But Holmes county of today is different.
During the past quarter of a century n
derfuI development has taken place. Mag
nificent farms cultivated under modern
methods with improved machinery in all sec
tions of the county; scrub cattle and hogs
have given way to pure breds and the county
today has many If not more, pure bred cat

duction of all field crops has increased four
fold; taxable values have gone beyond the two
million mark; neatly constructed and painted

expended in road building, and every hand

of the strongest drives made in the local
history of the Red Cross.

Considering however that we have only 10000
miles of improved highway. it goes to show that
we cannot expect boast of any exceptional high
way improvement amount to anything unless
greater appropriations made for this work
A great deal criticism has been passed on
the method of distributing funds by the govern
ment for road construction. The federal aid plan
is considered inadequate that it does not provide
for the continuation of roads across state boun-
daries To overcome this condition the national
highway bill been introduced by Senator
Townsend This BILL which has been commented
upon great deal of late. is pending in the
senate.
It is entirely piece of legislation Its
object is to build in trunk line high
ways the extent less than cent nor
more than per cent OF the total road mileage OF
the state, and join them with the main trunk
lines OF other states, creating national sys-
tenn connecting the entire country
If all the bonds that the various states proposed
had been carried the total would have reached
the magnificent $1,000 900 of state bonds
alone. OF this amount, however. only $223.3o0,0oo
has been authorized.
It interesting that $780, 600
in bonds have been raised by the various counties
throughout the country In the county of Dallas
Texas, $6500,000 voted. Although the amount
Of money to be spent on the roads this year shows
to very marked degree the interest the public
has taken in highways. there is still condition
to be met with which the people of the country
will to with before long, and that is that
in all of these expenditures for road building this
year. to 1921. provision has been made fol
the building of roads to take of interstate
commerce.

The prescription room of the Sun is one of the largest in the state, with dimensions of IS by A feet, and is stocked as completely as any store in the country.

 Service in the drug department of the Sun is backed by staff of expert druggists. and is prompt and reliable. One of it's features is the motor de- livery-first established in this city by the Sun-and medicines and supplies ale rushed to wherever they are needed ir record time, and as soon as they are ordered something that is appreciated when doctors are battling for human life and waiting for their medicines to arrive
