IN THE AIR

aviatrix to sail through the air over the land and the sea, to look down upon the people as tiny things moving about What a great sensation it would be to feel the huge machine raise itself from the ground. feel the winds pressure as I make my many darts and turns, And what fun at fairs to look down at the thousands of people who stand with upturned faces as I step from one machine to another, swinging on ropes through the air, and. with my many stunts in peace as we'll as war. win a name that for many years will have existence.

 Tempe, Arizona. (Just to read about this airy ambi- tion is exhilarating. The writer surely has a way of looking only on the bright side of things.s
 The theme appeals to the reader because it deals with subject matter purely in the realm of the imagina- tion. The writer would probably en- joy reading Keats sonnet on First was a traveller in the realms of gold" "THE WORLD IS A BRIDGE; BUILD
 NO HOUSE ON IT"
 The world is a bridge. We mortalS merely walk on it, and all too soon reach the end. Yet, century after century, men have murdered and plum dered and with lust and greed, sought to provide for themselves magnificent dwellings, and gain power over others. And to what end? Death called and the summons had to be answered, per- haps at the height of their glory. while the endless ages revealed nothing but ruins of the once splendid palaces. How much nobler would it have been, if. instead of constructing fine and mighty monuments for their personal conceit, they had built comfortable homes for the poor and now1y, By such an act they would have built for themselves an immortality which the years can never destroy. That which we build for ourselves must either leave unfinished, or soon after it is finished, and later time effaces it; but that which we prepare for others will endure
 Again. what else can we do to sat isfy our desires for achievement, to gratify those parts of the soul with a creative force in them? To build yes, to build not only structures of comfort our bodily existence-but something higher. something that comforts the spirit; such as art. lit- erature. and music. These are inn mortal. they always live, even after we have crossed the bridge into Eternity

 SUCCESS
 What is success? What is this that We are all striving for? Do you think thal you nave to be a president, senator, or millionaire, or some dis IC had fef1o r,f.f4 success?
 1 certainly think not. I think the happy cowboy is a success in a way. The senator is a success in politics but he may be a complete failure in, other ways The millionaire is a suc- cess Tn hls business but as a man he may be a failure
 l believe that it is more important 10 De success in some of the smaller things, as people class them, than it is to be a success in business, though this too, if of no little importance.

 The use Of the '"Neighbors" is offered AiSS lo any country theater which will use a part of the funds so raised for the following purposes, or will prevail upon some member of the community to carry out the following:

 To plant fruit tree by the road side; or To plant spruce or balsam to be used. when so desired, as a community Christmas free One tree for every performance of the play. And if the producers wish to give really good measure for the use of the play. it is recommended that they conclude the evening with community gathering, with community singing and dancing. and discussion of the things which their community needs. Furthermore. is it understood that the producers. the cast and the aud fence at such a performance shall all be neighbors to everyone, as long as they live
