good road is the best thing to
build and the drearieSt thing 10 write
about IN the whole world. When
you've said that the difference be-
tween good road and a bad one is
the difference between an efficient
civilization and the jungle, you've told
the whole story. But there ia long
and most cheerful story that might be
told about the present progress CT road

thanks to the general awakening OF
the people ana to the coming OF the
motor car.
La a dark corner of one of the south
ern states-a country that God had
forgotten and few men had discovered
the sparse population arose a year
or two ago and said to one another:

mony of Roy Farr and VIM. Farr, the

the stand. He described the Hooker
brand" and stated that he owned the
only cattle in the valley bearing this
brand He testified also that the cat
tie and hide found at the Ford ranch
belonged to him. also that after
certain length of time after the dis
covery at the Ford place the latter
offered him a check he had received
from party in Imperial who bought

fore.
Nor is that all. The people OF the
lonely and formerly unvisited region
themselves had stayed at home for
lack of roads that tempted them to
travel. But as soon as they had good
roads they began to go about. The
more prosperous OF them bought mo-
torcars to tit the roads. Then they be-
gan to take tours. They now go to ad-
jacent states. to the mountains. to the
sea-wherever they will--in their tour
ing cars They ir'e becoming a Travelled

More yet. They have become so
thoroughly convinced of the value OF
good roads that an enterprislng fellow
in an adjacent county began the pub
icatiOn of good roads magazine.
They felt an impulse to tell the rest of
the world OF the value OF their discOv-
ery-that good roads pay thus. while
bad road lends nowhere and the
sooner it ends the better good road
may lead TO anything.

TOBACCO DECISION TODAY
U. S. Supreme Court Expected 10
Hand Down Opinion in Afternoon.
A MOST COMPLICATED CASE
Five Unlawful Combinations Are
Found by Lower Court
81 Other Cases.

Washington, May 2s.-After a four years
contest the so-called Tobacco Trust case
probably will he disposed Of to-morro" W
the Supreme Court of the United STATES
II will he the last day Of the present term
and unless the case is reached then its de-
cision will be postponed until next OCTOBER
AZ least.
Many regard the case as the most COM
plcated suit that has ever reached the Su-
preme Court as result Of the Sherman
antitrust act. Instead OF only one comoi-
nation 10 be dealt with. as In the Standar"
oil case, decided by the court two weeks
ago, The lower court held that there were
Ave unlawful combinations. These were the
American Tobacco Company. the AmeH-
can Snuff Company. the American cigar
Company. the American Stoge Company
and the MacAndrews e. Forbes Company
the last being concerned in the manu-
facture OF licorice paste. These were re-
strained from engaging in interstate COM
merce..
In addition 10 these FIVE combinations
the lower court found that there were
seven corporations which held stock in
some thirty or forty other corporations
forbade the seven corporations from ac-
curing the plants OF the issuing corpora
tons or from controlling them. The seven
corporations were the American Tobacco
Company. the American Snuff Company
the American Cigar Company. p. Lorillard
q Co, the r. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
rany. Blackwells Durham Tobacco Com
pany and the Conley Foil Company.
Still further, the court must pass on the
charges that some OF the acts OF the So
called British Tobacco Trust. the Imperial
Tobacco Company and OF the British
American Tobacco Company, corporation
organized by the two so-called trusts
TO handle the worlds tobacco business out
side Great Britain and America, have NO
lated the law Another question is whether
the individual defendants, headed by
James B. Duke. should have been held to
have violated the law.
Some expect that the Standard OIL de-
cision may again come to the attention Of
the court through an attempt Of the oil
attorneys 10 procure another hearing. such
an application might delay issuance OF
the mandate for the dissolution or the
Standard oil Company OF New Jersey until
next October
Resides the tobacco case thirty-seven
other cases under consideration Nv the
court remain undecided 1t Is expected tina
decisions in most of these Will be announced
tomorrow Among these are the federa
employers liability case, the hours ol
