proftsd Much Thereby.

Once upon . time there was an Inn
keeper, who. strange to say. was un-
able to make both ends meet Moth
ing that he tried was any use; he
even placed In tho windows a notice
to the effect that his house was "un.
der entirely new management" but
that, too, was in vain. So in despair
he consulted a wise woman.
1T is quite simple" she said a.
she pocketed her fee. You must
change the name"
But it has been The Golden Lion
for centuries" he replied.
You must change the name" she
said. You must call 1t The Eight
Bells!" and you must have q row Of
seven bells In sight"
"Seven?" he said; but that's ab-
surd. What will that do7"
"Go home and see." said tho wise
woman.
So he went home and did a. she
told him
And straightway every wayfarer
who was passing paused to count the
bells, and then hurried into the inn to
point out the mistake, each apparently
believing himself to be the only one
who had noticed It, and all wishing to
refresh themselves for their trouble:
carts and carriages drew up; motor
lists stopped their chaufeurs and,
with the usual enormous difficulty. got
them to go back; and the joke found
its way into the guide-books.
The result was that the innkeeper
grew az fat as most of his class, lost
his health and made his fortune.

Until recently the milk of goats was
not thought much of in this country
and WAS used almost wholly by per-
sons who were born in other lands and
had learned it's value in their former
homes across the ocean. Now Soats
milk is highly priced for use by in
valids and babies and because of its
scarcity costs very much more than
the milk of cows.
The picture of the girl feeding the
kid. however. was not taken in hls
country. The girl and the kid live OIL
the Surrey downs, neal Guilford. Eng
land. on what Is said to be the only
goat farm in that country. As the
picture tells. little Miss Sheppee. for
that is her name. helps about the farm.
Why she feeds the kid from a bottle
is hard to tell. Perhaps the mother
goat is dead and the young one has no
other means Of getting a living. Any
how, that is what she was doing when
the camera nan happened along.

Hioh Cost Of Poor Roads.

The cost Of bad roads fl strikingly
set forth by William c.. Redfield, secre-
tal.y Of commerce in President Wilson'S
cabinet. in this manner:
The ~ineficiency arising from bad
roads makes 1t cost something like
$500. 100000 d year to cart u cotton
crop from the fields to the railway sta
lions. l think few people realize the
immense tax put on us all by bad roads
and inefficient handling.
I have said that II our farmers once
realized the awful tax that bad roads
impose upon them public opinion would
sternly demand the making and main
tanning Of good roads everywhere. It
now costs the farmer twelve-yes.
twenty Or more-times 40 much per ton
mile to move his goods to- the railway
station Z It does to move them on the
railway after they leave the station:

at certain seasons may have to pay as
much 40 81 a ton mile, while the rail-
road carries the freight when It once
gets It atsan averages f three-quarters

HEAVY TRAFFIC WEARS DOWN SOUTHERN
ROADS
actual legal control of the work is still
vested in the county commissioners.
For instance, in the great majority OF
counties in Texas the regular annual
income is less than $4,000, and the
whole matter Of road improvement In
each county rests with the county
Judge and four commissioners, who
constitute the county commissioners
court. If a bond issue for road i'm
provement is authorized by the voters
of a county or a district an engineer is
employed to plan and supervise the
construction of the roads. Payment for
such engineering service is made
either as a percentage fee based on the
cost of the work or by. u stipulated
salary.
The general improvement of the
country is pushing the road question
to the front. Counties In large num-
bers are issuing bonds for good roads
every month. 1t is very important
that the taxpayers get a dollars worth
of road for each dollar expended.
Roads must be built 20 well that they
will give service and at the same
time not be %prohfbitive In cost In,
many sections the engineer is at 6nce
confronted with the fact that he must
build a road Of material that would
be quickly rejected under the standard
specifications. 1t therefore becomes
necessary to so adapt his materials
aud so regulate the character of work
manship and the consequent cost of
the road that its serviceableness will
be commensurate with its cost.
Much progress has already been
made toward adapting local material
to road construction. but much more
remains to be done. There is oppor-
tunity for every engineering college to
render valuable service to it's state
by Il study Of these problems. There
is still greater opportunity for every
practicing highway engineer to thus
aid in the development of his country
and thereby put his own future success
beyond all serions question.
