THE HIGHWAY
AND NATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT

The future of civilization, OF mater
ial, moral and educational progress in
America, depends upon the highways
Bad highways-mud or deep sand
roads-s spell backwardness. Good
highways make certain the advance
ment of religion, education and wealth.
Bad highways will drive men and
women from the farms into cities. thus
reducing the number of food produce
ers and increasing the number OF
mouths to be fed from steadily di-
,minishing food supply. That road
leads straight to anarchy and Bolshev-
ism, for a decreasing food supply and
increasing population congestion
breeds discomfort poverty, and alti-
mately anarchy.
The good highway is the straight
road that opens the way to better
schools, better religious activities in
country churches, better dwellings. and
that means better homes, more ceR-
tentment on the farms, larger food
production, with more profit justly
earned by the grower and yet a lower
cost to the consumer.
On one side-the safety OF ciyiliza-
tion, increased food supply and the
rounding out of the nations life; on
the other Standardization endanger-
ed, food riots certainty of the fu-
ture. with nation sunk in its own
bottomless mudholes, sometimes called
roads.
Because these statements are truths
that need to be driven deep into the
soul of our country, this article is
published. The moral worth OF good
roads cannot be discounted or lost
sight Of The children win be able 20
attend the schools, education will make
better citizens, better citizens make
better government. Farmers can mar
ket their farm products, acquiring
money necessary to better the home
surroundings and to send their sons
and daughters to better schools made
possible by better roads. So when we
build good highways we may build
better than many realize because the
good effects and benefits from good
roads are cumulative and increase in
widening circles.
Let's all get the vision OF better
home conditions, better roads better

PRICE HUFF, A
LOUISA BOY, HAS
SEEN REAL SERVICE

Price Hun, whose visit home was
mentioned last week, talks interesting
~ about the great war when question
ed in regard to his experiences. He
went to France in May, 1918, having
been taken from the coast artillery
service and placed in that of the rail-
road artillery After special training
near Bordeaux he was assigned TO duty
as gun defieetor or gun pointer, being
one of crew of 32 men to operate one
OF the French 75s, mounted on fat
car about half the length of American
railroad fiat cars. A few of these cars
formed a train which was moved TO
various points to engage in battle. A
position from a mile to mile and
half from the front line was usually
taken. These guns shoot an S-inch
shell several miles. Price was in bat
tie at st. Mihiel. Meuse river Argonne
Forest Belleau Woods and Verdun. He
took part IN one battle where thous-
ands of heavy. guns fired for many
hours, so steadily that it sounded like
one continuous roar of the most ap-
palling thunder. The flashes from the
mouths of cannon and the flares from
every quarter combined to light the
heavens with steady glare through
out the night on one occasion the
gun crews worked six days and nights
without any sleep except that which
caused them to drop in their tracks;
and then some one would come all too
soon and awaken them with a feverish
command to go to work.
Price says the supply forces did wen
in keeping food at hand, but the men
suffered for water during some of the
battles. For several days at one time
they were short of water and would
not waste drop in washing their
faces or their mess kits. For cleaning
the kits they would grab a handful of
grass and wipe the vessels. During
that experience he says the men were
SO dirty az to be almost beyond recog-
milton. Their boards grew and added
to their untidy appearance.
When asked about the closest call
he ever had Price said it was at st.
Mihiel. The train had FIVE guns and
was placed under the brow of a low
hill where it was difficult for the Ger
man observers TO locate them. II was
