If all sections of Valley county
would take as active interest in the
matter of good roads as do the north
country folks, it would not be long
before the highways here would be
the best in the state.
A Good Roads association, composed
of business men and farmers from
Opheim, Glentana and Baylor has
been organized and are making plans
to go ahead with the work of road
improvement in their communities.
A preliminary meeting was first
held in Opheim and temporary or
ganization perfected The object is
to improve the roads in the north
country and set aside day when the
farmers and business men will turn
out and work on the avenues of travel.
A meeting was held at Opheim Sun
day, which Secretary l.. f. Jones and
County Agent Cannon attended.
The north country has been divided
into seven districts, which in turn
will be subdivided, and cash district
will decide where and how to do the
work. A representative has been Sc
lected from each district, and these
will form the board of directors Of
the association. The directors were
