ltion without blowing all the frost
ing off the coffee cake. OF course,
we men talked about the COWS and
hogs, while the women talked about
those new Central America chick
ems you read about last week. One
side of the table sounded like
French Revolution of Pekin Ducks,
land the other side like a sand
storm in Russia. The hog and cat
tie talk was loud enough to affect
| the ears of George Washington,
hanging on the wall, but the echo
of the chicken talk, as itdodged the
coffee cups on our side put us back
| in the shade of the smoke house
Ben's wife, who was the wisest in
the bunch, by far shot, said that
she won't believe in those chick
ems until she has some of their
| feathers in pillow cushion. She
claims that for the last forty years
(she's only 39) she has waited for
a change in breakfast making and
has given up altogether, with no
hope left. At this moment, Lena,
who has all the confidence in the
world in me, brought down her lit
tie fist and declared Ben's wife will
have to take back all she said some
day. Ben's wife heard this above
all the duck prattle that was going
on then and winked at Ben with
her left eye, but Ben couldn't see
through the chunk Of coffee cake
in front of his face, so Bill, who
was sitting aside of Ben, thought
that the wink was meant for him
and he turned plum red. The fact
that Bill was just facing the stable
window made reelection on it that
looked like burning hay, and it did
MT take two seconds ere the men
folks were heading for the barn
sixty miles an hour. Strange thing,
was though that as soon as Bills
face turned away from the window
the light was gone, and before we
realized what happened we real
lied what didn't happen. But at
any rate it drove away the argu-
ment between Ben's wife and Lena.
j have advised the editor not to
send Ben and Bill this weeks pa
per; or they might call me a liar

There was more coffee cake clean
ed up at the Audubon County Far
mer's home last Sunday than in any
other wear since 1858 when his
grandmother celebrated wash day
with a fiddle concert. We had a
time last Sunday, and l can see the
tail end of it yet. All our neighbors
came over to wag their tongues at
the table and sitting room stove,
and the six hours were crowded so
full of ideas that you couldn't shove
a broom-stick between. l tried it
seven times, so I'm speaking from
experience. Our guests didn't get
on to my game, for they thought |
was merely chasing the cat from
under the table, when in reality l
was killing two woodpeckers with
one brick
But that isn't what want to
drive at. It's the ideas themselves
-the undressed facts-that made
our brains vibrate. l was insulted
ten times during the performance,

it always takes a head longer to
grow than it does an onion. Things
that grow fast are composed large
ly of sap, SO thank goodness mine
is growing slow-no sap heads for
me.
But the ideas-that's what we
want to talk about. These ideas of
my neighbors were about the new
tangled hogs, cows and chickens.
Ben, the next brainiest man in the
county to me, said that when he
gets his pen of Canada hogs he will
use all eight legs of the hogs at one
time. In the first place he will
make them walk ON the ceiling day
and night and use lower feet for
another purpose. He intends to tie
a white handkerchief to each foot
and let the hogs wave at his friends
as they pass along the road to
Hamlin. This, he says, will save
him the trouble of showing person
ally how polite he cam be, and the
hogs have to earn their living any

and see if head No. wasn't about

Difference Between Hauling
on Good and Poor HIGHWAYS

one ton; on a sand road, 100 to 200
pounds pull to move the same load.
We might conclude that the limits
are 30 to $50 pounds for the best to
the poorest surface. This one horse,
say of 1,5O0 pounds weight, could draw
a load of five tons on a smooth as
phalt pavement and only 1900 pounds
on the soft sand road. These figures
are only approximately correct, since
they are average values, but sufficient
ly close to give us some idea of the
relative value of good and poor road
surfaces.
Before any district or state can fully
realize the value of good roads, spe-
cial action on it's part must be neces-
sary. This action must embrace three
things: A non-political organization,
whose purpose Is to provide good
roads; a practical and economical con-
struction and maintenance.
There should be one or more good
business men on the board of con-
troll lawyer of some years expert
ence should be member, and there
should be represented on the board Of
control an engineer who knows his
business. The engineer should also
be chief engineer of the construction
with as many assistants as necessary
to carry on the work of road building
Some states of our commonwealth
have made the state engineer the chic
engineer of road commission, whose
personnel is composed of business
men, lawyers and engineers, who re
ceive no salary and are appointed b.
the governor of the state for def
mite period Of time.

OLD AGE Deferred

Echo From the Medco-LegaI Society.
A few generations back a man at
80 was considered old, gray-bearded,
and waiting for death. Note the
change today; at a meeting of the
Medico-Legal Society it was stated
that man of so ought to have forty
good years ahead of him and, thus
at ninety be in the fulness of matur-
ity.
What if you have seen sixty, or even
seventy irthday-temperate habits,
fresh air and exercise, with a simple
diet and a sufficient amount of sleep
will guard your health.
If perchance, your circulation is
poor, if you become run down-weak
and no appetite-nothing in the world
will tone up those tired backsliding
organs-enrich the blood and create
strength so quickly as our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic Vinol.
We ask every feeble, discouraged old
person in this vicinity to try Vinol on
our agreement to return their money
if it fails to give satisfaction.

A busy growing nation such as ours
certainly requires internal improve
ments to keep pace with our prosper
ity. Our prosperity is measured by
industrial activities, and such activi-
ties are scattered in all parts of our
great commonwealth.
There are several essentials to pro-
mote this growth, and one of the chief
ones is that of good roads or high
ways.
Investigations have shown that the
average horse can exert at walking
pace traction pull of about one-eighth
to one-tenth his weight. Assuming
this to be about the correct value,
what effect will the kind of road have
upon the load the horse is able to
pull?
On an asphalt pavement it requires
thirty to seventy pounds pull to move

THE KENYON BILL.

The Journals contention regarding
the Kenyon bill is that it seeks merely
to give to each and every community
that which such community has shown
either by ballot directly on the ques-
ton or by legislation through repre-
sentative form of government what it
desires. If 9 state or county votes dry,
it ought to be aided in everv conceiv-
able manner by other states and the
federal government in the enforcement
Of it's laws. If a county, sta5e or a
collection of states vote dry they are
entitled to be dry.-Montgomery Jour
nal.
This has reference to the Kenyon
bill now pending in Congress, which
proposed ito prohibit interstate COM
merce in intoxicating liquors in certain
cases." The certain cases" are when
the shipments are to be made into ter
ritory where the sale of liquor is pro-
hibited by state law.
