WHERE THE OLD DANCES

7OLD SWAY
When mention is made Of dancing,
one thinks of tangos and fox trots
and fandangos of up-to-date society.
and one steps, and all the friIls
Any newspaper man will tell you,
though, that there still exists wide
world Of this diversion not affected
by the fashion plates OF the dane
ing masters.
For many organizations, the n
nual dance is a historic function of
the winter season, reaching back
for a generation or two. The word
ball" which is rather the favorite
term for these events, may suggest
stately halls and elaborate decora-
tons. But it is quite likely to be
applied to the annual breakdown OF
the Cross Roads Engine Company
or the Homric shindy in a back
street hall of the BIacksmiths Ben
eft Society.
QuadrilIes and country dances are
CONSPICUOUS, and few of the more ad-
Venturous try the old fashioned
waltz. Of.course. the young folks back
from college have their one steps
and canters. These are successful
and enjoyable, provided the natives
are sufficiently dazIed and shocked
by the variety and extravaganza of
the evolutions.
The dancers are sober, hard work
ing persons. Ordinarily they go to
bed at nine o'clock But the annual
ball comes but once year, and two,
three, and four a. m. may sound the
fatefuI passage of time, before so
glorious occasion can be terminated.
There are yawns the next day, but
the memories of those fleeing hours
are worth the price.
One sees very jolly sport at these
unconventional functions. There are
famed dancers from miles around.
Naturally light and graceful on their
feet, they improvise steps better than
the average teacher of dancing. With
innate sense of rhythm, and feeling
for the humor of motion, their pig
con wings are a moving picture to be
remembered.

FRENCH REMEDY
AIDS STOMACH
SUFFERERS

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles. The
French Lave for generations used a
simple mixture of vegetable oils
that relieves stomach and intestinal
ailments and keeps the bowels free
from foul, poisonous matter. The
stomach is left to perform it's func-
tons normally. Indigestion and gas
tritis vanish.
Mr.. Geo. H. Mayr, d leading drug
gis+ of Chicago, cured himself with
this remedy in a short time. The
demand is so great tha the, imports
these oils from France and compound
them under the name of Mayr's Won
derful Remedy. People everywhere
write and testify of the marvellous re
lief they have received using this
.remedy-one dose viii rid the body
OF poisonous accretiOns that have
accumulated for years and convince
the most chronic sufferer OF stom-
ach, liver OF intestinal troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is sold
by leading druggists everywhere
with the positive understanding that
your money will be refunded without
question or quible if ONE bottle
fails to give you absolute satisfac-
ton.

STATE AID FOR ROADS

Nearly every one Of the state
legislatures is considering this win
ter demands for more help for road
building. Ten years ago all of the
states put up but $2,OOO,OOO for road
building, exclusive Of local funds.
In 1914 they spent $43,0OO,OOO. But
as four fifths OF this was done by
six eastern states and two Pacific
coast states the problem is far from
solved nationally.
Many of our big problems always
come back to the cost of living qles-
lions. Food has gone up in price and
one reason why it is that it costs
so much to haul it over bad roads to
market. a..

whether all this machinery is neces-
sary?
Gov. Glynn Of New York in re
cent address before convention OF
cooperative societies, remarked that
the farmer gets only 35 cents on
every dollar that the consumer pays
Tor his product. Several farmers
present said the governor had nut
the farmers share too high. Who
gets the rest?
At this meeting one farmer told Of
making a personal investigation in
New York City, TO see what the
consumer was paying for his food
products. He went in at one time
when potatoes were very scarce and
the farmer was getting $1.35 a bush
el. The consumer was paying $3.50
to $500. He looked the matter up a
second time when potatoes were
very plenty, and the farmer was
getting only Is cents a bushel. He
was not able to find that the con
sumner was paying appreciably less.

mobile tuppers. But they furnish
but little help to the man who
wants TO haul his potatoes or his
corn to the railroad station. Also
il takes so long to secure the approp-
riations to build them, that the

out by the time the whole system is

pie, is not boulevards for pleasure

The state of Missouri has recent

LONG RANGE TELEPHONING

The rate Of $21.O0 for three min
utes talk over the new telephone line
from Boston to San Francisco, will
be prohibitive for ordinary converse
ton Yet it will be used more for
business than most people realize.
The growing use of the telephone
over distances of a thousand miles
or more is feature of modern lite.
1t is so much more satisfactory than
letters. The most essential point Of
your letter may be passed over al
most unnoticed by a correspondent.
It is remarkable how many good
business men fail to express them
selves definitely when it comes to
putting it in black and white. They
leave out some essential point, and
the correspondent has to begin all
over again.
To many people who do not have
larger business interests, a CONVEX
sation over a hundred miles seems
a rather clustering experience. Quite
frequently they ask some one to
talk for them, though their hear
ing may be perfectly good. Their or
binary faculties are bewiIdered by
the wonder of a scientific marvel
that is the merest commonplace to
the business man.
Long distance telephoning depends
on complete perfection of connection.
Patrons may submit to the struggle
to make their voices heard above a
buzing on a thort distance connec-
ton, repeating and spelling out
words over and over again to guard
against mistake. But at $500 per
minute, there can not be a single
link of noisy line.
1t is quite n art to use costly
telephone conversations with a min
imum of expense. A great deal can
be said in three minutes. The points
Of the conversation, and the ques-
ton to be asked, should be written
out as carefully as if you were de-
iyering an address. And every
time you say er-er-er, as you jolt
along in ordinary talk costs high.
