Government Aid for Roads.

Representative Graham, in the house
of representatives, and Senator Pen
rose, in the senate, have introduced
bills appropriating $5,OeO,Ooo for the
building of public roads in the several
states of the United States, the appro-
priation to be applied to each state in
proportion to the mileage of roads
within the state, to be used exclusively
for the building of permanent roads
under the direction of the department
of agriculture. These bills are fathered
by the League of American Wheelmen,
which has done more to forward the
interests of bicycle riders than all the
other organizations put together. 1t
is not likely that the money will be ap-
propriated at this session of congress,
but the leaven will work, and if the
national government will aid the states
in this matter we may in few years
see the mud paths which now pass for
roads became magnificent highways
such as every European country pos

Making the Home Attractive.

How much brighter and more cheer
full many farm homes would be with a
few of these easily grown, easily cared
for shrubs scattered about. These and
a few of the hardy, easily grown climb
ers like the Halleana and Monthly
Fragrant honeysuckles would make
many farm home so per cent. more
homelike and attractive than they now
are. 1 have been in houses where par
ents rapturously listened to daughter
thump piano and sing about the
'lovely little home where the climbing
roses bloomed and sweet honeysuckles
clambered," while their premises were
as bare of climbing roses and honey
suckles as the desert of Sahara. Why
not plant few of these little things
and make home more homelike? Do
it this spring.-Fred Grundy, in Farm

COOPERATION PAYS.
Michigan Farmer Explains How One
Road in His State Was Perma-
ncntly Improved.

One of the disadvantages under
which our farmers are laboring is poor
roads. This being a sandy country,
there is scarcely time during any
part of the year that our roads are
good. Something like five years ago,
about 25 farmers came together and
offered to haul mari one day free If
the township would allow them to take
the mari from it's bed. The township
was willing, and about 20 men volun-
tered to shovel and level the mari, and
so the first half mile was laid. That
road proved such success that the
next year another half mile was put
down. This mari packed down so hard
and made such excellent bed for gravel
that the farmers donated 1925 and la
Dor for about one-quarter mile of grav-
Ell. This being put on in what was al
ways q wet place it was spread about
eight inches thick. Next year $3.50 was
collected and about one-half mile was
put down, spreading this only about
four inches. This year only $1OO was
collected, but quarter-mile strip was
put down, finishing the mile started
five years before. Besides this about
half mile of mari was put down ready
for gravel next fall.
This method of making road is
good one, for if the mari is once packed
down and if gravel is then added the
resulting roadbed is as hard as
macadam. Next year the township
will try to raise 5000 for gravel if the
farmers will pledge their labor toward
getting 1t down, and now about year
before it is needed three-fourths of the
labor is promised. This shows what
farmers can do if their town is too
poor to make good roads. This is the
sort of cooperation that pays.-Michi-
gan Letter, in Orange Judd Farmer.

THE WORST TEACHER.

That teacher was the worst we ever
tackled;
He wara't so very tall. and he was light.
1t is best to lay your eggs BEFORE you've
cackled,
Though we never had notion he could
fight
For he acted sort o. meechin' when he
opened up the school,
We sort of got the notion he was It-and
we tagged COOL.
We gave him lots of jolly in free and
easy way,
And showed him how we handled guys as
got to actin gay.
We showed him where the other one had
torn away the door
When we logged him out and dumped him
in the snow the year before.
And soon's we thought we had him scarf,
we sat and chawed and spit,
And kind O. thought we'd run the school
-concludin' he was 1t.
It worked along in that way, sir, till Fri
day afternoon.
We hadn't lugged him out that week, but
lowed to do it soon.
That Friday, long about three O'Clock, he
said there'd be recess,
And said: THE smaller kids and girls can
go for good, 1 guess"
And he mentioned smooth and smily, but
with kind O. greenish eyes,
That the big boys were requested to re-
main for exercise.
And when he called us in again he up and
locked the door,
Shucked off his cot and weskit, took the
middle of the floor,
And talked about gymnastys in quiet lit
tie speech,
Then he made pass at Haskell, who was
nearest one in reach.
Twas hot and swift and sudden, and II
took him on the jaw,
And that was all the exercise the Haskell
feIer saw.
Then jumpiu' over Haskell's seat, he saun-
tered up the aisle,
A-hittin' right and hittin' left and wearin'
that same smile.
And when a Teller started up and tried to
hit him back
Twas slipper-sapper, whacko-cracker,
hango-bango-crack!!
And never, sir, in all your life, did you see
fippers whiz
In such blame chain-lightnin' style as
them ere hands of his.
And though we hit and though we lodged
or rushed by twos and threes-
He simply strolled around that room and
licked us all with ease.
And when the thing was nicely done, he
dumped us in the yard,
He clicked the paddock on the door and
passed US all card;
And this was what was printed there:
prof. Joseph Tate,
Athletics made a speciality and champion
middle weight"
That teacher was the worst we ever tack
led,
He warn't so very tall and he was light.
1t is best to lay your egg before you've
cackled,
Though we never had notion he could
fight.

SPANISH STEEL ROAD.
Saving IN the Cost of Repairs Paid
for Its Construction In Very
short Time.

In response to inquiries made by the
department Of state, Consul Washing
ton at Valencia, Spain, has given the
that has been in use in that country
for seven years:
"The road between Valencia and
Grao is two miles in length, and an
average of 5000 vehicles pass over it
daily. Until 1892, it was constructed of
flint stone. The annual cost of keep
ingit in repair was about 5000 pesetas.
AT the rate of exchange at that date,
this amounted to $5,470.
1.-THE construction of steel road
way was determined on, and the an
nual cost of keeping in repair the CEN
trail zone of road thus relieved from
heavy traffic-which proceeds over the
steel rails-is now only $500 pesetas,
or about $3.50 at the present rate Of
exchange.
"a Belgium firm received the con-
tract to furnish the steel work, hav-
ing bids less than Spanish firms at
Barcelona and Bilbao.
1.-THE length of road SO built is 3.2
kilometers Q.9SS miles). The cost per
kilometer (0.62137 mile) was 44,1Oo
pesetas ($6,S90).
''The total cost of the road laid was
6o,95O pesetas ($9,5O6). The expense
in detail was:

"At each side of the rail are layers

Jenny's Strange Guest
By MARY A. P. STANSBURY.
~ CURE sure you won't be lone
N>>>>>>>>~A>>>>>A>

" CURE sure you won't be lone
some, Jenny?' Farmer John
Harmon stood in the glow of the broad
fireplace, wrapped in great coat and
muller, his fur cap pulled down about
his ears, and his whip in his hand, while
the paving hoofs of his impatient
horses crunched the snow outside. He
stopped as he spoke, lifting his little
daughters chin till the clear, brown
eyes looked full into his own, with the
frank smile which always warmed his
heart.
'No, indeed, father! How could I be
lonesome, with such little chatter
box as Tony? Hark! do believe he is
waking now-the darling!"
I'm very sorry that Manda Lawson
couldn't have come to stay with you,
but, of course, if Dawes sick, it stands
to reason that she can't leave him. But
Steve and I'll be back before dark,
never fear. Hello! you were right,
Jenny. Here comes the little gen
eral!''
A chubby boy of three years old APP
peared in his night gown from the adj
joining room, his cheeks rosy and his
yellow curls tangled from his morning
nap.
The father caught him in his strong
arms, and held him, shrieking with
laughter, far above his head.
Fathers little man! Walked up to
say good-by! And he'll take good care
of sister, won't hep"
The young girl held out her arms, and
the child leaped into them, hiding his
face upon her shoulder.
swell, good-by, Jennie!" He paused a
moment, wistful look creeping over
his strong, sun-browned face. you're
more like your mother every day, my
daughter"
Father, father!" called CHEEKY
voice outside.
Coming, Steve!"
The door opened, letting in a great
wave of frosty air, and as it closed be-
hind him the sturdy farmer clambered
to a seat beside his son, and with a
crack of whip and jingle of bells the
iodNCo olSioh SiPpCu ShCCllly away.
Jenny stood at the window, still hold
ing the child. She was just IA, although
her slight, childish figure made her
seem younger by two or three years.
The death of her mother, when Tony
was but helpless baby, had thrown
premature burdens upon her slender
shoulders-burdens which she had
borne with patient, unselfish cour-
age far beyond her years.
She was quite used to being left alone
in the frontier cabin with her little
charge, while her father and brother
were at their work, and it was with no
especial sense of loneliness that she
watched the moving sleigh until it was
lost from sight at sharp turn of the
forest-bordered roadway. The nearest
