Song of the Good Road.

| am a Road; a good road, fair and
smooth and broad;
And I link with my beautiful tether
Town and country together,
Like a ribbon rolled on the earth from
the reel of God.
Oh, great the life of a Road.
! am a Road; a long road, leading on
and on,
and | cry to the world to follow,
Past meadow ard hill and hollow,
Through desolate night, to the open
gates of dawn.
Oh, bold the life of a Road.
l am a Road; a kind road, shaped by
strong hands.
l make strange cities neighbors;
The poor grow rich with my labors
And beauty and comfort follow me
through the lands,
Oh, glad the life of a Road.
| am a Road; a wise road, knowing all
mems ways.
And ! know how each heart reaches
For the things dear Nature teaches
And | am the path that leads into
green young Mays.
Oh, sweet the life of a Road.
| am a Road; and I speed away from
the slums,
Away from desolate places,
Away from unused spaces;
Wherever l go, there order from chaos
comes.
Oh, sweet the life of a Road.
I am a Road; and'I would make the
whole world one.
/ would give hope to duty,
And cover the earth with beauty.
Do you not see, Oh men, how all this
might be done?
So vast the power Of the Road.

The story that one of the richest men
has given his son S14, 600, 900 as . bridal
present may arouse envy among the
less fortunate. 1t must be admitted
that this is a gracious wedding gift.
The young couple starting out in life
have no reason to complain, but they
must remember that in the hunt for
happiness riches do net always count,
says the Commercial Appeal.
A man may be considered rich whose
income is more than his expenses. and
he is poor whose expenses exceed his
income. Riches are not an end OF life,
but only an instrument of living.
Looking at the above gift from the
point of view of those who believe that
money can buy everything, the young
couple have an ideal start. There is
nothing material they cannot buy, but
after all, riches exclude only one in
convenience and that is poverty. Hap
piness cannot be purchased. Most rich
men are worried with their wealth.
Carnegie and Rockefeller are both in
dulgent in their gifts and charity. Pos
sibly both are happy, but there is no
record that they are. Locking at it
from the viewpoint Of philosophy and
experience, the start Of the two young
, people is not only ideal but is something
to worry over. The things you have
bought and the things you can buy do
not constitute the glowing delights OF
life. Happiness car only be built on
! virtue, and must Of necessity have
truth for its foundation.
Riches though they may reward vir-
tue, cannot cause it, and the common
tendency Of the time when the world is
talking Of tainted money is that the
man who dies rich dies ~disgraced.
Riches are valuable at all times and to
all men because they always purchase
pleasure, but in this world it is net SO
much what we gain as what we give
that contributes to u happiness. 1t
was rare old Ben Johnson who declared
that every mar is rich or poor, &C.
cording to the proportion between his
desires and his enjoyments."
After all it is the man who works
hard for what he has, who enjoys the
pleasure of anticipation and enjoys the
memory of achievement, who is the
happiest. The man to whom every
thing has been given has neither a past
nor a future in happiness.
Perhaps the young people who have
received this generous gift may be en-
exception to the general rule, but it
stands to reason that the man who has
to labor to labor to live, who has some
thing to accomplish, is the kappiest.

IN the QumD disappointment that
fell over the group, in Mark Robert

turned as by common consent upon
Jim Blake. Unruf,ed, he stood there,
master of them all and even master OF
himself.

There was a knock at the door.
Gregg answered 1t. Neligan entered,
all but showing Wanda Kelly in ahead
Of him.
Here she is," he reported.
Leaving her standing there. he
turned and ostentatiously closed the
door behind him.
The girl looked about at the faces
that confronted her on every side.
Then she smiled. 1t was the peaceful
smile of the kitten that has just

her heart was hammering to strangu.

Mark Robertson, from his place at

FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of Or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a $l,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 2O% January lst,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
