GOOD BUSINESS SENSE

From the standpoint of a hard
headed business man there is only
one side to the good roads question
and that s-good roads. We have
been so used to depending upon our
county commissioners to settle the
road questions and to foot the bills
from our annual tax money, that
when we consider taking the initia-
tive and building real common
sense roads it has the appearance
of too big an undertaking. On the
contrary it is comparatively
simple matter to form good roads
districts or highway districts and
vote bonds for the building of
roads. 1t is not as expensive to
spend large amount Of money at
one time and get results as it is to
spend smaller portion from year
to year and have nothing better
than at the beginning.
Below are a few figures taken
from reliable source that ought to
make even the most skeptical stop
and think:
In the first place it has been said
that the world is never more than
sixty days ahead of famine. Just
now the period of time is much
shortened on account of the congest
ed condition of trade as a result of
the war. Hoover says: FIFTY per-
cent of our perishable food stuffs
never reach the consumers because
the farms upon which they are rails
ed are too remote from the markets
in which they are sold and from
forty to sixty percent of our potato
crop is lost each year by rotting in
the ground. owing to lack of trans
portation means or spelling on the
way to market because of mad.
equate transportation over long dis.
tances."
1t is said that the United States
has been paying penalty of more
thean $504, 100000 in the excessive
cost of the transportation of oui
agricultural products alone because
of its neglect of highways. NJ
wonder the country is at last wax
ing up to the fact that roads are
badly needed.
Good hard surfaced roads NEAR
that much of the hauling in al
agricultural district like the Pot
latch will be done with motor
trucks. This is an economic saw
ingg over the use of work animals
Our 100000 work animals arr
eating the crops of an acreage that
planted to food. would sustain 30,
600, 900 more people.
A committee appointed by thu
Government compiled the following
figures: The saving effected b.
improved roads in this country
would be approximately one billion
dollars annually or ten dollars TO
every man, woman and child in tn,
country.
1t is estimated that the total mil
age of roads in the United States i
2,645, 760 and approximately 125, OO
of this amount is surfaced. Thes
figures show that exclusive of tn
roads in the Potlatch there ar
other sections in the United State
that need roaGs.
If the above figures, which SHOW
such loss of both money and food
stuffs, hold good on large area o
country, why would they not b
equally true in the same ratio whel

fetal pearls are made, is produced from
the brilliant scales of the ablet, or
blay, small fish with green back
and white belly. About four thou

argument against goodroads? The

that they cost too much. Any man

knows. that. bad roads cost many
times more in .the end than good

SOLDIERS STRONG
FOR F A r MING,
SAYS A BULLETIN

Washington, April 4.-The report
Of the first 1915 cases of disabled
soldiers approved for retraining by
the Federal Board for Vocational Ed
ucation shows that 245 selected ag-
ricultural training in some of its va
rious branches and specifications.
These compare almost identically with
the selection in commerce, industries,
trades and professions, and indicate
a growing interest on the part Of dis
abled men.
While the number of those electing
agricultural education and retraining
have not approached the percentage
of those electing agricultural educa-
ton in other nations, it is predicted
by ali officer Of the United States
Department of Agriculture that there
will be very great increase within
the next thirty to sixty days cf those
selecting agriculture, the event of
spring averting psychological effect
upon the men.
The great advance in the invention
and manufacture OF agricultural ma
chinery have placed agriculture as an
industry on a par with all others.
1t is the leading industry and is rep
resented today by 81 per cent, COM
pared with 40 per cent representing
all other industries combined.
The Importance of agricultural ma
chinery has placed farm mechanics
among the most prominent features
of agriculture, and at the same time
gives an opening in new profess
sion of great Importance to disabled
soldiers who have had experience with
the tank, the truck, the automobile
and other lines of machinery. Such
experienced, coupled with vocational
training in a short intensive course,
as offered by the Federal Board, will
prepare the rehabilitated soldiers o
efficiently meet the demands Great
ed by moiern development in farm
machinery. The call for specialized,
trained men is constantly increasing

COM P l. ETES SIX WEEKS
COURSE AT FACTORY-CHAIN
OF SERVICE STATIONS is IN
CREASED.

Ford Service for Ford Owners has
been principle of the Ford Motor
Company from the beginning of
their organization, and they have car
ried it to the ends of the earth wher-
ever the Ford car has gone.
In order to make that service most
effective, the Ford Company is con-
Quoting at their factory at Detroit,
Michigan, a school for service men
in which the men are given instruc-
tion by lectures and classroom work
on the theories involved IN the con-
struction and repair of Ford cars.
along with practical work in the diff
ferent departments of the factory.
These men who have had the advan-
tage of this course then pass it on
to the mechanics in the Ford serv-
ice stations around the country. and
thus the Ford owners get the direct
benefit of this course of instruction.
G. d. Otteson who is manager of
the Ford Service Stations in the VAL
ley for Edgar Dros., mas just re-
turned from six weeks course Of
the kind described, and is prepared to
increase the efficiency of the serv-
ice in Imperial Valley for the bene-
fit of more than 1900 owners of Ford
cars.
With the permission of the Ford
Motor Company, Edgar Bros Co.
have recently contracted with Cog
gins Garage and with Van Horn &
Havens, in Ell entro, so that these
garages become part of the Ford
Service system, and Ford owners can
be assured of getting only genuine
Ford parts at these places.

STANDS HARD,
PRACTICAL TEST

Notable among the numerous sales
recently reported by the Imperial
Motor Co., is the sale this week Of
a Studebaker "a" to c. Meyers, a
rancher near Meloland
Mr.. Meyers had been contemplat-
ing the purchase of car for some
time ard before making the final
choice had requested special dem
onstration in the sand near the Alder
irrigation ditch on the Harold Bell
Wright ranch.
Three different makes of cars were
tried Gut at the location desired, and
each in turn failed to make the hard
pull On high. Determined to secure
a car that could make the pull in
"high," Mr.. Meyers continued his
search for the right car, with the re-
suit that the Studebaker "a" walked
right through the sand without a
hitch.
"That's enough" said Mr.. Meyers,
"Ill take the car" and the deal was
closed on the spot.
