Why Every Missouri Farmer
Should Vote for Good Roads
Amendment No. 6 on
November Q, 1920.

Because the State AM Federal Gov
eminent will build two hard surfaced
roads across his county and he will
not pay me dime of tax more than he
is now paying.
Because the State auto fee will pay
the entire cost of the roads.
Because if he lives on a State road
he can deliver his farm produce to
market any day in the year.
/ Because if he does not live on or
near a State road he and his neigh
bors or his county can build good
roads to connect with these state
roads and then have a connected sys-
TEN of hard roads to all Of the main
markets In his section Of the State.
Because the value Of a hard road
depends on its connections and the
system.
Because there are Ga counties in
Missouri where at the present time
nc road bonds have been voted, nor
any finances provided for the O n
struction Of hard surfaced roads.
When the sec, 900, 900 bond issue is
available State roads will be built in
each Of these counties, and therefore
they will be assured OF two roads
across their county without any cost
rate.
Because good roads in every com.
munity improve the social, religious
and educational advantages Of the peo.
pie living in that community.
Because every farmer in Missouri
wants to give his wife and children
as good surroundings and as many
advantages as those of his friends in
other counties and states where hard
roads have been built OIL are being
built. Because hard roads save time
on the road, save transportation cost
to and from markets, enable the farm.
to market his products any day in the
year. save money In the repairs and
depreciation of trucks, motor cars and
all kinds Of "ehicles.
Because every state in the Union
is now building hard roads or getting
| ready to do so. II Missouri wants 20
keep in its place with the progressive,
prosperous States Of the Union, she
must do the same thing. 1t Is not
enough that rs or 80 counties are
building hard roads. To be Of real
service to the people the State should
have a complete system connecting
all sections Of the State.
Because bad roads are expensive,
while good roads are money makers
and money savers
Because a complete State system Of
hard roads will link together every
community in Missouri and allow her
people to meet and mingle and be
friends, whereas, with bad roads the
people are held apart.
Because hard roads are now needed
to carry the modern highway traffic.
Because farms are more desirable on
hard roads. bring better prices, and
make their families more c%ontented
and prosperous.
Because dairy farming and poultry
raising on farms by hard roads are
money makers, while the same farm
on a dirt road would not be SO desir.
able.
Because hard roads mean better
rural mail service. better schools, and
markets closer to the farm.
And principally because

large Australia Is when 1 tell you
It Is about fourteen times the size
of France or Germany. Australia, as
you know, Is part OF the British
Empire. but is self governing, just
like Canada. There are six Aus
tralian states-New South Wales
Victoria, Queensland, Southern Aus
tralia- Western Australia, and Tas-
mania. The chief cities are Mel
bourne, Sydney, Brisbane Adelaide
and Perth. The distance by steam
ship from San Francisco to Mel

What do the people in Australis
doT" asked Joe.
First of all the Australian indus
tries" said Uncle Harry, "is sheer
raising. Australia is the greatest
producer of wool in the world. Per-
haps the next two largest industries
are cattle raising and mining. Aus.
tralia has wonderful grazing land
for cattle the year around. and all
kinds of metals and precious stones
are taken from the mines. The cli-
mate Is not unlike our American cli-
mate, but the seasons are reversed

States 1t Is summer in Australia
The cities have fine large buildings
and the cities and houses are light

tralia Is very much like life here in
the United States. But Australia
while rich in natural resources. Is in
need of large quantities of machin-
cry of all kinds for turning the raw
materials into manufactured goods
Before the war, Great Britain and
Germany supplied most OF Aus
tralia's needs from the outside
world. Now Australia Is importing
many things from the United States
