INDIVIDUAL WORN ON ROADS.

All who realize the Importance OF
good roads-and that is most .eVeIy
one now-will wish the Rural Road
Improvement League success in it's
efforts to have State Road Day OBJ
Virginia citizens.
The plan OF the league is to per
Suadc every able-bodicd citizen to
give his labor and that of his team
for one day to working the roads in
his vicinity. The idea has been In
dorsed by many city and State OH
Gals, and, as its success has been
demonstrated in many Southern
States. notably Missouri, support
should not be lacking
Work on the roads OF the State for
one day by all the citizens would i'm
prove immensely many hundreds Of
miles of road in Virginia II would
do more in one day than can he done
by state and counties In many
months.
May 81 is State Road Day.
We know OF no better way TO oh
serve il than according to the plan
of the Rural Road Improvement
League, and when the members OF
that league meet in Richmond. MAY

can report observance Oh The part of
