A little later the barkeeper came
over to Augustus desk and said:
"Say, August, the cost of living Is

want SO more a month"

GAINING BY GOOD ROADS.
The Farmer, Not the Motorist, Is 8ene.
fitted Nest.

1t is not unnatural that a wrong i'm.
preston prevails as to the class Of peo-
Pile who will be most benefited by good
roads, The enthusiasm of automobile
owners for good roads and the large
number Of cars seen in all parts Of the
country have given the impression that
the Automobiles will be the largest
gamers. This is. however. an errone-
Gus idea, as a "road census" taken
would show that the mOtorcar owners
are in the minority, and the people de-
irving the greatest benefit are the
farmers.
While the users Of motorcars may
assist in the work of creating public
sentiment in favor of road improve
ment, the real benefit to the country is
in the saving to the farmers in trans
portation and in the enhanced farm
production which better marketing IA
cilities engender. Many a farmer will
take to market over good roads load
of early potatoes for which he can get
$3.50 bushel. while with Lad roads 1t
would not have occurred to him to
plant them. The difference to him is
between a quick trip to town early in
the morning over an improved road or
slow, laborious trip, taking prac-
Hcally an entire day over bad roads.
1t is everywhere admitted that with
the improvement of our roads. farm
lands will greatly enhance in value
All of these arguments in favor Of
strong agitation for better roads should
receive the earnest attention of every
farmer
Our faithful servants, the horses and
mules, should also be considered in
this matter. as it is nothing less than
cowardly to let these patient, dumb
servants be dashed through mud and
ruts, straining every nerve to serve
