MOVEMENT FUR
 GOOD HIGHWAYS
 JUST STARTED

Because of the great am mount u good roads propaganda, many people are apt to be deceived as to what has already been accomplished and what remains to be done,'i says B. H. Landis of Arizona Motor Sales com pany, 247 North First street. "This h not to disparage the excellent work which has already been done and is now being done but to point out that we have just scratched the surface of good roads publicity and to encour- age those back of good roads move ments to even greater efforts.
 There is every argument of course, for good roads and none against them. Experience has shown that. good roads increase farm profits by lowering costs.
 Living conditions are always inn proved where good roads are the rule. Attendance of children at school-the very foundation of which national wei fare must be built-is increased anu the schools themselves improved where good roads exist Libraries are made accessible.
 Community gatherings which mean so much in the life of our rural popu- lation are fostered by good roads. The city markets on which the farmer must depend for many of his purchases are made more readily available.
 'Interurban motor express routes lower the cost of living in cities while increasing farmers profits. Much good work is being done in the promo tion of such routes and through them in the development of the good roads on which they must operate.
 Some carping critics balk at good roads because they claim they are be- ing promoted by the automobile indus try to further it's own ends. It is true that the good roads movement received it's greatest impetus coincidentaiiy with the development of the automo- bile.
 But this is not surprising. The railroad would never have been possi- ble had it not been for the development of road bed construction. Powerful locomotives and fine trains would have been of no service without well laid rails on which to run them. And no one can claim that the development or the railroads has not been of greater importance to the nations as a whole. than to those individuals who were. fortunate-or unfortunate---enoueh to'

 Washington reports to the wool trade state that a plan is now being worked out by the officials of the surplus prop erty division, war department, whereby it will be possible for the wool, tops and yarn branch of the quartermaster corps to take complete charge of the sale of surplus yarn. Under the pro- posed plan the yarn will be sold by auction in the same manner that gov ernment owned wool is being sold. An 1 official statement regarding when these sales are to commence is ex- pected soon. Probably both wool and cotton yarns will be included Some Of both have been declared surplus, and fslyers are interested to know when they are to be offered and what methods are to be followed in their disposal.

GOODYEAR COTTON MILLS GOODYEAR. CONN

ton planation in Arizona, developing a 20, 0,000-acre project in the Salt River valley, on which long staple cotton has been produced that is better than the long staple cotton of any part of the world.
 The Goodyear Tire & Rubber com pany is one of the largest users of crude rubber in the world. It's last years operations alone required 26,000 tons of rubber, valued at over s4o,000,- 900 Part of this rubber was grown on Goodyear's own rubber plantation in Sumatra, where thousands of acres have been planted to the Hevia Bra ziliensis rubber tree-the tree that pro- duces the finest grade of rubber.
 The output of the Goodyear factories is now 25,000 tires a day and it will be 30,000 tires a day before July l. The company recently developed and an- nounced Q new plan of factory man. agement which involves a broad and comprehensive principle of an em- ployes' council of industrial relations in keeping with the modern trend of the times. During the present year the company is looking forward to a business of approximately SITS, .000 gross, with reasonable assurance that this will be accomplished.

In conformity with custom of Good year Tire & Rubber company of Akron, Ohio, members of its Phoenix branch met in conference on Saturday and Sunday last.
 Meeting opened by D. w. Sanford, branch manager. Other speakers are: Y. P. Dunphy, service department; R. J. Bellas, sales departmNnt; R. H. Irvine, truck fire department; C. P. Finch, credit department; P. P. Gra- ham, mechanical goods department.
 The policy of the company was dis cCssed and ways and means suggested to further feeling of confidence and good will already existing between the

The story of the automobile t..e, now a part of the daily life of millions of people all over the world, furnished one of the greatest of all industrial rOmances.
 Although originally invented by an Englishman, the modern tire is truly and typically American in it's develop lnent and chief features
 It's rarely paralleled expansion is truly spectacular. From less than 3S,- 900 square feet of floor space to it's present area of 90 acres exclusive of it's branches, from 100 employees to ap- proximately 30,000.
 The mammoth plant which bears the inventors name, although he had no part in its inauguration, was estab- lished in 1898 during the period that bicycle tires and carriage tires were the most prominent rubber product
 The growth of the company has been of a sturdy and enduring kind. Start ing with an initial investment of only 5l2,500, of which only $3.5OO was in cash and that borrowed, the plant is now valued at nearly s30,000,O00 with an output in 1918 of S131 100000.
 In 1908 the output of the Goodyear company in value had increased to s. 100000 from a. humble start of less than half a million during it's first year. The Goodyear company was the pioneer in the development of many of the types of tires that are now serving 10 make automotive transportation a success. Among these. the most con- spicuous are the straight side automo- bile tire, and the pneumatic Cord tire. both of which were brought out in 1904. Goodyear pneumatic cord tires for motor trucks have taken motor trucks out of the slow speed, heavy duty class and transferred them into the class of high-speed transportation agents.
 Oftentimes they were unable to buy on the open market the kind of fabric that had the tensile strength consistent with the Goodyear ideals of manufac- ture. So a few years ago they secured their own cotton mills in Goodyear Connecticut. and by developing theil own processes of tire duck manufac- ture, they were able to construct 2 fabric or canvas that was stronger than any other tire fabric on the mar ket.
 To carry out the idea of perfectine to the greatest possible extent the raw materials that go into their tires, Good year later opened up an immense cot.
