There are many allied forces now at

of the country, and there is no let-up

to them in the making of good roads,

There has been deep interest IN d
movement in many parts OF the couh-
try to have farmers unite n an eIor'

radiate from market towns or snip

come from Mir. W. W. Finley the
president Of the Southern Railway
and chairman Of the exec
,tiye m of the American AS
sociation for Highway improvements
a statement urging the value OF such a
movement on the part OF the farmers
lie holds that the Improvement q
minor lines will be followed by the
construction of trunk HIGHWAYS. and
that thus a complete system OF thor
oughfares Will be in time established.
His statement Of his views concern
ing highway and good roads is OF
interest and is as follows:
.Broadly speaking, country high
WAYS may be divided into two gen
eral classes-those which may be de-
nominated trunk lines, running fol-
long distances and connecting the
cities and towns along heir routes,
and those which radIate from a mar
ket town or shipping station.
The first Of these classes-the
trunk line highways afford ideal
! routes for tourists. There are some
localities, especially those most fire.
quented by tourists, where the con
struction Of trunk line highways OF
this class is highly desirable. and THEN
Improvement necessarily benefits ths
farmers adjacent TO them.
At the risk. however. Of seeming

done to the greatest numbers, tn
farmer is more interested in the i'm

class. which / have mentsoned-thos

"The improvement Of these radiat

the farmer, but also to a large pro
