appreci ated a man with a fairsized truck pulled up just a few doors from tho office the other day the truck looked as though it had recently taken a mud bath there was a length of heavy rope fastened on the side mute evidence that tho truck had been pulled out of the mud the driver was mad he was say ing things to any who desired to lis ten something should be done about those roads they are awful i cant get this truck through some of them at all just goes right down to the hubs and then theres nothing to catch on we ought to have some people around who would get our roads fixed up there was much more of course but that is sufficient that took place ten tlays ago and we are certain if the driver of that truck had a plot of ground he would not have been digging in it had he been a farmer he would not have been out trying to run a seed drill the land was not ready to use and he would have known it without having to be told but when it comes to roads which apart from pavements are also land the driver expected that a miracle would have been worked the frost would come out the excess moisturo depart and the road surface would remain in fine condition he probably never stopped to think that when he was forcing that truck of his over some of the roads he was actually taking the surface gravel and driving it away down into tho mud below he was ac tually doing damage which will
