To Think About
By Silo Jack.

I N every man, woman and cnllu
i in the United States is impos-
ed an annual tax of more than $500
because of the excess cost of trans
porting food from farm to market.
Yet the average person thinks it
a great saving to pay cash and car
ry home the groceries.
1t will take more than 100 years
to improve Americas 2,750,OO0
miles of highway under the present
program Yet today some folks
are willing to sit back and dream
aobut the days when they can mo-
tor over an improved road from
Houston to Halifax. Who wants
to go motoring at the age of 100?
An automobile show was recent
ly held in Chicago and every one
who attended it went home with a
resolve to buy a car. But what's
the good of hat, if you haven't got
a head to put it on? Or a car if
you haven't a good road?
Let US make ourselves as busy
as busy with business as we have
been busy with war. Let us buy
road bond and make America
fit place to travel in. Let us apply
our patriotism to highway i'm
