And clogged with gravel when the weather is dry? And so it was graded and laid ar?d planned That you'd stick in the mud or sink in the sand; And you'd walk through the mud four miles, near about, For a four horse team to pull your auto out. And you'd say naughty things be neath your breath, For fear you might frighten the girl to death. Then I know you will work with all your might For a nice, Bmooth road that is graded right. That can be used the year around in any weather, in any weather. A road for use, and a joy forever. II H B.irtlett Millard N Dutberry, Oljmpia OUR MARINE CORPS. in Tk o 1 Ik ,.f a'l li.
