Aunt Melissa Spigott was such an
exceedingly Energetic talker that the
youngsters of the family used to sup
pose that her tongue must be copper

Silas, on the other hand, was as eco
nomical of words as a marketman is

The too free exercising of this I'M
ruly member of Aunt Melissa's on
one occasion. gave Uncle Silas serious
offense, which he manifested by a
severe silence lasting for several days.
At the end of that period one OF the
older daughters approached her
mother upon the subject with the re-
mark, Ma, seems like you ought to

REQUIRES considerable engineering
perience the farmer does not and is
not expected to have. 1t is no reflec-
tion upon him to say he is not sue
cessful road builder-any more than
it would be to question his ability in
carpentry. To have the best supervi-
sion the township or road district is
too small unit. The mileage is too
limited to make it practical to have an
experienced road builder in charge.
Hence the present thought is that the
county should be the road district, or
perhaps there might be two districts
in large counties. The road super
visor should be capable, experienced
engineer employed by the year, or the
season. Let him get the necessary
tools, men and teams and do the work
when it ought to be done. When grad
ing is necessary, the earlier in the
