"I am <>niy too ready 1? tell yon."
said Daddy Fox, "for we Tin- famous

"Hut that isn't the way they use the

speak of a cunning fox.
"Then they mean a crafty creature- ?
' one who can look after himself and
fool the other fellow.
: "That's what a fox is:"
j "Fine," said the little fox. as his
small eyes shone very brightly, and
; had a cruel look in them :is well.

Well to Inculcate
Pride in Ancestry
It i* urged in defense r,f tti?* lotvly
am! in disparagement ??f iii" well born
tlint a mini cannot select his ances
tors, but as a matter of fact a mail
friipienlly does.
Take the case of the man whose
grcal-great-greii-grandsire was a not
ed u*o?*ral. Tliis man had two grand
fathers. four great-grandfathers. eight
great-great-grandfathers and Hi great
great great-grandfathers, of whom the
general was one. Kaeh of the li? liad
a wife, so III jit the man's cosmos eon
tains hut o|M>lthli'ty->ecoiid pari of the
general. When bJood gets s?. thin It
leaves little trace, jtjiii .yet. this man
sele?ij? th? general as his ancestor
and says nothiiug <>t' the others.
The- reason i>- ohvioiis. The others
were, nobodies. We have, then, a man
whn is one pa -t general and .".1 parts
nobody; and iet in many ways he
seems to be. : lie general come to life
main. He has the general's pride and
manners and love of decency;
At first glance this seems a puzzle,
Snt th.? solution is simple.
The general, being tin; one ancestor
that family pride ??ares to remember,
has been talked about and presented
to ehlldren as a model for many gen
erations. The gentleman is like the
general because the general jras used
as a , pattern In shaping Ids life.
The general's pride that he seems
to Inherit Is not an inheritance. It Is
a homegrown pride, based on the fact
<?f the general. The man says to him
nelf: "I am descended from a gen
' eral ; that's who I am." Wherefore
he carries his heud high anil looks
the world In the face. Hut If there
was no blood connection, and the man
merely thought there was, his pride
would' be no less.
Which brings us at last fo the point:
"A.-j a man thlnkcth in his heart, so Is
he." The well botn have a tremendous
i advantage merely because they have
something to live up to. And parents
render a genuine service when they
forget the nobodies on the family tree
and .preserve the few Somebodies to
inspire the k: Is. An ancestor Is
worth wliilaf If he er.n stitTen the back
bone of a modern who might not be
worth a whoop without family pride
to keep iiirtl deceiit and set hiin a

How Much Are
Poor Roads
Costing You?
5,000,000 of America's 18,000.000 motor vehi
cles are recognized as an economic necessity on
the farm.
Is your car giving the full efficiency of which
it is capable ? and at the lowest cost per mile
possible?
Not if you are jolting over bumps and ruts.
Not if you get stuck in the mud.
In addition to the time you thus lose along the
way, you also pay from one to four cents a mile
more in gasoline, tire and repair bills than you
would pay on permanently paved highways.
Think, too, how many so- called improved
roads have gone to pieces within the past few
years, thereby piling up huge maintenance and
rebuilding costs.
Contrast all this with the record ?{ Concrete
Roads ? the roads that have repair built out and
maintenance built in. Firm, rigid and unyielding,
free of bumps, ruts, holes, mud and dust, they
are, in every way, the most economical roads.
Tell your highway officials you want more
Concrete Roads. Such an investment will pay
you big dividends year after year.
