But they weren't worrying him most.

whole story of one too many joy rides

His wife-he knew her too well.
Even while he pictured the scene
in the divorce court she came in, stiff
and cold and threatening, the telltale
paper clutched in trembling hand.
"Well?" she demanded accusingly
Then came his inspiration.
Iucretia" he whispered, reaching
toward her, in spite of the pain his
movements gave him. "I-I thought
the automobile was a jitney bus, and
before l discovered any difference, il
whizzed away with me, and"
She interrupted him with a wild
cry.

have done anything so absurd"
Manlike, he forgave her.-Judge.

Worst of the Transaction.

There is more than one way of max

A Jewish street vender of spectacles
was offering his wares when half a
dozen saucy fellows stepped up.
Keep still; we'll have some fun
with him." said the spokesman of the
party.
"shpectacles! Good vons," called
the vender.
DOT vos goot," said the young man.
"Now, what can you see through these
glasses, Mr.. Moses?"
Anything yot you like" was the
reply.
"Ish dot so? Well, we'll see about
that" He took a pair of spectacles,
put them on, and looked straight at
the dealer. Nonsense, Mr.. Moses!"
he exclaimed. What have you been
telling us? Nothing whatever can be
seen through these glasses but black
guards whereupon his companions
laughed.
"Vot? Ish dot so?" exclaimed the
vender, as If in alarm. He took the
glasses, put them on hastily, and
looked at the party. "My goodness!
he exclaimed, "dot ish So" The party
moved on, but this time they were not
laughing.

poor guy down at the exchange today
He lost five thousand on cotton and
all the boys were guying him, and as
he started off home they tainted him
with the prediction that his wife
would land on him roughly. The poor
chap acted as though he felt pretty
bad about it.

Poor fellow! No doubt he used his
best judgment, and If his wife turns
on him because Of his reverses she
is not worthy to be called wife. But

ment of Agriculture,)
Most of the surplus butter from the
farm COW in the South is exchanged
for groceries at the country store. On
account Of poor quality, unattractiye
packages, and irregular. supply, the
prices received for this butter are very
low. Bulletins explaining how the
housewife can make good butter and
how to put it into attractive packages
may be obtained without cost by APP
plying to the department of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c.
Purchasers Of butter like to buy
from persons who can furnish it the
year round. Usually the market for
farm butter is oYersupplied during the
summer season. This is because COWS
generally freshen in the spring and
thus furnish a greater supply of butter
throughout the summer, when grass
and green feed are abundant, than at
any other time of the year. For this
reason the price Of butter is lowest in
summer, and highest in winter. To
take advantage of these conditions
farmers should have their COWS fresh
en- in the fall; this would tend tc
eQualize the supply of butter through
out the year
In many cases no great effort is
made to find a good market for the
farm butter. Too often nearby gro
Gerry stores are regarded as the onl!
market possibility. Boarding houses
women's clubs, hotels and restau
rants, and private families, not onl!
in the home towns but in surrounding
towns, should be canyassed and sam
pie of the butter exhibited. In thi!
way good market for farm butte,
may be secured if the butter Is o
good quality and can be supplied reg
ularly.
The frequency of delivery will de
pend upon the demand Of the trade

FOUNDATION FOR GOOD ROAD
First Thing Road Builder Should
Strive For Is to Have Ground
work Good and Solid.

(By f. W. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College)
The good roads movement in Colo
RADIO seems now to have acquired full
swing and the next ten years will see
most of our important roads surfaced
with gravel. 1t is important that this
gravel be placed upon a good founda-
ton or it will be mixed with the clay
and lost.
Some time ago an important road
was being surfaced and those in
charge were blowing up the old road,
which was very hard, the Jumps were
being broken as much as possible,
then the road was given a light roll
ing, wet thoroughly and the gravel
then spread and rolled. When asked
why they were putting the gravel on
the soft mud foundation, the reply
came. 80 that it will knit we'll with
the clay" This is exactly what should
be guarded against as much as posi-
Bile and is the very thing road builders
should seek to avoid.
Let us remember that gravel will
knit or mix with the clay below in
spite Of all We can do, but the harder
the clay foundation surface is and the
firmer it is compacted, the longer viii
the gravel stay on top and give a
smooth wearing surface and the long
er the road will last.
All authorities are agreed on this
point, and the first thing that a road
builder should strive for is to have his
earth foundation solid and hard anc
the drainage so fixed that it will re
main so.

of the largest number of farmers is
the creamery. This furnishes con-
slant demand for cream, whether in
large or small quantities. There are
three ways of getting cream to the
creamery or shipping point:
/. Each farmer may haul his own
cream.
g. Farmers in a community may
take turns in hauling their cream.
8. A man may be employed to haul
all the cream regularly and each farm
er may pay for this service according
to the amount Of cream he sells.
The third method is on the same
principle as the rural free delivery of
mail matter Under this system the
hauler at regular intervals comes to
the farmers door, gets the cream, and
takes it to the creamery or shipping
point. The cream is weighed, sam,
pied, and poured into carrying can
in the wagon. The samples and rec
ords of weights are sent to the cream
cry. Routes may be established close
to the creamery, and the cream deliy'
cred direct, or they may be estab'
lished at distant points and the cream
delivered to central station for ship
ping to the creamery. Subroutes may
radiate from points on the main route
and thus cream can be collected from
wide area.
In communities in which interest in
selling cream is just being aroused
and where there is not cream enough
! produced to pay for having it collected
each day, the cream can be kept from
day to day and collected twice week
in winter and three times in summer
Where this is practiced the farmers
must use ice to keep the cream as cold
as possible, or place the cans in spring
or well water Unless extra care Is
taken to produce the cream in the
most clearly manner, and unless it If

Guilty is now being overcome. 1t is
possible to secure bottles from Amer
