Animals That Delight to Play

In animals the faculty of amusement
awakes very early. Our four footed
friends seem to be aware of this and
make it a part Of their parental duties
to amuse their young. A ferret will
play with her kittens, a cat with hers,
a dog with her puppies. A mare will
play with her foal. though the writer
has never seen COW try to amuse her
calf nor any birds their young. If their
mothers do not amuse them, the young
ones invent games of their own.-Lon-
don Tit Bits.

No Highway Commission.

Members from the country districts de-
feated the bill to create state highway
commission. The Free Press has never
been in hearty sympathy with the plan
to improve the highways under the SUI
pervision of commission, believing that
a more simple method could be inaug-
urated. People generally are afraid
of commissions for fear they will be
the route to additional expense in the
operation of the states governmental
machinery. Too many commissions and
boards are in existence now, and the
average taxpayer regards the creation of
more as scheme to furnish some one
with a position. To be sure the bill to
frame the highway commission did not
provide for salaries for the members,
but it would only be question of time
when these would be tackled on
Road building can be simplifed. 1t
need not be surrounded with lot of
red tape and unnecessary formalities.
Do away with the farce of working out
the road tax, put road making entirely
under the supervision OF the county CON-
missioners, town boards and county sur
veyors and the country districts can be
provided with the best of highways. In
ject business principles together with
practical sense into the work and there
is no good reason why the country roads
should not be made better than those
in the cities.
City folk are in need of education
along the line of road improvement. Take
the streets of Mankato for instance.
If they are not in need of improvement
we would like to know why.
