That flood roads are closely related to prosperity there is no question of doubt. Only a few years ago this section of Virginia had hut one niacad- I am road, one creamery, which went | to the wall, and a mere handful of pure-bred dairy cattle, writes C. C. Conger, Jr.. of Virginia in tlie Practical Farmer. One not familiar with' tlie many blessings good roads bring about might wonder in what way good roads would affect creameries and pure-bred cows. Let us take, for*in- | stance,- Rockingham county, and see j just what good roads did in this section in the dairy business alone, to say nothing of the prosperity good roads brought about in various other ways. Previous to our good roads the one creamery did some business during the summer months, when the dirt roads were at their best, hut business dwindled to nothing during the winter months because farmers could not get over the roads to deliver their milk. The creamery finally closed down for the lack of milk. About this time a mere handful of progressive farmers began a movement for better roads calling a meeting at a little village centrally located in the county, xne attendance was good, and a great deal of "good roads" enthusiastn wa> i aroused. It was the first step in better roads that gained impetus by leaps and bounds. Today, iu a few short years, we have a network of fine macadam roads throughout tiie entire county. Following good roads cann | creameries. They sprang up over nighlike mushrooms, till today the count> is dotted with creameries, the sight ot which does not look much like elos ing down for the lack of milk, particularly during the early hours of the day, when auto trucks are pouring in from the country, bringing milk from every nook and corner of the county. Pure-bred cows came with the creameries. till today scruh stock no longer dominates our farms. Ask any farmer why he disposed of his scrub cows, replacing them with pure breds, and he will tell you the creameries did It. Stretch of Hard Surface Road in Virginia. Ask liini what brought the creameries, and he will tell you better roads. While milk has slumped somewhat at times in this section, it has never halted the dairy business, and farmers are now reporting fair profits in dairying. The wealth that good roads has brought to this section in dairying alone is astonishing. We are Striving for more wealth and prosperity by building still more good roads. Kxperience has taught us that good roads, wealth and prosperity go hand in hand. ROAD MARKERS AID TOURISTS Trunk Highways Designated by Num. ber to Correspond With One on Official Map. Since the adoption of a standardized system of highway markers by the state of Wisconsin, five other states and Kngland have followed the model plan.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INILRNATIONAl Sunday School ' Lesson' (By REV. P. B. F1TZWATER. D. D.. Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (?, 1921. Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 2 PAUL IN CORINTH. LESSON TEXT-Acta 18:1-23. GOLDEN TEXT?I determined not to know anything among you. save Jt-sus Christ, and him crucified.?I Cor. 2:2. REFERENCE MaTERIAL-I Cor. 2:1-6; 4:12; II Co. 11:7-9. PRIMARY TOPIC ? Tentmaking and leach.ng. JUNIOR TOPIC ? Paul Working and Preaching In Corinth. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ?Teaching and Tentmaking in Corinth. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Paul in a Commercial Center. The establishment of the church at Corinth is an example of missionary endeavor for all apes. The method employed, which resulte-l in success then, will result in success now. I. The True Missionary Method (w. 1-3). Paul came to Corinth a stranger in a strange city. He did not have an advance agent to do his advertising; neither did lie have his photograph put ii: the daily paper with sensational announcements, upon his arrival In ( orinth. lie did not have a trained singer with him; neither did he have his salary guaranteed. His method in gaining a foothold in Corinth was as follows: 1. Finding a home (v. 2). This he found with Aquila and Priscilla, Jews who were recently expelled from Borne by the cruel edict of Claudius. Ileing Jews, he found natural affinity with them. 2. He toiled ffcr his daily bread (v. ft). He was of the same craft with them, being tentrnakers. Every child among the Jews was taught some trade by menns of which he could gain a livelihood should occasion require. One of the rabbis said thnt he who failed to teach his boy a trade taught him to steal. II. Preaching In the Synagogue at Corinth (vv. 4-8). 1. Though compelled to toil for a living while getting a foothold In Corinth, he did not lose sight of his main work (v. 4). He reasoned in tbp svnnrnirup every Sabbath, parseding the Jews and Greeks. In this respi-ei lie was like William "Carey, the cobbler. When Carey was asked what his business was he replied that preaching the gospel was his business, but that he cobbled to make expenses. While the missionary should not be above honest toll when necessity arises, he should not allow toil to interfere with the preaching of the gospei. 2. His activity was Increased when Silas and Timothy came (v. 5). This resulted from three causes: (1) They brought good news from the church at inessaionica u 'mess. a:uj. in near of the steadfastness of tltose who had confessed (tirlst under our ministry puts new vigor Into our labors. (2) They brought pecuniary >rifts from the Macedonian churches (Philip. 4:15; II Cor. 11:0). Heine relieved from the necessity of toil for a living, they now | could devote more time and energy to the preaching of the gospel. (3) Silr.s and Timothy became assistants to Paul in the work, thereby strengthening Ids hands so ns to enable him to accentuate his efforts. 8. Paul opposed (v. 0). His Increnseo activity was met with increased opposition. This can always he expected. 4. Paul announces his purpose to turn to the Gentiles (v. (?). P.eeause of their hlashphemy and opposition he ceased to work among the Jews. There is a time when good judgment causes one to abandon work where efforts huve been fruitless, hut it Is difficult to know Just when to do it. 5. He did not go far away (v. 7). He remained sufficiently nenr that those whose hearts God touched could 1 easily find him. It is likewise true that although Christ is obliged to depnrt from the soul that refuses Him entrance. He lingers with yearning 1 love around that 1 cart: C. His success (v. 8). Crlspus. the j chief ruler of thd synagogue, was converted. Perhaps the severity of his j action In turning away from them moved Crlspus to action. Pressure for immediate decision is helpful to some?they realize It Is now or never. Many otners followed the example of Crispus. Paul varied from his ustinl custom and baptized Crispus (I Cor. 1:14). III. Paul's Vision (w. 0-11). Ilis experiences since coming to Eui rope were very trying. lie needed encouragement at this time. It is just : like the I.ord to come at the time of I tiie servant's greatest need. .Note the i Lord's words to him: 1. "He not afraid." When one Is i executing the commission of the Lord he need not he afraid. 2. "Speak, and hold not thy pence." The one who lias henrd the voice of Clod cannot refrain from speaking? cannot he still. 3. "I am with thee." The Lord Is with everyone who faithfully carries out his commission. 4. "No man shall set on thee to hurt thee." The one sent by the Lord to do a work Is immuno f. am danger and I harm until rus worn is u??ur. i B. "I have much people in tliis city." I It is most encouraging to know that In the great cities the Lord luis His own people and that the one who poos In His name shall have fruit for his service. Those Three Good Men. The word of the Lord came apain unto me. saying, son of man, when the land slnneth against me by trespassinp previously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon if, and will break the staff of the bread, thereof, and will send famine upon if and will cut off man and beast from it: thouph these three men Noah.

Starting out with beautiful fabrics. In quiet colors, joining forces with fur in collars, cuffs and trimming, taking to themselves rich embroideries, this year's coats are of a richness and elegance that is sure to please. In addition to these things, coats are made in at least four distinct styles, with an occasional model that differs from those that may be classed under one of four types. The coat at the left of the two pictured Is made of brown duvetyn and trimmed with brown curacul fur in uiiuus ijhil i-Aifuu up me iiuiu, aruuiKi the collar and on the sleeves. The SPIRITED ANETLO SMILE IN 1 I THE melancholy days have come as usual, but they are having n hard time of it. These are the days when we meet our best friends returning from the milliner's with a huthnx in hand and a smile of satis- | faction radiating about them that no ' melancholy day can eclipse. It is be- , cause in the endless variety of hats there is one for every type of face? one that enhances its good points, is kind to its faults and has a charm to lend to its wearer. The majority of shapes for fall are medium or small and they are graceful and spirited. Ilats reveal much hand-work and employ many materials and trimmings. Among materials, duvetyn and similar fabrics rival velvet and there are familiar and unfamiliar trimmings, the latter including small metallic and cellophane ornaments. ('ire ribbons nrtd lace# are .nut ostrich returns to favor In plumes and "fancies"?that Is, ornaments made of ostrich flues?sometimes plntined or metallized. The group of huts pictured begins with a small shape covered with any of the millinery fabrics and supporting one of those long ostricli bands ' Just described.

The novel, high collar Is not neglected in this generous dispensation of fur and Is a feature that absorbs much of the coat designer's attention, like the wide sleeves that are characteristic of this season. In the coat pictured they have a plaiting of the fabric below the band of fur as a finish. In the model at the right the coat simulates a long blouse, and Its * full sleeves are gathered into deep cuffs. Its capacious collar is embroidered and may be brought up and fastened about the throat. In black j velours, or similar cloths, with gray embroidery, it would be hard to excel this wrap.

London.?England's great estates are crumbling under the weight of taxation and death duties and one big landed proprietor after another among the nobility is dividing and selling his holdings, many of which have been in the hands of single families for centuries. The latest indication that peers are finding It necessary to seek smaller homes comes in the announcement of the duke of Portland that he may have to abandon his palatial mansion, Welbeck Abbey, in Nottinghamshire. This is only one of tlie residences of the duke, who owns some 200,000 acres in England. Duke Expresses Fears. "For centuries past landed estates have been handed down from generation to generation." said the duke, addressing his tenants on the occasion of the coming of age of his son Lord Francis Cavendish. "Landlords and tenants have lived on terms of mutual trust and affection. I fear, however, that the state of things is passing away, for with the present weight of taxation and the extremely onerous death duties, the future may become
