Progress on Most of
State Roads Very Slow

The progress during the early part
Of the present season on most State
highway contracts was very slow on
account Of the extremely bad weather
conditions. One factor which has re-

scarcity Of labor. and as one contrac-
tor expressed it on a recent visit to the
office OF the State highway commission.

NOT LIKE NEW EXPERIENCE
Butcher Had Suffered Before From
=, the Franks INDUCED in by His
Frisky Horse.

The eccentricities of Yankee char
acter are innumerable, and they are
almost always amusing. In Maine
town a gentleman was standing with
some friends on his tennis lawn when
the horse of the village butcher--a
rather frisky animal-came daShing
madly over terrace from the street,
fiinging the unfortunate butcher into
the tennis net with a shoulder of beef
on top of him, and big block Of ice
thumped with good deal of force into
his side.
The fiery steed completed his work
by dragging the wagon to which he
was attached over his PROSTATE mas
ter and then flying away to demolish
II and the lawn turf together by
careening along until stopped by a
tree. The butcher was taken up in
sensible and pretty badly bruised. AS
soon as he could be restored to con-
seriousness one of the bystanders pro-
nounced the usual conundrum whether
he was hurt.
The butcher tried to move, found
he could not, gave sickly smile, and
then said. iauntily:
"Oh, it's nothing! l don't mind. I'm
used to It,"

CertQin-teed
Roofing

takes its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process so
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalss used by "The General"
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
4 roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
mentor possible Improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAlN-TEED i. such tia,
it is guaranteed for S, 10 or IS years, according
to thickness q, 2or 3 Ply. Experience proves
that it lasts longer Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility OF the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roohnes and building papers.
