1.-The automobile will stop the en-
odus of the farmers retiring to the
city and causes them to stay at the
old farm home" is the statement
which James NJ. Powers OF I.awtOn,
Oklahoma, secretary Of the COmanche,
County Good Roads Association. is
quoted as making, land build houses
for the tenants on the place instead
of moving to Il new residence in town.
The future automobile will provide
for the farmer attaching belt to do
his grinding, pumping, saving wood
and other purposes for which Il motor
is needed. The farmer has more
uses for the automobile than the city
man. He has to travel further to do
his trading, to attend church and
social events and does not have the
benefits Of the street cars. The future
motor will pillow the land, plant and
harvest the crops and deliver them
to market and will take the school
children to and from the country
graded high school,
