he was more than this, for he was a
fighter. and a fighter against heavy
odds, and his splendid courage was
like battle cry to arms to other souls
fighting against disaster.
Twain lost all his money. When
through the failure of a publishing
house in which he was interested, he
became involved to the extent Of
500, 900, he set himself grizzly to
work to pay his debts. After those
debts were paid-and they were paid,
to a penny-then he set TO work to
lay up competency for himself and
his family. And this he did.
Mark Twain was a funny fellow He
made people laugh, and we love him
for his gift of laughter, but we ad-
mire him for his fine courage.
Wouldn't he have made a splendid
booster?
Robert Louis Stevenson was the
very soul of courage. He suffered
martydom of the flesh and the spirit,
but he was one of the greatest boost
ers the world has ever known.
Henry Van Dyke is another. There
is not a song that he sings that does
not breathe of high courage. He al
ways boosts.
All of these men have suffered
much, but they have suffered bravely
and they have flung out flags of cheer
TO the rest of the world. They sang
songs of courage to others while their
own ships were laundering in the
dark, and by the very light that is
born Of the storm of disaster, they
came at last to the harbor Of safety.
They were splendid boosters.
Life is made up of coura geous souls
like this, only We don't always hear Of
them. Some of them do not sail the
seas OF romance, but drive over cob
blestones behind lame steeds.
But their wagons are hitched to
stars.
What kind of a wagon do you
drive?
Hitch your wagon to a star"
Be a booster.

The Doctrine of the

made a splendid booster.

he said. And turning away, without
even a sigh, he took up the business
of his life again.
Emerson had ideals. He lived in
and by and for those ideals He spent
no time in vain reg~etting. He did not
waste his time in idleness. Life was
a battle ground with him, but it was
a battle-ground of the spirit and not
Of the flesh. He not only hitched his
wagon TO star. but he drove blithe-
~ over difficulties that most men
would have stumbled over. and prob
ably been wrecked over. And he died
n conqueror OF the soul.
Another man who would have made
a splendid booster was Mark Twain.
He was past middle life when he lost
all his money and had to start over
again. For so long he had laughed
and had made other people laugh.
that maybe that made it easier to
laugh at his own roubles-and maybe
it made it harder. 1t must be sorry
thing to have to laugh always, in sea-
son and out OF season. But 1t is a
brave thing. Mark Twain went on
laughing. though now and then he
struck a minor cord, but it only gave
to his comedy the SAVIOR that contrast
always gives.
Mark Twain was one of the worlds

A bridge at Molino, would open up
a section of country, that is like
buried talents either to Pensacola or
Milton.
A bridge at McDavid and Bluff
Springs would open to easy access
the most fertile part of both counties
as far as farming for all around pur-
poses are concerned, thus the advau-
tages of both counties would be thrown
open for development at one time.
We heard parties who were pros
pecting after going over the lands in
the northern part Of Santa Rosa, say
If there was a bridge across the river.
we would like to invest over there,
but getting over the river, let us by all
means make ways to get over the
river.
Alabama has made a way in the ex-
IRENE part of Santa Rosa, and the
trade OF that section is going that way.
Some large land holders at present
may oppose bonding the counties to
build the four bridges, because they
have not as yet reaped all of the nat
ural resources from their lands, tim
Der and turpenune. and it would ad-
vance the value Of their land and in
crease their taxes Yet as soon as they
exhaust the timber and want to sell
their lands, they will advocate roads
and bridges everywhere. Are we to
wait until then? Now is the time
to act. IT'S is plain as the noon day
sun as far as bonds are concerned
These two counties will never feel
the bonds for the four bridges, for it
will instantly throw open fine areas
Of land that is now inaccessible to set
Element.
We can make twenty-year bonds:
invite bridge builders to build one or
the four: trim the contracts so as no
gratis are to be put on which often
makes the people afraid of bonds, and
well they may be unless contracts are
thoroughly expressed and understood,
which in all public matters should be.
Let US advertise by not telling what
can be done, but by having good roads,
good schools and easy access to both
counties. by four good bridges, best OF
water and lands for all purposes. The
first three depends upon us; the last

$5l7, 44S, or an average of $23,512 each.
Regarding the eighty-four estab-
ments reporting more or less extern
slve engagements, the total outlay
reported was $2,0SS, 493, which sum in
cludeS the cost of the additional ma
chinery equipment required. The
total outlay for manufacturing ex-
pansion during the year 1913 was.
therefore, $2,605,941. One of the new
buildings is to be rented to small
manufacturers in floors or lofts with
power, two are to be embroidery and
lace industry, two for women's under
wear and two for cooperage purposes.

The city of Newark Is credited
.th four new plants, and very ex-
tensive engagements of forty three
previously existing establishments
The amount invested in factory ex-
pansion during the year in this, the
principal centre of manufacturing in
dustry in New Jersey, was $1,246. 6S1,
or nearly 80 per cent. of the total for
the entire State Elizabeth comes

BOOST AGRICULTURE.

(By Associated Press.)
ROME, March 23.-Agriculture is
proving so successful in Tripoli, the
new Italian colony in Africa, that
the government expects to see soon
a great deviation of the usual emigra-
ton to the United States in favor of
the opportunities near at hand. The
italian soldiers in Tripoli, with the
fatigue of war past and the most ur-
gent roads built, are experimenting
with various kinds of agriculture to
learn what is best adapted to the soil.
Already immense tracts which have
hitherto yielded only thistles are
green with the promise of abundant
crops, the government having distri-
buted thousands of bushels of grain
among the Arabs on the condition
that it is returned when the crops
are gathered. At Azizia the harvest
of barley has been multiplied 40 times
and at Sosfa medical herbs and po-
tatoes are being grown with great
success.

The advent of the woodmen in Vir-

increase in police court business, tales
of money lost, much singing Of come
