which win cut upkeep costs even
further.
But the thing to remember Ii this:
Iowa motorists will not be spending
any more money In the form Of taxes
than they are now, and will get in
return for their sagacity & complete
system Of highways that will save
them from to rs cents d mile
in car operating costs. These fig.
ures were established Iii tests by
Iowa State College.
Huge Saving Seen
Conservatory estimating that
on0.tenth Of Iowa's 700 900 car own
ers drive 5000 miles yearly over
rural roads, the saving In operating
costs would be $4,000. 900 each twelve
months if all rural roads were
paved. Herein the self.sustaining
character Of first class pavements is
apparent, for this saving alone
should more than compensate for the
interest charge on the 500, 100000

From that time on, the evolution

moved to the door to lock it in order that might be undisturbed while examining tho torn blotter. But with my hands on the key l heard Juniors voice calling insist ently "Mother!' and forgetting everything else I dashed down the hall to the room where my small son was conyaiescing from his fall out of the apple tree.
 "Convalescing" was altogether too dignified word for his condition. T. decided as I entered the room and saw him seated in front Of a small table vigorously attacking his break fast. Indeed I knew most boys as well as Junior appeared would be considered cured and left to their own devices. But Katherine was taking no chances after the slight concussion he had suffered, and was keeping him as quiet as possible.
 T thought l heard you walking down the hall" my small son told me reproachfully. and l called two or three times before you answered."
 'I came the first time I heard you" told him while his arms went tightly around my neck for his morning kiss. How does my boy feel this morning."
 Just bully,-thank you" the last words patently an afterthought. Aunt Katherine says may go downstairs on the yeranda most of the day today if I'm quiet and to- morrow can take ride in the new car. Isn't it spiffy Mother? You know Dad carried me downstairs last night to see it."
 Who's talking about me:" Dicky asked from the doorway, and as soon as I could get away I left my small son with his father and went back to Marys room to find Katie in possession with all her cleaning day paraphernalia around her.
 Have you changed you'd cleaning day for this floor Katie?" asked her in astonishment.
 No. l no change me-" Katie answered. her head lifted | bit de- tiantly. but dose girls all time in rooms shoost ven want clean. Me, I tink today goot time to clean vile dey gone Riverhead."

 Good Investment
 As one can buy so cheaply at sales, and often at other times, s it worth while to make a dress at home? It takes time to make 1t and the bare materials cost almost as much. Besides. the homemade garment s not apt to have .the right effect. If one has . pro- nounced talent for dressmaking. with the many good patterns to be had, all will be we'll.
