MOST POTENT OF WEAPONS
Nothing Devised by Humanity Is Able
to Stand Against the Assault
OF Laughter.

In "The Mysterious Strnnger'-the
just-published posthumous book by
Mark Twain-that authority on humor
declared that most men possess only
"a mongrel perception Of humor."
He Celebrates his idea by saying
'The multitude see the comic side of a
thousand low-grade and trivial things
broad incongruities mainly; gro
tesquerles, %absurdities, evokers Of the
horse laugh. The 10000 h%igh-grade
comicalities which exist in the world
are sealed from their full vision.
"Will a day come when the race will
detect the funnlness of these juvenili-
ties and laugh at them-and by laugh
ing at them destroy them? For your
race, in its poverty, has unquestion-
ably one really effective weapon
laughter.
"POwer, money, persuasion, supplica-
ton, persecution-these can lift at a
colossal humbug-push it a little
weaken it a little, century by century I;
but only laughter car blow it to rags
and atoms at a blast. Against the as
sault of laughter nothing can stand"

X. found Sidney in the room. not sit

slowly and met his eyes. 1t seemed to
X. that she looked at him as if she had

Sidney was trying to reconcile the X.

X, no longer obscure, although still
shabby, whose height had suddenly be-
come presence. whose quiet was the
quiet of infinite power.
She was suddenly shy of him, as he

GROWTH OF IMPROVED ROADS
Mileage Of Surfaced Highways Has
Been Increasing at Rate Of
10000 Miles Yearly.

Rapid increase in total expendi-
lures for roads and bridges, growth
Of building and maintenance activities
under state supervision, and a sharp
decrease in the proportion of contribu-
tons in the form Of statute labor
mark the development Of highway
work in the United States during the
past II years. These facts are
brought out by statistics for the cal
endar year 1915, recently compiled by
the office of public roads and rural en-
cheering Of the department.
The total length of public roads in
the United States outside the limits
Of incorporated towns and cities was
about 2,452,0OO miles on January 1,
1915. OF this, about 277,0O0 miles,
or 11.3 per cent, were improved with
some form Of %surfacing. The mile
age of surfaced roads has been in
creaslng at the rate of about 10000 a
year, and in 1915 approximately one
half of this increase was made under
the supervision of state highway de-
partments. In addition these de-

He felt that Johnny would be a good

done of omission or commission,

Johnny was close on the edge of his
long sleep by that time, and very COM

accident?"

And so Johnny Rosenfeld paid.
The immediate result Of his death
was that X, who had gained some of
his faith in himself on seeing Wilson
on the way to recovery, was beset by
his old doubts. And now came Il Ques-
ton that demanded immediate answer.
Wilson would be out of commission for
several months nrohahly. He WAS
gaining, but slowly. And he wanted X.
to take Over his work.

A Civic PRAYER,

For III comfortable living, for our
fair surroundings, for many bless
ings which the poor must lack, we give
hearty thanks; and we resolve that
from what store we have, a little more
than we a comfortably afford shall
be given to those servants of the poor
who seek to cheer forlorn homes, to
lift up weary lives, to open the path
of opportunity, to remove old evils, and
to cur the plague Of poverty at its
very sources. This is done in the hope
and faith that (our city, will thus
become a fairer and better home for
all alike, and that virtue, courage, and
peace will increase visibly among us
and bless (our city, among all cities,
forevermore. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Almy

districts, principally iii the southwest

has been noted In a somewhat more
violent form in Italy, Is years ago. 1t
manifests itself in children and per-
sists through life, and is often so dis
figuring that the victims resort to arti.
fetal browning. 1t is a defect of the

COOPERATION LIFE TO CITY
Community Which Does Not Eneour
age Growth Of individuals and
Industries Cannot Thrive.

Speaking before the gathering of
business men of Baltimore at a ban
quet in his honor, Charles M. Schwab
said: No large industry can thrive In
a community unless 1t enjoys the good
will and the support Of that commu-
nifty"
That statement Is as true Of the
small industry as Of the large indus
try, and it is true Of the individual
business nan as well.
And there is also truth in the state
ment that the community cannot
thrive which does not give to the indi.
viduals and to the small industries as
well as to the large industries stu
ated therein every encouragement to
growth and expansion.
Cooperation is the life Of the city.
Without 1t there can be ne city in the
true sense. There may be an aggre-
cation of houses, of businesses and OF
people-but that does not make a city
as we know the city today.
The true city of the twentieth CEN
Jury Is u pIdCc VI oCllOolS, u piuSc u
churches, a place Of wide and we'll
paved streets, a place of Fairgrounds
and of parks, a place of beauty and a
place of culture.
1t is as well a place where every
man who is doing his share for the
mutual welfare is receiving his share
of the credit and the profit; where the
new industry is given local support in
the period when that is needed and
still receives that support when 1t
reaches prosperous maturity; where
the farmer who brings in the product
of his labor may be sure Of a market
at a price that is fair and just; where
the stranger receives every considera-
ton and is not robbed.
In short, the true city is a place
where people can live in happiness and
contentment, secure in the enjoyment
of pleasant homes, loyal friends n
business conditions-and
without the spirit Of cooperation 1t Is
impossible for a city long to exist.

SCHOOL GARDENING NOT FAD
Tendency in Some Quarters Not to
Regard New Development Serious
iy Is Decried.

The federal bureau of education of
the department of the interior has is
sued a pamphlet, Gardening in Ele-
mentary City Schools" which covers
the progress and prospects of school
gardening. The testimony presented
by school officials from cities of more
than 5000 population in all parts of
the country indicates that while gar
den work is offered in the schools Of
about four hundred cities and enthu-
siastically praised by the school Off
Gals of these cities, there is still a ten
dency in some quarters to regard it
merely as another educational fad.
This it certainly is not. The United
States is still an agricultural country,
and the teaching of gardening brings
the schools at one point closer to the
real business of the country than any
thing else taught, says the Indianapo-
lis News.
But of course there must be some
system about teaching gardening. The
natural desire for a garden must be
cultivated and conserved, so that the
transition from play to work can be
accomplished. This is the problem Of
the educators. Many cities have COM
planned that they cannot get good
teachers to undertake the work. The
school authorities will have to cult
vate teachers as the children cultivate
their gardens-that' is, If they r to
meet the demand. For 1t appears
from the government report that school
gardening has won Its place. 1t has
developed the home garden under
school supervision, and this has proved
not only its educational worth, but
also its economic worth.

COUNTY IS BUYING TROUBLE
Road That Will Not OutIast Its Cost
Is INTELLECTUALLY Becomes
Total Loss.

When a county or township builds
a road that will not Outlast its cost,
that county or township is buying
trouble and paying cash for it.. 1t
borrows money to buy a liability
creates a debt to buy something that
will be a continual expense until it
finally becomes a total loss through
being worn out. And borrowing
money to build a road that will not
last under modern traffic conditions is
unsound finance.
