What Service Is.

The most blessed of human endeavors
is service-the service that educates
and builds and makes this old world a
better and happier place in which to
live and work. Service is the spirit Of
the hour. 1t blesses him that gives and
him that gets; it is the brotherhood Of
man in business; it is the helping hand
extended unselfishly; it is bread cast
upon the waters; it is way of help
ing ourselves by helping each other.
The best that can be said of any man
is this: ''He served others that they
might better serve themselves. Bar

Cultivate Your Aspirations.

Very few people are satisfied with
the work they are doing. Many of
them have aspirations for something
better, more congenial.: If you have
any natural leaning toward a higher
grade of work, says Physical Culture
Magazine, don't strive to put it out of
your mind, but try to keep it very
much in your mind. 1t may indicate
a field for which you are especially
gifted. If you have any ambitions, cul-
tiyate them. 1t is only those who dare
to follow the guiding star of destiny by
encouraging and cultivating these aspi.
rations who ultimately move forward
to their realization.

imports of native asphalt and of road

the survey. Although the output was
a little less in 1918 than in 1917. the
value exceeded that of any preceding
year and the general prosperity of the
industry was shared by practically all
its branches
