THE ROOF OF THE WORLD

When the tasks of the day are ended
and the lamps Of the House are
lit,
And the chambers are filled with
laughter where the lords Of the
dwelling sit,
When the care of the living day like
dusty flags are furled,
/ climb the mounting stairway that
leads to the Roof of the World.
Apart from the worlds confusion and
din l sit aloof,
Content to dream in silence in the
peace of the worlds wide roof:
But the murmurous hum of voices
comes up from the rooms below
And fills my ears with music and my
heart with kindling glow
The stars are near above me and
friedly their faces seem:
Like neighbors they sit with me as I
sit on the roof and dream; i.
They stoop like giant kinsmen and
take me by the hand
And lead me unresisting along their
goodly land.
When the hour of dreams is ended I
turn from the roof again
To join my human comrades in the
rooms of the, House of Men:
For my heart responds to my fellows
(their words like music purD
And answers the God who guardeth
above the Roof Of the World.
Exchange.

gambling venture
But on the other hand the man
who believes life is a gamble, with
luck the controlling genius and
guarding angel, makes the mistake
that has crossed the Roadway of Life
to be Uttered with Whftened Bones
of Million Of Failures. In the max
ing or marring of ones life there
is no such thing as luck" and chan
ces play no part whatever in the win
ming or losing Of the worlds big
prizes.
So it is in the Campaign business.
Chance plays no part with the success
or failure Of the candidates in The
Herald and News Campaign.
A real live candidate in this CAM
paign will work and take advantage
Of the opportunities offered. They are
ever on the alert for opportunities
and quick to take advantage of them.
Who VIII Be Successful?
The successful candidates in this.
Campaign are going to be the young
ladies who are ever on the alert. The
candidates who see to it that no ep-
portunity is being allowed to slip ey
unobserved. They will be young Ia
dies who will make their own oppor-
tuaities BY seeing every prospectus
subscriber, and getting those who
have given them short-term subscrip-
tions to extend their subscriptions
two years or more, especially during
this extra vote offer, which will B1-
pire 10 o'clock .. NJ. Saturday, De-
tober 28th. The candidates who will
secure these Extra Voting Certificates
Will be young ladies who know about
things.
They will be candidates who ares
always in training.
They will be candidates who think
about things.
They will be candidates who E!n
the prizes Of life, and not those who
procrastinate.
But those who do not trust to
luck" Those who do not depend
on chance.
They will be those who work.
Those who have some control Of
themselves, and are arbiters of their
fate
Do not trust to luck" but get
busy and secure enough subscriptions
to earn at least two or three Of those
Fvtra Voting Certificates good for
100000 Extra Votes, which will go a
long way toward securing the prize Of
your choice
Get busy today and stay busy, and
get your subscriptions in by 10 o'clock

The time is growing rather short,
gentle reader. Do you realize you
have but six days in which to reap
the benefit Of the greatest oportunity
you will have during ehis campaign to
secure extra votes? Almost every
candidate in this campaign fully ap-
preciates this opportunity and are
putting forth every effort to gather as
many subscriptions as they can by
Saturday, October q.
The campaign department wants to
impress upon every candidate that
they may secure as many $1,000 clubs
as possible. We are forced to admit
that some few are holding back,
claiming they have no chance" mo
luck" and do not fully appreciate the
magnitude Of this offer.
Do not hold back, but get in the
campaign and secure the prize Of
your choice by pluck, not luck.
Are You a Gambler or a workers
The world is a wheel Of fortune.
Men are gamblers. They must take
the prize at which the wheel stops,
and be resigned to their fate, if they
draw blanks. Judging them by their
method Of living, that is, the creed a
vast number of inhabitants OF this
terrestrial globe. Following the prin-
ciples embodied in that creed, We
must believe that life is all chance,
and that our destines are guided and
ever ruled by the Goddess Of Luck" "
He depends on. the turn Of the
wheel, or the turn of the card. He
bets his money, in many cases he
staF es his all on "the turns" II his
turn brings him 'big win," he is
happy; if it throws him small prize
he is depressed; if he draws blank,
he is further depressed. But if he is
game" he takes his medicine like a
man, whether he wins or loses;
whether he draws q, prize or blank.
He is either lucky or unlucky," be-

And Of pictures, as Buster says. We

we must use big bait But as long

ion or the difference between these
,wo words. Had you ever seen them
defined before? And isn't the defini-
ton just as plain as can be? That
man Wilson is pretty big fellow. He
no doubt has some faults just like all
of us who are human have, but he al
ways says something worth while when
he opens his mouth, he seems to me
to say the right thing and to say 1t
in the right way. Now didn't like
his foreign policy very nluchti but he
seems to have known more about that
than | did even, but somehow he al
ways seemed TO me to be leaning with
the allies too much, but | reckon he
knew better what he was doing than
I did, and nave come to conclude
that he will be the means Of bringing
about peace yet. But what We want
here in Newterry, South Carolina, as
soon as we can is to get rid of that sat
isfed feeling, 5 to get together. Get
co-operation-not combination-oO-
operation-that's the thing we need
right here in Newberry-"all OF he
getting together" And then pulling
together. Mr.. Wilson didn't try to tell
those farmers how to farm, but he told
them about the laws which congress
had passed looking to the bettarmcnt
of the farmer and how the times had
changed and how there were still
changes going on and how the govern
ment was sending the experts into ey-
cry community to help to make bet
ter farmers OUT of them. No doubt
there will be some one to say that
what I write doesn't amount to any
thing-that it is only like unto a lit
tie fee barking at big dreadnaught-
Well. that may be, but have always
heard that the cat could look at the
moon. And I am going to keep on
barking and looking at the moon, ESQ
pecially on these beautiful October
nights when the moon shines down in
this part of the universe as it does
nowhere else.
And this reminds me of resolution
of Tige that l read in one of Buster
Browns funny papers. 1t runs like
this:
Resolved, That the disagreeable
people should all be put together in
one place and every opportunity should
be given them to be just as mean and
Gisagreeable to each other as they can
maybe they might quit it. No. They
don't know they are disagreeable.
They think it is the other p>rson.
Besides they want to be mean and
ornery-it makes them happy. There's
only one thing to do with the sad
soul or the crouch: Run. Don't lis
ten. 1t isn't good for you. 1t isn't
right for you to let others pour their
troubles in your ear. 1t makes you
unhappy TO hear it and it only makes
them magnify their trouble and give
IL importance. Tell them you have
an enlargement Of the "oh, be joyful
club" as the chairman oi the COM
mittee on forgetfulness There's so
much unpleasant stuff loose that
we should laugh at it and kid it.
Don't lets be serious. It's a bore.
Tige."
Now that's fine philosophy. Let's
forget the unpleasant things we hear
And yet do you know there are lots
of people right here in this good and
satisfied town who had rather hear
and repeat unpleasant things about
people and forget the good than to
have a good square meal Of jay bird
eggs. Let's forget the unpleasant
things. And all of us join the "Ot,
be joyful club"
The Idler.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-10-27

Resolved. That apropos Of nothing,
let me observe that the men who
catch big fish use big bait and go
where big fish are. Those " 70 catcA
little fish use little bait and simply sit
and wait. Men who are after BIZ, busi-
ness use big advertising space. They
know you can raise more corn on two
acres than you can on one More
people see a big advertisement. If
there is picture in it more people
see if. This is a picture age. Mer-
chants who hire a store and buy a
stock and sit and wait will have their
shelves half full of out of date goods
next year worth only half .heir val
ue. If you advertise you keep things
going and get full prices for new
goods"

By the way, this reiL:nds me Of an
other thing. Did yoG read President
Wilson's s7eecb at Shadow Lawn the
other day, which he made to the farm
ers? If you didn't, and have the op-
portunity, be sure to take time TO
read it. 1t viii be worth your time.
All of Mr.. Wilson'S S speeches are worth
your while to read. But l was struck
with one thing in this one particular
ly. These two paragraphs appear in
that speech:
Now | want to illustrate in an
other way that has nothing to do with
farming, what we have been trying to
accomplish and want you to keep in
mind, as the central word of the whole
idea of government that I am trying
to expound the word Cooperation
"And want you to contrast that word
with the word combination
cooperation means all Of Us getting
together; combination means some
of US getting together and doing as
we please"
Now, want you to get the distinc-
