THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Farni-To-Markct Roads
The demand for form-to-market
' roads grows. It is becoming so
widespread and so insistant that we
cannot see how the authorities are
going to disregard it.
People on roads that serve that
purpose are awaking to the fact that
they are, by paying gasoline taxes
and for auto license plates, con
tributing largely to the construction
of roads that are of no material
benefit to them.
And authorities are coming to the
conclusion, or should come to con
clusion, that building highways for
tourists and joy riders is not by any
means contributing to the upbuild
ing of the state at large in anything
like just proportion to the expense
of such highways.
With these two important facts
before them certainly the highway
authorities, both state and federal,
should be given more attention to
the providing of adequate roads over
which farmers can, with greater
speed and at less cost haul their pro
ducts to market and the supplies
they have to buy from market.
Farmers reap no benefits from
tourists and practically none from
joy riders-nor is the state reaping
any very great benefits from them,
at least nothing like as much as the
expense of constructing paved high
ways especially for them would de
mand should be reaped.
The larger towns and cities which
have seen benefits from tourits have
been diligent in inducing the author
ities to provide highways that would
draw travel to and through them;
rural people have remained quies
cent and not made such demands.
But they are becoming restive for
having due consideration shown
their interests. They are altogethe
er within their rights in so doing.
Benefits of a complete system of
roads in rural sections would be of
vast magnitude. We need rehabili
tation of rural sections to bring back
recovery of all other interest of the
state and nation. Rural or farm
sections needs, and need badly, bet
ter transportation facilities to aid
ihem in achieving success. Until
farmers are enabled to become more
successful we will never have full
mede of recovery or prosperity in
our land. It would seem then to
be obligatory upon the part of our
highway authorities to do that which
will most insure to the success of
the farming element, to say nothing
of the justice of providing them
with advantages for which they are
paying their full part.
We love to see tourists come
shooting through in their “Rolls-
Royces” and we enjoy taking a joy
ride occasionally over our paved
highways but we would much rather
see our farmers coming into town
; in any and all sorts of weather in
: their flivvers loaded with produce
| and carrying back supplies bought of
j our merchants, and we would surely
' get more pleasure out of having them
to be able to drop in and pay their
subscription without grimmacing like
they were having teeth pulled.
Let’s all join heartily in the grow
ing demand of the farmers that they
be given due consideration in road
building in the state.—Oglethorpe
Echo.
Presbyterians Are Urged To Drive
Like Christians
San Francisco.—A resolution call
ing for autoing for automobile driv
ing “with a courtesy and grace
which becomes Christians,” was a
dopted today by the California synod
of the Presbyterian church.
The synod represents 98,000 Pres
byterians. #
“Whoever else may drive in dis
regard of the rights or safety of
other people, let us at least not do
so,” the resolution stated, “but ob
serve upon the highway the courtesy
and grace which becomes Chris
tians.”
Divorce Is Granted
Los Angeles.—Eleanor Wilson
McAdoo was granted a final divorce
decree from Senator McAdoo of
California tonight.

“SEVEN SINS OF TRAFFIC”
Recently we asked an old-time
commercial driver, who had driven
for eighteen yeai's under all sorts of
traffic Sand weather conditions, to
list the outstanding causes of high
way accidents, based on his obser
vations.
Here are the Seven Deadly Sins
of Traffic, as he sees them:
1. Inattention; failure to heed
the work at hand.
2. Excessive speed which he says
is an element in nearly all serious
crashes.
3. Traffic violations. Law abiding
drivAs have a right to depend on
observance of traffic rules by others.
4. Intoxication. The drinking
driver is a constant menace and the
problem has become more serious
since repeal.
5. The road hog. He endangers
everybody and belongs in jail.
6. Unfitness for driving. Either
mental or physical disabilities tend
to destroy one’s sense of alertness.
7. Failure to keep car in safe con
dition. Frequent inspection is the
best protection.
Kidney Poisons
DO you suffer burning, scanty or
too frequent urination; backache,
headache, dizziness, swollen feet and
ankles? Are you tired, nervous—feel
all unstrung and don't know what is
wrong?
Then give some thought to your
kidneys. Be sure they function proper
ly, for functional kidney disorder per
mits excess waste to stay in the blood,
and to poison and upset the whole
system.
Use Doan's Pills. Doan's are for the
kidneys only. They are recommended
the world over. You can get (he gen
uine, time-tested Doan's at any drug
store.

Plum Puddings
AS good a plum pudding as
was ever made anywhere, a
plum pudding that is ex
ported in great quantities to Eng
land where pium puddings were
invented comes in cans all ready
to eat. If your grocer hasn’t got
it, and you ask for it early enough,
he’ll get it for you, and all you
have to do is to heat the can
thoroughly in boiling water and
open it with the attached key. It
opens easily because a herring
bone scoring around the can pre
vents the key from breaking the
tin strip, and enables you to turn
out the pudding whole. Top it
with whipped cream and a sprig
of holly, and there you are!
Or Make it Yourself
But some people never can feel
that a plum pudding is a plum
pudding with the proper Christ
mas character to it unless they
have personally put in all the
good things that go into plum
puddings. For people who feel
that way about It. here’s the
recipe for a
Christmas Plum Pudding-. Com
bine one-half cup grated raw sweet
potato, one-half cup grated raw
carrot, one-half cup suet, one
fourth cup molasses and one
fourth cup sugar. Add one-half
cup chopped vacuum-packed wal
nuts, one-fourth cup thinly-sliced
citron, one-fourth cup currants
and one-fourth cup chopped can
died orange peel, and mix well.
Add two tablespoons white grape
juice and two well-beaten eggs.
Sift together three-fourths cup
flour, one-half teaspoon salt, one
fourth teaspoon soda, one-half
teaspoon baking powder, one-half
teaspoon cinnamon, one-half tea
spoon nutmeg and one-fourth tea
spoon cloves, and add to first mix
ture. Pour into a greased pud
ding mold, cover and steam three
hours Serves eight.*
