Keeping Roads In Condition

AS the humorist remarks, tits not
the original cost that counts, but the
~upkeep." Its the upkeep on country
roads that causes more trouble than
the original grading Some Hand
county farmers have solved that pro-
bIem, also. with the mighty Ford"
They hook a drag on behind their tin
lizzie. light a cigarette and sail down
the road a few miles, perhaps visiting
a friend. On the way back home they
take the other side Of the road-and
there you arct When starting ont
anywhere Just take the drag aionp
for mile or two. o J; three. Drop II
along the roadside. and pick II up on

Appeal 10 Grow Gardens

Each family that a grow a garden
this year and doesn't, viii fall short
In the most urgent services demanded
by the nation.
Garden products are consumed
where they are grown, thus transpor-
tation Is conserved. Gardening Is the
extra war work of those who do IT
so no added strain Is put upon the
labor supply OF the country. Also
everything grown in war gardens is in
addition to the normal food produc-
ton hence IL releases that much o
food for Americas soldiers and allies,
At the same time II reduces, dollars
worth for dollars worth, the living
expenses Of each and all who grow
gardens--money that may very well
be invested in thrift stamps or liberty
bonds.
The county agent and Council Of
Defense calls upon all town and coun-
Try dweiiess throughout the county 10
take up gardening. II is a patriotic
duty. DO not waste time by growing
novelties but only standard varieties
If possible grow home grown seeds
Arrange the garden so that II may be
rcsown as soon as the earlier varieties
are used.
In general, however, gardening Is
a task for the family. or the individual
and each individual and family should
realize the fact. Also each individual
should realize that the time for talk
ing about gardening is past. that the
time OF planting is at hand. And each
should remember that a war garden
will be a sort of growing badge of
r~a.ric.siissa q pledge OF loyalty 70 a
nation.
II / can be OF any help to you In
arranging your garden or in the seiec-
ton OF a site. seed etc. do not fail to
ALI on me We must all cooperate
anu wurn in unison 10 successfully
carry on this patriotic enterprise.

Sioux City 5ournal-It takes man
TO laugh. Long ago Il was said that
ali below and all above man in the
universe are serious. Lack Of humor
therefore is a quality that gods and
beasts have in common. But that Is
only apparent. Beasts are inferior to
humor Gods are superior TO II. Man
being talIible but conscious 10 his fai-
libility, is alone qualified 10 perceive
disproportions. A ems of disproPor-
ton Is very close to a ems Of humor.
II indeed II Is not that. Indeed. who
has not observed that the man who
looks upon himself only to be per-
petually astounded at his perfection
has no use for humor?
There Is no blood relations between
the whanging Of a slapstick and the
gentle play OF a bon mot. In the n
case 1t Is a lowering OF physical man
into the stature Of the beast. In the
other II is an e~lcvating OF his mental
ity into a realm Of thin air and elus-
i've ideas; and either the raising or
the lowering, II sudden and preposter-
oas, is funny.
To lack the humorous sense is to
see life without perspective. The
world in which the unhumorous man
lives is a forshortened world. To be
unhumorous Is much the same as to
be immoral; It is TO be deprived OF a
fundamental quality. Humor is the
fat streak, the minds lubricant. It
is perhaps mans greatest gift. for IL
makes his deficiencies, when not &C
tuaHy s.kable, tolerabie eve to him
self.
II. eEiiyy e;;e eE mans great activities
Is ii forbidden humor 10 intrnde-
That is In HIS loves. 10 is then, one
remembers. that man is most godlike
BESIDES, a sense of proportion there
would be calamitous.
