The Big Firm with The Big Reputation AMERICAN SASH DOOR CO. Kansas City, Mo. Now For a Big Time Over The Roads and Waterways of the State 143 Miles of Paving at $3,242,521. The engineers of Kansas are planning big things for the roads in this state. They intend to tear them up, straighten them out and lay them back in a finished and refined way.

Were all tired of wading and driving through a foot or two of mud pulling up steep hills and crossing on treacherous bridges. Weve put up with these conditions too long, as it is; -far to long. Now were going to do things. Were going to fix them up. In brief, plans are nearly completed for 143 miles of road paving at a cost of at least $3,242,521.

The county engineers all over the state are drawing plans for it. Kansas has lagged far behind the procession in building roads. With her 111,052 miles of road there are actually only 1,149 miles in any way surfaced. Kansas roads are less than 1 per cent surface, while those of Massachusetts which holds the record are 45 per cent paved. Kansas is almost at the foot of the class as far as road construction is concerned.

But, according to the State Highway Commission, Kansas has at last awakened and is going to build roads in a fashion to startle all of her sister states. Well Lets Go. 4 ATE BOARD APPROVES HILLSBORO COLLEGE. $100,000 Tabor College Project Can Now Be Started. THE ELL-KAY MFG.
