Tie excessive cOst-OT repairing the I'M
satisfactory roads it now has. Farm
ers, dairymen, manufacturers, mer
chants, contractors and others will be
denied the maximum economy Of haul
age and delivery by motor vehicle by
the action of legislatures in imposing
heavy fees on motor trucks for use of
| the roads and restricting their size,
weight and speed.
Several OF the more progressive
states have awakened to the situation.
The good roads bill passed in Illinois
two years ago provided for the build
ing Of durable roads, and a consider
able mileage of concrete and brick
roads has been bailt in that state
New Jersey is a vast truck garden
that supplies the markets of New York
and Philadelphia, and it means money
in the pockets of the farmers to have
roads that they can depend upon every
day in the year, just as they depend
upon the railroads. Good wagon roads
are even more essential to the prosper
ity of the state today than railroads,
because with good roads and motor
trucks it would be possible for the
state to carry on all its activities, while
with railroads and no wagon roads
many of them would have to shut down.
Few states in the Union would care
to admit that they are less progressive
than New Zealand, yet that common
wealth in the antipOdes has come to
realize that its roads are not equal to
the demands of traffic and proposes to
adopt concrete road construction as
practiced i'll some parts of the United
States. Authorities there estimate that
twelve foot concrete roads can be built
for $1,000 mile more than ordinary
stone roads and that there would be a
saving In upkeep of at least $1,000 a
mile during the first five years, while
at the end of ten years there would be
a saving Of $1,000 OIL $4,000 per mile.

Half of Eace MISSING.

ut is not an uncommon thing" says
man who has hunted in central Afri
ca, ito meet native with half of his
face missing, and when you ask him
how it happened he will tell you that a
hyena snapped at him while he was
asleep.
1T is marvellous how they recover
from such wounds, as the teeth of the
animal must be poisonous, and the ma
tives have no antiseptics and a very
crude way of treating wounds.
when a FISH, as the natives call it,
comes round the camp bowling the
boys shout all sorts of vile names at
it. But very often the animal makes
no noise whatever, and not till next
is the loss of something dis

How Music Affected Boswell.

Boswell had a good deal more feel
ing for music than DR.. Johnson and
suffered at his masters hands. Once
in a moment of expansiveness he told
Johnson that music affected him. to
such a degree as to agitate his nerves
most painfully, producing alternative
that he was ready to shed tears, and
of daring resolution, so that he was
inclined to rush into the thickest of
the battle.
Sir" replied Johnson, Il should
never hear it at all if it made me such
a. fool" ~

The death of Willie Lincoln before
the second Christmas in Washington
was a bitter sorrow. In 1868 Mr.. Col
fax said to the president: "Mr. Lin
coin, you are worn out. I'm going to
my old home for Christmas. Go with
me- Bring Tad and take rest of a
day or so.'
| Mr.. Lincoln shook his head and said
mo, Mr.. ColfaX, 1 can't take holidays.
I've said before to you that 1 would
gladly change places with the soldiers
who sleep on the ground today"
Tad was wild that Christmas. Rob-
ert had gone off on his pony for
the day. His mother was busy with
friends from Illinois Parcels, bundles
and boxes were coming by express to
Tad Lincoln" Firms in the east and
west and Washington houses were
sending their handsomest books and
finest games to president Lincoln's
Tad"
Now. Tad, with his father, had Wis
tied the camps across the river only
few days before. They had found
'the soldier boys suffering from poor
shelter. severe cold and much sick
ness.
Quite late that Christmas night as
Mr.. Lincoln sat alone at his table,
piled with maps, weary, sad eyed and
troubled Tad rushed in with his arms
full of books. Climbing to his fathers
knee, putting his small arms around
his fathers neck. he exclaimed excit-
edfy:
Father, l want to send these beau
tiful books over to the camp. Don't |

homesick the soldier boys looked that
day. You seeNtheX haze no pictures

mile on the way to market over the
average country road, while the aver
age cost OF haulage by motor truck
over paved city streets is only 11%
cents a ton mile. If country roads were
as good as city streets and farmers
used motor trucks their haulage costs
would be cut in half. They would also
be able to take advantage Of the high
est market prices at all seasons of the
year and haul the fullest loads, where
as now they often get stuck in the
mud with half a load in fall and
spring. These conditions have good
deal to do with the high cost of living
every one has to pay.
Until the main market roads are BUR
faced with some hard, durable ma
teral, the country will go on wasting

of the dances of the social calendar.
The hall presented an enchanting

TO have no real dangers for the thirsty
woodsmen and their ladies. The dance
was most thoroughly enjoyed by two

for the coming week is the Home
Concert of the Glee Club of the uni

day evening at the university auditor

Press notices on their recent nor

than those accorded the organization
on their 1916 concert trip, when music
critics in many of the towns visited
pronounced their concert the best mus
ical program that had ever been
heard in their cities
Previous to this year, the Home
Concert" has always been scheduled
before the tours but conditions arts
ing made this impossible this year.
So that Moscow lovers are assured of
an experienced assemblage at this con-
cert beside the well known meritorous
work of the club.

merce:
Practically everything raised and

lowest limits and are rising. At some

the public roads and streets. Here is
the one place where there is possibility
of effecting large saving in transpor-
