around through the saw mill and saw
the saws while they were not saving.
1t was the first time in my life that
saw saws rigged up to saw shingles.
1t is wonderful machinery and I;
would like to see them saw.
At the Cross Roads.
Then he took us on a tour of in
spection of his timber land. where it
had been reported that the shingle
mill owner had sawed up 800 cords
of his fine cedar logs into shingle
bolts, but had not yet hauled them
away. In his haste to see the shingle
bolts he bolted across a cross-road
where the road supervisor had left
an open ditch along the cross-road.
Very careless of the Mason county
road officers. He thought it would
be a good April Fool joke to give us
a bump over the ditch and scare us.
1t was quite successful, only he
shared the scare with us. When the
front wheels bumped the ditch we
arosS in our seats, and again when
the hind wheels bumped. By that
time he had lost control of the steer
ing wheel and started into the woods
over toward Kelsey's. Mason county
had a snowfall the night before and
it was hard to estimate the exact size
of log through the covering Of
snow. When the front wheel on the
haw side hit the log, | started out
toward heaven. A new top on the
OldsmObile was strong enough to
keep me from going the rest of the
way. so l was again denied the pleas

We stopped a-straddle of the log.
and made an examination. thinking
the whole machine must at least be
cracked in every joint. if not crushed.
Up to date the damage discernable is
a break of the middle leaf in the for
ward spring, which will necessitate a
new leaf for Attorney Frank Ground
water to turn over.
This spring is not very forward, so
think l will wait till summer before
going out with him again to climb
trees in the forests of Mason county
with an Oldsmoble.

French, in particular is very popu-
lar, and is often taught by native
French teachers. l fear there would
be a good deal of opposition to this
idea in America, yet it seems to me
to be sound. No child is harmed by
knowing foreign language, and
many find it of inestimable value in
later years. Moreover, it is much
easier for children to learn languages
: than for adults.
In some other ways | do not think
