The Greeks considered COTTAGE one OF
the four cardinal virtues. They defined
it "a doing the unattractive thing die
tated by wisdom. The virtue Of courage
is never in the risk taken, but in the de
termination To accomplish the purpose
set before US. Ii is not necessary to wait
for extraordinary occasions either Inc
commonplace give us ample Opp0rtuni-
ty The ideal is the measure OF achieve
ment. Carl Schulz said, Ideals are IKE
stars. You will not succeed IN touching
them with your hands, but like the sea-
faripQ man on the desert OF waters, you
choose them as guides and following
them you reach your destiny IL has
been said that man Is law animal. and
that we get in the habit of not feeling
well. We pity ourselves; We pl'ad indls-
position and try To believe we have
symptoms and need sympathy, when all
we need il 10 brace up and move on.

afraid TO say it. would rather have an
opinion aud make a mistake than TO
have no opinion OF anythingor anybody.
| would rather jOstle T. OF my 1000, 600
of friends who are in ruts and cause them
TO move on than see them stay in the
ruts until they were Oseriz d. At the
next board meeting of our supervisors
we will present our petition To that body
asking that no more road money be
thrown away under the old system OF
road working We will at the same time
present plans for doing road work which
will give US prompt and immediate relief
from present conditions. II our petition
is granted and our plans adopted we will
have taken the steps necessary To get W
out Of the ruts. After which time we are
sure Of feeling better We shall ask the
supervisors Of CORTLAND and Chancellor
To at once begin the making Of the road
bed on the old Plank road, so that the
suriacing may be- put on from the private
fund subscribed for the purpose, this will
at once be practical demonstration OF
