came from county where the
roads were nearly all macadamized.
About IS years ago the people of
Sullivan county. Indiana, commenced
aG agitation for better roads, just /
as thev are here today. About half /
of the people wanted better roads /
and an election was called to de-
eide the question. At that time it
was proposed to build only three
miles n each direction out of town
four roads in all-making a total
Of twelve miles. By a very close
margin the proposition carried and
in the course of time twelve miles
OF maccadamized road was built.
Since hat time numerous elections
have been held for the same puf
pose and today there are 500 milS
of macadamized road in a cou4ty
Is mile square. The people Ire
Justly proud of their roads.
"The commercial value of these
roads might be estimated by 4 pm-
parison with ours. The farmers of
that section haul more grain Fith

I can with six horses. They doAall
their marketing easier and at much
less expense than we can. but !
take it that if we get started right
and all work together to give the
farmer what he is entitled to-good
roads-the same condition will pre-
vail here within a few years as that
which now prevails in that Indiana
county. The roblem of this whole
section of country is marketing
the vast amounts of wheat and
hay at less cost than at present. I'm

marketing is too great. The pric'
is lower now than it has been fol
several seasons and there does no
seem TO be any prospect of immedi

Mr.. Drake has had some expert
enoe with road bond questions back
in the old home state-Indiana'
and. therefore, is in better posi-
ton to judge the merits of this
method than many of us are.
Good roads is the topic for dis
cussion in every corner now days
so 1 will have my say if this does
rot fall in the waste basket. ]

BE YOUR OWN JUDGE
Whether bonds will bene-
fit farmers depends up
on how much wheat they
have to haul and how far
they have to haul it. 1t is
just simply business ques-
ton and a very simple one
at that. The cost of mar
keting this crop is the
problem which confronts
the farmer. If he has 1000
sacks of wheat to haul any
distance, his entire tax is
a small item compared to
what it costs him to haul
his wheat to market. II
he has 1000 or 5000 sacks
to haul, as many of them
have, he is his own best
Judge as to what it costs.
Repair bills on wagons
will pay several times the
amount of the tax for many
) farmers.

success was so pronounced that in the

Miss Jansen to 90 to London 10 create

WON'T RAISE EMBARGO

Not Be Raised-Denies Mexican
Officials Were Present
Pass Christian, Miss, Jan.

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan.
President Wilson announced l.
that his conference with Lind -
developed no change of policy tow
ard Mexico, also that no new move
had been decided upon.
He said that the conference was
to get together for mutual infor-
nation" and that few hours COIL
versation was worth more than weeks
of telegraphic communication.
When told of the rumors that Pro-
visional President Huerta or some
other high official of the Mexican
government was aboard the Ches-
ter, the president smiled saying,
well, didn't see them if they
were there" He laid emphasis on
the statement that nothing like rails
ing the embargo on arms had been
discussed
The president today took Linds
two sons, Norman and John, in his
automobile eight miles to the launch
landing, where they started out to
the battleship to see their father.
1t is evident that the pres. dent
does not wish Lind to return to tn
United States until the Mexican
problem has been settled. Lind is
to keep Wilson in intimate touch
with the developments in Mexico.
