YOUNG SUFFERER AT REST

Miss Clara Ponto, daughter of Mr.,
and Mrs. G.. A. Ponto was born
August 5, 1908, at the present home of
her parents, n.ne miles south of Brook
ings During her early childhood she
suffered an attack of inflammatory
rheumatism, but from this she appar-
emily recovered and was able TO at
tend school and participate in the ac-
tivities of the young people of her ac-
quaintances until about eighteen
months ago, when her former illness
again attacked her. Since that time
she was an almost constant sufferer,
her illness being aggravated success
sively by scarlet fever and whoopin2
cough. These Affections undermined
her strength and resulted in compli-
cations which affected her heart, and
in spite of all that love could suggest
or medical skill provide death came
to her relief on Thursday morning,
March 25, at which time she quietly
went to sleep to awaken in the bright

looked forward.
The funeral services were held last
Saturday at the Presbyterian church
in Brookings. conducted by the Rev.
c. O. Bemies, of this city, the church
choir rendering appropriate music and
friends Of the family providing beau
tiful flowers. Burial in Greenwood
cemetery followed.
Clara possessed a lovable disposi-
ton and her patient endurance of her
suffering through many weary months
endeared her to all who knew her,
and her parents, six brothers and three
sisters, all of whom were with her
at the last. One brother, F. w Ponto,
lives at TOronto~and a sister, Mrs Ed.
Schwart. lives in Moody county. The
other brothers and sisters live with
the parents.

GOOD ROADS

The country is entering a period OF
road-building, SAYS a prominent busi-
ness man. Projects which were
planned during the war are being put
into effect The Federal government
has made large appropriations, to De
spent conformity with appropriations
by the various states. Good roads have
become watchword of postwar
progress.
There is occasion for reflection in
the fact that the greatest of ancient
empires was conspicuous for its road
building Thes Roman roads were the
railways and telegraph of an age that
did not know steam and electricity.
They were the pathways of the i'm
perial couriers and the imperial
legions. These roads were the girders
that held the empire together. 1t Is
customary, today, to admire the Ro-
mans for their practical sagacity, no
where better exemplified than in their
road-building.
In a manner history repeats 1t
SELF in our newly bestirred zeal for
constructing good highways. What
to the Romans was a national neceS-
sity. has become for us an urgent
reed; and this by virtue of a modern
invention-the motor car. ! look for
much advancement to grow out of the
motor age" and ! am certain that
this advancement will be contingent
upon the attention we give to the i'm
provement of our roads.
Those of us who have made obser-
vations for two decades have seen
wondrous changes resulting directly
from the use of the pleasure automo-
bile. Once the city was the city, and
the country was the country. Today
they merge into one another. The city
man knows the country as never be
fore-is glad to have access to il and
to live in it when possible. The coun-
try man knows the city and frequent
it often Shall villages of yesterday
have become the rural metropolis
that one finds here and there, every
where This is all good, for it is well
that a nation be knit together in the
spirit of mutual understanding and in
a reciprocity OF advantages.
But there are better arguments for
good roads than those which apply
merely to the pleasure car. We are
told, on the authority of the govern
ment, that farmers lose $300,000,0OO
yearly in marketing their crops, be
cause Of bad roads. That is too much
to waste. We should contemplate this
figure in connection with the high cost
OF living.
There Is no more serious problem
before us today than the matter of re-
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1920-04-01

ducing the cost of getting the products
of the farm to the table of the con
sumer. One step, at least. in the so.
luton is plain-better roads.
AS an instrument of economy the
motor truck has not yet come into its
own Efficient servant as it is in
certain restricted realms. it now awaits
the further development of interurban
and country highways to reach the
measure of its full attainment. 1t has
power and speed that put it outside
the class of the horse-drawn vehicle
and nimbleness and fiexibility which
gives il a certain advantage over the
railways. 1t is my expectation to see
it assume more and more the function
of the short haul" as its own peculiar
province in part, relieving the rail
ways of those duties which they are
least able to perform; and in part. eX'
panding the field of our national trans
portation system.
| say, therefore, all speed to the good
road movement! Ii will cheaper Our
methods of distributing and help to
bring the people of our country closer
to each other. | commend its common
sense and practical wisdom. 1t may
be less spectacular than some of our
other national issues, but it strikes
deep into the roots of fundamental
progress.
