‘ Joy cometh in the morning. He was a wise old gink who said that first and the mutt who sleeps until 8:30 a. m. misses a heap these fine autumn morn- ings. Love of nature and the big outdoors is generally supposed to be the things that lure man from his lair and seek the broad expanse of prairie or hill and dale as the case may be But not always. Some go into the Py i country for more practical rea- sons and so did we this fine morning. Never did providence extend her protecting hand more opportunely over all concerned in | this narative than on this part- icular morning. Armed with a pocket full of U O Mees and your balance is $— we started on a collection tour that ended as most such tours generally do, by collecting a lot of new promises, a few simoleons, a little experience, and without fail a nail or two that kefore they can be forgot- ten require a rubber patch ap- plied by an auto-chiropodist. Our iron stead seemed to sense the importance of the oc-; easion or whether it was the near tragedy that always lurks in his path for he seemed rest- less under restraint and hit up a pece right from the start that bid defiance to all that dared to obstruct his path. Perhaps Speck —that’s the new factotum’s name that ladles out the gas at the Cottonwood Garage—who gave him a feed of oats just be- fore we started, had unbeknown to us, slipped in a bottie of Mahl- kenkrodt Motor Pep, sold by Doe Turner, tor he seemed in- clined to rear and run as if the devil were after him. A mile or two secined but a breath to us while he, like the nigger’s mule, the harder he run the more breath he got. We had started him east over the new houlevard and managed to get him headed south, and while we .were still pondering over the many improvements the present board of highway commissioners have wrought to our roads our cup of estimation brimful of ad- miration for their honorable and valped service, when-—Bingo we split it all. The heavens were never more brilliantly illuminat- ed than we saw them for a mo- ment just then. Bucephalus had jerked the reins out of our hands and was heading for a telephone pole all ready to start to climb when we came too. For a mo- |ment we didn’t know whether to- iday was today or a week ago ‘last Tuesday. Neither can we explain how or why we stopped after having crossed the rough- est, meanest and most inexcuse- able 10 feet of road bed in an otherwise good road that we have bumped over for a long time. The bump of estimation |for our highway commissioners that had gathered on our top knot was completely knocked off and in its place we had a punc- ture that made us tilt our hat for several days. From the way Bucephalus groaned and stagger ed we thought every bone in his ! hody had been broken but a close | inspection did not reveal any un- toward distortions or concus- ville, day. we were going we noticed a sign \that read 8 miles to Baker's Store. That helped some, and by the way that’s some sign too. The fellow that painted that knows how to paint as_ well as weigh prunes and test country butter before it gets old enough to talk for itself. It is what you would call a neat live sign not of the class that commands attention but invites it and gets | you to read it whether you want to or not. There were other signs but somehow they did not attract our attention, We sud-) denly remembered that we had| came neither started out to do certain things | }and once more we were off.! Turning to the left we noticed lan old sign hanging on a barn | that says something about Fir, Tamarac, Pine, believe even Keu- | | terville is mentioned. The fel- | {low who put that there twelve | | years ago used to give two cords {of slab wood per year for the} | privilege of hanging it there, |but honest to goodness it isn’t} worth it. He ought to take it ;down but since so many barns jhave burned lately perhaps he |figures that this one will burn some day and thus save him the trouble. It—the sign—will never rot, we know what its made out of. But by this time Bucephalus got his wind back and we were tearing down the road too fast to read signs or meditate longer over the fate of the ill sign on a sorry looking barn.

The ¢20d housewife evidently had not seen us for she was out in the barn yard flooping her sky to locate the hawk she thought was the cause of all this commotion. We did not care to enter for we realized that we had few friends there to sym- pathize with us, besides it was hard for us to explain. We look- ed our horse over, plucked a few tail feathers from the radiator core and proceeded on our way. But that was no ordinary rooster He was not born in an incubator ) nor raised on a bottle.
