Farmers are earnestly urged to
place their orders for probable re-

as possible, so that local dealers can
provide by early shipment for an ade-

ONLY 3 few persons get what they
wish without working for r. Good
rJads cannot be obtained by merely
wishing for them. Il is necessary 70
work for them, and to work continual
ly and forcefuIly. This is Just As true
Of good dirt roads as Of the most ex-
pensive types. Furthermore, one or
two men in 2 community & aceomp-
Hsh very little, except 70 persuade
others to help actively in the cam
pzign for improvements. Roads are
community affairs, and good roads are
only obtained and maintained by a
community energy, expended continu-
Ously. It is not enough for a mar To
say he is interested in good roads; he
must prove his faith by his works.
Hundreds Of good road clubs have
teen organized, but few have lived
long or accomplished much because
they did not work continuously along
wel-laid plans. Yet there is hardly 4
community where a good roads club
cannot become a strong influence in
improving the local highways and by
ways. The main roads receive the at
teutiOn Of the State and county Of
feials, but the much greater mileage
Of roads which are not parts Of
through routes must always be Of 10
cal concern only. The improvement Of

proved that this recipe turns out bet
ter than any other. After his grad
uation from Mcmillan High School
and a year at the State University,
he went into the National Bank here
for seven years. His good record won
for him a place in the Stock Yards
National Bank of st. Joseph. From
st. Joseph, he went to st, Louis,
where he was assistant cashier with
the Third Natl. Bank. Later, he ac-
cepted the cashiership with the First
National Bank at Billings, Mont, and
it was there that he became interested
in the many banking and business en-
terprises which now hold his atten-
ton. He owns a controlling interest in
a large residence addition in Billings,
and is secretary and treasurer Of the
Billings Traction Company. He is
also in the brokerage business. What
he likes best is organizing financial
institutions and in this work he has
won a reputation throughout Mon
tana.
Concentration Of purpose, well-dc-
fined and cnrefully-executed plans
