To English Author We Owe the Famil-
lar Type Of YuIstide story.

To the genius of Charles Dickens
was due the familiar type Of Christ
mas story. The pioneer of all Christ
mas numbers was "a Christmas
Carol" Thackeray called that tale of
Old Scrooge and Tiny Tim national
benefit" More than that, "a Christ
mas Carol was an international bene-
fit, carrying its burden of happiness
across the Atlantic and disseminating
its cheerfulness in every community I'm
the United States. Millions Of readers
have smiled through their tears in the
seventy-three years that the world has
been the richer and better for having
"a Christmas Carol"
Dickens wrote the story at the end
Of 1S43 to relieve himself of the finan-
cial embarrassments produced by his
rather lavish housekeeping. He was
disappointed in the necuniary returns.
He received less than $4,000 from the
sale in its original edition. This is at
tributed to the tery expensive form In
which 1t was published. Four other
Christmas books which followed, be-
ginning with 1.-THE Chimes" were
much more profitable. Then In later
years the. Christmas numbers of
Household Words. to which the
christmas Stories were contributed,
sometimes reached sale of 100000
copies.
In the end Dickens had little reason
to complain Of the rewards of his ef
forts in opening up the rich vein Of
Christmas fiction. He was acknowl-
edged the supreme master in that
field. Thackeray published Christmas
books. but wisely refrained from at
tempting anything similar to "A
Christmas Carol" or 1.-THE Chimes"
In their own way. however. "Rebecca
and Rowena." an unapproached mas
terpiece of literary burlesque, and
"The Rose and the Ring" a delightful
story for children. which retains its
charm for their elders. are no less
matchless than the two principal
Christmas books by Dickens.

be of more benefit to the state? Sew
eral counties in making application
for federal aid have indicated tina
they thought 25 per cent federal aii
and 75 per cent county, township
and benefit district funds would bs
about right. One county has stated
that if it could get 25 per cent federal
aid the county could and would pro.
vide the other rs per cent of the cost
to build road anywhere it was need
ed in the county.
"Since approximately $2,150,00O
will be available for Kansas from the
federal government in the next five
years, If the federal aid be fixed at 80
per cent, the counties providing an
equal amount total of about $4,-
100000 would be available for this
period. If the federal aid were fixed
at 25 per cent, the counties provid-
ing rs per cent, there would then be
available total of $500, 900 in this
five year period and twice as many
miles of substantial roads could be
built as under the former plan.
1.-THE highways of the state may be
classified according to their relative
importance as interstate or national,
state. county, and local roads. II has
been suggested that the highways to
be improved with federal aid should
be the principal roads of the state;
that is, interstate roads having the
greatest public utility.
From published statements of the
secretary of agriculture, 1t is clearly
evident that twill be considered un-
practical by the department of agri-
culture, and not in harmony with the
spirit Of the act to distribute a part
Of this small appropriation to every
county in the state, for no county
would then receive a sufficient
amount to accomplish anything, and
the administrative expenses for con-
and maintenance would be
out Of proportion to the amount of
work done. State Agricultural

HANDLING GOVERNMENT ROAD
MONEY

How the $143,207.40 now avail
able through the federal aid road act
for road improvement in Kansas will
be spent is a question being asked by
many persons. 1t is discussed by W.
s. Gearhart, state highway engineer.
"The federal road appropriation
will be increased approximately
$143,2O7 each year for five years"
said Mr.. Gearhardt. I'm this period
$2,15O,O0O in round numbers will be
forthcoming from the government for
road purposes in Kansas.
1.-THE money now available may be
used any time prior to July l, 1918.
In other words, the state has two
years in which to spend each annual
appropriation. II the money is not
all spent within this time 1t reverts
to the federal government to be reap
portioned among the other states.
1.-THE federal government cannot
pay to exceed so per cent Of the ex-
pense of improving any road. The
remainder must be provided from
state or county funds. Since the con-
stitution of Kansas prohibits the ap-
preparation of state funds for high
way work it will be necessary for the
counties to provide at least so per
cent of the money II Kansas is to
take advantage Of this federal aid.
The counties can meet the require
ments of the act either by means of
the county road fund or by the
Hodges benefit district law enacted
in 1911.
ut is intended that the federal aid
road act shall accomplish three
things. 1t will stimulate interest in
substantial road improvement. Bet
ter methods of road construction and
maintenance will be practiced. 1t is
intended to encourage the adoption
of an adequate system Of highway
management in each state.
1.-THE accomplishment of these OBJ
jects will. be affected materially by
the number of miles of road built in
the state, and the amount of highway
Improvement that can be made de-
ponds largely upon the funds avail
able. This brings up the problem
then as to what percentage of the
cost of the improvement should be
paid by the federal government.
us so per cent federal aid neces-
sary to accomplish these objects, or
will less percentage of aid, and

of either is expected. Whenever we
have nice weather during the entire

there is generally more or less sick
