Ho thought a moment yr boforo answering: "Tho teacher i .said, 'Don't got scared, you'll got your quilt."

A Httlo later tho little girl, aged seven, with whom lie had been to Sunday-school, camo to play with tho boy. Sho was ask ed what tho Sunday-school lesson was about. Sho navo tho correct version: "Fear not, tho Comforter will come." Thcro's nothing to equal tho Yan Itcp senso of humor. Ono of tho boys In tho trenches, who has oI dently been preatly troubled 'by cooties, says ho knows now why tho pictures of Napoleon always show him with his hand insldo his shirt.

Doctor (half hour later) : "Why didn't you send for mo sooner? You should not havo waited till your husband was unconscious."

"What do you mean, nlggah?" asked Moso; "you mean thirty conts." , There is a worthy movement on foot for better roads. Every busi ness man, every home provider, and every motorist should support it. Good roads benefit all classes of people in tholr everyday life. This vast country has grown so enormously and so fast that Its railroads cannot deliver tho goods, nor carry the peoplo as tho prosperl ty of the country and present de mands require. With good roads tho farmor can deliver all his products direct to towns within a radius of fifty or moro miles and though making moro profit himsolf, ho Is reducing tho high cost of living. Tho merchant is ablo to take ad vantage of new sources ot supply, lo buy his stock under favorable conditions, and glvo it on sale to his customers in less time than ho could havo secured delivery by tho slower and costlier railway express and freight service. With motor' trucks he can then redeliver to hW1 customers and glvo better sorvlco over a larfeer territory. Automo bile delivery will increase his busi ness, lessen his cost, and Increase his profits. Millions of dollars aro lost every year through perishable goods spoiling on tho railroads bocauso of freight delays and complications. Intercity motor express over dis tances of a hundred or moro miles has already become a profitable business whero good roads exist. Single large firms havo actually saved over ? 100,0 00 yearly by us ing motor trucks and they will us- doubtedly contribute largely to or ganized Improvement of roads. Good roads aro a paying invest ment. Local authorities in cities, towns and counties should act with out delay to meet tho growing na tional and local demands beforo traldo iocs in other directions. It is almost impossible to get back tho lost advantage after other dis tricts havo won it. Good roads .bring nutomoblllsts. They spend money. Good roads bring trade, and increase property values. They attract homo-sookors and industries. This ccjintry has more than six million automobile owners, ono to every eighteen of tho population, and about fifteen of those ride in automobiles. Own ers will not go whero bad roads ox i and risk costly damage to tholr car, not only to tires but to tho bat tery equipment used for starting, lighting) jand, ignition. With igni tion gono wrong a car cannot trav el, tnough that difficulty Is rarely ox porlenced if magneto Ignition is used.
