'Hope deferred makcth the hc.-ut
Kick,' nays the proverb but," said Mr.
/iliinmerton, "It has never struck nuj
that way. If I con Id have nil my hopes
fulfilled I feel that I Bhould be dull and
logy, satiated, without Interest, bin
with hope deferred I have always
something to look forward to. Am.
has it not often happened that rcali
zatlon has proved less joyous than an
ticipation? Why, certainly. We ma
find success when we reach it but an
••»mpty shell and laugh to think that
we bad straggled for it so eagerly.
Hope's the thing.

GREAT ROAD BUILDING TEAR
Thousands of Miles of Improvement
Arranged and More Will
Surely Follow.
From the passage of the federal
aid road act to December 15, 1918,
755 projects were approved by the
.secretary of sigriculture. These
projects Involve the improvement of
7,8G7 miles of public roads at a total
estimated cost of $57,032,000, of which
the federal government has been re
quested to contribute $21,602,000.
There have been actually completed
to date twelve projects! involving a
total of fifty-one miles of road, cost
ing approximately $617,548, and on
which federal aid in the amount of
$260,660.19 was paid.
Altogether there are more than
7,500 miles of road, for which most
of the steps preliminary to construc
tion have been taken so far as the
bureau of public roads is concerned.
Numerous other projects not yet re
ported to the department have" been
completed or are under construction,
so that the sum total of the road
work now in progress under ieral
aid is greater than appears in this
summary.
From Florida to Maine, through the
North to the Pacific coast and down
to Mexico road building work is go
ing on. Every state has accepted its
contribution from the government,
and while no organized effort has
been made along those lines to the
present time, the states are working
gradually to the system of national
highways.
Coupled with plans already out*
lined for expenditures on the roads
is the legislative program now before
congress, which provides for $500,
000,000 to be expended over a period
of seven years by federal aid. It is
estimated that in the event of the
passage of this bill, which would

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Increased 8upply of Fresh Veoetablee
May Be Obtained By Applying
to Garden (toil.
The droppings from fowls, if care
fully saved and applied to the garden
•oil, will Increase the supply of fresh
vegetables. Poultry manure is rich in
nitrogen and Is well worth the effort
It requires to save and apply. The
droppings from an average farm flock
will amount to considerable fertility
during the year.
