Transportation Important.
TRANSPORTATION is the connecting
link which. brings production and con-
sumption together and makes possible
that great and wonderful state OF So
ciety which we call social intercourse.
With the necessity for transporta-.
tion comes the necessity for good
roads and. as invention in its march
of progress makes greater demands
upon the roads, we are called upon
to devise new methods in meeting the
situati0Sh
It was not many years ago when
an ordinary earth road was consider
ed ample for all time to come, put
today the automobile and truck, with
high speed and heavy loads, are de-
manding something more certain, SUD-
stantial, and endurable. In years
gone by, when it was the duty of the
road supervisor to call out the
farmers to work out their road tax,
from one to two days to each farmer,
we considered the highways and the
highway work more or less a joke.
Men simply met and put in their re-
quired hours to comply with the law.
But today the highway problem has
become one of the biggest and most
serious problems of the American peo-
ple. When the automobile came and
the more progressive began to see the
necessity of good roads, many tax
payers still contended that t Z better
ment of the roads was simply for the
pleasure of the few. As time passed
by, however, all recognized the fact
that the automobile is necessity and
that good roads are indispensable.
Even though practically every busi-
ness man and farmer drives car to-
day. few realize what tremendously
big business the road game is, and Vt
is incumbent upon all to spread the
gospel of good roads.
In the FIVE years from 1879 to 1883
inclusive. when construction engineers
and great financial interests put
through the greatest railroad building
projects the American people have
ever seen, costing $500, 600, 10000, 9
great many people thought it would
bankrupt the nation. Instead of the
nation going broke. however, it prov
ed the greatest investment ever made
in both an economic and altruistit
sense.
A Tremendous Project.
It is now estimated that within the
next five years the American States
will build 100, 900 miles of roads cost
ing at the very least $2500, 900 10000
Can any reader conceive what trem-
endous sum of money this is and what
efforts are necessary for this road
construction

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

1--WE want some more riddles,
please" said the Twins.
"Good!" said the Riddle Lady.
"Im just trying to think up good
one"
Nancy and Nick got as close as
ever they could, but the Fat Man
OF Bombay puffed so loudly when he
breathed, poor thing, that it didn't
do much good. They were sure they
weren't going to hear a word.
Nancy was greatly relieved when
all at once the fat man said, ooh,
shucks! | never guessed a riddle in
my life and I'm not going to begin
now. If you don't mind, Mrs. John,
4 think I'll just go and sit on your
nice little front porch and smoke my
pipe"
'Oh, yes do, Mister Fat Man," said
Mrs. John (for that was the only
name he had), SO away he waddled
Everyone could hear twice as well
after he left.
Here's new riddle" said the
Riddle Lady. So she began:
"He sits on a throne,
And he rides white horse,
And he wears twenty rings on his
hand,
Rows of soldiers stand stiffly,
Not moving of course,
Just waiting to do his command.
"A dozen long feathers
Adorn his fine hat,
And buckle both handsome and
big,
And his hairs curled SO finely,
I'm positive that
Any person would think twas wig

And trimmed up with ermine,
As white as the midwinter SHOWS,
And as silkw0rms make, sill. No.

SOME HEALTH ''DON'TS"

DOS" are generally more effective
than 'don'ts," so Mrs. Jones Of Any
town had learned in bringing up her
family. of youngsters.
Of course she was, like most peo-
pie, inclined to shout "don't" at one
of the children, as often us not. But
on the whole she had found that if
they were properly instructed in
what to do, the chances were that
sooner or later they would not have
to be corrected SO frequently.
But there are a few little health
d0n'ts that parents should enforce
with considerable rigidity. Among
them are these:
Don't breathe through the mouth.
