The reason are have never had tatter

content to blame somebody else for
bsd roads Instead of co-operating
with' other ciUseas 1b his community
and county by levying taxes and |

Mr. 8mall used an effective 111 us- ;

We have as fertile lands In Bast- J

In the country, but most of them are \l
swamp lands and will not produce d
regularly unless drained. t
Proj-er drainage can be brought J
about only by An land owners co- b
operating with pne. another and J
forming drainage districts. "By this t
means," stated Mr. Small, "our ]
lands can be drained not nniv -ffl- M

"The selfish man," the speaker ve

seeks to squeeze out of others in his

admitted, "to a great disappointment.
The 75-foot waterllne length,
which I stipulated. Is more than that ^
of any cntter of that type on this

that of any In America, excepting the

all the more so because Araer- t,]
