GOOD ROADS PAY.

Frank Terris, fai mer Who attended the
Washinkton q o Roads association con-

plaine1 how qo,d ROADS had paid him.
He raises great deal Of cabbage. Last
year he raised 10 tons and year before
800 tons. In 1905, before The road from
his farm To the market was improved,
he did not undertake 70 haul more than
one ton oi cabbage to load BY the
harvesting season OF 1906 the road had
been improved and he hauled two and
one-half tons at load. He lives sixteen
miles from the market. He believes
hat for every dollar spent for good roads
the people will get 80 back. One can
soon compute the saving to him. With
q crop OF 100 tons, it would take a man
and team 100 days to take it to market
with roads in the condition they were
formerly. After they we're improved it
would take man and team but forty
days To market the same crop. There is
a saving Of sixty days work Of man and
team.
