Importanee Of country Roads
The country road IS the origin


The country road is the original
/. ar.sry of trade and commerce.
While the railroads carry an i'm
menss tonnage ana form q magni-
ficent system of transportation. yet
it is a fact that all the agricultural
products which they carry, and
which form the most important
part of their traffic, must first be
hauled over the country road If
the farmer can only haul half as
much over q poor road as he can
haul over an improved one. he
must pay double prices for getting
his product to market, and must-of
necessity require the city consumer
to make good portion of this adj
ditional expense. when the condi-
lions enable him to do so. There
are many times. however. on 40
count of his inability to market
his produce at the proper time, be
cause of the present or prospective
condition of the roads over which
he must travel, that he is unable
to get fair price for his products,
and not only the heavy charges
due to bad roads themselves. come
out of the pocket of the farmer.
but the additional profits he might
secure if he could take his produce
to market. when the consumer
wants it and is willing to pay a
reasonable price as we'll.

discovered to bis horror that it was
a child wrapped in blanket.
Engineer Dye made every effort
to stop the train, down brakes

piled with discrimination.
The train of eighteen. oars had
sufficient impetus. however, that
all human power could not stopit.
and it slid on looked wheels over
the form of the little one deep in
slumber.
Before the train was brought to
a standstill it had passed over the
little slumber its full length. AS
soon as it was stopped the engin-

it wss lying on the track crying
and suffering as the result of q
slight wound to the forehead where
it had been bruised by the train in
passing. Almost by a miracle the
little one had escaped further in

1t was noticed that little form
was lying directly in the center and
this saved it's life. It was taken to
