On With the Motor Power

Every mile of good roads laid by states, counties, towns and
villages has a bearing on the nations business SO far reaching
that it would puzzle the mind to follow it to its logical con-
clusion. Of course, the natural tendency is to look at the bene-
fits that come nearest and soonest to hand, benefits which are
indisputable, providing unwise financing of such improvements
does not more than offset the good that is bound to be gained
Reports from all over the country show that interurban
f~reighting is on the increase due to good road building, particu-
larly where the terminal facilities of railroads are congested.
This means more motor trucks, more men at work, more money
earned, and a consequent greater spending power. Haulage of
farm products to shipping stations spells more business for the
farmer, and better still makes his marketing more elastic.
The effect is also seen in the great increase of bus transpor-
tation in districts where the street car has not shown its nose
as yet, bringing business into the small towns. Trade is rapidly
increasing, particularly where the merchant has vision to send
his message to the outlying districts through the local press.
America today is on the eve of a development IN motor
trucks, omnibuses, and large and small farm tractors that in
point of volume will surpass the development of the railroads.
Some of the railroad men view the situation with a certain
feeling of alarm, but there is nothing to fear. It is the same
faneiful spectre that haunted the mind of the printer when tn,
troesetfng machine came into being. Where one man was at
work under the old system there are fifty at work today.

What better title could be found
for an article than the word. LIS
TENING. Very often you see the
sign, stop. Look, LISTEN We ask
you to change the words, "Tune in.
Cease to listen to the worlds bah
blings. Listen to the music of the
choir. Listen TO the sermon from
Gods pulpit. Listen to the gospel
Of Jesus Christ"
Through the courtesy of the
AUTOCASTER newspaper service.
and the far-sightedness of John
Perry, the writer is able to speak
to thousands of readers through the
thousands of papers that use this
service. Perhaps 10 better service
can be found in America. 1t is in
valuable. not only to the small
papers throughout the country, but
also to the larger papers.
Let me urge you and your readers
to listen to the radio service which
is b~roadeasted from my pulpit every
Sunday. Remember the difference
in time. Those of you on the Pacific
Coast will use Pacific time; in the

ence OF two hours In time; In the
middle west, there is a difference
of two hours in time in the Eastern
section there is three hours differ
ence.

How About $14,31O,2OO,OOO

hundred thousand dollars from one another calling the accom-
plshment a day of good business, while the Broadway lounge
lizards are cuttering the streets of our cities and boring US
with their silly chatter, the great American farmer comes along
with a production of goods worth $14,3102O0,000 for the year
1922. When one thinks of this accomplishment IN terms Of
service to America, everything else vanishes from view.
The crops harvested during the year were>worth $8,961 ,000-
900, while the value of farm animals and animal products footed
up to $5,349,2 00,O00.
The outlook for 1923 is even brighter.
The spending power of country America almost staggers
the imagination even as it is, and with a steady growth in sight.
The year 1922 shows an increase of nearly $2,00O000000
over 1921. What the increase for 1923 will be IS speculative
Texas led all the states in 1922 in the value of farm crops
and animals, footing up to a value of 81 ,001, 100000. Iowa came
second, and Illinois third.
It is the farmer and the demands of the farmer that keep
the manufactures of the East busy and hold labor at its task.
How important it is that each should understand the problems
and ambitions of the other, the farmer and the bricklayer, the
mill worker and the farm hand-the real men of America, the
sustainers of American life.
