Another thing that the Stacker who

his days To avoid bearing his part Of
the burden OF citizenship he has taken
upon his back burden that he can

very few years Possibly /, will only
last a few months, but when man is
married he is married for long. long
time, and when he makes cowardly
and da',ardy marriage, i, seems

The Stacker who think, that he is
getting out of doing his BIT by getting
married is as sure as there is a God

pletion when this subject is up for con-
sideration, there is nothing that would
have greater bearing on its final de-
termination in our favor. We all ad-
mire the skilled athlete who can step
out in dress suit and do his stunt
without missing his clothing. We
never question the quality of the mus
cles under the soft, covering. This re-
lay run may be dressed in the guise of
game, but there is much more in it
than that. We are playing for big
stakes.
If this relay run can be put through
on schedule time, we will have demon
strated that we have the road and that
we have the organization back of the
road. How about you and your country
and your road? Will success or failure
be the score where you and your peo-
pie are responsible for few hours of
progress?
Suppose transportation by rail broke
down, which many expect, and the War
Department should ask us if we could
relay troops from Fort Smelling to New
Orleans; what would be our answer? If
this relay run has been completed, that
would be the measure of our ability.
How is it going to measure up in your
locality?
The relay run may seem to be play,
but there is a serious purpose under
laying it. At the battle of Waterloo,
the English were called from the ball
room to the battle field. Are you and
your people and your country ready to
do your part in either performance?

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Mr.. ], d. Clarkson, mana
ger for the Jefferson Highway Asso-
citation:
There will be no change in the pro-
gram for the Relay Run on account of
the war.
While many may have considered
only the sociability features of this
run, there is much more-very much
more-in it than that. Under the soft
covering Of pleasure, we expect to dis
close the iron fist and steel muscles of
necessity.
We are now on record with the War
Department at Washington, to be used
as a military highway if the necessity
arises. Patriotism and self interest,
both point in the same direction, now
that the war clouds are far flung in the
horizon. We want the Jefferson High
way to be adopted as military high
way by the Federal government be-
cause such adoption means that the
Federal government would take over
and relieve US of the cost of up-keep
and bring our section into desirable
prominence. A laudable and patriotic
desire. On the other hand, it will hot
be many weeks until the Federal gov
eminent will De.looking for the most
feasible lines of connected highway
upon which to transport military nee
essities. This is our opportunity.

Mr.. e. j. O'Brien who ranks
among Americas leading literary
critics, in an article in The Boston
Transcript of recent date, published
a critical list OF the so best maya

ern Woman's Magazine is given a
special rating for its per cent of
distinction in fiction, Mr.. O'Brien
stating that he claimed no dog
matte sanctions in making his sell
oction but claims for it the signi-
icant value of an honest desire to
hfd the best which is being pro-
duceS IN America today
This Soming from the pen of
such a critic as Mr.. O'Brien makes
it of great interest and value to
