Romance Begun in Pennsylvania
Hills Leads to Wedding

Hills Leads to Wedding.
Sterling, H., Oct. ga romance
that began 80 years ago in the hills
of Pennsylvania finally resulted in
a wedding today, when Miss Ethel
Moore of Strasburg, Pa, and Willis
Burg, farmer of Carroll county,
were married. They left Immediately
for Pennsylvania, where they will
live.
Thirty years ago, in the county of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the couple
were schoolmates Miss Moore was
4 years old and Burg was 10
Twenty-eight years age they be-
came engaged. They were not OF
wealthy parentage and they decided
that the wedding should be postpon-
ed until Burg was able to support a
wife
Burg labored for eight years on
farms in Lancaster county, but ow-
ing to sickness he was unable to save
any money.
Twenty years ago Burg came west
and located in western Iowa, later
coming to Illinois. He invested in a
farm of $50 acres That was l 5 years
ago. and he made the purchase at
$500, paying half down and giving
a mortgage for the remainder. In Is
years he paid up the mortgage and
the farm increased in value.
Three days before the marriage
he sold the farm for S26, 600 Mean
while the young woman had accumu-
lated more than $4,000.

THE FARMER NOT
ONLY BENEFICIARY

The value of good roads not alone
to the farmer but to the city dweller
as well, is strikingly presented in
Bulletin No. / of the Farmers Good
Roads League The bulletin says on
this point:
lone of the most important and
pressing social and economic ques-
tons before the people today is that
of improving the highways. It's i'm
portance can hardly be overstat ed .
The food supply of the world passes
on wagons over country roads. In
tonnage it equals or exceeds the ag-
gregate of railway traffic. The condI-
ton of the public roads affects the
market conditions and through
these it reaches every citizen. Bad
roads interfere with the regular dis
tribution of food products. resulting
for fixed and regular demand. The
result is that some of the consumers
must go without certain articles for
the time being, while others are
forced 10 pay higher prices therefor.
The farmer in the meantime suffers
loss from his inability to reach the
market with what he has to sell.
The cost of delivering products
over bad roads is two or three times
greater than performing the same
service over good roads The general
Improvement of the highways of the
country is vastly more important to
the people as whole than the build
ing of the Panama canal, the i'm
provement of the inland waterways.
the irrigation of the semi-arid lands.
of the building of the lakes-to-the-
gulf waterway.
Every man, woman and child in
the land is directly affected by road
conditions. therefore the question is
not a local issue but one that con-
Germs the whole people, and is one
for the whole people to solve
| The bulletin also emphasizes the
I injury done to the good roads cause
by the expenditure of money unwise-
ly, that is the failure to provide real
ly good highways with the money
appropriated. On this point the bull
letin says:
There is no function of public
administration that has been so I'M
worthily performed as that relating
| to the care of the highways. There
has been enough money squandered
upon highways in the last century to
pay off the national debt and prob
ably the debts of many of the states
as well, Yet there is but little to
show for this vast expenditure
The people very naturally object
to heavy road taxes when the results
are so unsatisfactory, One soon tires
! of pouring water into rathole IN
less one can get the rat. Therefore
when any scheme for highway i'm
provement of any magnitude is pro-
posed, Immediately there is call to
arms, without waiting to consider
! whether or not the proposition is a
wise one
Road building is very rapidly be-
coming science and the percentage
of failures may be expected to de-
crease steadily. But wherever mon
ey has been squandered on roads, it
is very difficult to get public support
for road movements.
