Noticeable That Highways Have Been
Improved Along All Motor
Vehicle Routes. =

In and around all communities on
motor truck routes it is noticeable that
all roads have been improved to en-
able motor trucks to maintain consist
ent speed as well as to decrease depre-
citation. Thus the motor truck not
only makes communities Independent
of any one particular line of trans
portation. but serves the interests of
that community efficiently and conom-
ically. These improved roads increase
realty values along the routes, Gre

BIG PROBLEM IN ROAD WORK
Not to Show Need Of Improved High
ways or to Raise Money, but to
Spend Funds Properly.

The value of roads to a rural district
is becoming more and more apparent.
The modern problem in road work Is
not to show the need Of good roads or
to raise money. The greater problem
before the whole country is to organ
ize so the funds In sight a be prop
erly spent. No longer will the rural
highways be allowed to remain neg
lected. But it must be remembered
that with over 100000 miles Of roads
in the United States that it Is not a
problem to be solved in a month or q
year or In several years.

The year 1918 offered an unprece-
dented condition in practically all
lines of highway work. There was
not only a tremendous increase and
expansion in the amount of heavy
truck traffic on public roads and an
unprecedented shortage in regard to
road materials, labor and ready funds,
but also a decided increase in main
tenance work, which was, however,
partially offset by a decrease in the
amount of new construction.

AN IMPERrlNENT QUESTION
Who Win Solve the Problem Of Farm
Labor?

AS the spring approaches, with the
consequent resumption Of work on the
farms, there confronts the country
the problems of the supply Of labor
for the farms. A year ago carefully
laid plans had the farm hands who
went to war returned to their former
occupations. Yet today there Is a
shortage of farm labor, and, more than
that, no indication that the shortage
is to be filled. The farm hand who
went to the war came back as far as
the cities, found in them opportunity
to enter industrial pursuits in factory
and mill, found higher wages and
more enjoyable living conditions, and,
despite appeals made to him. there
remains, evidently scornful of argu
ment and reasoning.
! Today the farmers offer $50 a
month in wages with board and keep,
yet cannot get help. Today the for.
mer farm hand is absorbed in the ur:
ban industrial life, finding shorter
hours and more ready money, though
the board and keep on the farm
amount to at least $40 a week, and
has become Gifted" 1t is a condi.
ton which concerns ont only the farm
er and his hired man, but, indeed the
whole country.
For If the farmer cannot get help it
means that he. must reduce his acre.
age he plants to an amount he can
tend with himself and his family. That
means higher prices, which Immediate
ly concerns the rest Of us. The circle
means decreased production, which
is inevitable. Yet the same result is
arrived at il the farmer raises his
wages to- his help. His running ex-
penses grow thereby; he must charge
more for his truck. Again the circle
is complete
But the farms must be titled, plant
ed, cultivated and harvested. On them
the country depends for sustenance.
