Good roads have reduced the
average automobile operating
cost from lO^cents a mile to six
and one-half cents in the last five
years, according to an authorita-
tive report. Savings] are effected
in gasoline and wear and tear on
tires and| machinery. As well,
the good roads provides greater
comfort and safety. It has long
been observed that good roads
pay for themselves many times
over. They are not an . expense,
but a dividend-returning invest-
ment. Wider trunk roads and
waterproof surfaces on thousands
of miles of secondary or farm
market roads is of main import-
ance today in any well balanced
road building program.
Little "Marie" Jones small son
of Mr. and Mrs. Doc Jones of this
city had the misfournate being
ran over early Monday afternoon
while the V little \ fellow was re-
turning back to school. "Macie"
was making an attempt to cross
the street*inIfront'of. the Champ-
lin Filling Station when his fath-
ers Ford , car hit him knocking
him down and-running*over him,
at first it was . thought that the
little fellows teg "was broken'and
that the back of the skull slight-
ly'crushed but afterja close ex-
amination by.Drs. Markley and
Hill, local.Physicans,' itwas re-
ported that.the little fellow was
just terribly bruised. This
should be a i warning to other
children that have been in the
habit of playing more or less out
in the streets, also extra pre-
caution should be used,by the
little folks in crossing streets as
*rell as all auto drivers. Lime
Light wishes little "Macie" a
most speedy recovery.
There's something' hard to un-
derstand sabout 'this season of the
year. [Nobody , has7taken the
time:to go Jinto it,"this; thing of
men's hearts warming toward
each other a^ they do at no other
tinje, and yet no one questions its
connection «• with"; that event of
more than 1900 years ago when a
new promise was 'given to the
world. Maybe]it;'is Just as well
The fact that every ; hearths soft-
er; that fa new feeling of peace
and.happiness '{spreads over the
world, is enough for us to know.
We are content to feeUt, this
thing we'call^the Christmas Spirit
- and once more we are glad to
welcome it: into, our hearts. It
serVes to make us forget for the
moment the sadness that may
have come into our homes or the
homes of those near and dear to
us, as we approach the end of the
year. It serves to detract from
the long, hard hours of toil that
have been our share in the life of
the community. Every; loss we
may have suffered, every cloud
that mayL have obscured our sky,
is dispelled now as we feel the ap-
proach of Christmas, and we find
a youthfulness of heart that pas-
seth understanding. "Count
your blessings" is a saying as old
as the hills, and never was there
a more appropriate time for doing
so. Count them, 'weigh'! them
against any ■' woe that may have
come to you in-< the year. Then
from a heart now, filled with the
Christmas Spirit will come songs
of gladness, for'all of us have
much cause for rejoicing; all of us
can find ample reason for the
smiles that are'so much a part of
Christmas. We forget the woes,
the dark clouds !and the hours of
sadness as the old message of
"peace on earth, good will toward
men" rings out again. And our
lips form the greeting to neigh-
bors and friends—"A Merry
Christmas to you and yours."
We find happiness in devoting
this small measure of space to ex-
tending this world-wide greet-
ing to the p*e o pie of
Follett and surrounding territory.
We find joy in wishing happiness
for all of you. We are glad for-
tune favors us with your greetings
and your smiles. To you, one
and all—a Merry Christmas.
May it find you light of heart,
content of soul and hopeful of a
future that surely must hold for
you the blessings to which hearts
like yours are entitled.
Been putting off.all summer some improve-
ments!that will give the home a more cozy at
mosphere?

What had you in mind?
