THE AUTOMOBILE WOULD BE HELPLESS
WITHOUT HIGHwAYR
few years has been invariably follow
ed by better living conditions. Where
the roads leading into large city
have been improved we have seen an
increased supply Of foodstuffs on the
local markets and larger number of
farmers bringing their products into
the city. This, of a necessity, results
In lower prices for the products and a
long step toward better conditions.
On the other hand. the improvement
OF roads throughout the country is In
variabiy followed by an improvement
In farming methods. The agricuiturfst
who heretofore devoted his energies to
grazing and the production of rough
foodstuffs, such as corn. is now turn
ing to what Is known as market gar
dening He is raising potatoes, beans,
peas and other commodities that are
In everyday demand simply. because
he can get them to market, where here
tofore markets were denied him. 1t
is no uncommon sight now to see farm
ers driving eighteen or twenty miles to
market with loads of produce, which.
before the highways were improved,
were denied the consumer The auto
mobile, it is true, has had great deal
to do with increasing this supply, but
even this vehicle would be helpless
without highways on which to run.
The advent Of good roads, too, has
brought about another revolution
that of intensive farming. The coun-
tries Of the old world have always re-
garded us as a criminally wasteful peo-
pie in that the product raised on 100
acres of land in this country was
often less than they produced on ten
acres. Good roads have changed this
condition. The American farmer now
finds that he will get greater return
from one acre of land intensively cul-
tivated than ten acres farmed In the
old slipshod manner would heretofore
produce. This intensive farming is
the direct result Of good roads, for
where the farmer heretofore found 1t
necessary to cultivate crops, which
made large bulk. so that his infre-
quent trips to market were profitable,
now finds that he can take a small
load to the consumer as often as he
desires.
Good roads are a blessing, and this
every one who has given the matter
any thought will admit. They not only
promote increased industrial activity
and therefore better the living condi-
lions Of thousands of our city jewellers,
but they provide an improved social
life for people who live in the country.
The family which has access to good
road and therefore quicker and more
pleasant trips goes to church oftener,
visits the nsighbors oftener and at
tends farmer club meetings more fire.
quently. No one can deny that all OF
these are important factors In the
farmers life.

10 One Of the Most Important Fac

The building OF good roads is the
one biggest and most important factor
which this country must consider in
the next few years. The improved
highway is the one means Of salvation
for the poor man, for in these days of
high cost Of living we must look to the
cheaper transportation Of foodstuffs as

pect to better our condition through
greater supply Of necessaries, for every
effort we have made toward lowering
the cost of foodstuffs heretofore has
been met with the response that the
United States is now about as inten-

er words, our people are no longer
turning to the country in an effort to
produce a larger amount Of food.

OF getting along with the same amount
that Is now produced.
The only solution left for US Is to
cut our cost Of production and deliv-
cry. The best way to accomplish this
Is to provide good roads, for we have
already had many demonstrations Of
how good roads will work to our adj
vantage.

The controversy aroused by Sir Sid
ney Lees article on Edward VII In the
Dictionary of National Biography"
has not yet died out. Not only did IT
call forth an enormous amount OF criti-
clsm and questioning Of sources ana
facts, II even led to decidedly undig-
nified personal abuse OF its author,
while, at the same time, other adj
mirers Of the late King, like Mr.. Legge,
went to injudicious lengths in claiming
rank for him with the greatest mon
archs Of history. Sir Sidney, however,
has stood by his guns through 1t all,
and it is now announced that he is ex-
panding the article into Life Of King
Edward VII" shortly to be published.
Important papers, not hitherto acces-
sible, have been placed in the authors
hands, and he hopes to present a we'll
authenticated record Of the King s
reign, in much fuller detail than was
