Smyrna recovered as we'll as NAV
be expected from the fearful snow
storm of Christmas and within a few
lays after the storm business resum-
ed its normal conditions. One oues-
fion however has been more or less
discussed and that is the responsible
ny of allowing the big piles of snow
remain on the street. There is a
town ordinance requiring property
swners to remove snow from the side
wa'ks and keep them open but the
ssreets are allowed to be filled with
snow with little or no effort to have
r removed. In our cities the Street
Cleaning Department has the snow
removed for traffic but not so in
Smyrna. Farmers driving to town are
sole to fnd but few places to hitch and
Indeed difficulty is experienced in pass.

Law on the same subject has also been

Blue RIBBON MEET

That the racing at the Blue Ribbon
meeting in Detroit during the week OF
August will be the best the Detroit
Driving Club ever has been able to give
to the people is assured by the splendid
entry list. Every class filled, and i'll
many instances the fields are much the
largest in history. This, fact in connec-
tion with the speed shown at Terre
Haute, Grand Rapids and other meet
ings, makes it certain that races will be
to the swift and that a number of records
are likely to fall
Opening on August the Blue Ribbon
has three features for the first day The
Horseman futurities for three year -olds
are worth $50, 900 and have assembled a
wonderful lot of baby trotters and PAGERS.
The 2:ll trotting stake with its splendid
lot of developed race horses also is on
the inaugural day.
About twenty horses are eligible to the
Chamber of Commerce pacing stake on
Augurt ,, and il should be the greatest
renewal of this classic. Two-year.o
will race on the same afternoon, twenty
six of toem being in the futurity for
teeir age.
The famous Merchants q Manufactur-
er's stake is to be decided on Wednesday.
August 3, and fully dozen great green
trotters will score for the word. "Pop"
Geers, who was injured at Grand Rapids,
has so far recovered that he will drive
both this event and the Chamber of
Commerce.
The all pace on Thursday and
the free-for-all trot on Friday have at.
traced the fastest horses IN training.
There are four races each afternoon, and
upwad of 300 entries have been received
for the five days, so the twenty sixth
annual Blue Ribbon meeting promises TO
be the greatest carnival OF speed of the
year.

The Story OF Roosevelt

lone White House evening in his
study" writes Alfred Henry Louis in
Human Life for August, 81 probed him
(Mr. Roosevelt) as to what advice, drawn
from his own wells of experience, he
would bestow upon boy of twenty-one
l shall not quote nor try to give his
words. Taking my English and his ideas,
the story runs something like this:
"Your boy, on the doorstep of a career,
must not forget that no man is original,
not law unto himself To have ideas
a man must scratch himself lika match
against another man. Sparks come only
from sharp collision and brisk contact,
never of themselves. Next TO meeting
men, read books. Books for wisdom;
men for collecting a flow flash, dash,
vivacity of spirit.
"Meet men dress well. To mount in
life You must meet and deal with men.
Also. you are to rise or fall by mems i'm
paession of you. A first impression is
the impression important-it will wear
anu ldSls
Don't be ashamed to accept good
counsel though its source be plain. Jupi-
ter himself was raised OH goats milk.
Be gentleman. ! speak not now of
that wasp-waisted gentilily that founds
itself on golf, polo, automobiles, single
stickers, four-in-hands, and boasts as its
best requirement a graceful ability to
pick up lady's fan. Ipoint rather to
another gentility, flower of stalwart
sympathy, and courageous, kind pro.
bity of heart.
Meet men. But most of all meet
women. Meet the best women, Women,
beautiful and brilliant, shape and polish
men; they give them an air and an edge.
Men are quicker, braver, wittier, better
in the presence of woman"
