wore than the effort to educate
our farming class in the ways amll
menns of making a better farm
abd unprove the living condition
of the man who tills the soil.
IF WE WILL IT, WE CAN;
The press comments on the
Highway situation are rather con
fusing in their diagposes of the
}uroposition. There seems to be a
rather pessimistic szntiment pre
vailing that we can and will not
%2!:! ourselves out of the deleming.
That i< not at all our idea of the
matter, The propozition can be
stated in a nutshell We need a
concrete idea worked out and tie
elemination of all political com
plexities. lLet the Governor ap
point a man with training and
knowledge of construciion, wi'h
authority to act as its chairman,
Pian the work to be done and
then do it.
Whatever is accomplished, can
only te done by the determination
that we, the people of Georgia,
wish better made highways, and
built for use and without regard
to any other idea; but that we us
citizens wish them as an asset
‘and not a continued drainer of our
resources,
The great trouble with our pres
:nt plan ot highway construction
is not so much Holder, but the
folly of spreading out all over the
state a mere handful of money,
in an attempt to appease the
‘wrath of the people, and build up
i political machine to advanes
some few men, who can only at
tain high office by playing to the
randstand and desire of people 11 |
secure favors, ahead of some otl el
ommunity,
~ So far as this paper is concern
d, we have grown sick and wear)
f the idea, that the winner of
aigh office must favor one com
munity over another. Are we nu'
all subjects of the same govern
ment. Shall we be punished so
the free and open act of an Amer
ican citizen for acting as we deem
best, in the matter of chosing a
sead for our government, be i
iocal, state or national.
A good government should be
dminstered to all of the people,
vith equal rights to all and special
favors to none. That is our creed
and to hades with a man that by
nis political maruevers attempts
to gain by special favors an exe
cutive office.
If we could have a highway and
none others have them, we frank
iy admit that we would not appre
ciate that Highway. Who in the
douse wants to stay and run over
‘he same road every day of his hfe.
Lets build them over every coune
ty n Georgia. Then, lets get ac
quainted with our neighbor and if
he is living under better coaditions
than we are, make the best use of
what he has learned us,
~ Essentially |am a nome booster,

Simplicity
of cooling system
is a feature .
of the new Ford
70 R T 3
A COMPLETE water plant is
a part of every automobile
as it is a part of every mod
ern city.
The purpose of thie water
plant is to keep the engine
cooled to a temperature that
will make it efficient in oper
ation. If it were not for this,
the cylinder walis wou'd be
come overhezted and the
pistons refuse to operate.
The cooling svstem of the
new Ford is particularly in
teresting because it is so
simple and reliable.
When the radiator is full
of water, the engine of the
new Ford will not overheat
under the hardest driving.
Yet tize water is so regulated
that it will not impair en
gine operation by running
too cold in winter..
The cooling surface of
the Ford radiator is large,
with four rows of tubes set
in staggered position so that
each receives the full bene
fit of the incoming air. The
fan is of the airplane pro
peller type and draws air
through the radiator at the
rapid rate of 850 cubic feet
per minute at 1000
revolutions per min
ute of the motor,
ForD MoTOR COMPANY
Printing =
—T:e?us Supply your needs.
The hot water around
the cylinder head is drawn
to the radiator to be cooled
by a centrifugal water pump
cf new design.
The entire cooling system
of the new Ford is so simple
in design and so carefully
made that it requires very
little attention.
The radiator should be
kept full, of course, and
drained once each month so
that sediment will not collect
and retard the free passage
of water. In cold weather,
a reliable anti-freeze solu
tion should be added.
As owner and manager of
this important water plant
you should also see that the
water pump and fan shaft
are properly lubricated and
the packing around the
pump shaft kept in adjust
ment,
Hose connections may
also need replacement after
long service. For those little
adjustments, it to call
