GOOD ROADS ARE PRO TABLE
Loss to Farmers In This Country

The subject Of good roads is like

season the topic recurs with painful
tns1stence. Even in this enlighten-
ed age when inventive genius is do
ing everything that can be done to i'm

there are places where the roads are
SO seriously neglected that one can
scarcely pass over them with a me-

The loss to the farmers in this
country that can be traced directly
to bad roads, is almost inconceivable,
says Kimbalrs Dairyn Ian. 1t is not
the purpose to try to compute this
account here. The expense Of haul
ing, the waste of time in going for
repairs or in doing other necessary
errands are all increased by poor
roads. These are conditions Of eco
nominal importance but there is an
other side to the good road question
that is Of equal Importance and that
is the social effect.
