SOME POINTED QUESTIONS.
Sit Down and Think Them Over.

Did you ever hear of a city
or village which has been injured
in any way by a faf-sighted pro-
gram Of making public improve
ments?
Do you know of a community
which started out to build good
roads and ever afterward gave
up further construction?
Did you ever hear of a piece
of property which did not sell
for more after an improved road
or street was built in front of
it than it would before the i'm
provement was made?
Did you ever hear of a COM
munity In which good roads were
built too fast?
Did you ever see a community
which would sell a good road
after it was built for what It
CO6b tlldb
Did you ever see a piece of
state highway constructed which
was not better than anything
before constructed in the COM
munity under other auspices?
Did you ever think of what it
would mean to your community
to have taken out of it the road
improvements made in the past
eight years, substituting there
for the roads you used to have?
Do you know that no country
in Europe and no state In Amer
lea ever attained a real system
of main roads until the larger
units of government controlled
the construction and mainte-
nance of these roads?
Did you know that the tale-
phone cut the time between the
doctor and the patient in half,
and that good road compared
to q bad cuts the remaining time
into less than half?
Did you ever stop to think
that the man who knocks road
improvement is the man who
knocks everything and that the
knocker has no place in Amer
fca and keeps few friends?
Did you know that Congress
has just provided for national
aid for roads. being practically
the last unit of government in
America to provide for partici-
pating In this project?
Did you know that the boys
stay on the farm when there is a
good road to town. and move to
town when the farm is at the
end of a mud hole called a road?

They Must Have Gas.

There are Fords and then there are
still other Fords. Good, bad and in
different, they all must have that
life giving juice called gasoline.
Tuesday morning Willis Stewart
the veteran livery man, who just re-
Gently stepped into the mechanical
stage of the business, was attempting
to crank up his Ford. Several per-
sistanta twists on the crank, inter
spersed with appropriate and force
full adjectives, got no response from
the flivver. Added efforts brought
beads of perspiration to the brow OF
the untiring livery man. Not wishing
to see Willis do all the work and be-
lieving they had the charm to set the
engine in motion, George Groshen
and Bill Pearson took their turn al
the crank handle. The results were
no better. Groshen tested the bat
eteries. They were perfect. More
efforts were expended via the crank
shaft but old Betsy stood firm. Then
along came Sam Mccullough. He
diagnosed the case and promptly in
vestigated the gas tank. 1t was alb
solutely dry. Like all Fords, this one
must have gas.
Had 1t been balky horse, Willis
would have known at once what to
do. He istabout to discover that a
Ford car has got almost as many
whims as a horse, and whims that are
lots harder to understand.
