Moreover, IL did not occur to Taft that
he ought seriously to take his young

great thing They featured the novel

the boost for road improvement COM
bined in the one stunt but both the
newspapers and the boosters failed Ut
terly to see the real discovery made by
the booster club.
Stop to think Of 1t for moment. If
automobiles are good to draw a road
drag why not use them for hauling
grain and hay and hogs over the high
way? Why not use them to draw a
gang plow? Where Is the end to the
automobile in the traction business
anyway?
