President Coolidge, in expressing re- gret at being unable to attend the forthcoming annual convention of the United States Good Roads Association in Houston, Tex., declared .in a letter to the association that *‘without doubt the numerous highway associations that have been formed in all parts of the country have exerted a most help- ful' influence in the direction of good road developments.” “As one looks back over the history of this development within the last 15 or 20 years” he continued, “it must be accounted one of the na-| tional marvels that we have gone so far toward giving this continent a, complete system of rural highwaye, At the beginning of this century W was everywhere recognized as a na- tional misfortune, if not a natiorgal reproach, that so little progress lgad been made in this direction. I think it fair to say that the most entlfusi- astic advocate of highway imppove- ment would hardly have dared at, that time to prophesy that within so short plished so much in this realm “It has, of course, been larigely be. cause of the automobile, but, it has been to the immeasurable advantage of every department of public interest. The people of the city have shared with those of the country ia the com mon benefit, and it is gogd to know that your convention thifs year de signs to continue the aative promo tion of this useful service.” PLEASE > b od b od *e > b od * 0 o4 b od b od b od b od b od b od *o b od > b od *0 *0 b od *¢ 9 P od B od *¢ b od b od b od b od > > > b od NEVADA FARMS INCREASE.

The decline in value while acpeage increased is attributed to the addition of large areas of grazing rands of relatively low value in the farm acreage. Banker Heads Church Board.
