Sit tight, take a firm grip, and lis
ten and think while we speak of good
roads again. 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.
