' Do you know that a hen lays eggst" asked the little miss of the conductor. He did, but he wasn't going to admit it. 'Do heyT' he asked, appearing surprised. And then that little girl who had never before seen what true country life was like, went on to tell the con ductor that she thought eggs had al ways grown on trees. Everything is a source of wonder to the youngsters brought up in sur roundings of filth and dirt. The sur prise of the boy who npon seeing a cow milked' for the rtrst time, and bis comment that in the eity the milk came from the wagons simply shows how delightfully new the country is to them."

Estimating that one out of five of the 500.000 automobiles in use in this country ie employed in inter- State travel, Senator Simmons ex pressed the opinion in a speech in the Senate last week that a million dollars nually cau be raised for the improvement of wagon roads by im posing a license tax of $10 each on such machines. He also prophesied that the improvement of the roads would have the effect of greatly in creasing automobile 'travel and there fore of enchantiug the fund. The proposition for an inter-State tax on auios is emUraeedi in a oiu of which the North Carolina Senator is the author and which proposes the appropriation of $1,000,000 annually for the benelit or tlie roaas on wmen tho rural mails are carried. Mr. Sim mons contended for the equity of the general scheme because of the use or the roads by the government and also because of the benefit hat would ac crue to the farmers of the country. The argument was advanced that the national government was under as srreat obligation to aid the farm ers as to aid other classes, and man ufacturers, ihe Western railroads and rivers and harbors were mentionea as instances of the Benefit of govern ment aid. - Mr. Simmons said that of the 2, 150.000 miles of ddrt road the gov eminent is using one million in car rvine the mails and contended that it was under obligation to the farm ers to aid in maintaining them. The saving made by a general improve ment of the highways was placed at $10,000,000 to $150,000,000 annually. He estimated that the proper impove ment at the wacon roads would save the farmers $300,000,000 to $400,000, 000 in ihe cost of transporting their crop.
