GRANGE OFFICIAL IN APPEAL TO FARMERS TO BACK TRUCK WEEK Directing the attention of more than one million farmers to the issues involved in highway transportation and good roads, Thomas C. Atkeson, Washington representative and mov- ing spirit in the National grange, Patrons of Husbandry, has addressed a letter to grange secretaries throughout the country enjoining their participation in National Ship by Truck-Good Roads week. Heartily Approves "In this connection," writes Mr. Atkeson, "I heartily approve of the oeneral idea involved in Ship by Truck-Good Roads week and atten- tron that will thereby be directed to the problems of highways, trans- portation and distribution." Harry Mitchell Be Your Tailor | Suits Made fo Order *20 Extra Pants Free With Every Suit HARRY MITCHELL 16 and 18 E. Jackson Blvd. Between State and Wabash CHICAGO --1orIor== TOON |==----=10m0r= As a preface to his letter, Mr. At- keson says: "The national grange believes that the time has come when all national government highways should be uni- fied in a single administrative de- partment and that a national high- way law should be worked out which will serve the welfare of the whole country and distribute the expense of highway construction equitable between the beneficiaries." Big Help on Farm Expressing his belief that there is a place for the motor truck in agri- cultural pursuits, Mr. Atkeson con- tinues: "It is conceded that there is a place for the motor truck on the farm and most particular does this apply to the economic use of the motor truck by farm associations. To secure the most satisfactory and beneficial use of the motor truck the nation, the state, the county must have suitable permanently constructed roadbeds to insure motor truck operations from the producers to the consumer. Not only is the necessity for permanent highway apparent in this instance but an improved hikhway is a step toward the improvement and consoli- dation of rural schools and the use of schools as rural social centers."
