MECHANIC
SHOWS ADVANCEMENT

The superfluous mechanic was the topic
OF an extensive article by j. p. Holland,
printed recently In a well known En-
glish publication. To illustrate his point
the writer related an incident that hap
pened to w. r, Peare. a Cadillac dealer
In Ireland, which not only proves that
mechanics are not generally needed but
that In some instances one need not
bother about tho contents OF a tool box
Mr.. Peare was giving a demonstration.
At the close Of the run the prospective
purchaser expressed his delight with the
car, its electric self starter, lighting and
ignition system, and the other features
that characterize H. But fearing that,
being a green driver, something might
go wrong while he was at the wheel, he
asked TO see the tool box and to have the
contents explained TO him.
Mr.. Peare was quite willing to oblige
and showed the prospect where the tool
box was located on the footboard where
II would be easily accessible when oc-
casiOn arose. But 10 his CONSERVATION
he discovered that he had lost the key.
Search as he might he could not find
any key TO fit the lock
Il have been driving this car for near
ly year already" he explained. "and
this, is the first time have had oc-
cssion to discover that the tool box is
even locked.

like the apple best OF all the fruit
and It Is very heathful for people. The
tree on which the apple grows is very
pretty and the leaves also. The blossoms
come before the apples and the color OF
the blossoms are pink and white, After
the wind blows the blossoms off they
are turned into little green apples,
The apple hangs on a branch by a stem
and on the other end Is the blossom end.
All summer the apple gets bigger and
softer and ripper because the warm rain
and the warm sun help them TO do that
Some apples are all yellow and some
are all red.
The skin of an apple Is as smooth as
satin Under the skin is the flesh that Is
very solid and hard. In the middle OF
the apple is a little core. In the middle
Of the core there are about four or five
seeds that you can plant The apple

plant the seeds and they will mako other

A Pioneer Road.

BY Rose Schiller, Aged 12 Years, 9O1t
Webster Street, Omaha Blue Side.
Fifty years ago the first shovelfUll of
soil was dug for the Union Pacific
railway.
It was the first thing that was built
so large in the United States. The gov
eminent gave the company that was 60
ing to build the railway large sections
Of land and loaned them great deal
OF money to help them with 1t.
After they got the things to build II
with, there were many hard things to
do first. They had to cross high noun
tains and very rocky it was. Then there
was the iron that had to be sent for
from the eastern states. They didn't
have enough men to build the railway
because at that time there was a great
civil war going on and they needed all
the men. The Indians didn't like the
white people to build a railway on theiI
hunting grounds so they put a stop tc
1t until the Pawnee Indians came to
guard 1t. In the night the Sioux Indians
burned the houses. killed the People,
stole the horses and did many other cruel
deeds The first sixty miles were fin
ished on March 49, 1866.
In June, 1857 they had finished the road
to the western end of Nebraska and on
May 10. 1869, the Central Pacific and
OF the Great Salt Lake, where they drove
a golden spike to connect the two rails.

ing whether she should get up or not.

But Jane heard him not.

exclaimed, II guess I'll Just take his ad-

So Jane got up, dressed and went out
doors. and not until then did she realize
how beautiful Nature was at this hour.
The dew sparkled on the grass at her
feet like myriad OF diamonds, and she
fancied that where 1t fell on the spiders
webs It was a beautiful cloak left behind
by some fairy at ball.
The roses held up their faces as II say
ing. Good morning." while cool breezes
kissed her cheeks and hair, and, robins
busy feeding their young twittered and
chirped in the plumy, waving branches
of the trees.
Next morning, Mr.. Bluejay found lots

and after that he didn't need to remind
Jane that 1t was time to be up.

AUTOS AID GOOD ROADS MOVE
Motor Car Industry Has Brought
Into Being a New Science.
MAKES INDIVIDUAL PROBLEMS
Government should Provide an Ex-
pert who Has Studied and Be-
cOme Familiar with the
Conditions.

The good roads movement, in reality
an outgrowth OF the automobile industry
mas brought into being a new science"
said Fred w. Warner, general sales man
ager Of the Oakland Motor Car company.
say an outgrowth OF the automobile
Industry advisedly. for we're II not for
the rapid development Of motor cars. the
good roads movement would never have
obtained the impetus It has received.
The building OF good roads is truly q
science worthy OF a distinguishing title
and the builder of good roads is as much
an engineer as the designer OF a motor
car.
For every mile OF road constructed
there are individual problems to be
solved, People have passed the stage OF
waiting for state appropriation and com
munities are building their own roads
But with this willingness on the part of
individuals and communities, they have
right to demand that they be assisted
by either state or national appropriation,
for the benefits that accrue from good
roads are not centered locally.
And right here is where the science Of
road building comes in. The services OF
a specialist are required to advise where
brick or concrete road will best serve
the purpose-the cost OF maintaining a
gravel road governed by local conditions.
or the depreciation of asphalt-whether
conditions will merit a heavy appropria-
ton. etc.
Here are problems which must be con-
sidered from an impartial business mans
view point-problems which call for the
judgment of a specialist. The least
that the authorities can do Is to provide
government expert-ons who has made
a study of the subject and is thoroughly
conversant with conditions. Experts are
provided for the guidance OF farmers.
great sums are spent on forestry. but
government interest in good roads is
practically nil.
The good roads movement has had a
long, uphill fight, first in overcoming
farmer prejudices, then in obtaining CO.
operation, and any man who is connected
with automobile business should be suf-
flcientiy far sighted 70 forsee future
benefits and TO boost all he can"
