What's the Use?

What is the use of a good road on
either side of a bog through which the
farmer can not hope to pull half load
in the best of weather and no load at
ali in bad weather? What is the use
of a good road leading to bridge,
shakv and dangerous? This county
could we'll afford to spend million dol
lars in road building, and yet not be ex-
travagant or spend cent more than is
needed; but this county cannot afford
to waste fifty thousand dollars doing
patchwork. If the hit and miss patch
work system is to continue, it were
better to peg along in the same OLD
r,,ts and now and then walk mile OF
two and pay farmer to pull you out. =

It is gratifying to the many friends
of Grenada College, in Grenada as well

note that the boarding department IS
filler thin ever before in its history at
this time. There are are quite num-

A brakeman on top of one of the cars

Tucumcari, n. NJ. Sept 6-Bids are
asked by the superintendent of the
government and state experiment sta
ton near here on five new buildings
to be erected at once on the experiment
farm by the government The five
buildings will consist of a residence for
the superintendent, residence for the
foreman, a mess house, a seed and tool
house and an office. The five Will cost
about $4,000, it is estimated All of
the buildings will be of the latest pat
tern FOR their several purposes, as
found by experience of government ex-
perts in the work, and will bt built
substantially as it is intended making
this an important and permanent sta
ton for agricultural research work.
In order to insure permanency and
aid from the national government, it
was found necessary to obtain other
land for the farm and a committee of
local business men have obtained a
half section of land one mile and a
half northeast of the present site of
the farm, and about five miles east of
Tucumcari. Business men of this city
have guaranteed the purchase price Of
$4,000. and it is said the contract for
the land will be closed as soon as a
few minor things have been attended
to. Much of the crop which was raised
this year on the farm has been stored
in a silo which was recently erected.

Dear Miss Fairfax am is years
old and have been very dear friends
with a young man a year older than
myself since we were mere children
We have never quarreled, and every
thing points to the same conditions in
the future. 1t is very probable, at this
rate, that we may some day marry,
but it would not be for many years.
Now, do you think it is right for US to
go on in this way French.
You are confusing friendship with
love, and are drifting into an engage
ment simply because you have always
got along well together Such a
marriage may result happily. but you
miss much of the sweetness of love.
Find out if you really care for him
in the right way. If you don't, end
this monopoly of your time before the
implied engagement keeps a real lover
away.

years my senior. whom I met last sum-
mer. This young man has told me he
loves me, but at times he is very in
different, and could see me oftener
if he tried to. He knows 1 love him
dearly, and often I think if I could
treat him coOlly he would think more
of me. but he is very independent and
I'm afraid that if 1 did I would lose
him altogether
There are several other young men
who are very DESTROYS OF my company.
Distressed One.
You are right If you were more in
different he would be more anxious
You need not be afraid such a course
would result in losing him. Lovers are
not lost that way. They are lost when
a girl mOpes and signs and lets him
plainly see that her heart is on its
knees to him.
