A GOOD ROADS INVESTMENT THE NAVY KNOWS VALVES The United States Navy Is starting an advertising campaign tn thousands of newspapers throughout the nation, more than six thousand, besides the magazines, In its efforts to gain re cruits. The matter was discussed and this method considered the most effective in reaching the people of the nation and gaining the ends sought. Throughout the war. the newspa pers gave countless pages of apace i free and willingly iu such matters, which was added to by perhaps as FLORY y MILDRED WHITK.

Just what the economic value of this road will be cannot be estimated. It opens up a market tor the fruit which Is raised in such abundance in the Bridge Creek and West Branch districts, an easy outlet ot fat hogs that have been impossible to produce because of inaccessable conditions, and a great many other products be sides the principal one, which is live stock, which comes out on foot to our railroad. The value of roads of this type Is even greater than the economic one. In that It brings these communities closer together, and adds to the home life and Interest of both communities as well as the actual price of the land Itself. So much has been said and written The fact is acknowledged, for ex ample, that the space In the Crook County Journal Is worth 20 cents per inch, and the contract is being placed and will be paid tor at that rate. The use of advertising space was never one-half so great as it is now, and the United States government promises to become one of the best advertisers in the nation. At least it must be acknowledged that the Navy knows values, and la receiving them.

"Silly twaddle!" remarked James Comstock. disgustedly, and laid the book said. "Whose twaddle'" asked a sweet voice near him. "Is ItT James glanced at the cover. "By Flory," he quoted contemptu ously. "Flory la exactly the sort of person on would expect to touch up on her subjects. Ilk a butterfly among the flowers, with do substance or real ity to hold." "Haven't you." asked the girl at his side, "Imbibed some of Klory's poetic phraseology? Now, I know a man who Is enraptured over the little books, considers them the acme of art. Cer tainly they sell well." James Couistock turned to look Into the piquant face upraised to his own. Uke various other guests at Mrs. Vhii Houton's house party, he was exce-d-ingly curious concerning this new ur rlval In their social midst. The rest of the crowd hnd been known to each other, either by name or reputation for years. IlhiMia Kent was one of Mrs. Van Houton's discov eries. To use her sou's expression, bis mother had "sprung a new one." and she was delighted In her young friend's reserve. The most faxoied had been able to learn nothinu ot HluHla's past, present or fulur from her own Ill's. It was the unusual charm of her per sonality hlch caused deep Ititorest upon all sides, snd much conjecture. Her clothing, though tn good taste, was so Independently simple that many wondered If Mrs. Van llouton had taken on a protege. James Coiustock, being acceptably the most Interesting man In the aft, was naturally her vls-a-vls. In fact, during the days of proximity In the tine old house his heart had known Its first serious affection. James, the heretofore Invulnerable, was, as Billy Van llouton said, "de cidedly hard hit" Never before, he gloomily admitted to himself, had face or voice of wom an haunted the nightly hours which should be devoted to healthful slum ber. So J a rues was Justified In pos sessing more than the usual share of curiosity concerning tht real life of the winsome Rhoda. "Perhaps." ht said In answer to her defense of the book discussed "this Tlory' msy say more. In a light man ner, than I am clever enough to grasp. But, fancy, for Instance, being mar ried to such a dreamer. Poor husband of Flory! With his wife always soar ing above the blue, She Isn't so bad at rhyme, though, I'll admit; seems te have a number of little verses scat tered through here and there, with a bar of music to start them oft. Helps to sell, 1 suppose. Makes the book look easy to read." Miss Kent nodded laughingly. "Hut you would not want to be the suffering husbnnd who must listen to hi? wife singing those things around the house," she said. "Heaven forbid!" James plonsly ejaculated. At"! the lovely girl at his side anise in response to Mrs. Van Houton's call. "Come here. Hhoda," cried that mer ry person. "Here are half a doaen bored peojile wishing, to be entertained. My hope lies in you." James Comstork gazed after the graceful figure regretfully. The glance she threw back at him was strangely disquieting. For days he had been Joyously secure in a consciousness of the girl's preference. Unaccountably discouragement came upon him. Khods's eyes had gazed at him re proachfully, her Hps had closed firmly, as though In displeasure. Then pres ently he heard her voice In song, aa she accompanied herself upon the ; piano. It was a little Scotch tune that the girl played and the words sounded vaguely familiar. Comstock leaning forward, listening attentively, found that voice and tune thrilled him with Inexplicable tenderness. Where had he heard the words? Idly his gaze fell upon the opened book of "Flory." Then he knew. It was one of the despised Flory's verse that his beloved was singing. And after a round of Involuntary hand clnpplng he heard Mrs. Van Houton'a triumphant announcement: "I had not Intended to tell you for awhile; we have had such fun keep ing our secret. But Rhoda Kent 1 'Flory,' as you have guessed, wlth those delightful books to her credit." Comstock snt staring dully at the volume In his hand long after silence proclaimed that Ithoda's audience had departed. Bitterly he recalled his re cent condemning conversation, with Ms fervent "Heaven forbid!" that a wife such ss she should be his own. Well, he hud done for himself this time, he bitterly reflected, and thla time was all that counted In the world. "If you please," asked Rhoda severe ly, "may I have that book of 'silly twaddle?' ". Wretchedly he looked up Into the lovely face above his. "And I was going to ask you to be my wife." "Heaven forbid!" murmured Rhoda. "A wife flouting around in the blue." Her voice broke in soft uncontrollable) laughter. Kagerly he caught at bar hands. "I will drop the name 'Flory,'" Rhoda said later; "Mrs. James Com stock will give to the book the proper dignity which It deserves."
