not tasseled yet, and is of course
safe. Some of the early tasseled
corn was of course damaged, but
as the agricultural colleges claim
only half the tassels in a corn
field are necessary, perhaps the
early corn is not hurt as badly as
has been believed.
Stock ponds have water in
them, and the creeks were filled
nicely. Even the bitches along
the roads and in the fields are
full of water, and in fact it looks
like old times sure enough.
Pastures are greatly bene-
flied, and the grass is going to
make a wonderfully good growth.
Where hay has been cut the
second crop will grow very fast,
and even where the first crop has
not yet been cut the grass will
make a new start.
Forage crops, such as COW peas,
soy beans, cane and kaffir corn
will more than hump now, and
the cows will give more and bet
ter milk.
If you don't give thanks for
the rain there is something wrong
with you.

No doubt a lot of fellows
thought this part of the country
had been forsaken, but they were
mistaken. Last Sunday there
was a good inch of rain fell in
this country directly adjacent to
this city, while out west a few
miles the fall was fully two
inches. And the rain fell all
the way to Neosho river, as we
can testify, for the News gang
was out in it. Out on Tar creek
the water got high enough to
make the creek run more than it
has in eighteen months.
But that is not all. Monday
morning about two o'clock rain
began falling again, and for
about seven hours it came down
like old times. The two rains
made at least four inches, and
the ground got a good soaking.

Last Saturday night and Sum
day with our old friend, Bob Fra
zier, on Neosho river, and the
way we filled up on fish was a
caution. Mr.. Frazier used to live
in Columbus, where he was city
marshal, but he bought a piece
of land out on the Neosho, and is
doing a lot of intense farming.
He has one of the finest fields of
corn we ever saw, and it is all in
roasting ear. His house fronts
on the river, and he has a nice
place to live. He thinks he will
never be troubled any more with
food water, for the reason that
a ditch has been dug to make a
cut off of the river, and when the
water gets a certain heighth It
goes into the cutoff. Several of
these cutoffs have been made
along the river bottom, and in a
few years the course of the river
will be changed very materially.
Neosho river is full of fish and
Bob Frazier and his family are
fine hosts.

should be noted that this public roads ofice-a
branch of the United States department OF agricut
ture-is doing most important work for the cause
of road Improvement throughout the length and
breadth of the land For one thing, laboratories are
maintained at Washington, specially equipped to
ascertain which of these best adapted to
use in any specified locality under any given con
dtions. Even important is the work OF the
government bureau in building stretches of model
road"
Under this plan of building model roads to serve
as object lessons in the possibilities and benefits
of highway improvements Uncle Sam sends his
force of engineers and experts into any community
which seems to need to be aroused regarding good
roads and with their own helpers. or by means OF
they construct mile or two miles of just the sort
of road that is ideal for that particular district
How beneficial these object lessons are is proven
by the fact that thousands of miles of good roads
have been built in various parts of the country this
past few years with these governmental sample
roads" as patterns. The showing made by rural
roads before and after" treatment by the govern
ment road doctors has prompted state legislatures
county commissioners, local boards of trade, farm
ers' oranges and other bodies to appropriate money
for a more extensive good roads campaign in To-
calities that have thus had taste of the benefits
and in some states, notably Delaware wealthy
men have paid out of their pockets for long
stretches of improved public roads for the of
the whole community
The Glenwood post., 1911-08-26

The average old-time farmer prone to look
upon bad roads necessary evil He realized
in sense what detriment they to his in
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did not any way out of the dilemma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give. Then along came the United States gov
ernment, when rural free delivery mmenced to
be introduced. and declared that these rural mail
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition. This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation. for
every rural home prizes the boon of daily mail
delivery. And at about the same time the farm
ers, who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question, found, aA they
looked closer. that bad roads meant a hole in the
pocketbook of every tiller Of the soil. 1t began
to be realized that if a farmer required the serv
ices of four horses and an entire days time to
get load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him was Just serious though he had
to accept very low price for the yield of his
Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer in behalf of better roads,
One of the best things accomplished for the
farmer by good roads is that 1t has broadened
his markets. With rocky or muddy highways en-
forcing slow progress the average farmer was in
the old days restricted to one market town-the
one nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
can in a shorter interval than was formerly re-
quired reach any one OF several communities To-
Gated in different directions This enables him
to attain the market where he can get the best
prices Similarly with good roads the farmer is
not likely to be restricted to one railroad for
shipping facilities. II the road nearest his farm
will not give him the cars he needs or otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside to a rival line
And the very fact that the Introduction of good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
to render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients.
The countrywide Highway Improvement
association which is to hold rs first annual con.
gress in the future will not seek to drive out
or supplant the various good-roads associations

LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere in Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found lntimatIon Of Any
Other Idea.

We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature of the Saviour
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his Inferno" with the shadows
of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely questicn when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lord 8
pathway; there is no hint of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
die Of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead Of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion, why did he endow US
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense Of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit fun and
the absurd side OF life; and, further
more. why did he produce SO many
things and people to laugh att
