AS soon as weather conditions Will
permit work will be resumed on the
improvement of the Walker road, from
Good Hope to the District line. This
roadway will be widened and a smooth
surface of madacam Will be laid. The
sharp turn in this road at knoXs farm
will also be eliminated as a part of the

will remove one of the worst stretches
in the District, and about which numer-
Gus complaints were made. 1t is the

ment before that time. With the I'M
provement it will give good road

Bad Days

The greatest poets had their
days when they wrote punk and
painful lays. In vain their Tyres
they'd wildly jerk the old afflatus
wouldn't work. 3 often read the
stately bards, and they, though
loaded to the guards with inspira-
ton smoking hot, quite frequent
ly would turn out rot. a Shake
speare had his balky times, when
it was hard to dig up rhymes. A
Milton often walked the floor,
and beat his head against the
door, and tried his best to toot
his lutte, which wouldn't answer
worth a boot. But when man
is labeled great this thing will
not his fame abate. The worse
he writes the more the crowd
will say how richly he's endowed !;
they'll take his hating, bad-day
rhyme and show just why it is
sublime. When Browning had
an evil day he'd often write a
crazy lay that had no sense, and
he'd confess that what it meant
he couldn't guess. And Browning
fans would organize, and try to
look profound and wise, and
wrestle with each dippy line, and
call it noble and divine. Which
filled the gifted Bob with mirth
while he was dwelling on this
earth. WALT MASON.
