lesson. The average man must be

the necessity of good roads becomes

truth that bad road is extravaganza

the factory is perhaps nearly or quite
a. great and to the farmers who were
unable to take advantage of the prenli-

shutdown possibly more than twice the
total of these amounts. The combined
loss would improve considerable
