EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

On dear, 1 do hate to have to say
Haven't you something less expensive?' i"
heard young girl complain the other
Gay L do hope the time will come when
shall have some money. so that I can
go into a shop and order what I want
and not even ask the price
Let me tell you, little girl. and all vour
sisters who have felt the same way, when
the time comes that you have some
money" as you put it, it is very likely
that you will be just as much interested
IN prices and not so much afraid to show
your interest, as you are now.
man of means.
Do you know. am constantly more
impressed with the fact that it appears
economical, only the people who don't
need to count the pennies who are willing
to be seen counting them.
A day or two after Christmas the time
when bargains are supposed to grow on
every tree, even more than the bargains
l found, was the number Of richly dressed,
bargain hunting.
You would certainly have thought, from
the way these women were dressed, that
they Were OF the class who might go into
any shop at any season of the year and
order anything they wanted without even
inquiring the price. And vet there they
were, standing three deep around the
counter, waiting their turn for a share of
the clerks attention, and even enduring
the OlScOnIOrtS OF shopping
a stormy morning. in order to take advan-
tage of the bargains.
The other day neigtlbor of mine, who
has very comfortable income set off
on a journey across the continent. And
how do you suppose he started on that
journey? He walked down to the station
beside the gardener who pushed a wheel
barrow loaded with his masters trunk.
Now IL wager that none of his less
prosperous neighbors would have dared
to do that They would have thought it
absolutely necessary at least to have the
trunk taken down by expressman,
and probably to have hired a cab.
So 1t goes Those who need to look long
at the pennies before they spend them
don't even dare to be careful of the dimes
And those who apparently can afford to
be careless of their dollars aren't afraid
to be seen counting their pennies
Perhaps" someone reminds me, per
haps it's because these people didn't stop
counting their pennies the moment pros
perity threw a glance their way, that she
continues to abide with them, instead of
merely making them the fleeing visit she
pays the most Of u.s.
Well. there Is something in that, my
friend.

NARROW ROAD IN Favor

NARROW ROAD IN FAVOR
Inc narrow way in life IS the one that
leads to the greatest happiness and the
narrow road in Kansas may be adopted
as a path to greater prosperity. The
state highway engineer. w. S. Gearhart
Is advocating the lessening the width OF
the highways IN this state. claiming the
plan would result in saving of money and
better highways
With land to be had for the asking or
the state, no great demand has gone up
for the use of part of the public highway
for cultivation The average farmer did
well If he could care for the soil on the
inside of his fence and II he needed more
he could buy up a forty or an eighty from
a neighbcr. At $50 or $50 an acre, the strip
of land that might be saved by cutting
a ten foot strip from either side OF the
road was not a great object; but land
prices are advancing and the same strip
sidering, especially 50 since advanced
methods of agriculture have made it pos
sible for men to pay such prices for land
and grow crops that pay big dividends on
such investments.
Important in the plan for narrowing
the highways is the consideration of the
amount Of work that Will be put on them
to keep them in condition. Naturally less
labor win be required to keep road OF
40 feet in as good condition as one Of 90
feet and the same amount Of work APP
piled to the narrower roadbed will main
tain it in "A condition that would empha-
size the wisdom of the plan.
Narrowing the highways Is one OF the
new ideas that deserves attention Con-
servation of tillable land and improve
tors in increasing the efficiency of Kan
sas as an agricultural state, and greater
efficiency means greater prosperity.-Sa-
