WHAT GOOD ROADS DO

Significant Of the value of good roads
Is the dispatch from Cumberland telling
OF the benefits to Mineral county that
have followed the completion of a new
concrete road from Dingic to Cresap-
town. Traffic from Keyser and other
roints IN West Virginia Is increasing
since the fine new 14-foot concrete high
way extending from Dingle to Cresap-
town has been completed and OPEN
says the dispatch. DAIRY and other
products from farms along that road
are beginning to be brought here from
new sources"
Traffic is increasing and dairy and
farm products are coming from new
sources. nil because y little strip of good
road has been completed. This Is a
striking proof of what a statewide sys-
tenn OF good roads can do. both for city
and country. An Increase Of prosperity
IN every rural community will ollow as
surely as day follows night. and that
prosperity will be attended naturally to
the adjoining towns and cities.
