The near- est approach to it is found in France and Germany, and the area of neither Is as large as Texas. This great un- dertaking is. being entered into be- cause highways are not a luxury but furnish a real service, have a real earning capacity, and have become a national neeessity. For such an undertaking to be suc- cessful, financing to care for mainte- nance, reconstruction, and new con- struction should be planned for a long ! perlod of years In advance.

Considera- tion has been given not so much to the Jjust distribution of the cost as to how the funds ean be raised with the least controversy and the utmost ease. “All this leads to the conclusion that the whole situation should be gone scheme. - The farmers .owned only sernb cattie, but despite this the cham- ber went down to Kansss City snd induced the big milk users to establish- three shipping stations in the Fort territory.

It is on the screen at the Grand tomorrow, Thursday But the chamber did not stop here. It ruised epough money to buy a train- load of the best milk-cows it could find in the United States, had them shipped to Fort Scott and:sold to the farmers at cost, which was less than the price they weuld have had to pay if they had hought individually. Last year this commbnity sold half a mil- lon dollars’ worth of milk alone. That weslth would not have come to Fort Scott but for the sale of milk. It will be spent among the business peo- ple who make up its chamber of com- merce.
