Senator jackson Has Road Bill.

Senator Jackson, of Maryland, offered
in the Senate bill providing for the CON
structlon of good roads by plan which
is as novel as it is commendabe. His
bill appropriates $40 100000 to be ex-
pended annually, but the expenditure Of
money is based entirely on the PROPOSE
ton that the States must themselves FIRST
build the road and then the government
will pay one-hali the cost Of its consuuc-
ton after it has been approved by the
postmaster general as road helpful to
commerce and by the secretary of agri-
culture as a road constructed along the
latest ideas of scientific road building.

Perhaps you have heard the legend of
Saint Valentine, but if YOU have not,
here it is in as small a nutshell as such
a saint could be well condensed: Saint
Valentine lived long ago. An emperor
ruled him, and the emperor whose name
was Claudlus, became very Jealous of
Saint Valentine, or Friar Valentine. as
he was then called. And one dav
Claudius cut Friar Valentines head off
and banished his remains, so that no.
body should know that he had been be-
headed
Nov why did Claudius do this?" YOU
ask. Well, he did this because Frar
Valentine was such great favorite with
the Young people that Claudius was not
in their affection at all.
