The road supervisors who have j charge of the hightway between Punxsutavvney and McGees Mills are deserving of credit for the condition in which the road is kept. A party motoring to Altoona the other day said that the road from Mc- Qees here, free of stones and bumps, was the best encountered -on their w a y. Another good feature of this road Is the new signboards which have been placed at every crossroad. The boards are large and easily legible from the middle of the road. They give the distances to several towns in either direction. Some of the other road supervisors of the county would do well to profit by the work done on the MeClecs- Punxsutawney road. court.

One of the thing's that Impressed us most was to note, as we sped along, that shrines were placed in conspicuous places such as in the fields, along* the roads, and in fence corners.

They work in the Held*, drive oxen, clean the streets, and even work <>n the railroad, throwing switches. As we drew nearer our destination the scenery became more beautiful.
