With two 14-inch bottoms, under
average blowing conditions, the new
Moline Universal Tractor, Model D,
piows 9 acres in 10 hours, as much
as ordinary 3-plow machine. The SUI
perior efficiency of the Moline Uni
vcrsal is due to its higher speed, 3H
miles an hour, two bottoms at 81
miles giving the same number of
plow miles as three bottoms at 2N
miles.
Flowing at 81 miles an hour gives
ideal results, the ground being pull
verified more thoroughly than at
slower speeds, with less air space.
Tough sod that cannot be turned at
all at IA miles an hour is plowed
with ease. 7.
Perfect work is assured with the
Moline Universal through the advan-
tageous position Of the operator, who
sits on tie implement, where he must
sit in order to do good work. The
Moline Universal is easily handled,
turns short, and backs as readily as
it goes forward.
Waste of time in the field is elimi-
mated and the tractor kept at produc-
tive work a maximum number of
hours a day through complete cleo
trio starting and lighting system. TIE
Mrline ITnivcrea1 is the only tractor
thus regularly equipped.

TO OPEN NEW SERVICE
STATION IN BLACKFOOT

E. H. Thornton garage at Rexburg
spent Saturday in Blackfoot looking
for location for a Willard Service
station. Mr.. Merrill will cater to
the garage trade, and therefor
looked especially for a place on
Bridge street or Broadway. He will
make free tests of Willard batteries,
and the cars that use them are sold
in garages mostly on Broadway.

because of the direct and immediate
returns to be realized in reduced
taxes. This does not necessarily
mean fewer dollars to pay than now,
but lower tax levy on a higher
valuation.
Good roads advertise county far
and wide, with the result that new
settlers come and buy not only cul-
tivated farms but unimproved land,
with the result that a greater area
OF improved farm lands are asses
sable thus reducing the amount of
taxes to the individual by distribut-
ing the burden to greater number.
Good roads also increase the value
of all land within the county thereby
reducing the tax levy proportion
ately.
Good roads are direct and i'm
mediate benefit to the farmer; first,
in increasing his land values, in
making accessible the markets for
his products, in putting his products
on the market in the best possible
condition, with practically no loss
from damage in hauling-this means
better prices; in reducing the wear
and tear on his horses and vehicles;
in a great saving of time in market
ing; in thus making savings the
farmer will be enabled to secure mo-
tor trucks for hauling, thus making
further saving of time to himself,
reducing wear and tear on his equip
ment and releasing his horses and
wagons for work on the farm ex-
clusively and thereby increasing the
available man and horse power on
his farm. The idea of recreation
must also be considered; and the
farmer benefits directly and indi-
rectly when his family and farm
laborers are thus considered. Good
roads increase the pleasure of driv-
ing either with horse and buggy or
automobile. This item Of benefit is,
shared by the people living in town
as well as country, and they also
share in the burden of taxes pro-
portionately.
Stop to think of the travelling pos
sible with good roads, which would
not, and in many instances could
not, be possible by rail. Few Of
natures beautiful canyons and
mountain scenes and pleasure spots
are available by rail, and only good
roads make them accessible to auto
mobile or horse and wagon. Think
also of the time saved in thus being
able to travel from place to place
over good roads. With sickness in
the family the doctor is able to re-
spond promptly, where in the past
you know some of the roads have
been impossible with auto and very
with horse and buggy.
Doctors have been almost forced to
decline attendance at sick bed be-
cause of bad roads. This is true to
a greater or less degree in summer
Is we'll as winter. Good roads may
serve to save life in your home Mr..
Farmer. Again, an important busi- |
ness engagement may call you to a |
town. II you 60 by rail |

.oads and an auto enable you to fill |
he engagement with the least pos
,ible loss Of time.

bureau has almost become an en-

the labor shortage will be about as

A Few Reasons Why Farmers Should
Have Good Roads

Wilson, Idaho, March 25,. 1919
All people should be entitled to
professional skill If they pay for
it. If a man, woman or child is at
the point of death and doctor could
save their life 1t wouldn't help much
fthe doctor was fast in mud hole,
couple Of miles away. In'the past
month this seeing doctors stuck In
mud hole has been quite common
in our locality.
Then good roads make 1t possible
for farmer to haul larger loads
with less horse power and make
more trips to say nothing Of wear on

The Value of Good Roads

Good substantial roads give to
community value impossible to
achieve thru any other means. The
measure of usefulness and sconven-
fence which they offer, cover the out
lay of their cost in many ways.
To the farmer they multiply his
opportunities for great achievements
in the least waste of time and mini
mum of worry. They are acclaimed
by the business world as utility and
a necessity in binding together the
ties of commercial interest and the
fellowship of social communion.
Good roads assist consolidation
and cooperation in all kinds Of bust
ness. They knit communities into
one industrial unit accompanied by
greater efficiency and economy OF
service in marketing produce. They
conserve power, motor or otherwise,
and enable stock or exchange pro-
ducts to be delivered in much better
condition either to or from the city.
They bring to the freight station the
remotest farm, factory, lumber camp,
or mine. They make possible the
VI ouuOi CApdAolOu VI ClJy, SuUuTU,
or countryside. They help maintain
or enhance the value Of land. They
add to the attractiveness and charm
of the country and broaden the ex-
tent of enjoyment for motor and
pleasure travel.
Goo droads promote an environ
ment of thrift and industry; they en-
large the scale of business and
stand out conspicuously as an ele-
ment of success in any community.
The value of good roads is not
theoretical. 1t is actual. 1t is true.
The future of real live industrial
community hinges upon them If
every working moment and every
working dollar be utilized to the full
est extent.

COMMUNITY BUILDERS"
mi The Atlanta journal:

FROM The Atlanta Journal:
The Baxley NewsBanner gets
down to one of the root truths Of
highway improvement when it says
that paved public roads will be the
community builders of the future
"the property builders and develop
ers:"
Population will flow into the
county that has good roads,
just as population has usually
conferred where there were many
railroads. Roads and population
make realty values go up, hard
ly anything else does. The roads
bring the people, and people
make the demand, and demand
makes the price. The public
roads, when they are paved,
will make fortunes for the pro-
perty owners: and we presume
that property owners nearly all
will favor paving the roads,
though they realize that they will
have to foot most Of the bill"
1t is the paved road, as our con
temporary rightly insists, that will
produce these constructive and en-.
riching results--not the common
dirt" road which is at the mercy of
every siege Of rough wealth. Only the
best quality Of road will prove to be
the real community builder" But
that quality will unfailingly yield
the due returns and pay for itself
thousand times over. 1t will upbuild

HEARING FROM THE PEOPLE

Savannah Morning News:
President Wilson will be presently
discovering that things will come
round TO his plans and purposes-as
he has felt and believed they would
eventuate all along, He will discover
that the postponement of an extra
session Of Congress will be a good
thing for the accomplishment of the
world plans i'll the construction of
which he is now sharing. Congress
left undone many things which should
have been done; the government and
the business of the country are EN-
barrassed by those egregius sins of
! omission. But the peace treaty can
not be ready for consideration by the
United States Senate for possibly
| several weeks In the meantime the
President may be sure that the folks
at home will let the defiant element in

mass feels toward his peace plans.
