generation and often do turn into
deadly Bright's Disease.

A new method Of using the wind In
sand-road construction has proved so
successful, that, after making a nine
mile experimental stretch in New Mex
leo, roadmakers in that state have
built so miles of similar highways.
First of all, the grass and weeds are
cleared from the right of way. and
then a trench is made through the
sand to the clay bottom. The loose
sand is deposited in stacks ten feet
from either side of the cut, and the
rest of the work is left to the desert
winds. During the spring and fall, the
winds sweep away all the sand and
widen the clay strip. Then the road is
graded and the work finished.

COUNTRY NEEDS MORE ROADS
Improved Highways Influence Every
Branch of Economic and Financial

There is no doubt about 1t, the coun-

come an economic necessity that our
roads be improved because good roads
influence every branch and twig of the
social, economic and financial struc-

Good roads decrease the cost of liv-

roads save labor-pOor roads spend it.
A community with good roads has an

GETS A UNIQUE NOTE
FROM BUCKHEAD PARSON
Wants Assistance of Police in Re-

ATLANTA, Ga.-There's a negro
preacher in Buckhead, Atlanta's we'll
known suburb, who evidently has q
very forgiving spirit. At least, local
police get this inference from the
following letter he has written to
the chief in Atlanta:
$50 l gone to my wife's house to-
night after being gone since Febru-
airy, and I peeped through the key
hole in de door and complish the re-
suits of my vigilance. Now l wants
a officer to go down with me and
hear me try to realize with her to
see if I can't prognesticate her am
bissiousness, so she will again infec-
Tomato my desires"
This language, it must be confess
ed. is a bit turgid; but we've read
stuff from the pen of reporters that
had even less lucidity. Therefore one
must conclude that the Buckhead
parson is willing to forgive his spouse,
no matter how far she may have
strayed along the primrose path, and
the police ought to render him ev-
cry possible assistance.
