Besides teaching mathematics,
Prof. Mills was for many years
bursar Of the college. And who,
among the older alumni Of this
college, can ever forget the kind
liness, the accuracy, the patience
and the helpfulness Of the noble
man?
1t has been my good privilege
to be associated with Prof Mills
in several capacities. He was my
teacher, he has been my collegue
in the faculty, my neighbor, my
personal friend. His was a rare
and choice spirit. He had in a very
marked degree the rare gift Of
making the Divine Presence seem
to be the most real, the most vital
and the most present Of all the
realities Of life. Nor is this ever
done in any studied, mechanical
Of perfunctory way. OF course it
could be done in that way. It came
rather in the most natural, easy
and spontaneous way in the course
of every conversation. What a

ing his best to popularize a new

Of the same material. Cartridge

SOME FACTS WHICH
HAPPENED OVER
THIRTY YEARS AGO

Last night, just 81 years ago
we had an earthquake which last
ed five or ten minutes, and no
doubt some Of our readers will
remember the fact. We remember
the incident very we'll, and were
only last night thinking that prob
only the same thing might occur
again, as the same weather condi-
tons were similar and the air was
still and close, and greatly resem
bled the night Of the famous
earthquake, but we are very
thankful that the same catastro-
phe did not occur again this year,
and of courseather are many Of our
readers that will appreciate the
same fact. 'sw~

We are certaily glad to note the
fact that our County Commission
ers have done something toward
Improving some Of our county
roads. We notice especially that
the road passing through Deep

commendable on the part Of our

highly appreciate this act on their
part, and Of course the efficient

RECORD OF
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

Washington, D. c., Aug. 81
The Government under the pres
ent Democratic Administration is
spending more money for good
road construction in cooperation
with the various States than it
cost to build the Panama Canal.
The result of this work has been
to initiate and complete road i'm
|provements and construction that
aggregate in length more than 9
times the distance from San Fran
cisco to New York. In 1915, the
Federal \and state governments
expended in all for roads and
bridges $267 100000. This year
they are spending together $633,
100000.
Many of the roads now being
built Of the permanent kinds, such
las bituminous concrete, Portland
cement concrete and verified
brick. Roads Of this type, when
completed, will add 1900 miles tc
national permanent highways.

for many years. Nor were those
observations mere idle talk: they
were keen, disseminating and al
ways informing and helpful. Three
books he always tried to have near

we're his New Testament, his

to the quality Of the culture Of a
