In this agreement it is insisted that only best of highways shall be built.
 The housing problem is not confined to any par ticuar part of country. Everywhere the plea has gone out for more homes and it is estimated by an official of the United housing corporation that there is present in this country of 5ooooO0 homes This figure been reduced somewhat by other authorities appreciahle extent.

Sore Texas Democrats

The democrats of Texas were before in unhappy a frame mind politically A very large number them. majority, dissatisfied with everything-wfth administration with the present democratic candidate for the presidency, with his platform but they especially dspeased with their candidate for governor, Neff-
 The average Texan democrat will agree that Neff is lightweight; they denounce his land taxing plank though they have been quietly assured that they have heard the last of it that the primaries and rum off It only for primary consumption by the democrats in the sticks"
 Neff not the choice of the majority, not respectable minority. The democrats of Texas were offered a choice.
 The appearance of Bailey in the field scared off all aspirants of any standing Only the foolish. and them. Neff rushed in where angels feared to tread Neff only a little scrubby than the others who presented themselves A majority of the democrats for or another want Bailey. very influential that they did not regard him citizen. While they admitted his ability they resented his intrusion. If President Will son could some pretext have claimed citizenship Texas and sought the gubernatorial nomination the resentment would have been still greater
 So, when in the run-off the contest was reduced to Bailey and Neff the latter though Bailey in the primary was chosen because there nobody else to choose against the uitlander.
 The truth of the democratic situation in Texas is recognized by the republicans s only regarded as interesting but all important. There is no republican out of captivity who the flattering unction to his soul that it anything in his young political life He has Texas democrats perform at the polls before observed that their performance consistent
 It is true that they they are demo- crats, and will be recognized by Gabriel on that last, splendid day when the heavens shall be rolled together a scroll.

STONE MOUNTAIN
By Or. James |. Vance

It Is fifteen miles from Atlanta, rather Atlanta is fifteen miles from it, for it before At ianta dreamed of, and there after that ambitious city has been forgotten.
 It is solid nugget of granite mile long and eight hundred feet high, rising plain and looking down upon you in sullen and sublime grandeur as you stand at it's base There be those who call it the eighth wonder of the world
 What stone is Stone mountain Not a pile of stone not successive layers rock but just solid block granite
 What a story great stone could tell The tears of AIl the centuries have tricked down it's has wept. The storms of all ages have broken on Stone mountain and there scars to show where Heaven has hurled it's thunderbolts
 Forests have grown up it's and died and other forests have grown died and so through ceaseless cycles but Stone mountain has treated the trees though they the leaves of autumn
 Successive of have made their homes in the plains and have gazed up at the big rock and spoken their wonder in strange tongues but the mountain has not changed with changing cviIiza- tions that have beat about base. The light of far stars has made it's salute as it passed out of measurelss it's way distant worlds and the big granite rock has the salute in silent grandeur. It has told age. and no arit1a- metic compute how long will live
 great scupltor has dreamed that he might carve the memorials of human war on It's cheek and blast hall of fame in its side; but the greatest of all sculptors, the Almighty. already carved the memorial of eternity Stone Mountain and it is one of Gods temples of fame
 And yet Stone Mountain, the eighth wonder of the world, is just tiny pebble planet earth and earth tiny atom in the sweep of endless worlds.

HEREDITY
Bv Rooer w Rahson

By Roger w. Babson
 We hear great c lamentng over inherited traits.
 Much of the blame for habits is shifted to the shoulders of forefather.
 It is true we do inherit certain characteristics and tendencies
 It is perfectly absurd assume that they are to blame for all shortcomings, and that we must be a slave
 You absolute master o your own fate No hereditary taint is half strong IS your own will.
 No hereditary taint have any hold upon you if you decide otherwise.
 You don't have to be the slave of something desirable just because someone else has been. Stop blaming dead people for your own mistakes Start anew with the firm resolve that you will be stronger than inherited instinct.
 Throw old habits and desires
 Form new desires-new habits.
 Get a new start and think thoughts. Listen to the warnings of the higher self Tomorrows will shape themselves more easily if today is well lived.
 Be good, and the tendency will grow until you are again the slave of habit for which you can thank yourself-the habit of goodness
