fall of trees across the way. When
traveller found a tree had fallen
perhaps during the night, he i'm
mediately directed his horse to the
right or left according to which he
thought would be the easier-to go
around the top of the tree or the
butt. The way he chose opened the
path of the future, for each one CON-
ing after would turn the way he did.
Sometimes, however, a big tree,
perhaps four feet in diameter, would
form blockade complete; there
would be no going around. In this
instance the unwilling axe would hew
it down until horse could jump
over, no further, for that would be
a waste of energy.
Then if a sapling or small tree

should lodge across the path at a
height the horse could pass under
without the rider he always dis
mounted with great dignity, led his
horse thru, remounted and continued
his way without concern for who
came next, for the same proceeding
would take place until the tree rotted
down.
At times these mountain paths
will be very beautiful to the nature
lovers as they pass thru stretches of

branches overhead. Two horses may
frequently walk abreast and the
ground is so padded with heather
and moss football is scarcely heard.

MRS. KOTTKE

Mrs. Kottke is the stenographer
at the First National Bank, who reels
off letters and exchange sheets SO
rapidly on her machine. She is in
favor of the bonds. She says she
hopes to live long and happy life
in this county, and would have a
little attack of the blues If she
thought the farmers and stockmen
were not in favor Of bonds and roads.
Mrs. Kottke worked in the bank
while Mr.. Kottke gave himself and
his service to the navy, and she
says she has gathered respect for
people who have the courage and
pluck to undertake something, no
matter whether it is sinking enemy
ships or building roads and paying
the bonds.

THERE is definite reason why the
l Hupmobile has always had such won
derful hold on its owners. 1t actually does
possess qualities not usual in four-cylinder
cars The fact is admitted, even by ex-
ponents of the multi-cylinder type, who
cannot quite understand how The Comfort
Car gets these results out of four cylin-
ders. They are naturally interested in the
intense loyalty of Hupmobile owners. And so, there
is strong tendency, now to try to return to the four
cylinder principle. Of course, the Hupmobile has
reached its present state of development only by
eleven years Of studious application.

Senator Hitchcock at a conference to-

ers them notification Of the treaty
and utterly impossible"
The program outlined by Senator
Hitchcock after he had seen Presi-
dent Wilson last week will be car
ricd thru in the senate Mr.. Hitchcock
said. This is the contemplated defeat
of the ratification with the Lodge re-
servations. attached and the ocering OF
resolution for ratification with out
reservations. With the defeat of this
resolution a deadlock would follow and
a compromise sought.
Senator Hitchcock was with the
president for an hour.
The Presidents decision grew from
republican leaders emphatic state
ments that there would be no COM
promise and that their original pro-
gram Of procedure would be adhered
to. .r.
"The only result has been to harden
our lines," said Senator Lodge.
It was the view Of the republican
leaders that the senate probably
would reach a deadlock and they said
that if the treaty was withdrawn or
failed the situation would be charge
able To the administration.
