Why can't we do the same? The advantages of good roads to a community are as follows: They save money in shipping your products; they save horses and time; they keep me cniiaren on tne larm; and tney keep the besT people on the farm; and, last but not least, they are a means of defence for a nation. money if it does not relieve.
