1t is universal experince that

country and in ten years there

There are two million miles Of

fifty thousand miles of highway
shown on the mapis but fraction
over two per ceut of this mileage.
But improve these fifty thousand
miles into good roads, and keep
them good roads by proper
maintenance, and fifty thousand
mile more would grow almost
over night, and then another fifty
thousand and another and an
other, until our great country,
