Good Roads Help.

1t is mistake to regard good roads
as more or less of luxury and TO dis
courage work on them on the ground
that it should be diverted to spheres
of greater urgency. The condition of
the roads has a close connection with
agriculture production, and greater
dependence must be placed on high
ways for motor transportation, which
can make up inpart for tale inadequacy
Of railroad facilities to the present
enormous demands.
Every mile of new road enables
the farmee to extend his operations
and to make greater profits. A GER
tain amount oil road building should
therefore come before farm work it.
self. The prices OF materials have
risen and the labor situation presents
difficult problems: Rout instead of the
construction of good roads being sus-
pended, it should Zoe pursued consis-
tently throughout the period Of adj
iustment to war conditions.

Consolation.

A young prcbationer was preaching
his trial sermon in a church in one OF
the inland villages OF Scotland. After
finishing the discourse he leaned
over the pulpit and engaged in silent
prayer, an act which surprised the
congregation, who were unaccustomed
to such procedure. Suddenly the
young preacher felt someone slapping
him gently on the shoulder, and on
turning around he beheld the deacon,
who said: 'Hoot, mon, dinna TAX it
sac mickle to heart; yen maybe dae
better next time"
