Good Substitute For Macadan

One example Of the road bureaus
work will show its usefulness. Roads
for the state of sticky gumbo soil have
been almost a hopeless problem. There
is a whole belt of such states along the
south, and there is another belt along
the Missouri where wheels sink hub
deep and horses founder to death in
mire more treacherous than quicksand
The road bureau discovered from
many practical tests that by burning
gumbo soil roadbed compact as mac
adam could be obtained at half the
cost of macadam or at practically only
the cost of labor and of fuel to do the
burning. There is no longer any ex-
cuse for lethargy in road building
through the guubo states.

New York farmers do not raise yege-

market such a perishable product in

Dear Household:


May 1 step in and chat little while this
beautiful afternoon? II has been over year
since / have had the pleasure Of being with
you but / haven't missed any Of the letters and
enjoyed all Of them. What beautiful Easter
Sunday this has been. the flowers are blooming
and all of nature putting on her lovely garments
OF green. 1 often think of the first Easter and
how the loved ones felt when they went to the
grave and found IL empty and how much better
they must have felt when they found out that
Christ had risen. A certain mystery and an in
evitable sorrow viii always be associated with
the grave. We will never be contented TO
give up our loved ones and the pain OF a tempo
rary separation always causes sorrow but faith
In the fact Of Christ's resurrection should bring
comfort that nothing else can. hope that
our loved ones graves are empty in a true sense,
as He conquered death. so have they and so
shall we. There is a light shining above the
darkness OF every grave.
I think IT Is well for us to stop and think
awhile OF the life we are now living. Are we
living life and serving Master we
should? For death is certain, about this one
thing there is no doubt.
Myrtle Harris. I hope your health Is much
better Come again and let us know how you
are.
