Here and There.

The reason why men who mind
their own business succeed is because
they have SO little competition. .
The man who trims his sails to
suit every breeze, may be pretty ac-
tive. but doesn't get anywhere.
It is the unexpected that happens,
because the expected gets there with
out happening.
The man who knows just what to
do can usually find someone to do
it for him. !.

RoadIess America in Transformation.
From the maledictions scattered
broadcast in the mire of roadless

fifteen years ago hopes of better
things have taken root. So writes
c. F. Carter, in the Technical World
Magazine. No gift Of prophecy is
now required to foresee time when
these hopes will have so far material
lied that team, if it is good one,
will be able to haul an empty wagon
over the gumbo roads of the Missis-
sippi Valley in the spring, and the
public highways of the South will be
so we'll huoyed that light draft auto
mobiles may navigate them in com-
parative safety.
From every part Of the country
comes the same encouraging news.
Sixteen States now have highway
commissions that are trying in var
ious ways to supply the greatest need
of the Nation, which is good roads.
At one extreme is New York, which
in 1905 voted to expend S50,0GO,000
in building roads. Under the plan
adopted the State will build and
maintain 1882 miles connecting the
principal cities, and pay one-half the
cost of 400 miles o; local rcsls to be
built by the counties. as
At the other extreme is Iowa, the
third State in the Union in extent Of
road mileage, whers the use Of the
public highways is SO vast that If
teams enough could be. assembled to
do in one day all the travelling done
in the State in a year the, line would

For Better Roads.

Many Americans who live in or
hear large cities would be surprised
to hear it stated that the United
States has the poorest roads of any
civilized country in the world. Never
theless, the statement is declared by
all who have had opportunity to learn
by experience TO be unquestionably
true, when the roads Of the whole
country are considered. Lately there
has been much criticism of the auto
mobile as being destructive of good
roads. The damage is SO great that
in France the Government has been
forced to take up the matter, and is
even now studying preventive plans.
In the United States, however, it may
be that the automobile will yet prove
a powerful influence in better roads.
The American Automobile Associa-
tion has recently held a two days.
good roads convention in Buffalo, at
which provision was made for practi-
cal demonstrations of the best meth
DDS Of road building and repairing.
and for experiments looking toward
the discovery of binding material
for surfacing roads which will not be
sucked out by the pneumatic tires.
There are signs, too, says Youths
Companion, that the old policy of
throwing upon the towns the burden
of building the roads and keeping
them in repair is to be superseded by
the more sensible plan of having the
State do it. The towns will, Of
course, care for their own streets, but
the main highways should be built
and cared for by the State, as they
are in France, Germany and Switzer-
land. The National Government has
decided to send the director of the
Department Of Roads to the interna-
tional good roads convention, which
will open in France in October, and
at which the problem Of the automo-
bile and the roads will receive es'
pecial attention.

A Provident Plant.

There is a plant found i'll the
Mexican desert of Sonora which is
stated to surpass the camel in its
ability to husband its supply of
moisture. This is known as the
quarequi, a relative of the pumpkin,
and it inhabits a locality in which
practically all the rain falls within
a period of six weeks. The base of
the stem of the plant is formed by
a hard, woody structure, which is
really nothing more than a vegeta-
bic reservoir designed to hoard up
the scanty moisture received with
the greed of a miser, exercising all
a miser's thrift in doing out the
precious fluid to its own advantage
in time of need.
