It is not what we conceived and hoped to achieve, hut there were difticul- , ties to encounter that we could not anticipate and it was only hy strenuous effort that we got the issue out at all; that is, anything like 011 schedule time. After getting all the type set we had to put the pu|>er on the press five times, which means that approximately ten thousand pajM-rs were handled before the ^ printing was completed?this v gives some idea of the mechanical work involved. Then the lithographed covers were delayed in transit, so that we could not gel the first side on the press until Tuesday afternoon, just one - day later than we expected. In the face of conditions, we have done our l?est and it might have Ihvu decidedly worse. *** ?- > . .1 i l. \> l."

Is the movement for a safe ant! sune fourt!) of July to be followed by one for'an economical Christmas? IX> the majority of people feel tlpit the Christmas present has been as much overdone as the firecracker, the toy cannon and the plnwheel? It must lto understood In the outset ! that the movement to eurtail Christmas giving has no relation to the children. The Joy of the little ones In their Santa Claus and his bounty is too beautiful a thing to disturb. It ts only the presents to the grownups, to every Tom. Dick and Harry with I whom one happens to be acquainted.1 the presents that are a burden and a bore both to giver and recipient, that j It is proposed to abaudon. Frequently these are given through a sense of duty and cannot be afforded by the donor. Just as frequent-' ly they are uot needed by the one on whom they are bestowed.* Thus the outlay is not justified. It is a depriva- i tion to one without any corresponding benefit to the other. The recipient in I turn feels it a duty to make presents to the giver, presents that perhaps he can as little atTord and that his friend as little needs. Thus .both have had td make sacrifices for which they have received no equivalent good. It Is this sort of giving when we expect a re-! turn, this giving through a sense of past or prospective obligation, against wbk-b there is widespread revolt. It Is not in harmony with the Christmas spirit. It is commercial, onerous and lacking in spontaneity. ' It makes us dread the return of the holiday when we should welcome it with joy. Fortunately the habit is dying out Without any preconcerted movement to that end it is still being dropped by mutual couseut. A has reached the point of insurgency where he doesn't give a hang whether B remembers him or not. lie will not rack bis brain and deplete bis pocketbook buying unwelcome things for B. only to cause B In turn to hurl, perhaps grudgingly, equally unwelcome things at his own head. All unkuowu to A the same insurgency has been working in the heart of B. and the irrational custom falls of Its own weight. In consequence the day on which we celebrate the birth of the Son of .Man ceases to be a bargain couuter exchange. With the children it Is different. We give to them l'or the pure joy of it. without any hope of return. We enter Into their joys ami partake of the Christmas spirit by sharing it with them. Thus we unconsciously fulfill the comma ml of him in whose honor the day is celebrated and veritably be ome as little children J. A. EDCtSIlTOX. 1 e , . J. t ? ? V* HANDY ROAD TOOL Combination Device For Whipping Dirt Highways Into Shape. We recently visited a model farm, and one of the most attractive features about it was the condition in which the roads, both on the farm ami the adjacent highway, were kept by use of the split log drag. This Is a matter of real economy, as well as of good looks. A visit to aaother farm showed a modified device which we had never seen used elsewhere and which is the invention of the owner, says a writer in the Kansas Farmer. It is so effective that a drawlug of it Is shown herewith. It is really a combination of harrow and split log drag. The harrow teeth are attached iu such a manner that they can be let down and the implement used as a barrow only, or the teeth can be raised and the Implement used as a drag only. If the teeth are set level with the bottom of the drag It forms an excellent clod CSEFCL IMPLEMENT FOB EAHTH I'-OALS. crusher, and Its weight Is such that It cau be nicely handled with an ordinary farm team. There are certain roads which require a good deal of whipping into shape before they become good dirt roads. This wnr'c can be done by a split log drag if time is taken for it. It cau be done more readily by the combination implement herewith Illustrated. as will be shown on a trial. As this implement has a value In the field that is equaled by that on the road, it may be considered a distinct improvement over both the ordinary split log drag and the harrow. The drawing is sufficiently plain to show the method of construction, and the cost for the Iron attachments for holding the teeth need not be great. The teeth, of course, can be set In a wooden frame, though they are less satisfactory so because less readily adjustable. This implement has been used on the farm where it was made for a num-' ber of years and has been found equal-1 ly effective in the field and 011 the road. ; KEEP OUT OF RUTS. In That Way Motorists Will Make Highways Better. Few problems with which the motorist has to cope have proved mon.i| refractory than that of Improving the roads. It is so unwieldly a situation to handle and Its ramifications extend into sucli a multitude of tangles in the field of legislation and of public sentiment that progress has now been slow indeed. None the less it is possible for each automobile owner here and now to give practical assistance to the movement If he only will. Those who have carefully studied the road maintenance problem find that one of their chief difficulties ; arises from the fact that traffic inevi- J tabiy finds its way into a pair of ruts. I Each succeeding vehicle digs deeper, i and so the operation continues until ! there is only one part of the road i which can he traveled with comfort. Suppose tiiat each vehicle should ; seek a new path. What would be the J result? A smooth, firmly packed stir- J face, in practically as good condition ; as if a steam roller were in constant ( operation. Now is the time when a | policy of avoiding the ruts cau best be made effective. Procrastination. One gTeat criticism of our road improvement policy here iu Pennsylvania is that it is too long in accomplish- j ing its object, says the National Stock- j man and Farmer. We know of oue | road on which Improvements were begun last year. The grading was com- , pleted far ahead of the paving, which, I of course, left the unpaved portion a j big mudhole when winter came. This year the grading on this three mile stretch has been completed, but no more paving is being done. Another winter will find the public struggling la the mud on this new grading, while the road will have to he reshaped when the paving is finally reached. There should be some plan of improvement whereby a road need not be torn up three years in the making. The public is ready to suffer inconveniences for the sake of better roads, but it should not nave to suffer tnem for so long a time. Danger In Unexpected Road Fund*.
