When you see empty bottles dec- orating the dark corners, that looks bad—and suspicious. When you see papers thoughtless and careless. It is bad. When you see broken glass around under foot it is pure negligence, and is both bad and dangerous. ‘When you see kitchen dumped into the back yard or tossed over the fence, it looks bad and smells worse. ‘When you see vacant property lit- tered with debris of every nature, it, too, looks bad—is offensive to the mind as well as to the eye. When you see a back yard lit- tered with the accumulations of months and of years, it looks worse than bad. Just how bad are we, anyway? Wilson or any other fellow is bally welcome to the blamed job. We don’t want it, wouldn’t have it, and positively: and absolutely refuse to take it. Love our neighbor? never advertises succeeds in squeez- ing through a crack into heaven.

In years to come it is not unreas- onable to. prophesy that large motor busses and jitney busses runnng be- tween towns on the Jefferson High- way will be very numerous. At cer- tain seasons of the year it would not he impracticable for these large mo- tor busses to make interstate trips regularly carrying vacationists to summer resorts on the Jefferson Highway. It is possible that in vaca- tion seasons, motor buss excursions might run to the beautiful lake dis- tricts of Minnesota from as far south as Kansas City. In the fall and winter they might run to the win- ter resorts of Louisiana and the vicin- ity of New Orleans from as far north as Kansas City. These motor busses of modern type afford almost as much comfort as rajlroad trains and would give much greater opportunity for sight seeing. They would gather travelers at the hotels and deliver them at other hotels and eliminate the unpleasantness of transfers at destination. Every hotel and every garage along road bed is sufficiently improved to invite tourist travel, will'-enjoy an increase in prosperity on account of this great "highway. This flow of travel will indirectly benefit every other interest in communities which can serve as way stations or supply points or tourist centers. It will be moral and educational advantage to the people of the north and the south with one another by. traveling. back and forth over the Jefferson High- way. As to the farmers living on or near the Jefferson Highway, they willfre- story of the Irishman and the flea— |ceive more “or less” benefit perhaps with apologies to the flea, however, for the comparison than any other class of people.

If this whole link were IEE B E S RS R R R R R RN When Ex-Senator Lafayette Young made the statement at.New.Orleans that a great hard.surfaced driveway trom New Orleans to ‘Winnipeg thirty feet wide and .good 365 days in the year would ;do more business .than the IMinois Central railroad,. it was attributed by many to a keen sense of-humor .and ;the use of hyperhole for boosting,purposes on the part of the speaker.. The writer confesses that he must be .included with, the many. Since the New. Orleans caon- vention .last November, however,., we have had occasion to inyestigate mot only the commercial value of:public highways. but the possibilities of the modern .motor. truck ,and the motor buss for use between cities.and towns and for use by farmers.in transport- ing produce::from, the farm to the L, After :his investigati arg ready to beliew 13t whil X Senator Young may himself have. meant .to inject a little humor méers The motor trucl rcut out, nathing;weuld be logt,and all:of the time sayed cquld be devoted. to productive labor. When the dairyman came. to.a-fulh: realization of this situation he bought la truck. ‘Naw_he makes;the round trip of twenty-six miles in-two and lone-half hours. Over the horse and .wagon method he will gain at least ix years time, counting the care of vhorses, during the next twenty-one years. In other words, he can spend t least six years at doing nothing or r:nkmg care of more dairy cattle or increasing his farming operations or. iln any other manner he sees fit and t the same time carry on just as [large a dairy business as he has dur- ing the past twenty-one years. If a man’s time is worth anything| ',in earning power, six years of- it are .worth saving. This is but one example that is belng duplicated in hundreds of “in- ,pnnces by dairy men and truck:grow- has o,gl statmnts, they comg' nep— for th ‘-jroads. The practical use of the big motor |cream at wholesale, and truck grow- truck for transporting merchandise|ers, have adopted the motor truck as|- the| transportation of the Jefferson Highway as soon as the| and.the middle west to intermingle, cial purpéses. The motor truek| 56‘00 their value would purchase Highway apd|Seven or eight head of good cattle = as soon n@hey ‘Dairy men -who-sell-milkor rapidly as possible. The. superiority! of the motor truck over horse drawn vehicles for heavy transportation has llong since been-estaplished apd where the; transportation problem is so imr ortant a part.of thel husiness as it is.in the praduction of milk.or cream in large quantities and in truck grow- the adyisability of using motor trucks instead -of: horse.delivery. The adaptability of the motor truck for the bjg general farm is a ques- ‘tion of greater interest at the present time, because farmers engaged in dairying or in truck growing are very few in number as compared to the general farmer. Everyone asks, can the motor truck in its various sizes be economically adapted to the gen- eral farm. of one hundred acres and up. 4 The writer feels that the use of motor trucks of one size or another warmly. digcussed for a year or two yet, and then accepted as practical nd the motor truck will be quite gen- erally adopied on the average sized farm up tg the largest. The motor truck js of particular value on long distance hauls. If one is in the habit of marketing his crops. at a town three miles away be- capse. the next market even though a good deal better is fifteen miles away, he may lost considerable money in a year’s time by not being able to. sell on the best market. Fifteen miles is rather a prohibitive distance for teams. with heayy loads, and cer- tainly twenty-five miles is an imprac- ticable distance for teams. The mo- tor truck, however, makes hauling twenty-five miles in any direction, perfectly practicable. The motor truek can.successfully negotiate with just as bad roads and as heavy loads as teams can. So the question of between horses and trucks but as a matter of economy either for the horse or:the trucks, good roads are of absolutely inestimable value. If it would mean anything to a farmer to increase his heavy hauling or. market radius to a distance of ing, there is really no question abouit |- on general farms will he more or less)' roads. is not a very large factor as} twenty-five or thirty or even forty miles in exceptional cases, then that §hould be taken into consideration with regard to the purchase of a truck. Like every other piece of machin- ery, the more a truck is used the greater -will he the return on the in- vestment. It is customary for three or four farmers to buy a small shredder -outfit or hay baling outfit or even a small threshing outfit in four farmers would like to try out.a. medium . sized motor truck for their purposes;: it will work out very ad- vantageously: for them to buy a truck in partnership. If the trueck can be kept busy between them, there is absolutely no. question- about its be- ing.a very profitable investment. If it develops:later: on that mote than one truck is needed for the partner- ship or that each of the partners can use a truck for his own purposes en- | tirely, they will;all have the advan- tage of the experience with the first truck and the additional investment wijl mot seem to be;an experiment. ‘The man: who thinks he could not finance the purchase of a truck could afford to sell off twenty acres of land: which: it requires to feed four head of horses a.year.and buy a truck with the proceeds and still have as much land left for crop purposes as he had before, after feeding his horges, If, four head of horses are worth and the twenty acres of horse feed could.hie added.to the support of these additional cattle or.of more hogs if it is .preferred. to keep hogs. From these commercial considera- tions, it is plain to see that sentiment and the.love of building great works is but the beginning of the Jefferson WAy, and, that its real purpose and value is economic and practical. It is’ easy to, ‘believe that in a few yenrs the, Jefferson Highway will be npt only a great artery of interstate tourist, but a great highway of com- mercial traffic as well.
