The president Of the Bald Head Club of America should lose no time in communicating with King George and inviting him to become a member of his organization, as Great Britain's ruler is becoming very bald.
 But perhaps kings and kinglets. princes and princelings and the like are not admitted to that royal company of good fellows-the American Bald Heads. If that be true, then are the ''furriners" being barred out of lot good things.
 We'll, be that as 1t may, but we ven- ture one best bet, that the president of the Bald Head Club of America wouldn' t hesitate to send an invitation to member ship to King George or anyone else he might think looked like he might be a good fellow, had the necessary bald spot on his pate and therefore was fully eligible to the association.

Letters From the People
GraveIing Roads in Mid Winter.
tna Editor of. The Naws:

10 6ne Etltor or rue NeWS:
 Did you ever see roads graveled in winter time in deep snow, and below zero weather? Sometimes it has been 25 degrees below. That is just what the progressive people of Lake county, Minn., have been doing the past few weeks. had never seen roads graveled in thls manner before, aud I thought this might be a new wrinkle in road building. First the men scrape the snow to the sides of the road. then the teams come with big sleigh loads of gravel from the pit and drop It wherever re- quired, and it is graded and spread into place; then the snow is shoveled back over the road. There are seven teams hauling by this place; they haul three miles or more, bringing three yards of gravel to load. The reason they do this in the winter time is berause it is difficult to get teams in the summer, when the farmers are busy with their crops. Of course, there is a county over seer of highways, that is on hand to see that this work is properly carried out. and they can haul more than in Spring in mud and at less expense; and l thought this might interest some of your road builders.
