Better Highways VIII Be
Great Aid to Farmers
Adequate Highways are Essential,
Congressional Inquiry Committee
Decides to Reduce Farm Losses

Highway transportation, held of
first Importance to the farmer be-
cause all he produces and uses must
be transported over roads, was the
subject of special recommendations to
congress by the National Agricultural
conference called by H. C. Wallace,
secretary of agriculture, at the in
stance of President Harding.
Country Highways are the farm
er's first and principal Transports
ton means of marketing their pro-
ducts" was the finding. "They are
the arteries of the economic and social
system of the country. On their con-
dition rests the amount of the trans
portation charge that must be added
to the gross cost of farm products,
and the more fully they are develop
ed, the less that weather conditions
allowed to clog the fow of traffic, the
greater will be the health of the body
polite and and the added profusion
of enpoyments and privileges to the
common people.
''The loss from bad roads should
be reduced to minimum, not only
to enlarge the farmers market, but
to shorten the time and reduce the
spread of price between the farmer
and the consumer.
's'The farmer should be able to haul
to market twice as much, twice as
often, as he has been able to do in
the past. If the farmer is to be put
in position to help influence the price
of his products by not dumping them
on the market for fear of unseason-
able weather, he must control the
condition of the roads to his markets.
Without proper road conditions or
derby marketing can never be accom-
plished. Rapid growth of traffic ov-
er the highways has been so greatly
intensified during the past few years
that this method of transportation
needs earnest and careful considera-
ton.
The conference adds a proposed
program to extend road betterments
and commends much of the work al.
ready undertaken ty highway officials
n the more progressive states.

From childhood, my daughtr has
had a small amout of money to con-
troll, and by this has learned the
value of money. I would expect her
to formulate some system of finance
with her husband that would bring
her a share of the earnings of the
farm; it ynay be budget system. a
side line-like chickens, mil'- or
gardener direct share of tine
FARMS output. It must be something,
recognizing her partnership in the
enterprise, and adequate to maintain
her independence and self respect.
"She should be logical enough to
meet emergencies in a sensible man
ner; if this meant the climbing of a
windmill, Or hitching up a fractions
team or other outside work, ( should
expect here to do it efficiently. In
her devotion to husband and home,
she would not forget that she is q
social being, functioning for commun-
ity betterment through the mediums
of health amusements, mental alert
ness and spiritual uplift.
Believing that the country is the
very best place for putting into prac-
tice the ideals that have developed
with her character, for furthering
principles of industry, and the intel
ligent administration of homely but
worthy tasks, for fostering love for
simple things, and for loving service
to her own and others, would be
very glad to have my daughter mar

What Poetry Is Not.

Attitudes towards poetry are as
various as Its kinds. And the reader
must have thought over these at
titudes when he considered the prob
lem OF creating an audience or beconi-
ing part Of one. says Jeanette Marks
In the North American Review. Some
excellent people, not lll-educated either,
look upon poetry as one Of the ele-
gancies Of life, withal n little super
fluous. Others think poetry Is sugar
water. II is. sometimes. So are some
people and there are no federal laws
for putting them out OF the way.
Some men aud women regard poetry
"a sentimental nonsense. In that II
might be said certain types OF poetry
are like any cross section OF human
nature to DO found anywhere. The
most damaging Of all attitudes Is that
which holds that poetry Is inimlcal
to the facts OF life and OF science.
