FARMER ENTITLED
To BEST OF GOOD
ROADS IN WAR Time
Saving Time and Hauling Expense
Should BE Considered Now
Very Seriously.

"The country highway should, / be-
lieve, fit into the State Highway Sys-
TEN, as a hand fits into glove"
says Hon. Wesley Adams of the New
Hampshire State Grange.
Never before was the farmer call
ed upon to produce os much nor under
UGH conditions although he has al
ways been noted for his patriotic i'm
pulses, and in this terrible crisis he
is living up to all previous history: to
this he is forcing his farm to pro-
duce food as never before notwith-
standing that 100000 of experienced
farm hands have been called to the
front since the beginning of the war.
Therefore. while he always in times
of peace deserves a good read, he is
now entitled to the best that can be
had. This is necessary in the trans
portation of his supplies to his farm,
and in the movement of his crop to the
nearby village or city which, at least
in these times should be the real mar
ket.
The large amount of munitions
(which our railroads are called upon
to transport makes it important that
the auto truck be used to the utmost
in the transporting of farm products.
A large amount of these products
must of necessity be raised off the
truck lines. Last fall l saw a truck
drive into the square in front of Fan
euil Hall Market, loaded with 276
| boxes of apples | found these had
been driven over the road distance
OF "a miles taking them direct from
the farm to the door of the market
| recall this by way of illustration of
, that can be done on good roads with
the truck.
One of the greatest needs of the
day, of which l want to speak. is the
saving of time. We hear of various
methods of conserving time, even to
changing our clocks and it is all time
ly discussion and is of vital import
ance to the farmer, for, as / stated in
the beginning the drain of labor from
the farm has been enormous. ne OF
the sources through which the farmer
could save valuable time would be
better country roads.
Thus gentlemen. in summing III
these brief remarks, there are five
reasons which ! believe show the eff
feet of the war on our countr roads
and the need for better country roads
1.-THE larger production on al
farms.
"2-To furnish all the relief posi-
BILE for the already overworked rail
roads
'3-The autombile and auto trucl
as means of quick and sure delivery O
farm products.
"4-Better country roads would en-
able the farmer to save in time spen
in travel on the road.
"5-Improved country roads woul
materially reduce the cost of trans

SUCCESSFUL MEMBERSHIP CAM.
PAIGN

The Parkersburg, West Virginia,
Board of Commerce has recently con-
cluded what all the members consider
one of the most remarkable and sue
cessful two day membership cam
paigns ever conducted by a cemmer-
cial organization. The "Collect-as-
you-go" method, together with a per-
feet organization OF workers and a
thorough publicity campaign were re-
sponsible for its success. The mem
bership was increased from 400 mem
bers, the number at the close of the
membership campaign to approx
mately $50 members. 95 per cent of
the membership dues were collected
in advance by the campaign workers
at the time the applications were
signed. The local campaign will be
conducted along the same lines as
those that proved so successful in
Parkersburg.
We are glad to lend our personal
endorsement to the fine work that has
been and is being done by our local
Chamber of Commerce. In all the
progressing moves for Civic Better
ment. Industrial and Commercial ad-
vancement and in cooperating with the
Government in the War activities, the
Chamber of Commerce has heen an
active and valuable factor and we be-
speak our desire for the continued
! support by the citizens of Mason
county.

lucky:
The preesnt titaic contest is justly
named a Worlds War, since 1t in
wolves practically all the civilized ma
tions of the earth and upon its sue
cessful conclusion depends the civill-
zation and liberty of all mankind.
Every man and every woman should
wildly realize a personal relation 10
il. and should be ever conscious OF
solemn duty to give, treasure or life
If need be, to this great cause.
The unique and superb part this
nation has already played in TINS
death struggle of Kingdoms and EN-
hires is due to the splendid team
work" of heads, hearts and hands
stout hearts and clear heads directing
expert and willing hands. 1t matters
not how patriotic we~may be, how Will
ling or how anxious to serve, II we
are not repared-carefully, thor
oughly and skillfully preparation
the contest that involves knowledge
of all the forces of nature and re-
searches of science, our zeal is COM
paratively vain.
Fortifcations can be erected and
great guns accurately fired only by
those possessing a knowledge OF de-
licate mathematical calculations, The
universal use of gases and high eN-
plosives require skilled chemists. Our
soldiers, aviators, physicians and
nurses must possess a knowledge OF
physics. mechanics and medicine. we
need mechanical and electrical engi-
neers,-men skilled in the construc-
ton and operation of every chracter
of machinery. The call is peremptory
for young, alert and plastic intellects'
ready, willing and capable, who will
first acquire and then apply this in
valuable knowledge so necessary to
complete final victory.
1t is gratifying to know that institu-
tons. as well as individuals, have en-
listed for the war, and that our great
Universities and other institutions oil
higher education education have de-
veloped the scientific and practical
branches of study which are essen
tial to the conduct of this war and
TO thedeevlopment of our industry and
our. commerce when the war is ended
The President of the United States
again vonces the opinion of a nation
solidly behind him when he expresses
his profound qualification that de-
spite the unusual burdens imposed
upon our people by the war, they have
maintained their schools and Other
agencies of education so nearly al
their normal efficiency"
Every student whose immediate
presence is not demanded at the from
should, with untiring application ant
characteristic American srdor, devote
Himself to thorough preparation fol
