Cost OF Removing Snow
It cost the state of Ohio approx
imately 100000 to remove snow
from the main arteries of travel
during the past winter, according to
George F. Schlesinger, state high
way director. His statement reveals
the fact that the state has over 300
light and heavy snow plows always
LA dunALlOA W many Si0tu
ing units which are used for the
purpose of clearing highways OF
snow during winter months. The
average cost of removing snow in
1926 was $40 per mile, and. while
exact data has not been prepared
for the past winter, it is not expect
ed to average more than SIS, or
less. Because of the lack OF funds
no new highway improvements con-
tracts are being let at the present
time, and probably will not be until
after the next appropriation Is
available after next July. On ac-
count of this condition there are
fewer contracts working today in
Ohio, and fewer detours than at any
time since the vast improvement
program of the highway department
was first started. Practically all
contracts which have been let will
be completed before new ones are
awarded

Little Miss Curiosity. the smallest of the children of Polly and Johnny Chuck, who had started cut by her self to see the Great World, was @ prisoner. Farmer Browns Boy had caught her on the edge of the corn field and now he was holding her and gently stroking her. He could feel the humping of her heart.
 You poor little thing." said he. You have nothing to be afraid of. l wouldn't hurt you for the world, nor would allow any one else to hurt you. No, sir, l wouldn't let anybody - hurt you the least little bit. But you are altogether too small a Chuck to be wandering around all alone. You must have run away from home. I suppose ! ought to . take you back there, but probably you would do the same thing over again. So l am going to take you home. There you'll be safe until you are big enough to look after yourself"
 All the time he was talking, Farm CT Browns Boy was gently stroklng Little Miss Curiosity. Her heart no longer dumped so wildly. Somehow CT other she didn't feel so dread fully scared. Once more curiosity was taking possession of her. Never had she been so high Up before. Never had she seei so much of the Great World as she could see now from Farmer Browns Boys hand.
 Up the Long Lane Farmer Browns Boy took her. Straight over to the house he carried her tnd into it. Mother Brown was working in the kitchen. For goodness sake, what have you there? A rnt??" she cried, : backing away.

 Would you like some supper, or do you feel too bum?" Sally asked Beau, when she had slipped into her thin bungalow apron a few minutes later.
 I've never been too sick to eat yet. and I never expect to be-" Beau told her with cheerful bluntness, never glancing up from Jack Demp- sey's own Story"
 Out in the kitchen there was a large puddle of water on the floor, where the drip-pan under the ice- box had run over.
 How the ice does melt this kind Of weather" said Sally aloud. While she was mopping it up, Ted Sloan | opened the screen door and came | into the neat little room where the sunset glow set the aluminium pans and the water facets to gleaming like silver. Ted often came up the back steps to the Jeromes' flat when he heard Sally walking about in the kitchen.
 Hello" he said, and seated him. self on a corner of the table. Gosh, this day sure has been a blazer, hasn't it? I never was so hot in my life.
 Fierce! awful"' answered Sally, wringing out the mop and emptying the drip-pan down the sink. . T could have done that for you," so fast that I never know what you're going to do until you've done it." He began to scrape out the bowl of his pipe with his pocket knife. His gray eyes were on Sally's white face.
 It was damp with precipitation. and around the forehead her hair clung ill little rings. The cheap pink bungalow apron was turned back at the neck, leaving her throat bare. She got down on her knees to put the pan in place under the icebox,
 
 ing close beside her. She glanced up at him in surprise, and then some- thing that she saw in his face-in the sudden masterful glint in his gray eyes-made her turn sharply away from him and walk over to the other side of the kitchep.
 She could feel her face growing warm and rosy under his steady concentrated gaze while she heated some milk for her mother. and cut thin, dainty slices from the loaf of Bohemian ny bread.
 He cleared his throat. Say, Sal ly," he began suddenly, Ever think about doing that for me?"
 She looked up. wide-eyed. Doing what?"
 Getting supper for me-the rest of my life?'
 Supper for you?" Sally echoed. "Why, what do you mean?'
 AS they stood there, facing each other across the neat, comfortable kitchen Mrs. Jerome's voice called shrilly from her bedroom:
 Sally. Sally! Have you forgot ten me?"
 What's that boy talking to you about" she asked suspiciously, when her daughter came to her bedside with trayful of food.
 The greatest fear in Mrs.

Jerome's life was that someone would marry Sally and take her away. For besides being a daughter, Sally was so many other things nurse, and cook and bread winner. She was the most necessary item in Mrs. Jerome's life.
 "Oh, you mean Ted?" asked Sal- ly fnnocently frank. 'Why, he wants me to get married to him. At least, think that's what he's been trying to say to me out there in the kitchen"
 Mrs. Jerome gazed at her for a long minute with wet stricken eyes.
 Sally! You'd never do it, would you?" she asked in shaky voice, and Sally promised her solemnly that never, so long as she lived. would she marry Theodore Sloan!

 Mother Brown went to the pantry end came out with q molasses cookie She held it close to the nose of Little Miss Curiosity. Little Miss Curiosity tried to back away, but Farmer Browns Boy held her closely and she couldn't. Then something delicious in the way of an odor tickled her nose. Oh, my, my. my, how good it was. Her mouth began to water. Yes, sir her mouth began to water Never had she smelled anything like that before, but with out knowing anything about it she knew 1t was good. She nibbled it. My, it was better than the sweetest sweet clover she had ever tasted. She forgot everything that had hap pened. She forgot where she was She forgot to be afraid. Nothing mattered now but that cookie.
 Gently Farmer Browns Boy put her down on the floor. She seized the cookie in her two little black hands and there she sat nibbling it as fast as her little jaws could go, She looked so cute that Mother Brown laughed right out. That was all that Farmer Browns Boy wanted. He knew that Mother Brown wouldn't object to keeping Little Miss Curiosity as d ret
