IT PAYS TO PRACTICE
THE GOLDEN RULE

The statement that Henry Ford's
profits, last year, averaged one mil
lion dollars a week. ar $52,000,000 for
the twelve months, ELECTED the fol-
lowing from the mes-Union:
at is we'll known that Mr.. Ford is
paying the highest wages Of any en-
ployer on earth He was not COM
PEELED to pay them. Already paying
reasonable wages he suddenly an
nounced that he would pay mini
mum of five dollars a day. He did
this while other manufacturers were
Iclamoring for a tariff high enough to
double their payrolls to protect them
against the pauper labor Of Europe.
Mr.. Ford made no such demand. He
asked no help from the government.
He went ahead on his own hook and
put in force an unprecedentedly high
scale of wages.
cat the same time he was selling
his product cheaper than any of his
competitors and has presented in his
success a wonderful combination-that
of paying the highest wages, selling
the cheapest product and making the
most money. His competitors who
are charging three or four times as
much for their cars as he is charging
and who are paying much lower wages
than he is paying are left by him far
behind in the race for affluence.
"Henry Ford cares nothing for a
protective tariff. He says he would

ducts are concerned. He finds 1t pays

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

In world where death is, there is
no time for hate"
we do not know who first penned
this sentence. There is one newspa-
perman in Florida who carries the
pithy statement at the head of his
editorial column. Whether he lives
Eup to its preachment or not is not in
our province to say.
But 1t is great truth just the same
and to remember it and practice its
preachment would ennoble any human.
1t urges us to look at the better side
or human nature, to remember that
there is much Of good in the seeming
ny all bad, just as there is some weak.
ness or wickedness in the apparently
You, friend reader, have awakened
many times at dawn and heard the
sweet greetings which the feathered
songsters pour out of their little
throats, hailing the return Of day, and
departure Of night and it's sinking ter
lrors; no orchestra man has ever de-
vised or ever will devise, would rem
der or could render such heavenly
chorus or one that could penetrate
the Beyond and reach to the throne
of Him who sits on high Judging man
and his works.
Light and Love go hand in hand
upon the journey through life. They
ARE one and inseparable Love lives
through the dark periods of trouble
because light is always just beyond.
THUS every dark cloud will come to
have its silver lining, and Death sep
arates loving hearts only for a brief
space. The span of life is short; 1t
is but breath in the eternal passage
of Time-for Time halts not, nor falt-
,ers. Thus today is pushed aside, to
make way for tomorrow, and the
weeks and months and years pass and
harvest time succeeds harvest time.
"The Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away" dust to dust and ash
es to ashes" This then is the sum
of lief-except what man or woman
may achieve in good service to his or
her fellow. All else is dross.
What is death? The passing out
from life into a broader life; the un.
folding of the flower; to those who
pass onward into better existence 1t
is the drawing nearer to the Ultimate
God.
And so, "In a world where Death is,
there is no time for ate."-Tampa

MAP OF MIDLAND TRAIL

Copies have been received here of
handsomely eolored map of the
new Midland Trail which will cross
the country from Washington and
Richmond, Va, to San Francisco.
The Midland Trail is the only
transcontinental highway from east
to west which passes through Ken
lucky, the map showing that it viii

proceed along the line of the C. &
o. through Grayson, Morehead, Mt.
Sterling and Winchester to Lex
nigton, thence by way Of Frankfort
and Shelbyville to Louisville, and
westward across Southern Indiana.
The Midland Trail will parallel the
Lincoln Highway to Salt Lake City,
joining it there and following the
same route to the coast. Tie Trail
will be 1880 miles in length and
will be shorten than any railroad
route between Washington and San
Francisco by nearly two hundred
miles.

THE HOME TOWN

Some folks leave home for money
And some leave home for fame,
Some seek skies always sunny,
And some depart in shame.
l care not what the reason
Men travel east or west,
Or what the month or season,
The home town is the best.
The home town is the glad town,
Where something real abides,
IT'S not the money mad town
That all it's spirit hides.
Though strangers scott and fout it
And even jeer its name,
1t has a charm about it
No other town can claim.
The home town skies seem bluer
Than skies that stretch away,
The home town friends seem truer
And kinder through the day.
And whether glum or CHEEKY,
Light hearted or depressed,
Or struggle fit or weary
l like the home town best.
Let him who will go wander
TO distant towns to live,
OF some things / am fonder
Than all they have to give.
The gold of distant places
Could not repay me quite
For those familiar faces
That keep the home town bright.

BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS

Plants and flowers are forms of
beauty which can be made to serve
the home and its ideals as nothing
else can. And no home, however
poor and meager the furnishings,
need be without them. A little
thought and care can work wonders
with even the humblest surroundings.
When passing through the crowded
tenement districts on cars, note the
effort made to cultivate flowers and
vines in boxes on roofs and in ugly
back yards. Watch for the geran-
iums abloom in tin cans. The
youthful years are the important
years. The child who lives day
after day with flowers and plants
for companions will establish mental
and moral habits that make for sta
bility and soundness of character,
but recognition of this fact is slow
to become existant.

I'm the best pal that r ever had;

] like to sit and tell myself
Things confdentially.
/ often sit and tell me
/ shouldn't or 1 should,
And find that my advice to me
Is always pretty good.
i never got acquainted with myself
Till here Of late.
And l find myself bully chum;
I treat me simply great.
/ talk with me and walk with me
And show me right and wrong.
/ never knew how well myself
And me could get along.
/ never try to cheat me;
I'm as truthful as can be.
No matter what may come or go,
I'm on the square with me.
It's great to know yourself
And have pal that's all your own,
To be such company for yourself
You're never left alone.
You'll try to dodge the masses;
And you'll find crowds a joke,
If you only treat yourself as well
As you treat other folk.
I've made a study of myself
Compared me with lot;
And I've finally concluded
Tn the best friend that I've got.
Just get together with yourself
And trust yourself with you,
And you'll be surprised how well
yourself
Will like you if you do.

DOLLARS AND DUCKS

William X. Jones, in his most
excellent paper, the Frankfort
MOI Chronicle, says it is well for
young men to know that dollars
are like ducks--one follows an
other-and though they may waddle
along slowly and with some effort
they VIII eventually get there.
We nave young men in this town
who are just starting out on the
road Of Efe, but where the road
viii lead is for them to say.
They are earning few dollars
now and as time progresses their
earning capacity will increase. If
the early accumulations are thrown
to the birds it is more than likely
that in later life the buzzards viii
roost ON the graves of their am
bition.
But if their first dollars are
carefully laid away in a well-sewed
pocket, and this lesson Of thrift
and frugality is fostered and en-
eouraged, then in time the bank
will become the depository of their
earnings and accumulations and ev-
entually wealth and the eagle will
soar over the heads of successful
men.
Those who waste today will
squander tomorrow, and tomorrow
is the agent of the devil and the
prime minister Of he'll.
Keep an eye on the young men
of our town, but keep both eyes on
those who spend wisely but not
feolishly, who are full of life and
vigor, but never carry it to excess,
whose eyes are fixed upon the eagle
and not upon the buzzard.
Like the waddling duck, they may
advance slowly, but they will get
there in time.

HORSE LOSSES FOR KENTUCKY

That the automobile has diplaced
hundreds Of horses in Kentucky.
and that the sale of horses to go
to war in Europe is having telling
effect on their losses is shown by
Government figures which show in
this state $4,000 horses now as
compared with $4,000 a year ago
and All, 900 FIVE year ago, and the
average value per head is only 500
as compared with $95 year ago
and $1Os five years ago. The same
reports show 21,195,O00 horses in
the entire United States as against
q, 100000 year ago. The decrease
in the horse population Of America
was 5000, while the decrease in
Kentucky alone was 10000, or ac-
tually double that Of the entire ma
ton. Some other states, at least,
despite the inrOads made by the
European war, have actually in
creased their horse population;
while Kentucky, far famed as a
land of horses, has suffered a loss.
And the statistics on mules are
almost as discouraging Kentucky
has 229, 700 mules as compared with
231, 1000 year ago and $4,000 FIVE
years ago; worth $1O2 apiece as
compared with $106 a year ago and
SLIP five years ago.
