Why Percy Sobbed.

Reference at social affair was
made to the subject Of cOnjugal in
felicity, when this anecdote was fit
tingly related by Representative Fred
erick III. Gillette of Massachusetts:
One afternoon two tramps knocked
at the back door of farmhouse and
meekly, asked the farmers wife for
something to eat. Instead of giving
them bread, she seized convenient
broomstick and began to beat them
over the head with such good effect
that they precipitately fled for the
gate. A mile down the roa6 Gne Of the
uamps stopped running and sobbingly
dropped beneath a tree.
''Why, Percy" exclaimed the other,
solicitously turning to his comrade,
did she hurt you?"
NO" answered Percy, with another
burst of sobs; fortunately, most of
he blows went wild"
"1Yhat's the matter then, old fell
OWI" Queried the second. ''Why
hose tenrs?'

BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROADS
From Standpoint of Almighty Dollar
1t Pays Handsome Yearly Divi-
dend to Farmer.

Let everybody awaken to the I'm
portance of improving the public road,
for improved roads will bring:
Better schools and greater attend
ance.
Better health and quicker medical
attention.
Better farms and more cultivated
land.
Better crops and better transporta-
ton.
Better social conditions and less tso-
lation.
Better churches and better homes.
Better men and a better nation.
Improved roads have money value
as well as social value.
Looking at an improved road from
the standpoint of the almighty dol
lar, 1t Is found to pay a handsome
dividend each year.

TAR AND GRAVEL APPARATUS
Device Invented by New Jersey Man
ufacturer for Heating Materials
for PaVements.

Emulating the famous hunter of the
olden days who killed two birds with
one stone, a New Jersey manufacturer
has recently brought out comhIna-
ton tar and gravel heater that heats
these two dissimilar materials quite in
dependently but with one operation.
The device, which is shown in the ac
companying illustration, is particularly
fitted for street paving where block
pavements with tar joints are laid.
The apparatus consists of two main
parts, rectangular tar kettle and
Y-shaped gravel bin, with a furnace
extending beneath both parts, from
one end to the other. The furnace is
fired from the gravel end of the de-
vice. The smoke and gases escape
through an ordinary stove pipe in the
kettle end. The inside of the gravel

heater is triangular shaped while the
outside is made up in steps consisting
Of perforated metal plates. The Y
shaped top acts as reservoir bin and
the gravel feeds down the steps and
out at the bottom. The perforations
In the step plates allow the moisture
In the gravel to escape readily as it is
turned into steam by the heat of the
fire, thereby making it possible to heat
both tar and gravel.-Popular Science

Maintenance Of Gravel Roads.

On many trunk highways. gravel

fact that on roads carrying com para
lively light traffic the annual interest
cost of a more substantial paveDent
