A kid like you at forty three
Wrinkled. perhaps, ar and . somewhat pnsy gray

Waiting still for the bell to ring
For spring-an oldtime spring
Not Not Of the the spring m @ the pc poets tsa singm
But, rather, of the Crash and Bng,
OF two-base hits and winning teams
The ancient roar
That echoes in jubilee
When your long triple ties the score,
If I could only know the joy
OF waiting for spring like that,
With spike and n' glove, with bali and bat,
While 10000 cheered my name '.
To look Age in the face-and grin
The while held Youth by the hand
TO play the game out-lose or win
You who still romp amid the clan
OF those unborn when you began.
At forty-three
Gouty and old-or fat and slow
Dressed up without place to go
In games that hold nations sway;
But you, still in the mornings sun,
ue You who I%S amid snaIiedGSn the Iong parade
Saw Matty start and shine and fade
Saw Waddell, Walsh and Chance and Brown
FORGOTTEN in each tickle town.
Well, back at forty-two,
No pitchers cheered the season through
When you came hulking into view

Some game-we know
But you, .whove seen them come and so,
Know how soon Youth runs into Age,
AS, one by one, the old Bush calls,
AS great names leave the Sporting Page
And even mighty Larry falls.
But you, alone,
Cling to the throne,
Not caring that the hour is late,
Defying Tide and Time Fate
or, MAYBE, Hans you must have known
If you had faded, passed or flown
The game would not have been worth w he.
Who'd care to see that sort of game?
A box score minus Wagners hit?--

Wars drift by
Wars and rumors of wars alarm
But the light still flames in your Batting Eye,
And the snap remains in your ancient arm;
For Time has beckoned you in vain
Has called you with its yearly plea
But you still hold your ancient reign
And stick around-at forty-three-
At forty-three-when most of them at thirty-four
Have long since faded from the push

VALUE OF IMPROVED ROADS
Value Of Farm Increased by Getting
Crops to Market Rapidly and
CheapIy as Possible.

The value of good roads is becom.
ing more and more recognized in the
United States every day. Wise men
point to the fact that tap-line railroad
spurs cannot be constructed in the
country for less than $4,000 a mile,
and that the cost of these must be paid
. by the commodity transported over
them.
The good roads do not cost so much
and are just as efficient. Everything
that makes it easier to get crops to
the market raises the value of farm
lands by making them more profitable
to the farmer.

rough surface. This method of con-
struction was developed by the Mas
sachusetts state highway commission.
According to Engineering News, the
roadbed is covered with broken stone
from two to three inches in size, which
is rolled until the bed is three inches
thick. This bed then has hot asphalt
applied to it by pressure distributor
at the rate of two and three-fourths
to three gallons per square yard. This
asphalt fills the spaces between the
stones, but the latter are so large that
their tops project somewhat above the
asphalt binder and thus afford a foot
hold in any but icy weather.

REDUCES cosI OF LIVING
crooer's Scheme Has Proved satisfac-
tory TO Himself and the Customers
Whom He Serves.

A grocer in Fond du Lac, Wis,
has introduced an interesting sys-
tenn. He calls it the cash and carry
system"
II his customers pay cash for their
goods he throws off 5 per cent. If
they carry their purchases home he
throws off another per cent. If
the family's grocery bill is $25 a
month that means a saving Of $3.50
which would make a tidy addition
TO the savings bank balance.
The plan, it is reported, takes well
with this grocer's customers. More
over, he is tickled with it himself. 1t
saved him the expense Of putting on
more delivery wagons, which he
would have had to do if he hadn't
adopted the system. 1t has increased
his trade. 1t has given him the
benefit of cash in the till instead Of
credit on the books. 1t seems to be
beneficial all around.
1t isn't exactly new, Of course.
There are shops that do something
like the same thing; that is, by sell
ing for cash only and doing no de-
livering, they can and do sell goods
cheaper, and many take advantage
of the opportunity to be thrifty.
The cost of living is vastly higher
than it used to be before the days of
credit and telephone ordering, when
mother used to put a basket on her
arm and go shopping. And one of
the reasons why the cost of living is
higher is that credit and delivery
both cost money which, Of course, the
consumers have to pay.-Duluth
Herald.
