PEOPLE AND ROADS.

When a very amiable gentleman
steps into. his car or climbs into a
buggy and takes a drive out into the
country and gets stuck In the mud
of a bad road he Immediately. calls
down something besides blessings up
on the heads of the people RESPONSE
BILE for such conditions.
1t never enters his head that per-
haps he himself is one of those peo-
pie. But he is.
He is one of them because he has
not done his part toward compelling
our officials to see that the roads are
in proper condition. He has not
raised his voice in behalf of better
country roads, or if he has it has
been so weak and half hearted that
it has neither been heard nor needed.
1t is the duty and it should. be the
pleasure of every citizen to talk and
work for better country roads, for
OSICSA AOouo mCdA "OA . p4OoYCA Ouo
conditions generally. The man in
town is just as much interested in
the condition of roads as the farmer,
for when roads are bad and the mar
keting of crops is difficult and ex-
pensive the farmer is less prosper
Gus, and this in turn is detrimental
to the best interests of the man in
town.
This is an era or road building,
and the time is opportune for us to
rise to the occasion and look to the
condition of our own roads.
We as people are not paupers
and there is no occasion for poor
roads in this community. That such
roads do exist is simply an evidence
that we as citizens are not alive to
our opportunities or our duty, and
that so long as we sleep we may ex-
pect our officials to share our slum-
bers.
While we are simply jogging along
others in other communities are
building better roads and reaping the
financial results.
Boost for good roads and whoop up
the boosting!
