APP HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION

Progress in Construction-Lately
reports have been received Of rapid
progress in the construction of the
Atlantic-P Pacific Highway. You will
no doubt be interested and gratified
to know Of these reports, which are
as follows:
New Mexico-The construction of
the Atlantic Pacific Highway in the
state is progressing rapidly. One
hundred twelve Federal Aid projects
will be carried out during the year
and the Atlantic-Pacific Highway
will receive it's share of these pro-
jects.
Arizona-The entire line of the
Atlantic-Pac Highway from Phoe-
nix to the eastern state line will be
in first class shape for travel by Jan
airy LIST, 1923; nearly all hard-sur-
faced.
Kansas-The entire Atlantic-Paci-
fic line has been designated as an
Intra-State Federal Aid road. Much
hard-surfaced construction is under
way. Recently Sedgwick county let
one Federal Aid contract on the At
lantic-Pacific Highway for 100000.
Missouri-Bonds have been voted
to construct practically the entire
line across the state.
Illinois-The entire line across the
state is under construction as Fed
eral Aid project.
Indiana-Considerable permanent
construction will be done on the At
lantic-Pacific Highway during 1922
-Ohio-The entire line of the At
lantic-Pacific Highway has been or
dered surveyed and construction will
likely start during the summer.

10, at West Baden, Indiana, meet
ing of the Indiana section of the A..

fifty delegates representing five
states attended this meeting. Much

those extractions are within the
bounds Of reason and the proceeds
are used for building for them and
the rural population better city.
How, though, are the farm folks
going to build better country for
the cities and themselves?
Here is where the rub comes and
it somtimes rubs so hard that the
farmers get sore in body as well as
mind.
The city people being in better
position to conveniently gather and
discuss and lay plans for their COM
mon good and thereby more sys-
tematically extract the '1ucre" from
the farm folks. The farm folks see
ing those plans well carried out, be-
come somewhat ruffled up and here
and there begin to lay plans by Which
they might, not SO much better them
selves, as to keep the other fellow
from getting what was not consid-
cred his. But we farm folks must
concede and most of us do, that the
business men in town, for the great
err part, are an asset to the farming
community as well as the city itself;
SO why begrudge them their reason
able profits for their legitimate ser
vices insofar as they are such. The
average farmer is queer creature
as he cannot conceive that anyone
has right to what he produces, es-
pecially when he is helpless in say
ing what that portion should be. And
can he be altogether blamed? The
farmer is really the only one that
sells at wholesale and buys at retail I;
inplace of selling at the point Oh
consumption as other business does,
he continues to sell at the place OF
production. It is the wrong place to
sell. but that is what we are ana
have been doing all the time.
The farmer, seeing that ne was
pulling his share of the load from the
short end of the evener, jumped at a
number of remedies; neither of them
so far, have brought the desired re-
suits, and for very good reasons.
Conceding that the legitimate bust

WHY DO CITY AND COUNTRY
FAIL TO co-OPERATEl

Every right-thinking person must
willingly concede that the rural COM
munity is the keeper Of the urban
district, and, vice versa, the rural dis
trict would find it mighty hard sled
ing were it not for the live-wire
business men and women who make
a live city out Of the ordinary rail-
way siding.
The rural population must and to
the greatest extent does precede the
urban folks; they are the ones who
have never enough to break loose
from mothers apron strings and try
it for themselves; and after locating
on the desolate praries and demon
strating that 1t is possible to grow
crops Of different kinds in sufficient
quantities to support a few beside
themselves, you will see the city
man come in.
AS the housewife needs certain
kind of bacteria in the, leavening to
make good loaf, just so sure do we
need the right kind of business men
in city to make an all-round better
community. They being the bacteria
that make live community out OF
an erstwhile backward settlement.
Anyone can readily see that one
needs the other equally in every par
ticular, in order to make the best
prospering community. Conceding
that the one is absolutely necessary
to the other, why then is it that they
will not harmonic? Why do they
apparently wait for the right mo-
ment and opportunity to jump at
each others throats, so to speak?
The city realizes good and well
that in order to build up city with
modern improvements and conven-
iences, 1--WE are speaking of an agri-
cultural country it must extract
the money from the country; In
which they are succeeding admira-
bly>well as long as there is any
money in the cocntry to be extracted
But we'll admit, that in so doing they
are certainly justified as long as
