SEEING the Sichts.

Even in these days of liberal educa-

how confused are the ideas shut up in
their heads. Illustrative OF this is the
native blunder which Edmondo de
Amicis recounts in his story of a voy-
age from Genoa to Buenos Ayres:
The captain of the steamer which
numbered the charming young blum

one morning and said:

The Automobile and Better Roads.

Automobiling has given the good
roads movement great impetus. 1t
has brought into it men from the
cities who were never far from a
paved street until they began to travel
around in their autos. They are now
the backbone of the movement. The
farmers have learned a lot on the sub
ject and they are joining hands with
the men who once had their most cor
dial enmity. They are not only with
them on the road question. but they
are even recognizing the fact that the
automobile Is very useful vehicle.
With good roads connecting the mar
kets and the farms there Is no reason
why automobile transportation for the
produce OF the land may not soon fol.

trucks are in use in all large cities
for heavy hauling and IL farmers have
roads with bottoms to them they will

To this line Of argument the farmer
may answer that his greatest obliga.

household, and that among the duties
to his family and to the heirs of his
estate is that of practicing judicious
economy-buying where he can buy

tage. And this brings us to the Sec
ond point in the argument--the para
mount question in this commercial
age-"Will 1t pay?'
BY most people an affirmative an.
swer to that question is accepted as
the call OF duty. AS matter OF fact,
"Will 1t pay?" Is a good test to apply
to any project or proposition. There
are commercial. as we'll as political,

demagogues, and the man who Is ap.
pealed to on the score OF patriotism
or profit, duty or dollars, can scarcely
do better than to sit down by himself
and submit that question-"Will 1t
pay|-to his own best judgment
Provided always. that he goes to the
very bottom OF It.

A consideration more important,
perhaps. is that the printed price In

the goods; you may examine them
critically; he may allow you to test
them or to call In an expert to advise
you. Is 1t fair to conclude that the

His business depends wholly upon the

The Music Of Man and Birds.

The Music OF Man and Birds.
IF the discovery of independent evo-
lutions OF human music all tending in
the same direction indicates the exist
ence OF an ideal standard toward
which progress leads, how much
stronger Is the evidence afforded by
the fact that bird music is developing
along the same lines? 1t seems a far

stop there; for. remarkable as II may
seem, there was a time when the
music from which ours has been
evolved was inferior to some OF that
which floats to our ears from the

merely that the songs of certain Of
the birds involve more intervals and
greater variety, but that they are of q
