Victory Drive" this year. The Ken
lucky Sunday School Association or

year forty thousand new pupils were

WAR TEACHES GREAT LESSON
Soldiers Returning From France Tell
Of Many Advantages of Improved
Highway System.

One of the great lessons at home
which the great war taught us is that
of good roads. Ask any of the SOL
diers from "over there" when they
return how they found the roads and
highways of Europe, and ask especial
ly those engineers and members of the
motor corps what, in their estimation,
was one Of the greatest advantages the
allies had in the transportation Of
food and supplies and they will state
that outside Of never ceasing flow of
motortrucks and equipment, the excel
lent highways and roads permitted the
uninterrupted use of this equipment.

LEAVES MAKE GOOD LITTER
Not Advisable to Leave Them on Floor
Too Long-Throw Sweepings on
Garden Patch.

There is no litter better than leaves,
outside of clover or any of the dried
grasses, that fowls find nOurishment
in. But do not allow the leaves to lie
too long on the floors, as the fowls
pick at them until they reduce many
to almost dust. Pack away plenty in
barrels, as you must be sparing of
higher-priced scratching material, and
throw the leaf sweepings on the gov
den patch.
