Be a Gentleman

Be gentleman, young man, for it
will pay you a golden rate of interest.
You will never get anywhere by re-
turning surly answers. You might be
surprised to know that if you should
meet the president of railroad and
ask him civil question that you
would get most courteous reply.
Walk into the biggest concern in any
city and ask for the manager. He
will meet you with a smile and return
the blandest answer to you query. 1t
is the ignorant cub in the country de-
pot or the window washer in a big
Office who hand back the discourteous
answer. That's why they always re-
main cubs and window washers. The
fellows who reach the presidency of
railroads and the management of large
concerns do so because they are gen.
tleman and always return the soft re-
ply. 1t costs nothing to be gentle
man and besides you will find that
such route leads down beside still
waters and up through green valleys.
The churl plows through the mud OF
serfdom and breathes the dust of slav.
cry. You choose the path gentle.

Make Her q Partncr

'POwerful eXtravagant, that woman
of mine" said Nose, who was just
three weeks married. 'De very first
week she done ask me TO two-bts.
De next week she come begin for
four bits. Last night she plumb in
sisted she needed six-bits. Dunno
what Pm goin' to do with that wo-
man."
"What do you suppose your wife
does with SO much money!" asked
the bystander who had been listening
to the troubles of his African brother.
"Money!" calculated Nose in SUI
prise, "who said anything about mon
ey? ! amt give her de two-Dits
yet"
In modified degree this story rep
resents the attitude of great many
(not all farmers by any means) toward
that person who should be an equal
partner, says an editorial in the Mis-
souri, Rurallst. Missouri women are
not getting their rlghtiul share of the
money they help make. Many wo-
men earn enough every year caring

An Evening Hymn

The day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear;
o may we all remember we'll
That the night of death draws near.
We lay our garments by,
Upon our bed of rest;
So death will soon disrobe us all,
OF what we here possess.
Lord, keep US safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May Angels guard us while we sleep
Till morning light appears.
And if we early rise
And view the unweared sun;
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.
And when our days are past
And we from time removed;
Oh, may we in thy bosom rest
The bosom of thy love.

BECK PUPILS RECITAL

Apupils' piano recital was held in
the Methodist church last Saturday
afternoon at which time twelve Of
John Beck's piano students partici-
pated in a very interesting program.
Mr.. Fred Adams as soloist rendered
the beautiful "On Thou Sublime
Sweet Evening Star on the cello. AT
the close Of the program Mrs. Beck
read short biography of Beethoven,
after which Miss Ruth Wright played
one Of her selections, "Beethoven's
Farewell to the Piano." All the pupils
did exceptionally well and their work
reflected credit upon the diligence Of
their instructor. After the recital rs
students Of Mr.. Beck, both organ and
piano, were entertained at his apart
ments in the Broadway Black. Mr..
Leo Bartunek, an organ student OF
Mr.. Beck's, played two beautiful
selections, after which light refresh
ments were served.

summer, over twelve thousand teach
ers have been In attendance in sum-

many Of these students are teachers
in the rural schools who have for the
first time in their lives attended a

have gained much during their short

OBITUARY

7nDied, in Elyria, Ohio, Aug. rs, 1914,
Mrs. Mary Campbell Bullard, aged So
years, 5 months and two days. She
was born March %, 1926; married
to B. L. Bullard, Jan. Is, 1852.
Her father, Chester Boise, and
mother, Roxy Anna Todd, were mar
ried at Homer, N. Y, April 81, 1918.
Her father enlisted in the war Of 1912
and served two years. Her mother
was the first white child born in
Homer (now Cortland) N. Y, and
her grandmother, Lurina Todd, help
ed to raise the first log house built in
the seat Of the county. Her grand
father, Samuel Boise, served under
Gen. Warren, was wounded by Hes
sian bayonet at Bunker Hill; but he
killed the Hessian.
The death Of Mrs. Bullard removes
another Of the older class Of pioneers
of the Western Reserve. Only few
remain. And only few will appre-
ciate the worlds condition at her
birth and at her death. Since her
birth the mutations Of time have
made inconceiveable changes. Mrs.
Bullard saw the first steamboat that
ever sailed the lakes-the walk
in-the- Water" built at Black Rock,
N. Y, in 1918. She saw the first rail
road ever built west Of New York
the Sandusky, Mansfield & Newark,
now part Of the Baltimore & Ohio
System. She saw the first postage
stamp, the first friction match, the
first telegraph, the first electric light
but why attempt to enumerate !?

relieved, the states can, without in
crease of present appropriations, build
more miles than now Of the state
main market roads and inter-county
highways.
To continue our present State
Highway Department and to con-
struct, under supervision of that De-
partment, heavy traffic roads, such as
our main market and inter-county
highways, through the several coun-
ties, will relieve the counties OF one
half the cost of their construction and
the total cost of their future main
maintenance. Thus relieved, the
counties can, without increased
Of present appropriations, build
more miles of county road
and thereby still further reach
out into the more remote farm
| ing districts. To construct such a
system of county roads,which will be
heavy traffic roads through the town
ships of the county, will relieve the
townships of heavy portion of the
cost of construction and the cost OF
maintenance, and therefore thus, re-
lieved, the townships can, without in
crease of present appropriations, build
| more miles than now of their lighter
traffic roads and thereby reach all Of
the farming districts laying farther
est out from their towns and railway
stations. By this four-fold system OF
roads, there will be an impetus, as
never thought of, given to road build
ing throughout Ohio and the entire
nation. Authority and responsibility
will be divided, fixed without conflict
arising, and the people will know to
whom to give the praise for improved
roads and upon whom to place the
blame and responsibility for bad
roads. Uniformity and efficiency will
be established. Standards of con-
struction and maintenance will be
raised. Every locality of the state
will be given "Good Roads Every
where" by a we'll balanced, connected
system of main market roads, inter-
county highways, county and town
ship roads reaching out to the most
remote parts of the State.
To abolish or interfere with the
present laws governing the operation
of our State Highway Department
will be to abandon these splendid
plans and to remain in the mud. To
sustain them will be to give to Ohio
splendid system of "Good Roads
Everywhere" and with the utmost
economy. The money will get into
roads, where it belongs, and the cost
will be equally distributed upon
those communities best able to bear
the burden. In other words, the far
mer will get what he needs and what
he wants--a good road to the nearest
market town and railway ,tsation. The
city dweller will get what he needs
and must haye7a system Of roads
