THE BEST LETTER

You may write thousand letters to the
maiden you adore,
And declare in every letter that you love
her more and more,
You may praise her grace and beauty in
thousand glowing lines,
And compare her eyes of azure with the
brightest star that shines.
If you had the pen of Byron you would
use it every day
In composing written worship to your
sweetheart far away,
But the letter far more welcome to an
older, genter breast
Is the letter to your mother from the boy
she loves the best.
Youthful blood is fierce and flaming, and
when writing to your love
You will rave about your passion, swear
ing by the stars above,
Vowing by the moons white splendor that
the grille you adore
Is the one you'll ever cherish as no maid
was loved before.
You will pen full many promise on those
pages white and dumb
That you never can live up to in the
married years to come.
But much more precious letter, bring
ing more and deeper bliss,
Is the letter to your mother from the boy
she cannot kiss.
She will read it very often when the
lights are soft and low,
Sitting in the same old corner where she
held you years ago,
And regardless of its diction or its SPELL
ing or its style,
And although its composition would pro-
woke a critics smile,
In her old and trembling fingers it be-
comes work of art,
Stained by tears Of joy and sadness as she
hugs it to her heart,
Yes, the letter of all letters, look wherever
you may roam,
Is>the letter to your mother from her boy
away from home.
-William F. Kirk.

AS we passed through the yard last
week we saw tomato plants two feet high
and with green tomatoes hanging from the
stocks. Possibly the green house attendant
could explain the phenomenon.
Saturday, May 1, we enjoyed our first

was not up to standard but none COM
planned. Our baseball team took advan-
tage of the occasion and had a good prac-

THE BEST FRIEND, AFTER ALL

When you live on Fortunes street people
whom you daily meet,
Are always very social and so dear,
But let sorrow come your way, and mis-
fortune all hold sway,
And friends of sunshine days will dis
appear.
But there'll still be one, who's smile, will
be with you all the while,
Who's gentle words will cheer you
should you fall;
Who will not forget the past, but will
cling while life shall last
Your mother, the best friend after all.
When a baby, her arms shielded you
from wild alarms,
As she rocked you to sleep upon her
breast;
And when childhood came in play, how
she watched you, day by day,
Yes watched and prayed for you, she
loved the best.
Now you've come to mans estate, she still
watches at the gate,
And how she smiles when ere she hears
your call;
And she charms the old home place with
her gentleness and grace
Your mother, the best friend after all.
Yes, mother is the best friend, after all,
we often find when gone beyond
recall;
Treat her kindly, while she's here, for
she's all to you that's dear
Your mother, the best friend after all.

must deliver constantly without skip, be-
tween four and five hundred complete and
distant sparks in a second, we become
aware that such things as these are extra
ordinary, history making achievements
which by the majority are unnoticed.
A great boast in auto improvement
some think, is the electric. Although an
elegant product, which shows features of
craftsmanship, there are not many in USE
Perhaps it is because some types of gas
cars are within reach of most everybody
The fine electric is essentially the car of
the discriminating minority. One thing
is plain for superior cleanliness and safe
ty, ease of operation, artistry of interior
fittings, the electric is unequaled.
After careful summing up of these
figures and any others we may have in
mind, we ask ourselves why this success.
What is there about the automobile to at
tract an entire race, to the extent to make
such a success possible. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the physical needs Of
man are his primary needs, normally they
must be satisfied first, but with the physi-
cal wants satisfied, his mental and spirit
ual nature, as insistently Graves beauty,
capacity to enjoy beauty, and desire to
possess what is rare, lead men according
to their means to willing pay much more
for beautiful object than for an equally
useful one lacking that quality. There
fore my answer for years has been in one
mere word, beauty. Select any feature of
any car you wish, without beauty this
success would have been impossible. This
never ending craving to possess things of
a beautiful appearance has been back of
this industry from the very first. Yet
beauty is very largely matter of har-
mony and proportion, it is impossible to
conceive of pleasing effect in harsh I'M
related lines or color schemes which con-
Aict, therefore the first law of art is unity,
and the principle applies in architecture,
sculpture, painting, or any Otner 10TH OF
commercial art. Automobile designers of
artistic taste have achieved their effects
through strict confirmation of this law.
Their late vehicles are supremacy beauti-
full because they are studies in perfect
harmony and proportion. Such is the
theory from the ford to the highest priced
car in America. A mere glance at the long
graceful sedans, you will see beauty in
every line. This should convince you
that this distinction is justified by all
manufacturing standards.
