AT THE END OF THE GOOD ROAD

To see what really happens at the
end of the good road. public road
specialist of the department recently
had observations made in different
sections of the country. The observ-
ers noted many country-bound team
sters who drove two loaded wagons,
hitched one behind the other. to the
end of the good road, and then found
it necessary to leave one wagon by
the roadside to be returned for later,
while all the power of their teams
was devoted to hauling single wag-
on over the unimproved road.
Farmers bound for the market fire.
quently were seen to haul wood and
similar products to the beginning of
the good road, there dumping them,
and then returning for second load.
When this arrived, the two loads
were consolidated and easily hauled
by single team the remaining dis
lance to market over the improved
highway.
In one section of the country where
oxen are still used transfers were OBJ
served to bring their loads over the
dirt roads with two or three yokes of
oxen. When the beginning of the
good roads was reached, the team
sters would unhitch the extra ami
mails and finish their journey with a
single yoke.-United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

DOWNTOWN"

There is a region of mystery into
which the metropolitan husband and
father vanishes between 1880 and
S:45 a. m. six days in the week and
from which he energies in the late
afternoon. He Is welcomed, after the
manner of all returning warriors,
with tender solicitude. Downtown
is the trackless jungle into which
father plunges to stalk the family's
living. After ten thousand years Of
civilization it is still the same.
Anxious eyes follow him from the
wigwam till he turns the corner to
the railroad station, and fond eyes
greet him as he staggers out Of the
elevator door with his prey, so to
speak. on his shoulder. Wives will
never be recOnciled to downtown. 1t
swallows up the man of the house
when he would much rather stay at
home and play with the children-so
he pretends-and 1t sends him home
at night too tired to be agreeable-as
he asserts. Thus the little game goes
on. The primitive hunter, imagine
made believe that he hated to leave
the family and go off into the dark
forest; and on his return he threw
| himself before the fire, too tired tC
speak. Actually, believe, the prim'
tive hunter, as soon as he was Out
of sight Of home, broke into a cheer
full whistle. Strunsky In
