The Averaae Man.

The average man is the man Of the
mill.
The man of the valley. or man OF the
hill.
The man at the throttle, the man at
the plough
The man with the sweat Of his toll on
his brow.
Who brings into being the dreams OF
the few.
who works for himself, and for me,
and for YOU
There is not a purpose, a project or
plan
But rests on the strength Of the aver.
age man.
The growth Of a city the might of
land
Depend on the fruit Of the toll of his
hand.
The road. or the wall, or the MILL or
the mart
Call daily to him that he furnished his
The pride Of the great and the hope OF
the low
The toll Of the tide as it Gibbs to and
fro.
The reach of the rails and the coun.
tries they span
Tell what is the trust in the average
man.
The man who. perchance, thinks he la.
bors alone.
The man who stands out between
hovel and throne
The man who gives freely his brain
and his Drawn
Is the man that the world has been
builded upon.
The clang of the hammer the sweep of
the saw,
The flash of the forge-they have
strengthened the law,
They have rebuilt the realms that the
wars overran,
They have shown us the worth Of the
average man.
So here's to the average man-to the
one
Who has iabored unknown on the tasks
he has done
Who has met as they came all the prob.
lens of life
Who has helped us To- win in the stress
and the strife
he has bent to his toll thinking neither
of fame
Nor Of tribute nor honor. nor prize
nor acclaim
In the forefront of progress. since
progress began
Here's health and hall TO the aver.
age man.

Fine Whites and Grays Scarce.

1.-The reason that fine whites and grays
are in such demand Is that there IS
a smaller supply OF these
coiors. fewer people possessing such
hirsute adornment, while the demand is
greater for the obvious reason that wo-
men who require white or gray hais
to build up their locks are at the time
of life when hair Is getting scarce. and
therefore they require more of the pur-
chased article to make suitable couture
than younger women do
Then. again, women who can afford
TO call IN the aid OF a hair-dFesser to re-
pair the ravages Of time are women
of the well-to-do class and are quito
ready to pay for hair that will be d

willing to part with their gray or white

Daisys existence was limited in every

Distorted Buildings.

From this high view the city itself be-

The philosopher gazes into the infinite
heavens above him. and allows his soul
to expand to the influence of his new
view. He feels that he is the heir to
eternity and the child of Time. Space,
too, should be his by the right of his
Immortal heritage. and he thrills at the
thought that some day his kind shall
traverse those mysterious aerial roads
between planet and planet. The tiny
world beneath his feet upon which this
towering structure of steel rests as a
speck of dust upon q Himalayan noun

Der OF such whirling atoms. What are
the ambitions. the achievements, the
paltry conquests and loves Of those rest

their Insignificant city?

Will have these thoughts. They have

broader, his heart is at peace, and his
conception OF the cosmogony Of crea-

Born in September. 1897, little Prince

indelibly in the worlds history.
He is a big boy for his age, and pas
