THE STAGE DOORKEEPER

The stage doorkeeper turned out the
electric lights, as the evening was
warm, and gave evidence that he would
rather sit in the half light, probably
taking into consideration that the shin
ing tin pail that stood by the leg OF
his chair would not be so conspicuous;
Say. kid" he said, after carefully
wiping his mustache, did you see Dy-
nano do his little stunt last night!
There's a great trick, for fair. Say.

a terrible time sewing yourself up to

wondering if the children are all

You make yourself convenience to

you wonder that he treats you like

MEANS MUCH BETTER COUNTRY LIFE
Government Expert Tells Why This Is True of Good
Roads 100000 a Day for Road Work.

wards the improvement of roads
throughout the country will change
this condition. Improved roads will
give to the country districts the i'm
proVements enjoyed by fashionable
suburbs, and will improve drainage
and wipe out isolation. In most To-
calities life on farms invariably be-
comes, as a result of bottomless
roads, isolated and debarred of So
cial enjoyment and pleasures, and
country people in some communities
suffer such disadvantages that ambi-
ton is checked, energy weakened
and industry paralyzed. Under such
conditions it is but natural that per-
sons engaged in farming, especially
the younger folks, should seek the
life and gaiety of the cities. There
they feel they will find recreation,
variety, youth, beauty and music.
The difference between good and
bad roads is often equivalent to the
difference between profit and loss.
Money wisely expended for this pur-
pose is sure to return ten-fold; and
now the states are expanding in the
aggregate 100000 a day for road
improvement and conditions in the
country are likely to be so improved
that the trend toward the city will be
stopped and the ove6ow in the cities
will return to the country"
