have honored the various writer's
with their time in reading which they
donated to the writer who contended
for or against the bond issue. Read
ers make writing possible and sus-
tain the usefulness OF newspapers.
Discussions have not at all become
disputes, they have only brought
forth the identity OF each mans right
ful personality, and this valuable per-
sonality, like the hand of douglass
"Is his own" nor must be surrender
ed to king; and now, that the time
of voting for the bond issue is draw
ing near could the taxpayers who
have seen the wisdom of writing
against the bonds only take up arms
for the measure as yaliently as they
fought against it--what great, good
these men who could be fearless
would wind AROUND the county whose
present aud future Sbetterment is the
theme which compels them so earn

ward an act which they believe would
be Injurious to their county.
To vote for n public measure ask
ing from It's friends $750.000 requires
men not pegmies. Large hearted,
large Drained men culminate in large
large enterprises; the smaller ones
must drop through the spaces and un-
fortunately too often the bulk of de-
scent carries with it the mechanism
of itle. great enterprise. To be one of
the bulk that destroys is sorro%ful.
1t is known that habitually gazing
upon small things weakens the Wis
ion; and the "sight" of the eye ac-
commodating itself to small objects
is narrowed SO that it cannot behold
the large objects. This is so with
mind; to bring all objects OF consid-
GRAFTON within the scope or size of
penny or dollar narrows- the mind so
that it cannot behold the universal
good. To belong to universal good
is beautiful. 1t is belonging to the
clouds, the air, the sunrise, the hori-
zon whose sides beat against the
pulse of the world where vegetation
and wheel and forge and merchan-
disc greet q man and call him their
own for helping to. bring them into
being.

recall AbOu Ben Adhem who implored

Women, species OF being who as
organizations require the ease of
good roads more than do men who,
by their constituted strength, meet
danger and labor as heroes--coul6 all
women express themselves in print.
not one would be wanting to call

them the good road.
A beautiful little STORY read by
many, has told how the missionary
young woman rode into tic country
on the vehicle bronze on natives
shoulders out In China. She expressed
the ride which she had hoped TO
bring her health for the demands, of
her tasks in t3wn. In these words of
the sailor: .Just to cardboard, then
To star1board, then shiyeF my TIM
bers.s, This is the ride OF country
women In winter, and in summer
when the weather DEGREES rain.
Moreover, many women, who when
girls, wrote good compositions at
school, now at home-in the manner
In which they neglect Inueic-neglect
their composition, and deprive the
newspapers of much valuable aid In
supplying efficient literature to the
women of country homes. Men have
too little time, al.d women neglect
the opportunities thrown into their
hands OF keeping up the patriotic lit
srature OF home as an essential that
binds family to family IN country and
town in way far ahead OF the dis
tant fiction rendered them. by fnaga-
zines and cosmopolitan newspapers.
True, the. Leviathan oe Literature
said something like this: Woman
trying to write wus like a dog trying
to walk ON his hind legs; the wonder
was not that she did II so we'll but
that she did 1t at all,
This might be true in Johnson's
day when as few women were entitled
to read as were enabled to carry poc-
ket nandkerchiefs. But times have
changed, and every endeayor of the
girl at school keeps her shoulder Z
