The Message of the Valley.

The message of the valley ca me up last
night to me,
The message of the dreaming world and
of the singing sea;
The message far and beauteous from vale
and hill and plain
Where wash the silver ripples of the
cleansing springume rain.
The message OF the valley,
One sweet wild cry rang by,
And, oh, how sweet above my head
Shown down the sapphire sky!
The message of the valley was so sweet
with words that seemed
To tell of loved green places where the
sweet Catoctin cleaned;
To tell of flowing waters that in them
selves SO sweet
Brings voices of the beautiful to echo at
our feet.
The message of the valley,
A message clear and fine
That told of days remembered
Where the old Catoctns shinel
went back there to answer its call of
home last night
| went on wings of dreaming up the val
leys of delight;
! saw the loved green places in the Fred
eriCkland love,
And blue Catoctin standing like SEN
tinel above.
went back there to answer
That message with my heart,
Back there to lIfes green valleys
Where the dreams of beauty start!
| climbed High Knob in fancy and took
the White Rock way
To glance across the valley where the
winding ripples play
| kissed my hand in memory to the river
twisting there,
gave my heart, sweet valleys to your
blossoms and your air.
The sweet old Frederick valley,
Its message, all, how sweet
That singing of Its golden dream
Across the young green wheat
The message of the valley, hear it all
the while,
The glad old music singing with the lips
that wear loves smile;
The message of the roses, the wild grape
and the vine,
The fragrant honeysuckle and the fam
ing columbine.
The message of the valley,
One high sweet note it brings,
That somewhere still forever
God sings and sings and sings!

The scrap piles, the speaker said,
are milestones on the way to success
and the man or business organization
that has not growing scrap pile is
stagnsting and falling behind. The
railroad that clings TO an old type Of
locomotive and ant1Quated methods Of
operation, while its competitors put in
more powerful traction and approved
time and money saving devices, is soon
cutd1sLanceG in the race for business.
The shop or mill that keeps its slow
and faulty machinery, instead of throw
ing 1t out on the scrap pile and re-
placing 1t with that which can produce
rapidly and perfectly, is never the go
ing concern in the community. And
the man who Is all numbered up with
IDEAS or habits that belonged to an
other age has a hard time to get q fob

What all these ultra conservative
people need is a scrap pile. and cour-
