She waa real pretty and so fall of fun that the dimples .were always showing in her round, red cheeks. Her eyes were big and brown, and her nut colored hair curled naturally la little ringlets over her forehead and ears. She was Just eighteen when we first met her and so neat and attractive that one would think she belonged to the well to do class of working people, but when we followed her to her home one day we confronted startling facta. : The red In her cheeks waa the flush of unnatural Inward fever,, the high spirits were a pitiful antidote to piti less conditions, and the big brown eyes saw only squalor when they were not Jlxed, jnpan, a typewriting machine or closed persistently to any view but an Imaginary bright one, v -t The room we entered waa a general living space, used also as an eating. cooking and Bleeping apartment There was but one bed, and Betty had to sleep in It with her mother, who was too weak to alt up. An open cuspidor sat where It would be conveniently near the bed, which placed it by the stove, where their food was cooked. The mother, who was suffering in an advanced stage of tuberculosis, did not use coia air, ana ner querulous de mands caused Betty to keep the door and windows closed. weu," saia cneerrui Betty, with a laugh, "that isn't so bad as not having any windows or doors to close. Is it? Things might be worse. . ''Infinitely worse," said .the Wise One. "Ton might even take a notion to stuff the windows and doors with rags to cut out what oxygen comes In through the cracks.", 7 Red Cross Christmas Seals, with their cheery message of hope, gave Betty a chance to get well after her mother died.

Cross Christmas Seals?" reiterated a good natored old cobbler as he looked up from the shoe he was repairing to the person who stood blocking the doorway of the lit tle shop and who had asked the ques tion originally. "I don't know of them. What are they for?" he asked. When told that the little stickers were being Bold all over the United States to raise money to prevent tuber culosis the cobbler became very much Interested. - "Now, I call that a good cause," he drawled. "I don't write any letters, and I don't send any Christmas packages. There's Just me and the old woman left I can't use my seals that way, but I'll tell yea how I can use them. I will stick a seal on the sole of every shoe I tap.' RED PRESIDENT WIL80N ON ' :, CROSS SEALS, As an expression of his interest In the Red Cross Seal and Anti-tuberculosis Campaign President 1 Wilson re-, cently wrote to the National Associa tlon For the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis: "May I not take this occasion to ex press to you my deep interest In the work of tie National Anti-tuberculosis association and my hope that its work Is growing in efficiency and; extent from year to year? May I not particu larly express my Interest 1n the Red Cross Christmas Seal, whose sale has been' the means of raising funds for the work? .. "It seems to me that this la a par ticularly Interesting and sensible way of enabling the people of the coun try to give this great work their sup port''. . ' . . . ' I . torn Back acmx hiouto losu Benefit of Roads to Nonabut-1 Spring Creek Letter ting Property Owners! I The road-building: specialists of tlie department, in Bul letin No. 136, entitled "Highway Bonds,' have the fol lowing to say about the benefit of a well-constructed highway to property owners whose property ia not di rectly on the road to be improved; ' . In planning the highway system of the main mar ket roads it will be found necessary to omit many reads the improvement of which is greatly desired by abutting landowners. The f n c t that such property holders must pay a tax for the bond issue is only an apparent injustice, for if the highway system is well planned the entire county will feel the benefits of the improvement. As a rule, main market roads reach the majority of producing areas, and when they are im proved all land values tond to increase. The fact that cities and larger towns are frequent- ly taxed for bond issues to build highways outside 'of their own limits is sometimes made a point of debate in bond elections. It is argued that because a large part of the county wealth it within the corporate limit . of such cities and towns highway bond money should also be .used to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be made proportionate to . the assessed valuation within the city limits. If t h e proceeds of highway bond issues were distributed in this way, their purpose in many cases would be defeat ed. The primary object of the county highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to im prove city streets, although a high percentage of the ' assessed valuation may be city property. It is now known that the expenditure fit .city tax!es on country ' roads is a sound principle and that it is one of the best features of State aid for highways; In Massachusetts the city of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent of t h e total State highway fund, but not a mile of, State-aid highway has been built within its limits. New York City also pays about 60 per cent of the cost of the State highway bonds. Some State laws prohibit the expendi ture of proceeds of State highway bonds within corpo . rate limits of cities or towns. The improvement of market roads results in im proved marketing conditions, which benefit the city. Most eities are essentially dependent upon the i sur rounding country for their prosperity a n d develop ment The development of suburban property for re sidence purposes is also dependent upon highway con ditions, and it is becoming evident yearly that what ever makes for an increase in rural population must be encouraged. Since the introduction of motor traffic country highways are iised to an increasing extent by city residents." In fact, the cost of maintaining many country highways has been greatly increased by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general . advance in facilities for doing country business from jtown headquarters when roads are improved is no in considerable factor in the commerical life of the community. In spite of the rainy weather during the first part of the day, last Friday was fully- observed by th e teachers and pupils of Spring Creek High School as "Clean-up Day." The rain kept three fourths of the children from school, but those few who braved tte muddy roads and the down pour of rain and answered to the roll call on Friday morning re sponded loyally to the call for work in the afternoon. The girls gave the house a thorough clean ing while the boys spent the aft ernoon inapt oving the' school grounds and the roads leading to the school building. Although the patrons of the school did not respond enthusias tically to the call of the school authorities for help in the work of cleaning up, yet the children and young people who were pre sent at school were proud to as sist in beautifying the! r own school building and grounds and to do somethingttoward improv- wort together as befits rne and noble Christian leaders for that one great purpose of all cbrlst ainitj to help the needy and to save souls. ; - Mr. McKinney, the aged and afflicted father of Mrs. Emma Duckett, died last Friday night after a protracted illness.
