The Edue Of Njoht,

There are only twenty-fOur hours to
the day-to the day and the night. And
how few are left to that quiet time be-
tween the light and the dark! Ours is
hurried twilight. We quit work to
sleep; we wake up to work again. We
measure the day by the clock; we
measure the night by an alarm clock.
Life Is all licked OF We are murdered
by the second. What we need is q day
and a night with wider margins, q
dawn that comes more slowly and q
longer lingering twilight. Life has too
little selvage: it is too often raw and
raveled. Room and quiet and verge
are what We want. not more dials for
time nor more figures for the dials.
We have things enough. too-more
than enough. 1t is space for the things.
perspective and the right measure for
the things that we lack-a measure not
one foot short Of the distance between
us and the stars.
II We get anything out of the fields
worth while It will be this measure.
this largepess and quiet. 1t may be
only an owl or tree toad that We go
forth to see. but how much more we
find in things we cannot hear by day
things long. long forgotten. things we
never thought or dreamed before.
The day is none too short. the night
none too long. but all too narrow Is the
edge between.-Dallas Lore Sharp in
Atlantic.

supervisors in the United States. ac
cording to Director Logan w. Page Of
the public roads division Of the de-
partment of agriculture. who says:
San Diego county has a lot Of
wealthy residents. Most OF them own
automobiles, and there was lot Of
kicking about the rough roads. Among
the kickers were Al G. Spalding, VIII"
made his millions manufacturing base
balls; Claus Spreckels. Jr.. whose IA

would choke a railway tunnel. and f.
NJ. Scripps, who owns newspapers all
over the central west. The road com
missicners grew tired of the growls
and appointed a board of roadway su-
pervisors composed of the three gen.
tlemen l have mentioned. The NAL
contents agreed to serve without pay
Today they are spending $1.25O.OOO In
the county It doesn't make any diff
ference to them what it costs to build
road. If the county hasn't the mon-
ey they donate it. Mr.. Spalding built
nine miles Of as fine road as have
ever driven over and Mr.. Spreckels

HELPING RURAL CARRIER.

may shorten his work or serve more
patrons.
Much road building is neglected till
late fall because the farmers think
that this is the only season in which
they have time for such work. Very
often this work is wasted because It
has not time to acquire perllanence.
There are, however, number of road
repairs which may be done to very
great advantage at this time The ruts
may be filled. the bridges rc-enforce,i.

Wherever there is any rubbish that
would cause snOwdrifts for the car

mail boxes should be so placed that
unnecessary straining or reaching Is
avoided.
The mail carrier can always tell you

CARE OF R0ADSIDES.

Remove All Rubbish and Preserve
Trees to Make Highways Attractive.
No matter how smooth and well
constructed the Travelled road may be,
If the roadsides are not cared for the
highway as whole will not give a
good impression. All rubbish should
be removed. the excavations should be
filled and embankments smoothed and
planted with grass wherever it will
grow. Unsightly brush should be cut
and grubbed out. Sometimes, however.
the brush and small trees if suitably
trimmed add to the attractiveness Of
the roadside.
All trees which are ornamental or
which have value as shade trees
should be preserved and protected un.
less they grow so close together as to
make dense shade. In hot. dry eli.
mates particularly and indeed in most
places trees are a considerable factor
in reducing the cost Of maintenance
since they lessen the evaporation Of
the moisture from the macadam. In
exposed places, where the sweep Of
the wind would be otherwise unbro-
ken, they serve to prevent III meas
ure the blowing away of the binder
from the road surface. Unfortunately
in such places it is often difficult to
make trees grow. Care In the selection
of the kinds of trees best suited to the
locality is important.
A good arrangement along roadsides
for trees with large tops is to set them
about fifty feet apart on each side. but
alternating. so that there will be Il tree
every twenty-five feet along the road.
