economically used
New electric roads are projected for open
Ing many miles of improved transportation.in
the next few months, and the same may be
said fol, steam transportation along our
coast and interior waters, and new mills
and extensive factories are to be constructed
and repaired, and many other industrial
projects put on foot to give employment to
various kinds of labor, already very well
employed at very good wages.
The penetration OF new electric roads to
various parts of the State gives the farmers
market, as they will also increase the local
demand to supply the increased number of

enhance the value of farm lands

Blessings of Sculpture.
But there is another art in my mind
the most fascinating, elevating and
inspiring of all arts and the nearest to
the diyine-for which all the world
owes a debt to the Hellenes that will
never be paid. I mean sculpture. At
least $50 years before Christ the Greeks
perpetuated the human face and form
in terra Gotta and marble. What bless
ing to the human family that men and
women, nightly useful, who could live
only within a century may be perpetu-
ated for five or six or ten centuries!
How wish that some sculptor contem-
poraneous with Christ could have put
his matchless form in MARBLE! But for
every grand and exquisite statue Of
Martin Luther, of John Knox, of Will
liam Penn, of Thomas Chalmers, of
Wellington, Of Lafayette, of any of the
great statesmen or emancipators or con-
querors who adorn your parks or fill the
inches of your academies, you are debt
ors to the Greeks. They covered the
Acropolis, they glorified the temples,
they adorned the cemeteries with stat
ues. some in cedar, some in ivory, some
in silver, some in gold, some in size
diminutive and some in size colossal.
