This was evidenced today by the re-

A SMILE AND A
HELPING HAND.

'Tis the honest grip
OF comradship
Makes fellew take heart again;
It's the word Of cheer
From q friend sincere
Makes him feel 1ife's not in vain.
When the way is dark
And the luckless barque
Is drifting from satety's strand,
Why, God bless the men
And the women who then
Hold to us helping hand.
"When you're out Of luck
And you're out OF pluck
And the fight doesn't seem worth
while,
What will give you heart
To do your part?
Why, hand-clasp and smile;
So when all is black
And we've lost the track
In a world we can't understand.
Then God bless the friend
Who is there to lend
A smile and helping hand.'

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER iii.
Reif PresumptlVe to One Of the
Largest Fortunes In the World,
Is Two Years Old
Today.
Especial to the ARaUs.)

New York, March 21-John D.
Rockefeller III, heir presumptive to
one of the largest fortunes in the
world, is two years old today. From
all accounts he is fine, healthy, blue
eyed youngster, who is just beginning
to take lively interest in what goes
on about him. He is the idol not only
Of his parents, but also Of the grand
children in the Mccormick and the
Strong families, but these young per-
sons, who are destined to be tremend-
ously wealthy, will have meagre for
tunes compared with Jonn D. the
third.
The heir to millions is being brought
up in accordance with the traditions OF
the Rockefeller family. which, in other
words, means that the follies and
foibles of the sons of many millionaires
Of today will be tabooed.
| The youngster will find in his father
| q most excellent example OF million
| aire who prefers the simple life to the
pleasures OF high society. In his tastes,
his everyday habits, his pleasures and
his beliefs, John D. Rock efeller, Jr.,
is most striking contrast to the Or
dinary son of millionaire father.
Possessed of a fortune which would
enable him to crafty any extravagant
wish, which would enable him to pay
half million year for yacht and
think it no waste, to support racing
stable or to buy q princely estate, he
wants none of them. To his mind it is
pleasanter to work daily, to live quiet
ly at home and to devote much Of his
time to religion and charity.

FOR GOOD ROADS,.
Foundation OF Commercial Growth.

To the voters of Raleigh Township,
especially the Prohibitionists::
We have voted liquor out of the
county on the plea that it hinders the
intellectual, moral and financial prog
ress Of our people. We are going to
vote it out OF the State for the same
reason.
One of the foundations of intellectual
and moral progress is public schools,
and one of the foundations of CONNER
cial growth is good roads. When we
voted out the dispensary, we declared
that it was disgrace and an insult to
our people to suppose that the educa-
ton of their children and the building
up of their roads depended upon the
debauchery of their men with liquor.
Shall we make good our declaration?
Or shall we make good the declarations
of those who advocated the liquor trat-
fic on the ground of revenues for schools
and roads? Can we hesitate moment
about such an issue? Let us stand to
our guns, and show that we can have
better schools and better roads without
the liquor business than with it. The
wealth wasted on liquor will now be
saved, and will more than pay the tax
, required. Let everybody vote for
bonds who believes in temperance and
in progress based on temperance. Let
| Raleigh township set the example of
road and school improvement, just as
she has already set the example Of item
perance. This election is almost as
important as the dispensary election;
| for it will serve to justify that, or con-
denim it, and thus will produce results
of the greatest importance, beyond the
mere question oftemperance.
