Wars are unavoidable but good
roads are necessity. The man who
will give his country good roads has
done more to entitle him to a monu-
ment than the philanthropist who en-
dows an asylum. A feature about
good roads is that they can be easily

a community. Everyone is helped;
every farmer, every dairyman, every
pleasure rider, every merchant, every
footman. The country and the city
are alike benefited and improved.
