The business man and tlie farmer
are both vitally Interested in the
question of good roads. It Is ono
place where they ought to meet on
common ground, and pat their best

roads lighten the burdens of the farm-

the town Into which they lead.

charged Marian to wash herself well,
and to get carefully out of the tub,
