IIIS CHRISTMAS DINNER
"What Improved Roads Mean To a
City '
First in importance after the
productive power of the soil is
the building and maintaining of
public highways. The roads of
a community arc like the nervous
system of a human body; upon
their condition depend its health
and growth.
The average country road
makes country life less protit
able wastes time labor energy
and money. The unimproved
condition of our country roads
contribute immeasurably to the
drift of population cityward and
the condition of these roads to
day extracting from the farmer
a toll proportionately larger
than the sum of his legitimate
taxes both real and personal
Kxperience has taught that
good roads are expensive but
the absence of them is costing
the people of Texas consider
ably more than to appropriate
the necessary money with which
to build tirst class roads. It is a
difficult problem to get the
farmer to see where it is better
to increase his taxes a few mills
Ion the dollar by voting a bond
issue for road purposes rather
than to market the yield ol his
farm over bad roads between his
farm and market place.
This is a day of conservatio ;
land as the minds of the people
are directed toward conserving
| their pecuniary interests the
Hi -t question to be considered is
; the e< onomical side of improved
h j.:11ways. The best investment
a i»ro| erty holder can make is to
contribute in some formtow inis
the construction of public roads.
I his is true not alone of the in
ii: v i I la I but o t the city county
and state as well There are
many instances where the build
ing of i road or a street has more

reach from our cities; they are
indications of life and prosperity
to a city; the more sources of
approach the more prosperous
is that city; there Aould be no
quicker way of destroying a city
than to isolate it cut it off from
outside communication.
A city is like a magnet which
through its various forces draws
and attracts from sections ad-
jacent; but a city will not at-
tract. neither will it ilrit v unless
there are means of access and
egress; radiating from every
city should be a system of high
ways penetrating the interior
sections of the entire territory.
These highways should be so
constructed and maintained as to
be in good condition the entire
year then the people would
come to the city more often and
the merchants would have an
average business the year round.
It means as much to a city for
roads to be in such condition
that the farmer living in the
country can take a load of pro
duce to market any season of the
year; when it- is seen that the
farmer is compelled to sell his
produce at a certain season he
at once becomes the victim of
the shrewd buyer therefore
profits which belong to him go to
the middle man; the cities are
the central market places and
unless there are good roads the
people cannot market their pro
duces as often as they should
a of which means a loss to the
city.

The instinct of thejwild animal
which roamed the primeval
forest has been handed to us to
the extent that we follow the
laws of least resistance; we in
variably do things in life requir-
ing the least effort; we lire going
to travel the roads of least re
sistance. A city to be prosper-
ous must draw to it people to
trade and the city failing to pro-
vide suitable t transportation facil-
ities need not expect to draw its
full quota of the outside trade;
the man in the country with
something to sell will go to the
place where is kept something
he can buy but in this going and
com ing the obstacles count for
much. Therefore the city pro
viding the best thoroughfares is
the city which justly merits all
the trad it cii g> t; and that
which aeplies to the city applies
alike topthe county-
What Marion county needs
most of all is good roads.

Jefferson Strawberry 6 Truck
Association
The Jefferson Strawberry A
Truck Association was organ
ized in July with the following
officers: (!. S.Niederineier pro
ident; \V. T. Neilon secretary
and treasurer; R. C. Holland
manager. Hoard of directors:
T. L. Torranii K. L Palmer G.
T. Hagirard I. (». Mraden F. I.

Capital stock #CKH) with .*)
percent paid in and charter has
been applied for. J. C. Roberts
of Tyler a man of 17 years' ex
perience has taken charge as
manager of farm and has pre
pared the entire fifty acres and
will soon he ready to set out
plants. A modern cottage is
being constructed for manager's
home
The Association will order
strawberry plants in large
quantity and in order to ship
strawberries with this Associa
tion everyone will be required
to order Klondyke plants and
anyone wishing plants can order
with Association and uet the
wholesale price at actual cost
and no matter how few plants
you wish it will be best to iv<•
your order to Secretary Neilon
at Commercial Hank. Do not
delay doing this as only plants j
will be ordered for those who
arrange for same.
I Ins Associiitmii mean a ill
versification of crops lor Marion
county and no section of Texas
is better adapted for growing
strawberries than Marion county
and to see r»0 acres of strawbei
ries with hundreds of pickere in
the piitch will be a ({rand sight
and it will be worth in value far
i more than one can begin to esti
mate.
The. directors had a great deal
of worry and hard work in se
curing the land and making this
great enterprise a certainty and
this recalls to mind the words of
Captain J. M. Deware when he
nominated the board of directors
"It takes the young men to do
things and to make this Associ
ation a success 1 would nomi-
nate the following board of
directors "
