Auto Congestion in the
Larger Cities.
HALSEY. OREGON, THURSDAY MARCH 17. 1927
ning a car into the crowded muddle
of cars in cities.
Returning to the farm situation,
we find that Mr. Ford, the biggest
success in the auto business, has his
limitations. He failed in hl® attempt,
years ago, to tame the German war
lord, and up to date has failed to
produce the synthetic dairy products
he predicted. The demand for milk,
butter and cheese grows steadily fa st­
er than the population, and no oleo­
margarine has been produced that
would take the place of these pro­
ducts in promoting healthy growth
among the young. Nothing yet dis­
covered can take the place of the
pure juice of the cow in producing
healthy development of children. Our
dairy interests are on a sound foun­
dation.
Horae sense has points of superior­
ity over man sense. If horses were
drawing all nur vehicles not one of
tba latter would attempt to climb a
telephone pole, butt a brick wall or
navigate a roadside ditch where hun­
dred* do now. Henry Ford, since
the time when, as a boy, he built a
horseless carriage that traveled, has
made a success at supplying a large
part of the country with mechanical
horses, but these are brainless and
Henry has not provided brains for
the men who operate them. As a
result as many people are killed or
maimed yearly in auto accidents as

With the fast-moving car and im­

is now appearing in the press, which
reflects the life of the nation. There
is congestion of travel on the high­

are struggling with the ever-growing
