SUPERIOR RURAL ROAD WORK
SUGGESTIONS to Communities for the
Construction and Maintenance OF
Country Highways.

That full value may be received for
the money appropriated for road pur-
poses and that the best results OBJ
tainable may be secured it is essential
that the right man shall be placed In
charge of road work. He should be
selected not only because he actually
knows more about good roads than
any other person in the community,
but also because he can get the best
results from the money furnished. 1t
is not sufficient, however, to let the
matter rest with the appointment OF
a road overseer. He should receive
the whole-hearted support of the COM
munity in the work. 1t should be seen
to that under the conditions and with
the money furnished the community
is getting what 1t has right to ex-
pect in the way of road improvement
II is well to remember that If for any
reason an incompetent man is placed
in charge of the work the RESPONSE
bility for failure rests upon the COM
munity. There should be no other
consideration, therefore, in selecting
road overseer than that of securing a
man with the ability to perform the
duties required It should be realized
that good roads have much to do with
the prosperity Of community and
that united action in the right direc-
ton is the surest and quickest way to
secure them.
Where the road overseer has had
but little experience in road work, or
where some new and difficult problem
is presented to the experienced man,

engineering of the U. S. department

Mysterious Love, uncertain treasure
Hast thou more of pain than pleasure?
Endless torments dwell about thee.
Yet who would live, and live without
thee?
The merry-hearted woman, who is
full of fun, of rollicking disposition,
outspoken in manner, has no secrets
which everyone may not know. She
can be trusted as those who know her
have every faith in her. She is Meth
er serious, nor cautious, but means
what she says out and out. Even
her adoring man companions are quick
to admit that her blithe way is harm
less-and it is part of her nature to
smile cheerily. Her way is conta-
gious. Unlike these girls who are as
merry sunbeams, is the self-important,
conscious young woman, of her pow
ers of attraction over hearts-the
male ones, especially. She seems to
magnetic every man with whom she
comes in contact. In short, her smile
Is studied, effective one, which she
has learned by experience to WELD
with great power in her behalf. She
has studied a charming manner, a
cute, innocent-appearing expression,
which seems to amuse the men. Even
her attitude is inclined to be daring
in style, from the tilt of her hat to
the wee beauty patch on her cheek,
her high-heeled French slippers and
imposing form. High spirited young
men flock to her side. eager to escort
her to the best places which she en-
joys. AS he must have expected, she
