I'niled Stales js -J'! cents a mile,
and in certain sections of the
countrs- as hi-ii as ." 5 ,-euls.
I'.ery ear n.oOu.nmi.onn tons
of freipht are h iub'd oer lb"
roads of the country and since Ihe
aera-e haul is about ten miles
the IraHv anlounls to ro.oo0.oo0
!ou-n:iles a year. At the average
of 2.') cents a ton-mile for the en
tire country the cost of haulinp
by wa-ons reaches the sla-periiiL;-sum
of si .no n.o i lO.o i m a ear. If
this would only cof S cents a
mile, (he whole country would
sae seven and one-half billion
dollars.
There are approximately J..'!00.
0m miles ,,r highway in the I'nit--d
Stales. (if these n one mile
an Iruly be called a raiiona!
Iiihway, while the percentage
-f slate hiphways is i-elativcly
small probablv well under T per
cent of the total. I! can there
fore be said that over '.." per cent
iT Ihe country are under the con
!ro of counties or local com
munities. With this conditio?) of
i (Tail's il is lit I le wonder Ihat less
'ban to per cent of all our roads
have anv semblance of improve
ment whatever.
The superficial area of Ne-!ira-ka
is 7t".-S0S squar e miles and
the state ranks lifleenth in Ihe
I'niled Stales. Nebraska's pres
nt mileape of public roads is ,S0.
".'5S, and Ihe stale ranks ninth in
he I'uion. I'p to (he present lime
here has been no stale money ev
nemlcd on buildin? p"oo, roads.
Some counties, like louplas,
Sarpy ami a few others, have con
structed permanent roadways.
These have been built by means
of (be inheritance lax paid by de
cedeuls, and under the law de
vole,) o road building.
The subject of permanent road
buihliup- is entitled to the earnest
consideration of every taxpayer
in I lie county, for it means a preat
deal Inwards the up-buildiup- of
the county ami the permanent
enhancement of land values.
("ass coiinly is Ihe most beauti
ful portion of this pieally favored
stale. It can easily be made one
of the beauty spots, ih only of
Nebraska, bill of the whole coun
try. IPs broken and beautifully
wooded topopiapliy aloiiy Ihe Mis
souri river affords views of varied
landscapes as fail' lo look upon as
any the con nl ry affords.
Why not awake lo this fact and
spend the money necessary to
make this county a xast park for
slraupers and an earthly paradise
for its residents? The money
spent would be returned to the
taxpayers many fold in increased
values and lowered cost of trans
portation. There is an association known
as Ihe National lliphways associa
tion, formed by ninf from all over
the United Slates, that has work
ed out a tentative plan for a .r0,
000-mile system of national lliph
ways. Its mileape includes every
stale and portion of the entire
country. Tn this plan Nebraska
forms a part of the LakcMoun-tain-Pacific
Trunk National High
way, which enters at Omaha urn
crosses the stale via IMal tsmoul h
Lincoln, llastinps, Uoldrepe am
McCook to Denver, Od.? am
poes (hence .av est over the moun
tains to Salt Lake and reaches (h--
Paeilic repion at Los Anpeles
Cal. The other' is known as th
Nebraska Link Natural lliphwav
hepinninp at Omaha, run
Ihiouph Fremont, Norfolk, Ains
worth and (madron and connect
with the Hock Mountain lliphway
at Douplas, Wyo.
It is proposed by the Naliona
lliphways association, first, that
the national poveiinenl shall con
struct a primary system. of hiph
ways exlemlinp- over the entire
counfr-y, and embracing tlms--1
routes which are now. or w ill com
to be. through routes of travel
and inlerslale in character. Willi
in each slate they will also sup
plement the slate hiphway sys
lem with the additional advant
aire of connector-- up tin' ysleui
if ndjoiiitnp- states. They slmubl
be built. maiutain.",I and owned
by the national povern men I , un-
ter f!o direction of a national
hiphway commission.
Similarity, each stale should
consfruH a secondarv system of
highways which would embiac.-
all the main inler-cnunly routes,
and thus bind lo-:e!h' r 'ill por
tions of the state. Within e.-.Hi
county thev will also supp'emeid
the coirily road system with th-'
additional advanlaL:,' of conuect-
inp- up Ihe systenis of adjojninp
counires. i m se stale n iiw a r s
hould be built, maintained and
owned bv the state, under the di
rection of a stale hiphway com
mission.
Apain. each county should take
care of a tertiary .system of roads
which would bind topelher- all
parts of the county ami art as
feeders to the .-fate highways.
These roads should In- built, main
tained and owned sob-ly by ihe
county. After- (lies,, county roads
l.'i-re would, still be left a few
roads, purely local in character,
ami peneially with li-:ht fraliic.
Tlu-s,. local roads, feed, rs (be
county roads, should be lake)
pare of by tin I own or township.
It will be seen as a result of
the propose, tour-fold s - e I
above outlined. there will be
obtained a seperal e- and distinct
field of imhavoi- for naliona'.
stale, county and township road
o:';'cias. and likewise a certain de
finite object for nalioiifU. slate,
county ami township road ap
propriations. No one will en
croach upon or be hampered bv
:: ly of the others. ( 'on sequen 1 1 v
111-- eti'-ciem-y of each Would be
vastly increased, and the scope
pr-eailv enlarged. Furthermore,
il would take the present heavy
burden of road construction from
"If Ihe shoulders of the mliio ci:l
sub-div is ions and distribute if
equitably amouL' Ihe larpep and
richer communities.

FOR THE SMALL INVESTOR
N the famous l'ine Bluffs, Wyoming, farming district is
ft land that is yicldinp; from CO to 100 bushels of oats per
aero in a normal year, wheat 30 to 40 bushels and Max
15 to 27 bushels per acre. These statements are backed by
facts and are p-uaranteed to be true.
Two of the largest elevators in Wyoming are at Pine Bluffs
and oats sell for more in Pine Bluffs than in Chicago.
More than 1,000 cars of grain were shipped out from there
last year.
.lust think for S15 to S25 Per Acre I am selling choice
level farming land in the Pine Bluffs district on terms as
low as one-tenth cash, then one-tenth each year until paid.
Defer red payments draw 0 per cent, interest.
Come and see me and let me explain this proposition to you
fully, for it is hard to beat and might mean a great deal
to you.
