Show WHAT THE AUTO IS DOING. This is the age of the automobile. You ride for miles through country coun-try roads and the further you go the more you are impressed with the part the automobile is playing in everyday affairs. In Utah today there is not a village too small to be without a gas station. Ten years ago Loa, Utah, was out in the wilds. It was 35 miles by stage to the railroad, over a mountain and down a long canyon can-yon which made travel so slow that few residents of the little town ever saw a railroad train. Today the farmers of Loa go by the city man with a roar and in less than two hours are filling up their tanks with gasoline, preparing J to go on to the next railroad town, and they make drives of over 200 miles in a day for no other purpose than to go visiting. Now what do you think of that? Going back to boyhod days, when a trip of 20 miles by team was a long tiresome journey, one is made to realize how great has been the advancement in method of travel in a comparatively short period. |
