A traveller through a dusty road
Strewed acorns IN the lea,
And one took roo, and sprouted up
And grew into a tr e.
Love sought its shade at evening time
To breathe its early vows.
And age was pleased in heats Of noon
To bask beneath its boughS.
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs.
The birds sweet music bore;
1t stood. a glory in its place.
blessing evermore!
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern:
A passing stranger scooped a well,
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in and hung with care
ladle at the brink.
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again. and TO- the well.
BY summers never dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parching
tongues
And saved life beside!
A dreamer dropped a random thought:
Twas old and yet was new
A simple fancy of the brain.
But strong in being true.
1t shone upon genial mind,
And, To- its light became
A lamp of life. beacon ray.
monitory flame.
The thought was small. its issue great
watchtire on the hill:
It sheds it's radiance far adoWn
And cheers the valley still!
A nameless man amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart
Let fall a word of hope and love.
Unstudied from the heart.
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath.
1t raised a brother from the dust;
1t saved a soul from death.
o germ! o font. word Of love!
o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last!

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
and the Worlds Fair.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will
issue an elaborate Worlds Fair Folder on
the first of the year, giving full information,
with illustrations, of the great Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at st. Louis. Ticket
offices on the entire system will be furnished
with all details concerning the route to st.
Louis, together with advance information
concerning hotels and boarding houses
The Baltimore and Ohio is the original line
from the east to st. Louis. Early in 1927 the
founders wished to connect Baltimore and
the seaboard, by the most direct line west
ward, with St. Louis on the Mississippi.
From Baltimore to Cumberland the line fol-
lowed the old national pike; then "A direct
line was built to Parkersburg on the Ohio
River other companies built lines from
Parkersburg direct to st. Louis, and all of
these lines have merged into the Baltimore
and Ohio System, which forms the most
direct route between the East and the West.
Solid veStbule trains run daily from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Pittsburg and Columbus to Cincinnati and

Coed Road Notes

a speaker at recent good roads
convention said that the main civiliz-
ing influences of country should be
placed in the following order of i'm
portancc - viz: Good roads, public
schools and churches. The point in
vOlved was that If there are not good
roads children will not go regularly to
school, and if uneducated they will not
have sufficient intelligence to attend
and get the most good from church
services.
1t Is said that lands in Marion coun-
ty, Fla, which three years ago were
abandoned to the state We're later re-
deemed for a dollar an acre and are
row worth SIS an acre. This increase
I'm valuation has been brought about
through the building of good roads
The condition Of the roads in any
community is a fair measure of its en-
lightenment and progress and its de-
STABILITY as place of residence
BY using wide tires the cost and Ia
Dor of keeping roads In repair are
greatly reduced. Therefore If you want
good roads. either of dirt or stone, use
wide tires and induce all your neigh
bors to do likewise.
Before we had any rock and shell
ro"ds between this place and Rock
ledge two mule team pulled sixteen
boxes of oranges from there here to be
loaded on the cars, and 1t was about
all they could pull, says the Rockledge
roads that same team Of mules pulls
thirty-five boxes of oranges over the
same route with greater ease than
they formerly pulled sixteen. Let
doubters figure the gain.

WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND TO EAT?"
The next day he commenced to grow
And got both tail and fat.
By noon he was at least the size
OF any ordinary cat.
At dinner time poor Clarence lay
Quite sick upon the mat,
His size more like an elephant
Than that of any rat.
Now, sweet. forgiving Mrs. Rat,
So worried did she feel,
She sought the paper bag from which
He ate his hearty meal.

Saw printed on the seal
And put her little brain to work
With courage and with zeal.
She found bag of alum. and
A lot she did apply,
And soon was well rewarded. for
While watching by and by
She saw him shrink to normal size.
Ard. with little sigh,
She gently murmured in his ear.

First try it on your neightpr;
It's apt to save you suffering

officially says that cities and villages
maintaining their own bridges shall he
exempt from lew for such purpose, vi

construction, citizens generally concur
ring in the belief that the city could
with propriety and justice assist in this
work of improving BRIGGS and roads,

and purpose for the, common goC I 1t
has been felt that what was for the ben

Crops In Colorado

EDITOR CENSOR: My friends express.

You know came here with the inten-
ton of attending the university as a stu
dent, but have since accepted the posi-
tion as teacher In college
am very happy to be able to tell you
that the state Of Colorado looks more
prosperous thill year than last; for the
strikes are settled and the mining in
dustrv ia booming. ] have learned
from good authority thst It was not the
workingmen who were the instigators
of the strikes, but q Ie'g leaders who
made the workingmen feel that they
were treated unjustly, and at once, the
satisfied men became dissausned. soon
peaceful, happy, comfortable homes
were converted into homes o. filth, uu-
happiness and degradation. You would
naturally ask the reason Tor the action
Of these leaders. SimplY this, the fee
which they made out q the working
man for a promise to secHrs them higher
wages The leaders, cons quently made
their thousands while the workingmen
and their families paid ths bill in money
and suffering. The striges are settled
and the light of prosperity and peace
once more dawns upon ms talr iand or
most desirable climate,
Many eastern people seem TO think that
the mining industry Is he only thing
worth speaking of in Colorado Such is
not the case, for / have ar4veled in off
ferent states. and also il Canada, and /
have never seen as good fruit farms as
I have here. They raise three crops of
alfalfa every year; and within eight
miles Of Denver they raise 50 bushels Of
wheat to the acre Government land
can be bought for $3.50 az acre; while
improved land is sold for $500 an acre.
A fruit farm near Denver is offered for
$4,000, which seems b price for 10
acres; but when you consider that they
often make from 50, 900 & $4,000 year
on it, itdoes not seem SO high priced.
