(By Homer ID. Wade, Chairman OF
Good Roads Committee National
Farmers Union.)

No other citizen realizes the value
OF good roads as does the farmer.
A community can safely be judged
by the kind Of highways it maintains.
The great chasm between the pro-
ducer and the consumer is the mud
hole
Production must cease when the
transportation costs eat up the
profits.
There is something radically
wrong with the farmer who is op-
posed to good roads.
Without good roads there can be
no development that will be perma-
nent and enduring.
Bad roads keep children away
from school and impair the efficiency
Of church work in a community.
The elementary principles invol-
we'd in improved highways are social
and domestic happiness and business
economies.

THE INSPECTION OFFICER
POWERS OPPOSE JAPS
DEMAND ON CHINA

Picking, Marsh 17.-Offcial informa-
ton has reached here that Russian
and British ambassadors at Toxic
called upon Baron Takaki Yato, the
Japanese foreign minister, Saturday
and informed him that if Japan per-
sisted in pressing upon China demands
beyond those contained in her orig
ial communication to the powers, it
might be difficult for Japan's allies to
negotiate automatically with her in
the future.
1t is understood that on the same
day the United States, acting indie
pendently, informed the Japanese
government that certain Japanese de-
mands were not in consonance with
the treaty agreements between China
and the United States. 1t is believed
a substantial proportion Of her de-
mands will be withdrawn by Japan be-
cause Of the attitude of the powers.
