the next county fair is to be discussed

Guilty In securing interested audiences,
and It will be the exception II results
are not manifested either In the
change of feeling or in the organiza-
ton OF a reform movement. Meetings
Of boards OF trade, oranges, both state
and local; educational conventions,
chambers OF commerce and such func-
tions are also good starting points for
effective work In the good roads move

Public spirited thinkers whose

wisdom of pushing the proeagandn
