Have you ever thought that every product you sell and every article you buy must be hauled over | the road; that your teams and vehiclés or your automobile Titist bear the “wear and fear" caused by a rough toad to sell farm products or to bring the necessities from the town? The fact that your nelghbor must also pay the high cost of bad roads is all the better reason why you, he and the rest of the neighborhood should get together and improve the road to Bave some of this expense.
