say, II don't want any paved roads
In NINE" @
Do you know that the State of Vtr-
ginia took judgment against our State
for about $4,000 900. That was used
for good roads when the two states
were together. II the whole state can
not pay this debt, how do you think
our district could pay this proposed
bond issue. We are informed that
Warrington district got about SO per
cent. of the money she voted applied to
the building Of her roads. What be-
came OF that 48 per cent. that was not
applied to road building?
Now gentlemen, II the money power
and automobile people T going to
force us into building permanent
roads, let us vote down the bonding
proposition and raise the levy Just
enough to amount to the interest on.
these proposed bonds, which including
u present levy will. bring about $685.
900 per year, and build this much road
each year, and In a few years we will
have good roads and have them paid
for. Now think seriously over this
bonding proposition and II you think
1t Is the proper thing for Lincoln dis.
trict, vote for 1t. but II you have any
doubt about 1t, you had better take
the safe side and vote against It..

Nights Dream discussing their love
affairs. Hernia says: The more l
hate, the more he follows me" to
which Helena replies: THE more |
love, the more he hateth me-" In
speaking Of the changes wrought by
times relentless hands he, in the 18th
sonnet uses this remarkable Language:
But 1 forbid thee one most heinous
q, carve not with they hours my
loves fair brow,
Yet, do thy worst, old Time; despite
thy wrong,
My love shall in my verse ever live
young
The following from the 29th sonnet
Charles "A. Dana's faVorite-is a
gem that glitters like a star in the
midnight skies:
Thy sweet love remembered such
wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state
with kings"
The opening Of the 55th sonnet DEM
onstrates his faith in the grandeur OF
his thoughts:
"Not marble, nor the glided monu-
ments
OF princes, shall outlive this power
full rhyme"
The list is perhaps the most sublime
of all. Four lines exhibit its elegant
tone:
ooh, If. l say. you look upon this verse
When perhaps compounded am
with clay,
Do not SO much as my poor name re-
hearse, 3
But let YOUR love even with my life
decay"
The 1st sonnet contains two lines
OF especially dazzling splendor:
"Your monument shall be my gentle
verse,
which eyes not yet created shall DER
read"
From "Corioanus'' We select this
most eloquent phrase: "The dust on
antique time would lie unswept, and
mountainous error be too highly heapt
for truth to o%ver.peer." Let us close
with two estimates OF Shakespeare,
the first by Ingersoll: "He left to us
the richest ~legacy.of all the dead-the
treasures Of the rarest soul that ever
lived and loved and wrought of words,
the statues, pictures, robes and gems
OF thought. He was an intellectual
ocean whose waves touched oil the
shores Of thought and from which now
the isles and continents of thought re-
ceive their dew and rain" The sec
ond from Eliza Cook:
"He held no honors from our schools
below;
God gave him more than monarch can
bestow;
For genlus-sfmple, mighty and sub
lime
Stamped him-the priest and poet for
all time"

IREAUTIFUL IN CHARACTER.

= N speaking Of the death OF Miss Lenora Ferguson,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Ferguson, who died
: sunday evening, a well-known man said Yesterday:
1T is indeed very sad. She was a beautiful girl and she
was just as beautiful in spirit and in character as in her
appearance
what a wonderful tribute. Would that It could be said
of all OF us that our character was without blenlsh, that
we were beautiful in the spirit
The death Of miss Ferguson is a sad blow to the friends
and -e,at1vcs Of the girl. She will be missed in the
household. in the school, in the church and by a host OF
loving friends. But how comforting the thought to those
who los ed her dearly, "she was beautiful in character
and IN ,pirit." Whenever her name shall be mentioned td
whenever thoughts of her arise in the minds Of those
from whom she has been taken the fact that "she was
beautiful in the spirit" will be recalled. Could there be
a more wonderful tribute and everlasting monument to
mortal than that sam g phrase.
1t IS said that those VINO are pure in heart pure in the
spirit, beautiful in character. shall see God. Believing
this. tonight the friends and relatives OF Miss Ferguson
know that while the mortal body from which the spirit
has departed has been consigned back to the earth her
spirit has seen God and is with God.
For those who are beautiful in the spirit death is, in
deed, blu: a highway between mortality and immortality

AMERICA FIRST
PROTEIN AND PREPAREDNESS

&T-ROTElN, that element of diet which builds and re-
IL pairs waste. and restores the energy OF the body, is
found in meat. For hundreds of years the roast beef
gofsold England was looked upon as the basis finer pow
kers&sRoast beef is no longer food for the common people
Eof5 England, and the aenemic condition Of army recruits
has astonished the military authorities and filled them
With apprehension.
The necessity for a liberal allowance OF meat, the en-
ergy maker. in the diet of the fighting man has led to
the feeding up Of the millions now under arms in Europe
on a daily ration Of meat to which they have never been
accustomed.
1.-The people of the United States are famous among the
nations FOR their remarkable energy. What this nation
has created and accomplished in the few decades Of its
existence, has no parallel in history.
The teople OF the United States have been big meat
eaters.
They consumed. a few years ago, 172 pounds of meat

against the threatened decrease in our stock of national

FAlRMoNT, April 25.-[Editor The
West virginianl.-As we are to have
an election on the 2sth Of the pres
ent month to decide the question OF
issuing bonds for $650,000 to build
permanent roads IN our district, we
would like for you to conside the follow
ing before casting your vote for bonds:
Do you know that It would take q
levy Of 80 cents on the 500 valuation,
or three times our present levy, to
pay the interest on the bonds and to
create the sinking fund will require
about the same levy: this including our
present levy will be something like
10 cents or 80 cents which will almost
double our present taxes. These bonds
are to run for a period Of thirty years
How many farmers OF today will be Nv
ing thirty years from this date? Do
you want to vote a debt on your prop
erty? It Is an evident fact that be-
fore one.half OF these bonds become
due that all the oil and gas will be
gone, and our prosperity will have to
fall back on the soil for q living. Can
they make a living and pay this debt?
Take the states that are bonded heav'
lily. You can buy nice farms for less
than the dwellings on them cost. You
ask why? Just because the people
years ago did just what the automobile
people are asking you to do, tvote
bondsl. They have been burdened
with high taxes so long that they want
relief and are willing to sacrifice their
farms and get out.
No doubt a number OF you know men
who have gone to Ohio and other
states and bought those cheap farms.
but when they got them and found
out how they were taxed, they left
their money, IL they had any, in the
banks Of this state rather than pay
the exhorbitant taxes exacted from
them IN the state where they now live.
We all admit that good maoadam roads
are all right, but are the paved roads
good for the farmer? Take your team
on them Of q frosty time, and you will
