Good for Britain" you say. But

This: There are some psi, $40 miles of
highways in the state systems of this
country. Last year total of $4,000
miles OF new roads, graded or surfaced.
We're added. For some years to come we
will probably add new roads at about
that rate
Recently we made rather long Jour

gardly to spend enough money to protect
what we have, has allowed mmbermen to
cut down any and every tree they wanted
and hundreds of thousands of other acres
have been burned or otherwise wasted
Suppose, therefore, we planted trees
along our highways? Suppose we planted
tree every fifty-odd feet on both sides
of our roads? This would give us about
200 trees per mile or more than 10000
900 shade-producers along our state sys-
tenn, not counting the lesser roads. The
new roads would add some 100000 more
trees every year.
Not only would this be the equivalent
of whole new forests but you'd bless en-
every time you went touring-with
double blessing at each stop for repairs.
Think this over Get behind the idea
The federal government pays part Of the

congressman that one of the conditions of
this help should be tree every 50 feet

A RISE IN PRICE

DALES of muskrat skins sold in the

says market item. One dollar and
ninety-eight cents!
There was a time, centuries ago, IL
seems, back in Northern Ohio, when you
took your newly acquired pup, Tiger, out
10 make a great muSkrat hunter of him.
Say, man! The muSkrat skin market was
way up TO Is cents. cash, or 10 cents
credit on new pair of skates, and u boy
simply had TO have dog TO lend hand,
on leg, rather in pursuit of the crafty
'musky,' who could swim like a blue
streak, dive like cormorant and find
hole where there wasn't any,
Tiger sure looked unusually promising,
Ears and tail clearly hound. the rest of
him pretty much miscellaneous, and with
paws built for well-digging. A foot OF
snow. Lake and creek still ice-bound and
the mercury struggling to bid zero good
bye. But, now and then the sun bursting
forth from banks of downy clouds to set
fields, roofs and the bare trees afre with
silvery flames.
The big drifts along the creeks bank are
n good place to induct Tiger into first
grade primary in the school of rafting.
Musky has dug long tunnels in the
snow. He has made and colored brown
straight runway 10 the creek. He has
even trod solid place upon the top of a
snow dune, where, maybe. his folks dance
in the moonlight and from which he can
be on the lookout for boys with Tiger
dogs. There, he has just lodged into that
hole over yonder!
Dig for him, Tiger dig Orders to dig
are what pups ears are made for. Tiger
shoots snow out between his hind legs as
q busted fire horse sprays water. Ha,
now Tiger is to him, Fact. Musky puts
four front teeth, sort of narrow safety
razor blades, into Tigers nose. Tiger takes
a circuit of about half-mile. yelling nj
every jump, and finally seeks surcease
under mas kitchen stove. Yes, you get
