of Tennessee, ranking democratic
member of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce and
former chairman Of that committee.
becomes law the United States gov
eminent will undertake to construct
improved highways between all the
county seats in Washington and Ida
no.
The Sims bill is the most compre-
hensive highway measure SO far in
troductd in the Goth congress- The
bill is based on the theory that the
government is under obligation to
keep rural post roads in condition for
the carrying of the mails. The pur-
pose of the bill is to bring about the
construction of rural post roads be-
tween the county seats of the several
states. The first paragraph of the
bill specifies that Gin order to con-
struct and maintain rural post roads
the postmaster general is authorized
to designate all highways connect
ing county seats in each of the seve-
raj states as rural post roads,
The bill provides that appropria-
lions made under it shall be appor-
toned by the postmaster general
among the states in the following
manner:
"One-third in the ratio which the |
area of each state bears to the total |
area of all the states. one-third in the
ratio which the population of each
state bears to the total population
of all of the states, as shown by the
latest available federal census; one
third in the ratio which the mileage
Of rural post roads of each state
bears to the total mileage of rural
post roads in all the states"
For road construction during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1920, the
ill carries $25,0O0,0OO. The post
master general is authorized to de-
luct not to exceed five per cent Of
III appropriations to cover the cost
# administration.
The bill says:
"The term rural post road as used
n this act, shall be deemed to include
III public roads over which the Uni.
ed States mails are or may be trans
,orted that connect the county seats
# contiguous or adjoining counties.
The postmaster general shall cause
o be made such surveys, plans, speci-
ications and estimates as he may
equire.
Postmaster Given Reins
Cali road work in the several states
one under the provisions of this act
hall be under the direct supervision
f the postmaster general. The final
ost of the work shall include a :
easonable expense for engineering, t
lspection and unforeseen contin- 6
encies not to exceed 10 per cent of
lie total cost of the work"
The bill transfers to the postoffice I
apartment the office of public roads, :
hich is now under the department
{ agriculture. The final provision 6
{ the bill is that 'roads constructed .
nder this act shall be Of uniform =
andard of width and quality and of 5
ard surface, and upon an average J
lall not exceed in cost the sum Of p
$1,000 per mile"

The ones we love are not care,
The burdens that they bring we bear
With joy Of life, so glad to do
The tasks that we must face and
know.
With singing heart to put them thru,
With dancing feet to come and go,
To toll, to dig, to wait, to pray,
To fight the battles day by day.
Keep sweet, be true, than God

For those we love, with back to wall
No, not a care; there is no care
Too great for those we love to bear,
Too great for them to face and meet
With souls inspired and hearts made
sweet
BY sense of service high and clear
For all that comes from love is bright
And all there is in life Of light
And JOY and charm and beauty higl
Is what we gain from what we give
As all the struggling years go by
To help the ones we love to live.

am asked to speak to the toast Water
the purest and hest of all things God
created want to say to you that

the sleeping lids of infancy; | have
seen it trickle down the blushing
cheek of youth, and go in rushing
torrents down the wrinkled cheeks of
age. / have seen it in sparkling dew
drops on the blades of grass and
leaves of the trees, flashing like pol
ished diamonds when the morning sun
bursts in resplendent glory over the
easter hills. | have seen it tumble
down the mountain sides in cascades
fleecy as a bridal veil, with the music
of liquid silver, filling the vast forest
arches with symphonies sweet and
dim; | have seen it in the flowing
river ripping over pebbly bottoms,
purling about jutting stones, roaring
over precipitious falls in its mad rush
to mingle with the great Father Of
Waters, and in the Father Of Waters
have seen it go in slow and majestic
sweep to join the ocean. And have
seen it in the mighty ocean on whose
broad bosom floats the battle fleet Of
all nations and the commerce Of the
world.
