C%SCIISHS nCdSOHS why

From Tuesdays Daily.
w. w. Finley chairman of the execu

citation for Highway improvement
makes an earnest plea to the farm
ers to join forces to improve country
highways which radiate from mark
ct towns or shipping centers.
He says, among other things:
Broadly speaking country high
ways may be divided into two gener.
al classes-those which may be de-
nominated trunk lines, running for
long distances and connecting the
cities and towns along their routes,
and those which radiate from a
market town or shipping station.
The first of these classes-the trunk
line highways ideal routes for
tourists There are some localities

ment necessarily benefits the farmers
adjacent to them. The farmer, how
ever, is more interested in the
improvement of the roads of the second
class. BY giving attention, first,
to those parts of the roads imme-
diately adjacent to the towns and
shipping stations and extending inn
proycments out into the country year
after year as funds may become
available, entire regions will in time
be traversed by good roads. The
Improvement of these radiating roads
will be beneficial to not only the
farmer, but also to a large proportion
of the dwellers in cities and towns.
They will enlarge the trade of re-
tail merchants, facilitate the work
of rural mail carriers and extend
limits within which local newspapers
can be circulated ON the day of
publication"
