AT THE SET OF THE SUN.

At the set OF the sun,
when our work is DONE
With all its tangled web;
When the clouds drift low.
And the stream runs slow,
And life is at its ebb,
As we near the goal,
When the golden bowl
Shall be broken at its fount;
With what sweetest thought
shall the hour be fraught,
What precious most shall we count?
Not the flame of the sword,
nor the wealth we have stored
In perishable things of earth
Not the way we have trod
With the intellect broad,
Though that were Of precious worth,

Three GOOd-ROadS Questions.

Suppose the people of this nation
could save to themselves as consumers
lis cents on every bushel of wheat,
Would they do it,
Suppose they could save to them
selves as consumers , cents ca every
dozen Of eggs. Would they 90 it?
Suppose they could save to them
selves an uneounted aggregate of lower
prices on farm products-due not only
TO lower cost of getting farm supplies
to market but to greater contentment
on the farm. Would they do it,
You would think so. Yet they take
part indifferently in a movement in
tended to stop the payment of Is cents
more 70 get a bushel OF wheat To the
railroad than is required to transport
it from New York to Liverpool. The
movement indicated Is, of course, that
toward making our roads something
more than channels Of mud.
a particular phase of that movement
is now being emphasized by the Agri-
cultural Department. 1t Is the use of
waste materials as foundation for i'm
proved highways. In one locality it is
iron Stag. In another it is burnt gumbo
clay. In still another it is the waste
of beet sugar factories. Everywhere
it is shortening the distance from farm
to town, and wherever that happens
not only is the tendency toward low
cred prices for the consumer but to-
ward higher standards of living and
more content to the producer and his
family.
That is why we city folk and country
folk ought to unite forces to further
the improvement Of roads wherever the
skeptic lifts his head. It is not local
movement at all 1t involves every one
of us and distributes its benefit through
the whole territory reached by our
products.

When Two Men Disagree.

Victor H. Metcalf is retiring from
the Navy Department. The story is
that he does not follow the President
in the Executives disapproval of bu-
reau chiefs for alleged mistakes in de-
signing the new ships Of war. That be-
ing so, it is like Mr. Metcalf to resign
rather than stay and administer a
rebuke he feels to be undeserved.
Which is right, under the assumed
circumstances It is more than hard
to tell. This much is known:
Certain, specific, circumstantial, ad.
verse criticisms are made of the de-
signs for our newer vessels. They are
investigated by the Senate Commit e
on Naval Affairs. None of the critics
is heard through. Then a conference
is held between critics and designers.
The statement summarizing the find
ings of the conference is unsatisfactory
to everybody.
Now, Mr.. Metcalf has peculiarly that
eapability which enables a man TO get
the best work out Of his subordinates.
1t was proven in the Department of
Commerce and Labor. 1t is proven to-
day in nearer approach to unity in
the Navy Department than has beeu
known for years. With that ability
goes usually a sense Of warm interest
in the subordinate. That is certa My
true of Mr. Metcalf, and it has been
expressed by steady cooperation with
every official in the service who mani
Tested the slightest disposition to meet
the head of the department half way.
As he TetiTes, transforming to the
explanations puOlished-no discredit at
taehes to either President or Secretary.
The one felt the need for a certain
step. The other was unwilling, in view
of his interest in his subordinates, to
take that step when it involved dis
approval of bis men. Tie country will

Very well; how will they be acquired
and administered?
The whole question in its most prac-
teal phases is before US. The confer
ence of governors is to consider it.
If a word of advice may be ventured
it is that they study the experience
of Germany. There, under a federal
system, the problems have been met
and largely solved. Practical co-opera
tion of the Kingdoms and the empire,
for the improvement Of rivers and the
construction of canals, has been wrought
out. Splendid artificial forests have
been grown on once barren wastes ;
forests in which federal and state gov.
ernments are both concerned. 1t will be
found that many of the practical ques-
tions have been answered oy German
experience. There are legal and judi
eial ones which necessarily are different
here from there; but if the German
federation is sufficiently elastic and
adjustable to permit solution of these
issues, it should not readily be ad-
mitted that the Americf federation
Is unable to adjust itself to conditions.
The time for talk about conserva-
ton Is near an end. There must be re-
suits in the near future, OF the whole
movement will end in conversation. The
coming conference of governors has a
very great responsibility upon it. There
is needed a man with a working idea.

Why Not Begin in Timer

Every year the newspapers sound the
warning as to Christmas shopping.
Every year they urge upon their readers
the advantage TO themselves in making
their purchases early and the humani-
tartan advantages to those who do the
serving behind the counters. This year
the same cry viii go up. But-and
here the situation changes-it promises
to fall on livelier ears.
Thus, in Baltimore, a consumers
League has issued a statement TO the
whole people of the city. The speaking
is done in the name of buyers, not
sellers. The thought is OF good to
purchasers, not merchants only. Go
early, says the league. Choose while
the stores are not crowded, the stock
is fresh, and the assortment is at its
widest range Have your purchases de-
livered by wagons not crowded to the
tailbOard. Wrap Jnem for Christmas
when you have time and materials are
plenty,
How much wisdom there is in that!
Every woman knows, i not every man.

fusion, harried temper, over-oecupation.
