M. SHAW JACKSON, Mich., July 22. - special) This county's traos- pieteJy fail to a point where the moTement of the necessities of life wui be stopped. In the automobile this nation has a permanently effi cient and. ever ready second line of transportation capable of vast capacity as to passengers, larger perhaps than that actually avail able In the railroads. In the mat ter ot short hauls of freight the motor track is proved to a point where the railroads are seriously considering them as competition. What a wonderful thing it is for tWs country, with its vast and diversified production, its activi ties reaching from coast to coast, to be as secure in the distribution of this volume of merchandise as the automobile and motor truck make us. Good Roads Xecery. Good roads are necessary to maintain this second line of trans, porta ti on and this year it is evi dent that tba amount of new good road mileage will exceed the building of any previous year.

However, the advance of the automobile went steadily on into the farming communities. The ease with which the farmer could run into town and back a-ain, and then over to a nieghbor's to borrow a tcol or take one back, and then on again to do count less other errands, nuicklv oM the automobile to him. Its ad vantages to him must first be ob vious, land with those properly presented, the automobile came into its own in every farming community in the country. Now: that the farmer had an automobile, the program for new and better roads was viewed dif ferently. He was favorSble to it. He saw what it meant to him.

Thus each comes into the rone, of the other, learns the modes of living there, and some of mei problems.

If the farmer had to buy trans portation on the railroad every time he visited his nearest big city, his trips would be infrequent. But the automobile the second line of transportation makes him independent. All he needs is a good road to make the drive pleasant, and he is working hard fori that now.
