She was charming, In her own youthful, im- pulsive way. But she wasn't re- motely like Imogene. She was cute and small, where Imogene was stately; she chattered necessarily, gayly, where Imogene smiled im- periously; she was naively inter- ested in anything and everything, where ImogeneN was remote and sophisticated.

Good Evening.

I wandered one day to the hills before dawn, And watched till the stars in bright array were gone Then came that moment when all nature IS stlii' , So quiet. and deathike the suspense made thrill When slowly as it sank on the previous night, The sun in it's splendor peeped into sight As it's rosy fingers softly touched the dew, flood of exutance pierced me through and through. But lustrous Aurora with her rosy hue, Unfolds her beauty appreciated by few The world had rather sleep until the sun IS high Than arise to marvel at the birth of the sky.

DAKOTANS DELVE
 FOR GRAVEL BEDS TO BUILD ROADS

BISMARCK, --.D.. Nov. S.--They are prospecting in North Dakota not for gold, oil or gems-but for gravel, so motorists in the state may ride in greater comfort. M
 Through the hills and over the plains, prospectors follow trail ages old and rich in deposits of gravel, crushed by the mass of mov- ing ice in the ege of glaciers.
 Trained in the art of gravel-field detection, these bands of men are employed by the state for no other purpose. Daily they search that North Dakota motorists may ride more comfortably.
 From their labors has come the saving of fortune for the state more than $1,OOo,000 in costs of gravel
 Once North Dakota paid from five to Is cents yard for gravel. The cost now is as little as two cents yard, according to J. N Roherty, re- search engineer of the state high way commission.
