there never has been a time since
the commencement of road build

the road appropriation has been
large enough to meet the require

The road commission has been

JOY in Tryiro.

Do not allow yourself to just drift
along through life. Set before you an
aim, some real purpose. Cultivate hope
and ambition to accomplish something.
Do not be contented to let things hap
pen; make things happen. Whatever
your business or occupation, aim to ex-
eel in it. Financial gain is not all one
gets from labor well performed. Your
character is elevated and your mind is
enlarged and the satisfaction in having
done well is the most re0l joy. Don't
be afraid to set your aim high. Gid
it with your highest ideals. Let the
hope of its attainment nerve your
every act. Turn incidents and cir
cumstances toward the attainment of
your aim. If you have no aim, you
reach nowhere. A life without pur-
pose is dreary thing, without real
joy. Suppose you fail to reach the
heights you have set as your stand
ard; you will have gone higher than
If you had not striven. You will be
more useful, of more worth, than If
you had not trled.-Milwaukee Jour.

A "sldereai pay"

In answering a correspondent who
asked the meaning of the term 'side-
real time," the Irish Times explains
that it is the only truly scientific man.
ner of recording time, and is that
which astronomers and TRvigators use.
A "sidereal day" is the precise time
taken by the earth in revolving on its
axis, and is % hours, So minutes and 4
seconds. Our sundials, however, re-
cord a very different day.
If you set up sundial in garden
and observe when it is noon today, and
again tomorrow, you will find that 1t
exceeds the "sidereal day" by three
minutes and SO seconds. The differ
ence is due to the distance that the
earth has travelled on its orbit while
it has been revolving on its axis. The
orbit motion makes it necessary for
the earth to turn nearly four minutes
longer in order to bring any place TO
the same position with regard to the
sun that it had on the previous day.
