make clear to his class the funda-
mental doctrines Of the Declaration Of

'Now, boys he said, II will give
you each three ordinary buttons. Here
they are. You must think Of the first
one as representing Life, Of the second
one as representing Liberty, and the
third one as representing the Pursuit
of Happiness. Next Sunday will ask
you each to produce the three buttons
and tell me what they represent"
The following Sunday, In accordance
with his plan, the teacher Intercepted
his class on the subject of the buttons,
'Now, Johnnie" he said to the young
est member, produce your three but
tons and tell me what they stand for"
Whereupon the youngster began to

Feeding The German Emperor is no

about the Kaisers Spartan habits
there are few monarchs who keep
more elaborate tables.

meals for the day served in the style
Of whatever nation he may happen to
fancy.
Each of these chefs has his STAFF of
assistants; while, in addition, there Is
an individual who may safely be de-
scribed as sausage maker to the
Kaiser"
His majesty is very fond Of the huge
white frankfurter sausage, and has
supply Of them made fresh every day
in his own kitchen. When engaged in
maneuyring his army on big field
day these frankfnrters and bread
washed down with lager beer invari-

~ that the people OF this sec
lion have gone into the good roads
movement with enthusiasm, -.-.
A State good roads convention has
Just been held at Springfield, H., and
although 1t is the busy season with
the farmers, there was an attendance
Of about 200 delegates, besides many
visitors. Senator Latimer, of South
carolina, was the principal speaker,
and he delivered an able and eloquent
address. Naturally be devoted con.
siderable attention to the principle of
National aid as embodied in the bills
introduced into Congress by himself
and Colonel Brownlow, Of Tennessee.
,Ehe Senator is strongly OF the opinion
that the Government should contribute
some of its surplus revenues to aid the
states in building good roads, and
he has many cogent reasons to offer
in support Of that proposition. At the
close OF his address Senator Latlmer
asked all present who agreed with him
70 stand up, and all but three or four
sprang to their feet. There was some
opposition, however, ied by. Professor
Baker, Of the State University, and
protracted discussion followed in which
the professor came Off decidedly second
best.
one Of the great obstacles to road
improvement in some parts Of the
Mississippi Valley is the scarcity of
material for building roads. In large
portions Of Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas
and several other States, there is
neither stone nor gravel. All the ma
terial used in surfacing hard roads has

ably to the expense But the bottom

such a burden that people are willing
to lax themselves heavily to secure re- |

see an enormous Improvement in the |
roads Of the Middle West.
Where there is good local material
considerable progress has already been
made. In Missouri there are hundreds
at miles Of fine hard roads. The same
may be said Of Minnesota. In some 10.
calities excellent roads have been built

| crops are grown with profit, the cost
Of planting, caring and harvesting this

The range of production is from

In many instances still better results
have been obtained. Growers gener-
any however, prepare TO care for fifty
barrels to the acre, Mr.. Erwin's crop

averaged him fifty barrels to the acre

Mr.. Erwin states however that it
is not quite fair to charge up the en-.
