The rains are coming j on. and the roads will be getting bad. and automobiles will be getting mired, and teams will sap their vi tality in pulling light loads to their destination. You, incidentallly, may be voicing your complaints at the conditions that prevail. But don’t do it. You have had many years In which you could have used your powerful influence in behalf of better roads, and had you done so, and others followed suit, we now would have had one great improvea highway for many miles around. It is never too late, however, to mend our ways, and the omissions of to day may be remedied tomorrow if we possess the will to plan and do. Good' roads are essential to commu nity success and personal enjoyment, and every citizen would do well to labor unceasingly to this end until there is not a foot of objectionable highway left in our entire section of the country. Better roads will put more money in your pockets. Go to it, brother, go to it.
