FARMER THE SQUARE TYPE OF
CITIZEN

Our country is richly blessed with
at least one sturdy class OF citizenry
that, though the provocations are
trebly numerous, never goes out on .
strike or enters his products into .
pool or tieup in order to command
higher prices.
This class is &C posed of the farm
ers-tillers Of = soil. Though he
is king of the n.tion and the people
Of the world are absolutely dependent
for the necessities Of life upon his
remaining on the job and attending
strictly to the production and market
ing Of foodstuffs, he never quits and
never fails to deliver the goods that
sustain life and diverts famine if the
almighty elements only give to him
the necessary heat and moisture.
products regulated against him and
the income from his seasons labor in
sufficient to show an even balance
Of the income and expenditure column
Of his ledger. But he is up and at
it again, full of energy and hope that
next seasons efforts will prove more
profitable.
What a mighty force is the farmer.
How quickly he could bring the bal
ance of the nations population to his
feet bowling in humble supplication if
he but willed to become a dominating
power. How quickly he could settle
the railway and coal mining difficult
ties today if the farmers of the nation
as unit would say to those combina-
tions involved: Bring to me your pro-
ducts of coal and other necessities
that your troubles are keeping from
me and causing to soar to prohibitive
prices, guarantee to me regular tran
sportation to market for my live
stock and grain that / may not suf-
fer losses and lowering of prices be-
cause of your troubles. Until you
guarantee to me these requests / will
deny to you and the markets any of
my food products.
Such an action would gain immedi-
ate results. But the farmer will not
do this because he is a square type of
citizen and will not enter into COM
bine containing ruinous policy
against his fellowman.
The farmer is the pioneer develop
er of the nation and its resources. He
has battled with all the dire elements
known to man that cope against his
tilling of the soil, and he has ever
been square and game fighter, ask
ing no odds and willing to take chan
ces which more often are unequal
than otherwise. And it is him the
nations lean upon to come through
with the goods in times of great cris-
es, and he never fails to deliver the
most and best that he has. He is the
salt of the earth and his example as
a man among men could be exempli-
fled to fine and lasting advantage
by members of many of the nations
great industrial organizations.

WELL KEPT HIGHWAYS A BIG
ASSET

A town or community that takes
good care of its streets and roads is
making an investment that will reap
larger returns than any other public
improvement. The returns come not
only in increased and continued pa
tronage and, added values to real es-
tate, but the good will and good words
spoken by every one who has occasion
to traverse well cared for highways is
is an attractive and everlasting adver-
tisement that cannot be measured in
dollars and cents.
Just listen to any of the many
travellers either highly commencing or
cussing some certain town or COM
munity on the condition in which the
highways were found, then consider
that the local traffic of such places
undoubtedly scatter the same opinion.
To have and keep good commend
able streets and highways does not
mean that they must be paved, tho
that is best if it can be done. But
any good dirt street or highway can
be made commendable and kept that
way if properly graded and given the
required attention at the right time
A town can't expect anything bu,
condemnation for the deplorable con-
dition of its streets if they are allow.
ed to remain improperly graded, un'
drained and unacquainted with the
regular and the timely services Of the
drag, the refuse scavenger and the
weed cutter. And the same will ap.
ply to the rural highways. If we al
quit growing about expensive streets
and highways and give those in oul
community the best possible intelli.
gent attention we will soon learn that
a poor street or highway is by far the
most expensive to harbor.

general all-round usefulness of the
tubular backbone in the Durant car.

partment of the Durant Motor COM

among other Incidents of his excur-
sion, that he had been invited by an
official Of the Uniter States govern
ment to make an exhaustive" dis
course on certain features of Durant
construction before a large and in
terested audience and that his talk
had been a huge success. Trueblood
was curiously incommunicative as to
further details of his eloquent ad-
dress, and even pointed inquiries
failed to get much more Information
on the trip in question. Trueblood had
visited San Diego and, of course, en-
deavored to spread the reputation OF
the Durant internationally by visiting
Tijuana, For some reason, the border
officials were extremely yigilant on
that particular day, and upon his re-
turn. they searched Trueblood's Du-
rant with amazing thoroughness. Cars
with secret compartments for carry
ing hootch were what they were look
ing for but they failed to find any
thing suspicious until one of the Off
GERS crawled under the car and spied
