The Road Ahead

You have been motoring--or

proceeding-along a fairly good
road with noting to indicate that it
would not continue fairly good, and
then you have run suddenly into an
impossible place, mired down, aud

had the same experience-road
maps to the contrary notwithstand
ing. The road map is good thing.
but it shows what the road used to
be, not necessarily as it is. Roads
change-miehty rapidly. sometimes
A downpour of rain and the road is
washed out; a night of snow, and it
is cluttered up beyond passing
though it may have been perfect
yesterday. If there were some way
of knowing what the road is to-day,
of reading it on a card or map like

certain States to add daily news of

A Milan man has brought suit
for $1,000 damages on account of
the cutting of some of his shade
trees for the resetting of electric

There is no hard and fast rule
for determining the size OF a towns
trade territory. 1t all depends on
the enterprise of the towns mer,
chants. Some towns will draw
trade several times farther than
Others. Some merchants will draw
farther than others. 1t depends up
on the advertising upon the goods
and upon the general treatment
that is given, in other words. upon
how intensively a town or an in
dividual goes after business.

more difficult for even the proper
