The automobile tourists who found brush piled upon the road by indignant farmers had only themselves to blame for these obstructions, for In their eagerness to break records Bcorching across the country they were all too heedless of property rights and even of human life, declares a writer In the Even in this day of Iowa Homestead. automobiles, when such states as Iowa and Kansas report as many motor cars owned by farmers as by city men, there remains farm opposition to the automobile, founded almost entirely on the drivers reckless disregard of the farmer's rights. The story comes from Kansas of an officials of one of the transcontinental highway routes setting forth to discover the reason of farm opposition. He found it to lie entirely in the carelessness displayed by the automobil-ist- s to the rights of others. Here is his report in detail in regard to one section of the route: I have been getting down to the grass roots to find out why some farmers are opposed to improvement of cross-stat- e automobile roads, such as the Santa Fe trail. I had imagined it was a matter of taxes, and that the farmers were opposed to money being spent for road improvement. But that is not the cause. Dead chickens cause more opposition than taxes. In Franklin county, where there has been more difficulty than anywhere else in the state, in getting county road improvement, I found that nearly every kicker had been losing chickens. Those joy riders come along the pike llekety-spli- t and kill the chickens, run down the dogs, and never think of even one Franklin county apologizing, That's why I don't farmer told me. want to see any improved road near my farm. I'd rather drive in the ruts and save my chickens. Where the good road promoters and the automobile enthusiasts encounter farm opposition it is almost alwdys the result of some such heedless disregard of others rights as reported here. The motor car driver has only himself to blame. He is his own worst enemy, i ntliis matter of good highways over which to scorch at top speed. Nothing of recent adoption has greater reason for being or more justification than the automobile, but its abuses are as numerous and as flagrant as its use. There are altogether too many men who think that the possession of a motor car exempts them from the ordinary statutes, not to say civilities. When this abuse has been corrected farm opposition to automobile highways will have disappeared. farm-owne- TALKS FEELING OF SYMPATHY BETWEEN DRIVER AND ENGINE. Farmers Made Angry by Contemptuous Indifference of Reckless Speeders. Representative Opinion as to HOW A MOTOR d One day my chauffeur was taken ill, and I drove myself In, left the car standing In a side street during the day, and drove home at night Then, for the first time, I began to sense the feeling of mutuality, or mutual sympathy, if such an expression may be permitted, between animate and inanimate things, between the machine and myself. Several trips by myself confirmed the sensation; then I bought another car for the family, and now drive myBelf regularly in this one. 1 have often thought of the stories told by locomotive engineer, in which their great engines are endowed with almost mental faculties.

For it is not only the largest and best known city of Mesopotamia the cradle of the world but it is one of the few remaining cities still unspoiled by western innovations.
