The farm-to-market road movement is coming in for increasing attention and mdre and more communities are finding 'that full-width, weatherproof, all-year- round roads are essential to agri culture in this modern age. It might be said that the money we spend for roads gives us a bet ter return than almost any other form of government tax expendi- tures.-Quick and economical trans port, of goods and persons, is vital to social and economic progress. Particularly is this true of those rural areas where roads have been in essentially the same state of un improvement since the ,horse-and- wagon days. Only by building In expensive, but 'good roads, can farming sections be given a place in the march forward.

JOHN GOLDEN, who is a swell fellow as well as a smart one, told me that when he was in Chicago producing Turn to the Right one of the theatre attendants came to him and said a visitor wanted vx> see him. ‘ What does he want?” asked John. “He wants to read you a play.” JoL”* threw his hands in the air. He was having enough troubles putting on one play without letting some unknown author inflict an other. The author returned two or three times, but John refused to see him'. When the job in Chicago was done, he boarded a train and shut himself up in a drawing room tired out. There came a timid knock; the door opened, and tlvough it walkd a young man with bushy hair,, who looked fresh from .he farm. “Mr. Golden, my name is McAvoy,” ho said. “You were too busy to see me in Chicago, so I found out what trahTiyou were taking and I bought a ticket and want to ride with you as far as Cleveland. I want wO read you :ny play.” John fussed and fumed, but finally surrendered. The young man smarted to read, but John’s tired nind absorbed lothing. After a while the young man said: “Any time you are not Inter ested, I’ll stop.” “You can stop right now then,” John answered. With a pained look, the young man put away the manuscript and started for the platform. The train was pulling into Gary. He step ped off. took another train, and rode patiently back to Chicago- When the next theatrical season opened in New York, John saw in he papers the advertisement of a play called The Potters. "Hie au thor’s name struck him—McAvoy. Could it be the same young man who had bored him from Chicago to Gary? It was the same young man. The play ran for months. If John had listened to McAvoy he would have added another big hit to his list of successes. If, when I was editing a magazine, I had taken time to glance at a certain manuscript which came in from an unknown writer, I should have had the satisfaction of publishing The Sport of Kiftgs, the story that started Arthur Somers Roche on the road to fame. If I had listened carefully to .what -the president of a certain big company was saying to me one affernoon I might have made a great many thousand dollars. If ... if ... if ... we all have ilese bothersome little words In our record. It’s folly to waste time regretting them. The only intelli gent attitude is to say: '‘While I could have done much better, still I have had my share of good luc>. and' shall not grumble. Only, in the future, 171 try a little harder to keep my eyes and ears open” For it is very difficult to tell when some wild, and'; annoyhig visitor may be trying to force fortune upon: us;.
