MANAGEMENT OF ROADS
HOW the Work May Be Systematized under County Administration
 with Good Results.

in an address before the Missouri bdirymens association. A. N. Johnson. hlghway engineer, office of good roads ol the department of agriculture. gave the following advice Tn regard to svs- @matizing the road work under a county administration:
 What l would suggest is that every county have skilled road engineer constantly employed. (See chart1 He shouiI be man chosen for special 9ualiileations in his business. As a rule, think il is better that he should not Ge a native of the county in which he is to work.
 Secondly. you should see that an ef- heleat road law is enacted for each county of the state. IS we all know mat the successful conduct of busi- ness depends upon the adoption and ioIloWing out of proper set of rules and regulations, and the rules and regulations for the conduct of the road business are the road laws that you adopt and enforce.
 All construction and repairs to the county roads should come directly un- Ger the supervision of the road en- glneer and he should keep an account of all expenditures connected with the work and should make an annual re- port Of the same. The road engineer should audit all bills and accounts for road work, and no bills should be paid unless approved by him.
 The county should te divided into road districts; the roads in each dis tTIct should be named and so far as possible used. The road districts and the roads should be indicated on a county map on a scale large enough to enable each road and it's name to be shown clearly. The road in each county should also be classified as first class, second class, etc. according to the amount of travel each receives.
 "Tne road district sGould have a su- nerVlsor or superintendent (see chart) to be employed throughout the year and he should give his time to the cad work in his district
 ''At the beginning of the year two- .hirds Of the total amount of the road levy of a particular district should be allotted to road and bridge repairs in hat district: and the remaining one third of the road levy should consti- ute a general fund from which the ex- pense of all large bridges and the special improvement of the most i'm portant roads should be met: and il might also serve as an emergency fund.
 "Tae accounts to he kept by the roads engineer should be !temized in

Noon as Natures Dining Hour.

Persons who keep close watch on themselves are of the opinion that the hour of noon is the most critical pc riod of life, At that time the human frame undergOeS serious changes. The stomach has dispatched the morning meal and sends scouting parties in search of another The eyes and brain are on the alert, and there is a sort of all gonenesS pSrvading the anatomy that sharpens the faculties and puts new edge on the teeth. It is natures dining time, and everything about tue healthy man Or woman is attuned to the demolition or enjoyment of what is called good square meal" Those who pay heed to the prompting of na- ture at this divine hour have their re- ward in good appetite, good temper and excellent digestion, which is con ducive to all the good that flesh is heir to. But those who, following the i'm perious dictates of fashion, defer the hour of dining until all natural long ingS are dead and have to be rcSurrect- ed by adYentitiouS aids lay q train of evils and discomforts which sooner or later become the plague of their lives.

Well. Molly" Mrs. Briggs kissed her daughter again tenderly. I'm glad to get you back. It was unreasonable in your Uncle Page to keep you for months. I'll never spare you so long again.
 That isn't the only thing Uncle Page Is unreasonable about" Mary replied, following her mother to the buggy.
 Mrs. Briggs said nothing more until they were jogging along the pleasant road. Then she turned with a doubt ful smile. We may as well have it out and done with, Molly Of course know you mean that your uncle is un- reasonable about that schoolteac cher, but he's good judge of men,
 He is too prejudiced to judge fair ly," Mary declared. And be preiudic- ed you against Allen too If you only waited until you had become acquaint- ed with him. mother"-
 Il would never consent to your mar rying mere schoolteacher" Mrs Briggs broke in.

 Mary was silent and her mother scrutinized her face, finding 1t thinner than it should be and pale, now the ex- citement of their meeting had passed That made her anxious.
 You can't really have cared for him, Molly, so as to make you unhap- py! You had never seen him until you went up there, and your father and were two years. off and on, making up our minds.'

 a chance to show what was in him. He went away, as you had forbidden me to see him, and l have known nothing of him since" Mary said wistfuly.
 Mrs. Briggs felt sudden contempt for the young man who had obeyed her mandates so completely without a struggle However, it only proved him a poor thing, unworthy such prize as Mary, and the dear girl was young. She would get over it and be happy in the love of some man who was man. Such q one was at hand and Mrs. Briggs considered him so desirable as a son-in-law that she already regarded him as such prospectively.
 "Well.' she said finally, T am glad Molly. that you hold no srudge against me. l told you about the judges neph- CIV, a fine. smart young fellow. Mrs. Brown has a couple of girl cousins wis iting her, and the IIendersons have several nice .e,ung men among the Doarders.

 Mary shrank, exclaiming, "Oh, moth. CT. want to stay quietly at home with you"'
 And have people saying you're mop ing over a disappointment% Mrs Briggs spluttered.
 II don't care what they say. It's no use, mother l see what you mean for me, but l can't forget" Then, with a wan smile, Il am not behaving very well. mother, but don't mind it, and let's just go on as usual
 And don't fling me at the judges nephew" she added mentally.
 'I have asked the nephew and Flora for this evening"" Mrs Briggs said presently, "but can send John to tell them you are too tired"
 John. the new hand?" Mary com mented absently.
 'Yes. and he's q wonderful manager There he is" Mrs. Briggs pointed with her whip as they rounded the home corner.
 Mary glanced indifferently at the fig ure beyond the grove. then with a low cry leaned forward. gazing intently
 "John:' she repeated, turning be wifdered face to her astonished moth CT.
