THE MAKING or \ GREAT
NATION.

That the United States IS the
a7ae Of the greatest nation on
sc Earth Is eoaseieatiously BE-
IeYed " every .oyal subject Of
C1cle Sar,: that " NAV be
greater stu! should be the ambi-
tioa Of every man, woma \ aid
eh.ld enjoying the protection ana
privileges Of the Stars and Stripes.
Integrity, honesty, industry and
q due reverence for the Law OF
Ind are Of course, fundamental
prineiI lie q bCtl individual ard
national prosperity, but there are
.o-herthings necessary for steady,
substantial progress.
In the first place, intelligence
and morality are a necessity to
all true greatness. To attain the
best development the training OF
Ientai, moral and physical en-
do%meats is essential. Educa-
uonal institutions which cultivate
the mind and hand fer useful
ress, and churches which develop
the moral nature are requisites
20 all forward movements. The
laundering and fostering Of
schools and churches should be a
patriotic purpose. Without ex-
ception, the educated, moral citi-
zen makes the law abiding, pro-
-ressiye citizen.
Another requisite TO a peoples
greatness is pure, wholesome.
live newspapers. These cannot
thrive without the support OF
those benefited, and must be free
from partisan feeling and Sec
tIohai pfeJ a0Ice.
One OF the main factors in the
greatness of a nation is good
roads. Our government makes
liberal appropriation for river and
narbor improvements and aids in
railroad and ocean going COM
merce, but not dollar is given
TO facilitate the intercourse be-
tween farm and market.
The road question is important
to every calling, as all are con-
sumers, and the farmer is the
only producer. Dependable,
passable roads at all seasons of
the year would regulate the cost
OF living to the working man to
his earning capacity, the year
around. Whereas, the present
old rut-ridden highway gives the
Spectator the profits, because
the farmer is forced to sell as
soon as his crop is harvested or
be prevented from selling at all
on account of bad roads.
Great as is our country, the
present road system is a national
as well as a fearful
drain on the farmer, the mainstay

A Cooperative Summer Cottage.

An article in the New Idea Wo-

eight Girls Built Cooperative
Summer Cottage" suggests way
to be sure of having congenial
companionship OIL ones vacation
so often disappointing matter to
summer hotels and boarding hous-
es. These girls had all been
spending their substance unsatis-
factorily at crowded resorts and re-
solved to try the simple life and
get back to nature for change:
So they bought a few acres of land
on the shores of a mountain lake
and had a kind of octagonal cabin
built and furnished. The cabin
had two stories, the downstairs
with living room, dining room and
kitchen, the upstairs with eight
compartment as bedrooms for the
eight partners. The writer gives
the items Of cost of the cabin,
which amounted in all to only $500
and the whole seasons expenses,
including the cabin which remain.
ed for other seasons, were no more
than the cost of former vacations,
which had vanished leaving moth
ing behind. not even health.
