a Subtle Difference,

Mrs. Blank, wife of prominent min.
lister near Boston, had in her employ q
recently engaged colored cook as black
as the proverbial ace of spades. One
day Mrs. Blank said to her:
Matilda, l wish that you would have
oat meal quite often for breakfast. MY
husband is very fond of it. He is
Scotch, and you know that the Scotch
eat a great deal Of oatmeal"
"Oh, he's Scotch. is he?" said Ma.
tilda. well, now, do you know, | was

clai Prosperity.
me best evidence of g high type
~ educated and refined civilization
Is tne building and maintenance of
hrsL-ciass public roadways This is
more Tully evidenced by the incessant
ana continuous demand of the whole
American nation for Improvement in
our public roadways. Good roads mean
Det1er schools, more churches and an
increased social relationship in the va
Tious rural neighborhoods. The loss
oy farmers in the continual wear and
tear On horsepower, breakage of We
hlcIes and loss of time in travelling
on bad roads amounts in the aggre-
gate to a fabulous sum each year.
With the exception of taxation for
educational purposes there is no cause
In the interest Of our rural population
TO which the taxes Of the people could
be directed to greater benefit than the
equipment and maintenance of first
class public roadways.
The Federal Government could not
expend part of the public funds to
better advantage than granting large
annual appropriations to be distribut-
ca among the various States to aid in
public road Improvement We have
never been able to understand why
the National Government could an
nually appropriate millions of the pub
lie money to the maintenance of the
public waterways and harbors and in
the construction Of magnificent public
buildings in centers of commerce and
do practically nothing toward the i'm.
provements of the public highways Of
the country. We believe that the Ma
tional Government should each year
appropriate an equal amount of money
for the Improvement of our public
highways that is expended on water
ways, harbors and public buildings. If
this amount was prorated among the
different States on the basis of public
road mileage, not population, and each
State would then raise a special reve-
nue. equal to the appropriation of the
Federal Government, we would soon
be able to make rapid Roadway in
road improvement. With the general
introduction of fine macadam road
ways, farmers could introduce the use
of motor vehicles and reduce the cost
of marketing their products to a mini
mum.
We have taken the position before,
and adhere to It now, that the best
returns on money invested by the
State or nation is appropriations made
in the interest of farmers and the
Of our vast agricultural
resources. There should be a good
roads club in every community and
county to cooperate with State and
National organizations. A steady,
active campaign should be taken in
the interest of this work all over the
country, and especially in the South.
Let us have good roads first, last and
all the time.-The Cotton Journal.

What Women can Do for the Schools

"ndL WOfHCN can OO TOT the 0CHOOiSS
One of the very best means for i'm
proving the school-house and grounds
is to be found in the Woman's Better
fnent Association This is an organi-
cation of patriotic women for the pur-
pose of aiding and improving public
school-houses and grounds. In addi-
ton to the State organization, there
are county organizations and town
ships and district organizations. Such
in any school district with the assist
ance of the county superintendent and
the officers Of the State and county
organizations, or even without such
assistance. Through the efforts of
few public-spirited women in any COM
munity, the women of that community
could be organized into an association
to cooperate with the county and
State organizations for the purpose of
improving their school-house and
grounds. BY beautifying the interiors
of the school-rooms, painting the
houses, having stumps, brush and I'm.
derg1owth removed from the grounds,
planting trees, vines, and flowers, ETC.,
wonderful transformations have been
wrought, through the efforts of few
earnest women in many rural school
houses and grounds during the past
two years.-Hon. J. Y. Joyner.

He Had Broken somethlnn.

Mrs. Wilson had young Japanese
servant who had a habit of trying
to conceal from his mistress any
breakage of dishes of which he
CHANGED to be guilty. The good lady
explained that it was wicked to de-

tell her whenever he broke anything.
The boy promised to do as she ad.
vised. One day, while Mrs. Wilson
was entertaining some friends in the
parlor, the Japanese suddenly ap-
peared in the doorway. His teeth
were barred in a childlike smile, and
his eyes sparkled with the light of con-
