Action

To progress there must be action.
The earth, ant hill in the planetary system, is
ever in action, revolving its axis. The sea,
restless than guilty conscience is ever responding to

children, animals fowls and fish must be constantly in
action for them to live
Acton-constant action-was ordained by the Di-
vine.
Baseball, the great national game, must abound in
action to hold the interest of the spectators Let the
atrca manager stage play the demand is for action
The public demanded action in pictures and the "mov-
les" became standard The great men of history-Cae-
quick decisive action
The world loves and honors men and women of action
All plant life depends action for existence Plants
big and little must be warmed by the sun, cooled by
the dew and rain, nourished by the SOIL otherwise they
wither and die. And there is action in dying
Action is the very life of agriculture and commerce.
The soil must be prepared; seed must be sown fire.
quent ting is necessary; lapse for active maturity
and then the harvest. Commerce enters in the shape
of buyers of the crops and steam engines to them
The L. & N. has kept pace with the active and yet
more active spirit of the age. It's engines ever in
action throughout the territory traversed by it's lines
It's agents and other employees in action night

The L. & N. has tried to appeal to the imagination
of men, to stir brains into action. Intelligent activity
is an irresistible force for the constructive develop
ment of any community. Let men conceive ideas,
dream practical dreams and then put them into action
The world will progress in industry, commerce, edu
