Economic greatness comes in for
strong consideration when figured in
connection with good roads. and one
eloquent and scholarly writer in
treating of the highway problem. has
spoken thus. Good roads touch in
timately the questions of morality and
religion; of education and refinement;
of hygiene, of health, of sanitation, of
pleasure and, in fact, of every interest
and activity in life
There is no question but what the
democratic party. apprecfating the
value of good roads to the farmer and
their necessity if the price of farm
products are to be reduced to the con-
sumer, will at Baltimore, put strong
plank fayoring good roads into their
party platform.
Develop model highways in the
rural sections of the west and eastern
prices will perforce, recede, for all
farm products have their prices es-
tablished, not on the initial cost of
production; but on the cost of trans
porting them from western farms to
eastern tables.
Good roads will do all those things
and more, and because the blessings
which may be had, are apparent to
few, there are powerful agencies at
work to force general awakening
that these great gifts to the people
may be made available.

Don't add to your troubles the inconvenience of doing Without a Telephone.
 There is no department of I f6usiness, professional or in- dustrial life in which 1t is not an essential part.
 No community, however small, can enjoy the full ad- vantages of modern life with out including the Telephone.
 By its use to the needs of humanity 1t has proved it's claims to rank as one of the necessaries of life.
 The farmer who wants to make his farm more profit able and life more pleasant for his family should have Telephone in his home. NEWARK TELEPHONE
