EDITORIALS 1 he South and Highways Because our country is so large, we are often inclined to narrow our views regarding its various activities to the more • immediate sections in which we : live. Californians may think I their State is a leader in road work. New Yorkers that they ' have the only modern buildings 1 and Florida that it has the prin- I cipal recreation resorts. 1 o show the narrowness of such views, consider the road question alone. The Southern States, which have been gen erally advertised as haying bad roads, are rapidly forging to the front in"the construction of new paved motor roads. Reports from the highway departmepts of I 6 Southern States show that under their direction, a total of $170,000,000 is available for new roads this year. Including the construction work under way by counties and townships, the sums being spent in the South this year for road improvements will aggregate ap proxin ately $400,000,000. As it is with roads, so it is with other lines of activity. The w,.o!e country is growing. We should all know more about its resources and realize that its de velopment is not confined to any one favored section- Y ■•{• Heme and Happiness— Out in the barren sagebrush country of the west sits a tiny 1 here is no other house m >ight. in fact, there isn’t an other house within a radius of 30 miles. In the two small rooms of the shack with its “lean to kitchen lives a family of six. What a terrible place to live! ’ says the auto tourist as he passes by. But is it any worse or as bad as the crowded tenement sections of the cities, where large fami lies are crowded into one or two rooms? Ihe west at least has fresh air. and olenty of it. Ihe little sagebrush home v ould not suit the family of the < ity, nor would the city apart ment house be a home to him v.ho is used to the great open .■paces. Home, alter all, is that place where we arc mo t comfortable and happiest. •Y- -Y- Y« Think, Auto Drivers, Think! I low ca y it is io step on the gas, just to see how fast the old boat will go. and how quickly .something may happen that darkens a home for years to ; come. The following from the ‘Philadelphia Citizens Safety ~( otnmittee, should make us ■'thmk- ?. -A wave of the hand, a kiss _ blown on the breeze—from the i, sweetest little pal in all the world, c 1 stood for some moments 1 watchjng her, a chubby little fig- * ure in blue and white, an ex it trer.icly important little person » on her way to school. ? And then she turned the corner. It must have been about four * o’clock—my mind has been sort med since that the bo ii.r me. “Bob,” said he, ~ lay mg his hand on my shoulder, - “There’s been an accident ard ' you’d better hurry up to the i house.” f Well, t’x re isii’t much more to S iell. l : al little pal of mine— T me— wasn’t at the window i. matching fo r me as usual.

Right ' mver there, a short block away, j ; was where she turned the corner - —passed forever out of my life. Today, it was my little girl. “ Tomorrow, or next day, it will ’ be some other little pal quite as d ar. And so on, and on. un :l the conscience of men shall cry - ;» hilt to this passion for f: driving ir lucaptjes where dan- i g> r, obvious danger, stares driv | ns plumb in the eye.

As training for a novice in the business these are doubtless of considerable worth. Every trade has its fine points that can be handed down by an expert. But, after all, there is a good deal of value in the old-fashion ed idea of tieing up with a house that really offers its customers complete satisfaction for their money—and then working as hard and honestly as one human ly can'. I he merchant no longer wants a salesman who merely knows the price and' the name of his goods. If he is to be a successful salesman, he must know some thing of human nature; he must have vision and imagination; he must look beyond the single item he is endeavoring to sell. The man who calls for hose may need garters. It’s the real sales man who can lead his customer on and cause the customer to feel that he has received real service when he leaves the store. Order-takers are back num bers. Ihe customer expects more now a-days. The Worlcl’s Dollar King— If the government should con fiscate all the wealth and jaroper ty in this country, and give to each citizen a proportionate share of the whole, each one would receive approximately $3,000. The United States is the rich est nation in the world, nearly four times richer than Great Britain. In 1900 the total wealth of this country was SBB,- 000,000.000. In twenty-five years it ha s increased to nearly $320,000,000,000. Our rapid material development has been chiefly in the direction of indus trial production. Industry has gr<rwn and pros pered simply because people have saved and put that saved money-capital into machinery, plants and equipment that have provided more employment and increased production- The only logical way to maintain and in crease this material advantage i s to save persistently and to in vest and reinvest our accumula tions in honest, established en terprises. Conservative inv es tments promote national and individ- Uid prosperity. z Som 'IM SIMS ■/V SAVS Snake bit an American tourist in Cuba. Could have been worse. Sup pose it had bit him in America.

"J KUwUli Having done more than any other one man to abolish the horse, Ilcnrj Ford suggests abolishing the cows also. It takes only twenty days’ labor on the farm, he says, to raise the cow’s food. .-Ml the rest.of the time is speht in taking care of the cow herself, as an exceedingly ineffic ient manufacturer of that food into milk. Let someone invent a machine to manufacture the same materials into synthetic milk, and most of the labor now devoted to dairying can be diverted to doing something else. He is already establishing his own plants, for certain products, In tanning districts, so as to employ the farmers in their slack time. But dairy farmers are of no use for this. They have to work all the time at their farming. So hail the milk-making machine when somebody invents it. Doubtless scattering factories among the farms is a good thing. It will help cure unemployment in industry andjnonotony and isola tion on the farms, and add to the income of working farmers. But old Bossy will npt be nbqjish ed just yet". Not that synthetic milk is impos sible. It hasalready been made, by an bean oil, _ r THE AMERICA?
