Has it ever occurred to some OF
our people, thames not necessary
to mention) that every stranger
coming to town with some worthy
enterprise adds just one good cltl-
zen to our midst and furnishes
employment for more people. Also
that to discourage an enterprise OF
any kind is not for the best inter
ests of the city, and as a citizen
thereof, for yourself. The follow
ing from the Toad Mountain Tattle
in the Frazee Press fits large
number of smaller cities. We hope
it does not apply here:
"The mass meeting held at the
town hall TO consider proposition
from a big manufacturing concern
was largely attended and the COM
pany's offer enthusiastically turned
down. They agreed to employ
every idle man in Toad Mountain
and keep him busy the year round.
That was too much and the bunch
got away from their cards, pool
and gossip long enough to place the
stamp of disapproval upon the at
tempt of any outsider to come in
here and disorganize our mode of
peaceful existence"

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 Agri-
cultural conference called by HI. G..
Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
at the instance of President Hard
ing. Country highways are the
farmers first and principal trans
portation means of marketing their
products" was the finding. "They
are the arteries of the economic
and social system Of the country.
On their condition rests the amour.
of the transportation charge that
must be added to the gross cost of
farm products, and the more fully
they are developed, the less that
weather conditions are allowed to
clog the flow of traffic, the greater
will be the health conditions of the
body polite and the added profu-
sion of enjoyments 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. 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 pro-
ducts by not dumping them on the
market for fear of unreasonable
weather, he must control the con-
dition of the roads to his markets.
Without proper road conditions or
derby marketing can never be ac-
copplished. Rapid growth of traf-
fic over the highways has been so
greatly intensified during the past
few years that this method of
transportation needs earnest and
careful consideration" The con-
ference adds a proposed program
to extend road betterments and
commends much of the work al
ready undertaken by highway Off

states.
