To Thine Own Self Be frue

BY thine own souls law learn to
live,
And if men thwart thee take no heed,
And if men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song and do thy deed.
Hope thou thy hope and pray thy
prayer,
And claim no crown they will not
give,
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soul-worn ste adfast
oath,
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soll teaches learn to know
And play out thine appointed part,
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt
SOW,
Nor helped nor hindered in thy
growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on the futures goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Nohither, but be swift to run,
And nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at last the end is won
And thou mayst look back from
thy place
And see thy long days journey done.

Successful Crops,
Pretty Children

Tom Ryan's success on his farm lying
on Tar Greek, near Tar Springs, is a
striking example of the value of much
head work and little foot work. Ryan
has l20 acres on his main farm, fifty
acre farm down the creek and further
on a seventy acre farm rented. He is
planting thirty acres in tobacco, some
of the land, Ryan says, brings 1900
pounds to the acre. Fourteen tons of
hay at SEQ to $50 per ton has netted
him juicy profits. He is now selling
corn to his neighbors at 81 per bushel
cash.
Good crops take second place on
Ryan's farm. because there are Mary,
William and Pauline Ryan in the fore
front. The children are good looking,
getting this from their mother. Little
Billie is five years old, knows his letters
and can read.

ing room were decorated in snow-white
peonies. The table was beautiful, the
color scheme being carried out in every
detail. From the center of the ceiling,
green and white ribbon was suspended
to each corner OF the table, in the center
of which on a silver plateau was cut
glass candelabra with the green candles.
Eight single cut glass candlesticks were
then placed in circle around this,
while large cut glass bowls of white pc.
onies at each end made the table very
effective and pretty.
The guests were passed peanuts tied
with green and white ribbons, enclosed

THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE
OF THE ROAD
By Sam Waller FOi5

1-here hermit souls that live withdrawn
Il In the peace of their self content;
There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart,
In a elowless frmament;
There pioneer souls that blaze their paths
Where highways never RAM
But let me live by the side of the road
And be friend to
Let me live in house by the side of the road
Where the of men go by
The men who are good and the who bad
AS good and as bad as l.
l would not sit in the scorners seat,
Or hur the cynic's ban;-
Let me live in house by the side of the road
And he friend to man.
l see from my house by the side of the road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men press with the ardor of hope,
The who faint with the strife,
But turn not away from their smiles their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan;-
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be friend to
l know there are ook-gaddened meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome heighth
That the road passes through the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night
But still rejoice when the travellers rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that moan
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like man who dwes alone.
Let me live in house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by
They good they bad they weak they strong
Wise, foolise-so am l.
Then why should sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hur the cyncs banl-
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be friend man.

Bull. Oct. 7.-G. H. Martin. Progress
slve nominee for governor. held nne
meeting here Saturday night. In spite
Of the heavy rain that was falling ne
spoke to an audience Of some 400. He
dealt extensively with the question OF
Carey act land matters. declaring that
the first consideration Of the state
should BE- for the welfare Of the set
tiers and . full profession of their
rights, and this, he believed. would
largely secure tn, investors the best
protection they could secure. He de-
clared for fair treatment OF the con-
struction companies consistent with
these Views. He favored . Carey act
commission and declared that In the
future the development Of Carey act
lands should be done by the state, thus
eliminating the great profits Of the
construction companies and assuring
settlers their water at actual cost.
There Is much Progressive sentiment
in this section and It Is growing rapid
ly. In his speech Mr.. Martin attacked
the state board Of equalization. declar-
ing It's work had favored the great
special interests Of the state at the
expense of the farmers and small prop
erty owners. He said that the main
track Of the great railroads of this
state were assessed last year in the
state Of Washington, Just across the
line from Idaho. 1T from $4,000 to
800. 900 per mile. while in Idaho they
were assessed at only $4,000 per mile.
He also told Of tho great difference In
value given on railroads in Bonner
county, this state. ana on the same
roads in Washington state. and cited
the case Of the Aberdeen branch Of the
Oregon Short Line. which was assessed
at "a valuation actually less for the
acreage in aus right Of way than similar
adjoining farm lands were assessed. the
railroad company actually paying less
taxes for :, railway line than farmers
paid per acre for the same amount Of
land. He told Of the sale Of an electric
railway at Boise for $500, 900 cash. one
check being made for $650.000 at one
time, while state board Of eQualiza-
ton the same year had assessed the
same property for but 3l36.0oO. or only
one sixth the value for which 1t sold
actual cash.
