of the Exchange National Bank, the

! Il am heartily in support Of the
| suggestion of The World that we have
Good Roads Day, and that every
body lend hand. ! believe that the
question Of good roads is one Of the
most important before the people to-
| day and that the lack of good road
system has seriously iutcrfcrrd with
the growth Of the farming industry i'm
this part Of the state We are prone
| to complain about the lack of the
| development of the truck farming in
! dustry when, If we consider the sub
ject from all angles. we will realize
| that farms without roads are impos-
! sble. How would the farmer get his
| produce to market II he did not have
! a road What inducement is there
| for man to locate I'm the country IL
| he cannot get to town whcnever n
rains What object is there for n
man to go three miles ont of Tulso
| and build hImseIf a suburban homo
Half of the time ne would have ia
remain in town over night because
| the lack of a road system is too an
parent TO need comment"
