GOOD ROADS
LARGELY DUE
TO MOTORS

The awakening of the public In
terest to the importance OF good roads
in this country was given its chief
impetus through the automobile said
W. o. Jones. county road superintend-
emit.
What the coming Of the autOmo-
bile has accomplished in the way of
road improvement during the past ten
years is nothing compared to what
It viii do in the future When a
person stops to consider that there is
more than one motor vehicle to every
fifteen people IN this country, 1t is
easy to understand this tremendous
interest taken In the good roads move
ment." he said.
Figures compiled by experts show
that only ten per cent. Of the roads
in this state are improved highways
while in some of the states only five
per cent. are improved Many road
experts agree with the statement made
by Mr. Jones, that II it had not been
for the automobile, this per cent.
would not be as high as it u.s.
In Wayne county, however, the per
cent. of improved roads is much above
the average for counties of Indiana. :
In the report of the United States
department of agriculture it is shown
that the farmers of this country are
losing $250,O00,00O annually on ac-
count of the inaccessibility of their
products at certain times Of the year,
due to bad road conditions.
Too much credit cannot be given
the automobile for road improve
ments," said Mr. Jones. The town
that neglects its streets is given a
wide berth by tourists The ability
OF the motor car to cover long dis
tances quickly and economically has
enabled owners to do their trading in
the town that offers the best ap-
proach."
This is the chief reason, he ex-
planned, why the towns of today are
paying more attention to the road
ways that lead to them.
Newspapers and magazines have
been doing all in their power to
further the good roads movement.
Many Of them are going so far as to
publish automobile routes that tell at
a glance which towns are to be avoid
ed and which ones are to be recon-
mended to tourists. The town or
village that is advertised as hard
place to reach by automobiles has
little chance to get out of the rut.

they are in the market for car or

mot enough business is certainly
q deplorable condition Of affairs for
any company" says JOS. W. Conner,
Sales Manager of the Pilot Motor Car
Company, but too much business
causes nearly as much worry. The
difference is. that in the former case
everybody worries, while In the latter
1t Is all shouldered by the production
department. Also of course, in the
case of too much business, the price

and prospective profits.
"But how to deliver a given num-
Der of cars to each Of twice as many
buyers is problem that nobody has
quite solved as yet.
Adopts New Plan
Frankly, believe that the plan
we adopted early in the season comes
az close to it however as it is posi-
BILE to get. We made material con-
cars and when we had signed up
enough dealers to take these cars we
practically made no further 1915 con-
tracts. 9~

" they must be right. As to body
designs, finish and upholstery--these
things neither printed word or illus

"The result was that when our

To a certain extent ordinary cor

For Tired Women @

"They help me so much and I find

Foley Kidney Pills" Mrs. Frank P.
Wood, Morrill,, Maine, r. F. D. No. 2.
Sometimes it seems as if you can't
stand the pain across your back. It
is just making your life miserable
and robbing you of all energy and
strength. When you are constantly
tired, head always aching, nerves ION
edge" kidney action painful and burn
ing, then is the time to start in at
once on Foley Kidney Pills.
They strengthen the weak, ailing
kidneys, improve their action, enable
them to throw off the poisons that
cause your trouble. Your nerves grow
peaceful, sleep becomes sounder, nerv-
Gus headaches disappear. AS Mrs.
Wood says: II find relief as soon as I
begin to take your Foley Kidney
Pills" Be sure you get the genuine
Foley Kidney Pills, for they are
purely medicinal and contain no

DEA. ASA WELLS.
By LOOMS Wells, of CRANKY.

BY LOOMS Wells, of CRANKY.
Asa Wells was born in Bolton, Toll
land county, Ct, May 20, ITO. Be-
ing of slender constitution, and a
little deaf from childhood, he re-
NAMED upon the home farm, while
his father and older brothers served
in the Revolutionary war.
Sept. 13, 1875, he married Martha
LOOMS by whom he had eight chill
dren; four of them only survived
him.
In 1907 he removed to Tolland,
Mass, and in 1917 to Lunenburgh,
Vt. The spring of 1925 he removed
to Granby;and in the fall to Victory,
upon the farm now occupied by his
oldest daughter, Martha.
The roads were very poor and but
little travelled, and a part of the
boards for his log buildings had to
be drawn from Burke, and the grain
to be carried to Burke, Lunenburgh
or Guildhall, and in the summer
season generally on horseback. For
several years all kinds Of grain were
carried out of town to be ground
wheat always.
To aggravate the hardships and
privations Of a new settlement, he
was here in the decline of life, with
impaired health, by TIE rascalIty Of
nephew, who sold him for his farm
in Massachusetts what purported to
be 900 acres of good land, as he
said, in the thriving town of Victory,
VT, only one hundred of which, as
described, could be found in the
town; besides, the covenant of the
deed was defective, which led to a
protracted and expensive law suit
in Connecticut, in which he was
beaten on technicalities, leaving him
poor to struggle on through the last
years of his life, on rather poor land.
Yet he earnestly endeavored to pro-
mote the prosperity of the town, by
encouraging set lers, improving
roads, and particularly by endeavor-
ing to improve the moral and reli-
gious condition of the settlement. My
father was not politician, and al
ways stood aloof from office of every
grade. | do not recollect ever see
ing him read a political paper, but
his Bible and a few choice religious
books We're the chosen and constant
companions of Ills leisure moments.
