"Good Roads!" "The good roads
movement." "The need of better
roads." These are phrases we see in
tne newspapers and hear upon the
street Everybody agrees that we
need better roads, iarfd everywhere
We need is plainly lelt.
But while everyone agrees that bet
tar roads could bo beneficial to the
country, some 'have not been convin
ced that it will pay to make the ex
penditure necessary to procure them.
This makes it necessary to recount
and sum up the many benefits to be
derived from better highways. This
will be my purpose in this essav. leav
ing it to others to count the cost and
determine the means of securing bet
ter roads.
Of course everyone knows it is not
very comfortable traveling on a road

pleasant to meet anyone just where

Suppose, for instance, you live
about four miles from town. Yon have
a good crop of apples. You pack your
apples -well, and yon are going to
sell them for a good price. You start
out with your apples and your road
is full of chuck-holes. Your apples are
bruised and your horses are worn out
by the time you get to town. Perhaps
one of your horses has sprained a
muscle from stepping in a hole. You

would want to move our armies quick
ly from place to place. With the roads
we have now it could not be done. We
would need roads that we could rush
automobiles with guns from place to
place in any season.
The 'Romans built roads before
Christ was born. They are still using
them after two (thousand years. 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

keep the besT people on the farm; and,
last but not least, they are a means of
