RoApwAvs AND WATERWAYS
Good Roads Advocate Should Get Nor
Money

II It Is sensible for the federal gov
ernment to issue bonds to improve
water transportation facilities then it
is equally sensible to do so for the Inn
provement Of highways.
The millions expended on waterways
may be Of advantage to some Of the
people. but few dollars for highway
improvement will benefit all the people
Why is 1t that congress and public
men generally did not long ago see
that the Improvement Of transportation
between city and farm, the producer
and the market. the farm and the rail-
road, the farm and the harbor or the
river warf Is Of as much Importance
as the deepening Of harbors and rivers
II bonds are issued by the govern
ment then half Of the proceeds should
go to the construction of roads, and a
large percerfaee of the moneys Law
ished on rivers and harbors should be
diverted to good roads.
Good roads advocates in congress
should organize at once and get at
least as much money for roads as goes
to waterways.-Jessie Taylor in Good
Roads.

An effort to obtain q lower freight
rate on hay between Idaho and Kan

present rate OF approximately 50 ton
does not leave a sufficient profit to

Perhaps the holding of the tennis
championship matches at lordly New
port has been one reason for the myah
that it is an aristOcratic game.
Actually there is scarcely any other
game so easily within reach Of the
average young person. The thousand
dollar court you read about in the ma
gaines, or even the one hundred dol
lars which well built clay court is
supposed to cost is not necessary.
A little group of players in almost
any residence section can usually find
some back yard or vacant lot, where
court can be arranged with slight
expense.
The great trouble is that our mod
ern young people will accept nothing
poorer than the best. Yet many find
tennis players have developed their
game on courts that did not cost IS
a year. These courts were simply
pieces of grass land that were rolled
and moved regularly by the players
themselves.
AS such courts are played on, the
grass wears down in spots. leaving lit
tie hummocks and tufts Of grass. But
a fellow can learn to play fair game
on an Imperfect court e,5.-'ts
The pursuit Of crooked bounces givel
him an exceptional agility. When he
finally gets his chance to play on q
good dirt court where every bounce
can be depended on, he will be aston
ished by th way he can cover the
court.

neighbor or those Of Broadway. The
smooth face gives an impression Of
youth and sincerity; the bearded face
suggests dignity and stability. Let
every man choose what fits him.
The great trouble with. the beard.

that there will be more disposition

There is no reason why the man

London chappie is tired Of shaving.
In early. youth one watches with

its preservation ought to depend Who'll,
on whether it looks well or not.
Many young men are fated by ma.
ture to possess a moustache that
droops downward or inward. Permitted
to grow, it makes your features look
as II they were toeing in. It gives q
discouraged, despondent, dropping air.
No matten how creased by the bar.

can permanently be made consistent

many young men Of 81 wear such
