Pencil and Notebook.

There is a satisfaction and very
certain educational value as well in be-
ing able to record ones Impressions by
rough notes and sketches and to show
others ones ideas in the same manner.
Every boy, even though he possesses
no talent whatever for drawing, may
learn to roughly sketch an outline If he
properly develops a simple sense Of
proportions. The noting Of interesting
facts, read over often more than once
later, fixes them in the memory and is
good practice in expression If one tries
constantly to set forth these notes
clearly and correctly. Try 1t.

The Daisy.

Did you ever hear the story Of the
daisy which looks like q starr Once
upon q time there was little star up
In the sky that belonged In no group Of
stars at all, but just had to wander
around by itself all the time. Every
evening 1t watched the evening star
tow the new moon over the edge OF the
dark and envied 1t. It heard much
talk among the other stars, some Of
them Of less magnitude envying those
Of greater magnitude, and the little
lone star thought to itself that no one
saw It even to envy It. Down on the
earth It looked so much easier to get
into a group and have companions, so
one day when the earth was swinging
over from dark to daylight the little
star did not try to preserve its equilib
rum, but just dropped down, down.

that 1t fell deep down into the earth.

up from the earth, changed through
the influence Of the soil, and there
stood beautiful star flower, and new

TRAYS FOR EVERY USE.
A Variety of These Useful Articles FoT
Every Household.

EISNoCh0Ids
One of the most interesting details of
the modern china closet is the tray
Trays for mullins, for sweets and serv-
ices for tea and after dinner coffee are
as popular as the breakfast tray.
Whether or not the present status of
breakfast as a movable feast is the re-
suit of the hectic existence mankind
leads today it is hard to say.
If this meal is to be served in bed a
delightful individual tray would be ono
with folding legs. Such a tray natu-
rally contains only service for one. A
variety of designs, however, may be
found in this style of tray with indi-
vidual sets of china suited to every
purse.
For the member of the family who
wishes only cup Of black coffee or tea
with dash Of cream perhaps a small
tray containing three pieces Of silver to
which is added the cup is convenient
service.
The after dinner coffee set has its
own tray and is easily carried into the
drawing room or library. At the coun-
try house, where all sorts of impromp-
tn meals are served in the garden, the
pantry must be supplied with trays of
every description-blacko or white paint
ed ones to accord with old furniture
and quaint cottons, glass covered chintz
ones set in wicker; even perfectly plain
white enameled trays may be used.
The housekeeper's soul will delight in
the variety and beauty of this practical
adjunct to housekeeping, and her only
difficulty will be in selecting.

good roads were paying proposition.
but today state county and township
authorities find themselves unable to
secure sufficient funds to meet the de-
mand Of the people for road improve

1t is my purpose to later give con-
sideration to the questions uppermost

Ohios road problems, but 1 feel that
many will be interested at this time
to know the growth Of good roads SEN

Eleven years ago when the State

tions, the State couldn't give its
money away. The people considered
the whole idea of State Highway

ed it played on him. The Highway
Commissioner had no appropriation
for office rent or furniture and he was
given ten thousand dollars to distrib-
ute over the entire state, so that l am
not greatly surprised at the popular
attitude toward the Department.
Subsequently the appropriation

the State has confined its aid to i'm

cate of the State for the purpose of |
improving the inter county highways 7,
and main market roads. This levy |
gave the State something over three
and quarter million dollars to eXpend
in cooperation with the counties, but
the counties still failed to take proper
advantage of their opportunities, and
Il few of the more alert counties were
able to secure very substantial sums
for the improvement of the main mar
ket roads in their respective counties,
while the remaining counties We're still
passive.
Occurrences of this nature seldom
happen more than once and while the
five-tenths of a mill levy for roads
was reduced to three-tenths of mill
by special session of the Legislature
in the summer of 1914, nevertheless
the county commissioners have been
o charged by the people with the duty
of securing all the State aid possible,
and so enthusiastic are they in the
discharge of this duty, that they come
very) near to getting more State money
from me than l have at my disposal.
The reduction of two-tenths Of mill
in the road levy has reduced our in
come for road expenditures over mil
| lion dollars, but so eager have the
counties been to secure State funds in
the improvement of their roads, State
supervision in the construction of
them and State maintenance after
they have been constructed. that they
! are now meeting the States dollar
with much more than one dollar of
the county's money. In fact, one
county last year met $6OOO.OO of the
States money with $12O,O0O.OO of the
County's money in order that they
might have State supervision of the
construction and subsequent State
maintenance.
So firm has been the faith of the
counties in the State Highway Depart
ment this year. and so generously
have they co-operated with the De-

there are active construction opera
