Two little girls

Went out 10 church one day;
Like little toys
They blinked at boys.
And 80 forgot to pray.
When asked the text,

And answered back. 'SkiGos."

With angels wings,
What better could they do?

''The excepted places that have an adj

order that they may accommodate the

there is no further grace after the witch

HIGHWAY REPORT.
Continued from Page Eighth

1906 was $4,000 or a State tax of
$.060l3-less than one-fourth Of New
Han1Siiire's. about one-fourtil of Ner-
nont's for the last ii years and about
one-eighth of Vermont since their
new law passed in November.
If We were doing as much for State
highways as New Hampshire is, we
should have State appropriation of at
least $215,000 based on our probable
new valuations: if we are to do as much
Tor state highways as Vermont will DO
next year we should have an appro-
priation Of approximately 100000 or a
tax Of l mill on each dollar of valua-
ton OF the State. Il.
The remaining sections of the bill,
from section fifteen to the end, I'M
pose upon the State commissioner of
highways i'll connection with his cuty
of supervising the state road work all
the duties now imposed upon the office,
including the holding of annual county
road meetings.
The idea has been to have enacted a
State highway law combining the good
features of our present State road law.
the law under which the commission
er Of highways is working, and such
additions and supplements to the two
laws as would give to the State a COM
5Ictc and up-to-datc law which might

volumes of acts.
