"The aovernor estimates that work approximating more than n million dollars In value will result." GAINING HV GOOD IIOADS. IT IS not unnatural that a wrong Impression prevails as to the class of people who will be most ueneflted by good roads. The en thusiasm of nutomohlle owners for good roads and the largo number of cars seen In all parts of tne country have given the Impression that tho nutotuoblllsts will be tho largest gainers. This Is, however, an erroneous Idea, as a "road cen sus," taken would show that the motorcar owners are In the minority, and the people deriving the greatest beiierit are the farmers. While the users of motorcars imiv nstdiit In the work of crentlng public sentiment In favor of road Improve "in. the real benefit' to the coun try In In the saving to the farmers In transportation and In tho en hanced farm production which bet ter marketing facilities engender. Many n farmer will take to market over good roads a load of early po tatoes for which he can get $l.ti( a bushel, while with had roads It would not have occurred to him to plant them. Tho difference to him Is between a quirk trip to town early In the morning over nu Im proved road or a slow, laborious trip, taking practically an entire day over bad roads. It Is every where admitted that with the Im provement of our roads, farm lands will greatly enhance In value. All of these arguments In favor of a strong agitation for better roads should receive the earnest attention of every farmer. Our faithful servants, the horses and mules, should also he consider ed In this matter, as It Ih nothing less than cowardly to let these pa tient, dumb servantH he lashed through mud and ruts, straining every nerve to serve. .SPORTING VACATIONS - "LEARN ONE THING EVERY DAY"- ffi I vAmiwiwS vn. .1. i:.vi'i.oiti.V(i Copyright, 1013, by Tho Associated Newspaper School, Inc.
