He maintained that traffic does
not come to Milan by way of Tay-

principally, and that the Rock Is

is main thoroughfare.
John L. Clark. Presumption, adj
vocated the construction Of Route
8 from Milan to Hamlet through
Presumption. He made the point
that il the Presumption route was
adopted, the city Of Rock Island
would derive large amount OF
trade from the territory to the east,
in Henry county, and in parts OF
Mercer, because it would natural
ly come to Presumption 70 get the
advantages of q hard road, and
from Presumption go 10 Rock Is
land. The people to the south and
west, he maintained would normal
~ trade in Rock Island in any
event, but the selection Of the road
from Milan almost due south to
Presumption would appeal to
large eastern constituency, not to
be wisely ignored.
Mr.. Clark emphasized that there
were other and more important
considerations than mere mileage,
citing the service that every mile
of road represents in the way OF
traffic and trade, and the territory
it renders reaches, as an example,

s. X. kenworthy, Rock Island,
argued for the Turkey Greek road
runRing from Milan west to Tur-
key Hollow, thence a quarter of a
mile west to Taylor Ridge, west to
point due north OF Hamlet. and
south TO Hamlet He stated that
this route had peculiar engineering
advantages, being practically level,
only one hill and but three right
angles, mile shorter than any
other proposed route between Mi
Ian and Hamlet. This road, he
said would give Rock Island more
actual mileage than the other sug-
gested routes, adding that Rock
Island county deserved as much
mileage as it could get as it paid
the state more money for automo-
bile licenses than any of the other
counties of the state except two.
He affirmed that the people of
the city of Rock Island preferred
the Turkey Hollow route for the
reason also that it could thus tap
the rich agricultural section to the
south and west.
Mr.. kenworthy maintained fur
Their that the Turkey Hollow route
had been endorsed by the county
board of supervisors notwithstand-
ing the fact that the former chair
man of the board favored the camp
ground route, and that other en-
dorsements had been given by the
Rock Island Chamber of Com
merce, the Rotary, Kiwanis clubs,
the Woman's club, the Elks, and
other organizations. The road, he
declared presented fewer engineer
ing difficulties than the other
routes proposed for consideration.

On Ignorance of Wives.

A Brooklynite is reported to be seek
ing annulment of marriage on the
ground that his wife cannot count.
While his better half's lack of arith-
metical attainments may have draw
backs, it has certain advantages that
are not to be lightly overlooked. Alb
sence of ability to count may work
to the benefit Of unscrupulous shop
keepers and others with whom she
deals, but it would also enable the
complaining husband to get away with
almost anything involving computa-
ton. For instance, he could hand her
dollar bill and tell her to go out and
buy fur coat or a diamond necklace.
Of course, she couldn't do it, but she
would probably credit her husband
with exceptional generosity and debit
the dealers in luxuries with pocket
book-defying exorbitancy. Then, on
returning in the small hours of night,
he could explain that it was still early
in the evening, and she could not dis
pute him. And, in the matter of the
pay envelope, he could have things his
own way, for wife would be unable to
check up his financial statement. All
of which goes to prove that, when
wifey's ignorance means husbands
bliss, it may, to certain extent, be
folly to wish her wise or otherwise

THE CHRISTMAS
SPIRIT
By Mary Graham Bonner
20. 1922. Western Newspaper Union. }

p LIEN had been feeling that there
was no such thing in the world as
q Christmas spirit.
: During the summer, for example,
she had taken trip. Everyone seemed
to enjoy 1t. Everyone seemed to be
glad to get away from the world with
It's scandals and it's spoilt civilization.
That was what everyone said as they
took the trip through the simple wilds,
remote and picturesque and old.
This seemed to be the life everyone
longed for and then some one men,
toned a scandal which had taken place
nearby some months before.
With dash everyone made for the
scene-so they could tell the people
back home that they had seen the To-
cality of the scandal and Ellen had
been disgusted. Was it such a sordid
world after all?
Then she had taken some poor chill
dren to a big store to see the Christ
mas display and they had been refused
admittance. The customers had OBJ
jected to such crowds of children
they wanted to see the display them
selves--why should poor children see
the toys when they could only look
And all about the outside of the store
were eager little faces peering into
the windows and hoping that perhaps
they could get in when the one who
watched at the door was not looking.
Once in while one did and the chill
dren from outside waited for the news.
"What did you see? What did you
see" they shouted as the lucky one
came out again.
Other stores had been different.

Keep on Smiling Just the Same.

Accp Oh Omllln8 JUST the same.
Another brickbat has been hurled at
American complacency. Maria Mora
vsky, who evidently traces her ances-
try to Slavic origins, says in the Out
look that we smile too much, overdo
optimism, appear always much too
cheerful. She objects strenuously to
our happy little verbal admonitions,
"Say it with a smile" "Grin and bear
it,, she's especially anxious to escape
"the voice with SMILE" Actually she
fears for our sanity; it can't be right
all this cheerfulness; anger and gloom
and bitterness must have place, she
insists, or our cheerfulness will wear
us mentally ragged. All of which may
be very wonderful psychology, and all
of which may fit in with what may be
called the atavism of Miss Moravsky.
AS for healthy-minded Americans, we
shall doubtless continue to count our
perennial "smile that won't come off,
as our happiest asset and be greatly
indulgent with those whose fears for
our sanity are based on Slavic predis-
positions and gloom. If smiling is
really disease, let US hope it will
take more serious turn and become

TheEvergreenT Tree
By Christopher G. Hazard
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

(@, 1922, Western NewspaDer Union)
THE servants had retired and left
the old lady alone. She sat be.
fore the decorated and lighted tree
That was burdened with gifts that
seemed to have no destinations. For
Mrs. Stone was long past the wanting
OF gifts and no companions, young or
Old, sat with her, because she wished
to be alone with her memories.
She was not as alone as she seemed
to be, for, in the great chair opposite
to hers memory placed the fairy figure
Of the child who had glanced and
danced about the house and under the
Christmas tree of long ago. Beside
her there sat one who seemed to Law
his hand again upon hers in happy
and satisfied affection, while there
bent over her the strong and tender
youth who was once her hope for later
years. Again the old house seemed
full of Joy, and noisy merriment drove
out the deathly stiffness, while the
tree that is always green spoke of the
Immortality of happiness.
The next day, when the servants
dismantled the evergreen tree, it was
found that every gift was marked
with name, and they were busy that
Christmas morning in distributing new
happiness about the neighborhood.
