foot roadway constructed with 12 feet of brick for the center roadway and nine feet on each side of chert or other road materials; the brick portion 10 be curbed on each side with six inches of concrete binding to hold the brick in place. This roadway could be con- structed of macadam or some of the
 other good road materials, but the ex- perience of a thousand years proves conclusiyely that brick or paving stones make roadways that last for centuries with minimum of cost for upke eping. Someone has suggested put ing the paved roadway on one side, but this would make 1t difficult to keep properly graduated water she'd ding over the whole surface. In other words, the brick center roadway will act as, a. comb on slightly convex surface, just as on low lying roof. This class of road is by the very nat ural order of things more expensive than the cherted road or the macadam.
 If the state highway commission, however, shall proceed to secure and survey a well placed system of high ways as a beginning, although the work may not be as substantial and lasting as may be desired, yet nothing will be lost in the ultimate accomplish ment of the work.

How English Beauties
 Peel Their Faces
(From socletv Worldl


 While abroad recently I could not help observing that the average Eng lishwomans complexion is far more beautiful than that of the average woman of our country" says Mrs. Scott, secretary of the National Health-Culture society. Making in- quiries, several intimate friends in Lon con confided to me that they regu- i1arly used on their faces what is com tmercially known as mercolized wax l do not know whether the habit is general there, but l do know that this wax has wonderful rejuvenating prop critics, for I've tried it myself
 If you will get an ounce of this mercolized wax at your drug store and apply it like cold cream, you will soon behold in your glowing cheeks their. first resemblance to the remark able transparent beauty of the Eng lishwoman's complexion This wax gradually peels off the lifeless scarf skin in tiny, almost imperceptible flakes, revealing the fresh new skin underneath, pinky white with the bloom of youth and health"

Washington. October 9.-(Speeial)-lt was the close of a day of toll in the early spring season when old winter yet Jagged The scene was the cabin of a pioneer settler of the Kentucky Pennyrile. All day he had swung the axe in the clearing striving to turn forest into field that he might exact of the soil food for wife and children. He now sat at his humble meal of coarsest fare, and with his helpmeet and the children, two boys, Bill and Dick, the former the elder and the stronger were in the chimney corner each provided with a generous pone Of cornbread which he was intent on mak- ing more palatable by combining with it the contents of the skillet. They had been thus engaged for little while when Dick, the weaker boy, Nam, make Bill let me have some of the deep sop!"
 Then and there that poor woman was confronted with the problem that has pestered every just statesman since gov ernment was first established among men how to make Dick equal with Bill. In a government like ours each citizen has rights and upon each are imposed duties and since the primal curse man has been prone to sfirk his duties and swift to aug ment his rights. And there in that cabin was the inevitable episode of remon- strance against wrong. Dick was George Washington, Bill was George Guelph Bill was the oppressor, regardless of the rights of Dick. and lhere were the condl- tions that make rebellions and revolu- tions.
 Tn one of the fairest cities of the love- Hest province of France is column on which is carved these lines:
 When every man receives his own
 And justice reigns for strong and weak, Perfect shall be this town of stone,
 And all the dumb will learn to speak.
 There the earth had drunk to the gorge the blood of a thousand battles shed in wars growing out of the eternal problem of adjusting the skillet so that the side next Dick should contain as deep sop as that on the side next Bill. The skillet has never been exactly rightly adjusted in any cline under the sun. perfectly level skillet has been the dream of poets and the despair of sages, and it will never be until the war between right and wrong, which began with the murder of Abel by Cain, has been fought to a finish and civilization shall triumph in the total

Velva.-Feeling that it has demon
strated the fact that it is quite able to
care for the summer normal school for
the northwestern counties of North
Dakota, Velva will make a bid for the
next annual summer school. a decision
to that effect having already been
made by the Velva business men back
of the project. The question of loca-
tion is determined by the county SUI
perintendents of the various counties
interested, and the Velva application
will be laid before them when they
hold their annual meeting.

seven years without interruption,

however, must be recognized as a
strong competitor for the school,. es.

doubtless will be a tendency towards
giving the summer session to the

What a wealth! Here were hun

would realize out of his crop, now

what his anticipations were two
months ago. One man said to ME:
"The profits Of that field of wheat will
give me sufficient money to purchase
800 acres Of land. for which the rail-
way company is asking $6,4O0, and
pay 1t in cash." Another, with q field

Farther north, land was selling at

was learned afterward that the soil
was similar to that in the south, the
price of which today is $50 an acre.
