surances that they would attend and
that large crowds from their respec-
tive towns and counties would be
present at the good roads convention,
good roads show and BanlShead Ma
tionai Highway association meetings
in Phoenix in April.
Among the number of prominent
leaders, is J. G.. Heating OF Florence,
state vice president for Arizona, OF
the Bankhead National Highway as
sociation. He was one of the most
active advocates and workers for the
convention to meet in Phoenix ana
assisted greatly in securing the con-
vention for this city. He is quite
enthusiastic about the meeting ana
gives assurance that his part OF the
state win take an active interest IN
the coming meeting.
Several letters have been received
from chambers of commerce and
convention bureaus inquiring about
the place of the 1928 meeting. Among
that number is Detroit, Mich, AS
bury Park, n. j., Greenvlile, ,. q;
Columbus, Ohio and Chicago, Ill. It
is evident from the inquiries that
there will be a strong fight Tor the
next convention.
The most significant fact that tne
road machinery. road material. truck
and tractor and automobile dealers
of the country. are interested in the
Phoenix meeting. is the number of
inquiries about space. price. freight
rates, and conditions under which the
United States Good Roads show viii
be held. All of these inquiries are
being promptly answered, literature
sent them and assurances given that
a great crowd will be in attendance,
that is composed OF that class that
are interested and buy machinery,
material. etc.
John O'Neal of Birmingham, Ala,
a member of the board of directors
of the United States Good Roads as
sociation, of which organization he is
a life. member and one of the foun-
ders, will attend the Phoenix meet
ing and take an active part in same.
Mr.. O'Neal is one of the most pron~
inent good roads advocates in the
south. and is talking leading part
IN the propaganda of the good roads
movement throughout the country.

Taking Desperate Chance

1t is true that many contract sew
ere colds and> recover from them
without taking. any Rrecaution or
treatment, and a knowledge of this
fact leads others to take their chan
ces instead of giving their colds the
needed attention. It should be borne
in mind that every cold weakens the
lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the
system less able to withstand each
succeeding attack and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Can
you afford to take such desperate
chances when Chamberlain's- Cough
Remedy, famous for its cures Of bad
colds may be had for trifle?-Adv.
