ROADS AVKRK GOOD ENOUGH
A worker for good roads in the re
cent campaign bumped into an argu
ment against good roads that he
could not answer. He had been telling
the people if they voted for hard
surfaced highways it would add to
ihe value of their land. He accosted
a well-to-do farmer in a northern
township.
"You're going to vote for good
roads, aren't you. Bill?"
"No."
"Why not?"
'You said it would increase the
price of land, didn't you?"
'To be sure," replied the good roads
man. "and it will.
"That's why I'm against it."
"That's a queer objection."
"No, it isn't" returned the farmer.
"You see. this is good land all about
here and it's selling too low. I want j
t-> get a lot more of it this year, and |
of course. I want to get it as low as j
possible. If your good roads propo- |
sition carries it will go up $lO an |
acre. Now. it will take me perhaps a I
year to get what I want. After that
i ll sign up for good roads."—Kan- |
sas City Star.
A FAR CRY
The two friends met on the street j
as they were hurrying to their respec- i
tive offices one morning.
"Hello. Linder. old man!" cried,
one as he grasped the other's hand.
Congratulations. X hear you have a I
new youngster at your home."
The new father glanced around ap- ;
prehenslvely. "For heaven's sake, you
can't hear him way up here, can
you?"— Cleveland Plain Dealer.
JUST WHAT I)II SHE MEAN.
Hewitt —My wife is a cheerful sort j
of companion.
Jewett—How is that?
Hewitt—l told her I had taken out
a twenty-year endowment on my j
life, and she said that she hoped 1 j
wouldn't mature before the policy;
did. —Ontario Post.
VETERAN FIGHTER
"Is your sister's new beau a veteran
of the great war?" we asked.
"No," replied Mr. Ike Van Quentin. j
"The fiercest fight he was ever in |
was with his brother-in-law over the
privilege of paying a lunch check."—|
