If the root be injured the leaves fall,
the branches break away and the tree
dies. Community pride begins where
agriculture leaves off. and both are
equal and inseparable in their impor-

existence for man.

Spend $1oo'ooo'ooo'
This country today has about 2,25O,-
600 miles or public highway, on whlch
1t Is estimated that the people Oh the
country are spending $15O,00O,OO0 an
nually. Statistics say we also spend
S2,0OOOOO,000 FOR alcohol, $0,OoO'OO0,OOo
for tobacco, ana it Is sa'd that the
ladies' spend S36o,ooo,o0o yearly TOT
candy. IL all this money could be ap-
propriated for road building we could
have turnpike to the moon,
The principal cause OF the homan
empires downfall was its neglect or
agriculture-the exodus OF Its men and
women from the farm to the city, the
life there to be spent In extravagant
ana rlotous living, 90 to any OF our
cities today and view the extrayagant
dress ana general trend or life Tor
Roman times are being repeated.
