LOSS CAUSED BY ROAD Thief
Farmer Forced to Haul Small Loads
and oeprives Him Of Opportunity
to Sell Products.

The bad-road thief forces you to
haul small loads; drive slowly;
wrench and twist the life out of your
horse, harness and vehicle, often
breaking and damaging the latter un-
til great and expensive delays are
cccasioned. 1t also steals your oppor,
tunity to dispose of your farm when
you wish to sell, for no man will pay
as much for a farm borderej by q
poor road system as he will for one
with a well-kept highway. and some
will not buy farm at all when the
road system is poor. The loss Of
time and money, where the above
named conditions exist, makes it i'm
perative that you open all the drain
bitches along the road, drag this ST.
lent, notorious thief TO death with the
King road drag.

pupils as lew as the sixth grade. Sone
of the most absurd answers to questions

key Minor and Moscow are two countries
OF Asia" "Epgland is the smallest con-
tinent." More than one fourth of the high

OF New York. The definition Of a geyser
was given as "an underground water
