They talk a great deal about lost motion in machinery, but we hear very few lectures upon wasted efforts Man deals too much in derision and too little in commendation. Most of the critics on earth and most of the self-appointed reforners and most of the conceited good examples are mere squanderers of time-wasters of eff fort. You have met Binks who al- ways wants to talk about the mistakes of Winks, and Winks is so busy he has never discovered the faults of Binks; or if he knows a few of 'em he hasn't the disposition to talk about em! He knows if Binks talked less and worked more he would get more out of the ground and out of life for himself and his family. How the WOw-wows of life yell over the mis- takes in a football or a baseball game and call the players names and fill the air with bad language, get red in the face and sweat. We all seem to know what the other fellow ought to do or say better than we seem to know what we ought to do ourselves. Some of us are praying for other folks in great agony while the Lord wonders why we do not pray for ourselves. When you come to think of it, no machine has so much lost motion as the human machine.

It was Henry Ward Beecher who said: "Once nobody could own a book unless he had a fortune. Now a man that cannot afford to own a book ought to die" This was said nearly half a century ago, and books were never so cheap as they are today, yet then knowledge was so cheap that Beecher thought life was not worth living without it. There is no doubt a knowledge of books greatly en- hances the capacity of the mind for pleasure; but knowledge as well as wealth adds 10 mans responsibilities and cares. &O one can know more without doing moreno one can see more without fearing more-the great CT our power of comprehension, the more intense our sense of emotion. I hardly endorse the statement that a man who cannot afford a book ought To die, for it seems up to us to i'm prove his circumstances so that he can own a book and enjoy a more abundant life There is much in books not worth knowing; and there are multtudes of books not worth buy ing. The man who owns a, great book and becomes master of it is the man the world has been cautioned to be- ware of. So long as good books can be bought for the price of buns there is no excuse for not owning a few.

Because you have no taste for classic

Because you have no taste for classic music is no evidence you have not the power to recognize, appreciate and en- joy melodious songs. Classic music appeals to the intellect while the pop ular songs appeal to the heart. Class ic music could not be defined as "the speech of angels" but most any of us can think of religious hymns which seem to be "a prophecy of the life that is to be" Our enjoyment of music is limited to our ability to in- terpret it; and that depends upon our knowledge of 1t: but somehow the melody of a song sinks deep into a sympathetic heart. The power of music is immeaSurable for it affects all living things. Richter said: Music is the only one of the fine arts in which not only man, but all other an imals have a common property-nice and elephants, spiders and birds" Music can be claimed by no class and never yet has been mastered by a sin gle mortal. Bulwer was right when he said: music once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit and never dies. It wanders perturbaToly through the halls and galleries of memory, and Is often heard again dis tfnct and living, as when it first dis- placed the wavelets of the air.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Have you noticed that people who think before they speak do not gos- sip much. 1t is easy to gabble by the hour, but it takes mind and time to formulate and express ideas. It has become proverbiae that takers are no good doers," and that great takers are like leaky veSsels-all that is in them runs out" Only silence has been likened unto gold. It has been said: great men never talk to kill time they talk to save it!p This is hard on the LaFollettes and the Bryans but Uncle Esek's opinion has outlived this kind of statesmen. How good it seems to find man is talking because he has something to say. Perhaps it is because men become so garrulous language. Mans unruly member may be too much for heaven or hell. It Is quite a trial to have to listen even for a little while to common talk. guess we shall all agree with an eni- nent French writer who wrote: Tt is a sad thing when men have neither the wit to speak well nor judgment to hold their tongues"
 There is lack of patriotism in high places in this country. as is evl- denced by a charge made against some of the leaders in the political conventions at Chicago recently. One critic of the conduct of some of the political leaders who spoke there said if all the patriotism expressed in all their speeches could be got together and put into Q humntng birds eye. there was not enough patriotism in them all to make the bird wink The political tyrant and the political hog are pretty brazen in this country, and they are it's shame and cause most of it's disrepute abroad. What this, re- public is in crying need Of is leaders with less of the hog and more of the patriot in them. Between the finan- ciers, the commercial monopolists and the artful political dodgers there is a sharp competition to see who shall control the government-who shall make the Presidents of these United States play second fiddle. The pity of it is that they sometimes are success ful.

Schools in the early settlements were only "kept" a certain part of the year, varying from two to eight or nine months.
 In 1890 tie seIect ctmen were directed to provide @ schOOlmaster, the pupils to pay four pence a week, the remain der of the salary to be raised on the list. No further mention is made of schools, town wise until 1697 when Richard Bushnell was appointed to keep the school for two months that year, and to be paid in land.

Several years elapsed before the county grant was disposed of and a Latin school established; but the agi- tation of the subject seems to have aroused the towns to the importance of maintaining each a common school of it's own.

gauge standing at the high oil mark.
Victor M. Chalk says, in reviewing
the trip: 81 might add that this car
cared for itself so well and completed
the trip in such good condition that it
was purchased Immediately on my re-
turn to Roaring Springs, without al
lowing any discount for the wear Of
the trip. The writer can conscien-
tiously say that the Grow Elk-hart, on
account of being so well balanced,
takes better care of itself over rough
ground than any car he has ever had
any experience with,
R. F. Maddox, local representative
of the Crow Elk-hart in this city, in
referring to the trip, emphasized ev-
erything that he has said about the
car to local motorists. at emphasi-
yes the fact that motor car construc-
ton has been proven by millions Of
miles of service on the road and thru
years of service is the safe one for a
person to buy. The crow Elk-hart
people have not changed their chassis
principles during the histry of the
company, and as a result those prin-
ciples are perfected so that they are
tremendously economical in the own
er's operation of car and they en-
body little niceties of construction that
other makers who change the chassis
models regularly, do not get in their
cars. That is why the Grow Ell1-hart
49, belongs in the thousand dollar
class. 1t has 1l4-inch wheelbase, is
exceptionally light weight, ETC., all of
which makes it large, and at the
same time very economical car, as
was proven by Mr.. Chalk's talk.

R. F. Maddox, the local Crow Elk

an intensely interesting piece of "bor-
der news" in the information that
Victor M. Chalk, a Texas motorist,
had penetrated into forbidden parts of
Mexico in a crow Elk-hart 1876" Mr..
Chalk had just returned from 1,4OO

fearful conditions there were no Amer

The trip was made from Roaring
Springs, Texas, to Chihuahua, Mexico,
in five passenger Crow Elk-hart 49,
On this trip all kinds of roads were
encountered, from steep mountain
climbs to rocky lodges and the worst
possible desert sands. Mr.. Chalk had
no mechanical troubles of any kind
and did not even take his tool kit out
during the trip. He found that the
car experienced no trouble in negoti-
ating everything that lay in her path
although much of the road had never
been traversed by an automobile
Barring a few punctures, caused by
cactus, the car made a perfect score
and it was a nonstop run insofar as
mechanics went. The car came back
on the original castings and tubes with
which it had been equipped at the fac
tory, having made no other purchases
on the entire trip than for gasoline
and oil. Two gallons of oil was util-
lied on the car and it returned with the

embarked on one of the Canadian steamers. The owners of these steamers give that class or men special privilege in the way of reduction in fare because as general rule they are mighty nice fellows This one we have reference to, is particularly so He is big fellow; that is to say he is big up and down but not very broad around !; and he would not hurt flea. He would give 1t chance to jump, even in the fire if it wanted to rather than hurt it--he is that knds Any how, when he reached his home town the fool law got in his way and was told to "mush on' to Canadian port, put foot on the Canadian soil and then he could come back and make a landing. Did you ever hear such tommyrot?
 Most of us have heard that such law was on our statute books but precious few knew that 1t was ever enforced. But it was in this case. How ever it cost this man only one dollar more to put a foot on the Canadian soil. But he said that it was we'll worth the dollar as travelling gave him an appetite and that he eat like sixty. The sill mess of the law made him hungry; hungry enough to seat the law, book and all. Which would have made him sick. That's the serious side of it.

AHEAD OF TIME.

One of the leaders of the French Chamber ot Deputies is reported to have addressed a. large meeting of citizens, at which he proposed to dis member the German Empire at the end of the war, and said that before the allies would con slider peace, Germany will have to relinquish all her claims to territories west of the Rhine Each country of the Entente Allies wants its share and that after they are satisfied, there will be practically nothing left of ''poor Germany"
 From that we may we'll ask; What will they do with the Kaiser? What country will annex him? :? His relatives-rulers of vast domains, say they don't want him. The United States don't want to bother with him, and most ot the other coun- tries are too small for him. Then what will be- come of the poor Kaiser? However important this question may be- as much to the curious as to the interested parties, we need not worry for a while about what decision the allies will reach, because the Kaiser himself may have something to say before the time comes for division. "Nev- CT count your chickens before they are hatched' is a splendid rule to follow.

THE SERIOUS SIDE OF IT.

"A law is rule of action" and as such it should be respected. That much we concede. But there are laws that none can respect, because they are too silly for anything. They lack the essential element-sense. They make one feel in turn like getting cross and the next moment like laughing. They are so absurb. Some of our laws are so constructed that judge will twist them into notions, and these notions are set forth in large imposing books and laid on the shelves as sign that the owner is wiseacre. Later, these mo- tions become the rules that govern the officials.
