TOWNSPEOPLE INTERESTED.
Concerned In Condition of Roads as
Much az Farmers.

Not n few people make the mistake
of supposing that the good roads ques-
tion is one for farmers mainly. THE
people who live in towns" declared the
Illinois state engineer recently in
goods road speech at Peoria. "are con-
cerned in the general condition of the
roads as much as the people who live
out of the towns ON the highways"
This is very true.
While the farmers reap directly the
most benefit, pleasure and convenience
from good roads. the condition of the
roads affects the towns vitally. The
average community finds business ex-
tremely dull when the rural popula-
ton is bottled up by mud.
There are times in the United States
in this dawning twentieth century
when conditions obtain that existed in
England 500 years ago; when produce
needed in town for food rots few
miles out in the country because the
farmer can't haul it.
