AUTOMOBILING.

Coincident with the growing popularity of the
automobile has come the call for a rebuilding
and general improvement of the highways in
this and other states. 1t may be readily under

Is dependent. to a large extent, upon good roads,
and the call should not be in vain. There ap-
pears TO be a growing feeling IN favor Of legiS-
laton to this end, and extensive improvements
can be looked for in the next few years. The
farmers are beginning TO look with favor on
motor vehicles, and many persons who were
antagOnistic to automobilists on general prin-
ciples are changing their views and joining the
big army Of those who. now that they have the
automobiles, want and demand good roads. The
desired end could be reached quicker if the
motorists would only observe the laws Of the

bile industry must travel hand in hand and ell

roads which could never have been secured in
any other way.
