The Mystery ExpIained.

Clifton Hess, an employee OF the
Pennsylvania railroad at Shelbyville.
Ind, relates the Indianapolis News,
looked out the window of the freight
depot the other day and noticed a
woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She
had changed her position only slightly,
moving down the railroad track a few
feet. She seemed to be strolling Ieis-
urely along, covering about a foot a
minute.
Curious to determine the reason for
her actions, Hess walked outside to
get a better view Then it was all
explained The woman had a big
Rhode Island Red rooster with a
string tied to his leg. There had
evidently been a leaky car of wheat
along the railroad, and the rooster, OBJ
livious to all else. was calmly filling
his craw while the woman kept up
with the procession.
Later on during the day the good
news must have spread, for there ap-
peared on the scene several other
chickens with owners attached to
them by strings. As the ground be-
came clean the procession slowly
moved from view.

ROAD BUILDING LARGE TASK
President Of National Highways Asso-
citation Tells How 4 Great SyS-
TEN Can Be Built

Thanks to the pushful. pervasive
motor car, American road building has
''got a move on" at last. There is ev-
erywhere the cry for roads. The draw
back has been that, as yet, there has
been no coordination OF these multi
tudinous enterprises. The president
Of the National Highways association
Charles Henry Davis, In q recent paper
stated that we spent last year $249s-
55,967, or more than two-thirds the
total Of money expended so far on the
construction OF the Panama canal
for road Improvements throughout the
country. Mr.. Davis contention is that
good roads, roads that run for thou
sands OF miles through state after
state, are, properly, not the RESPONSE
bility Of the state, but Of the nation
He would have the federal government
build a system OF national roads join
ing the West with the East, the North
and the South, connecting every part
of the country, as is the case with the
national highways Of Europe. and. as
history shows, such as was the essen
tial equipment of every first-class
power OF the past, according to the
Boston Evening Transcript
How would such an enormous con-
struction be paid for and kept up7

neer, ''the government built 100000

PARSIMoNY IS NOT ECONOMY
Many People Able to Buy What They
Want Use Situation as Excuse
for Going Without.

It is a curious and notifying con-
dition Of the prevailing economy" that
many people abundantly able to buy
what they want use the situation as an
excuse for going without. What does
this profit them? 1t merely makes
them richer at a time when the talk
is OF being poorer. says the Hartford
Courant.
Food is one thing and clothes and
other articles that shoppers buy
are in a distinctly other class.
When Smith cut down the sugar,
there is more sugar for Jones,
and the supply Of sugar is limited But
when Mrs. Smith goes without a cloak
for which she can easily pay and
which she expected to buy this season,
she is not helping Mrs. Jones TO get
if; she is simply misering along In her
own way, and to her small ability driv-
ing poor people out Of work and dis
couraging merchants whose capital is
invested. This isn't economy, 1t is par
simony.
If everybody should quit making
purchases, what would become Of
manufacturers or dealers and of the
larger number of workers. It is a
good time to keep a level head. Many
who watch the tendency OF business
say frankly that people Of limited
means are less saving than those who
can well afford to get what they
