Both Parties Have Endorsed Good Roads

postal delivery, as well as meet the
needs Of military defense"
The Democratic party was just as
specific in the plank adopted at the
San Francisco convention. The plank
said in part:
Improved roads are of vital impor-
lance not only to commerce and indus
try, but also to agriculture and rural
life. We favor a continuance of the
present federal aid plan under exist
ing federal and state agencies, amend
ed so as to include as one of the ele-
ments in determining the ratio I'm
which the several states shall be en-
titled to share in the fund the area Of
any public lands therein"
This definite action of both parties,
the good roads enthusiasts declare,
proves conclusively that motor trans
portation has been recognized as a
definite factor in the nations economic
fabric and that everything will he
done to utilize it's value to the utmost,
Good roads construction is favored,
moreover, by both the Democratic and
Republican presidential nominees.
SO here is one thing on which both
parties agree.

SPOT DREADED BY SAILORS
Goodwin Sands, Off English Coast
May Well Be Called Graveyard
of the Ocean.

Goodwin sands on the English coast,
that have dread record running
back to the tenth century, if not fur
ther, had traditional and historic
interest, long before the unstable
sands became the terror Of naviga-
ton and the bane Of lighthouse build
ers. They have defied to this day
every effort to establish light The
place was once terra f1rma, an island
with the soft-sounding name Lomea,
the property of Earl Godwine-hence
Goodwin. By it's position at the, en-
trance Of Dover strait the islet was
subject to furious attacks by the sea,
AID money was regularly set aside to
keep up the fight But tradition has IL
that the fund was diverted from this
purpose to the erection of church at
Tenderden and, during
subsequent terrible storms, the island
Of LOmea was overwhelmed and its
transformed into the
most deadly dangerous spot on the
Kentish coast. 1t was there that dur
ing terrific hurricane in November,
1903. no less than 13 war vessels went
down in one of tho greatest marine dis.
asters of all time.

Joe had his first fling in big time
circles in 1908 with Connie Mack's Ath-
letics; but, coming from a small town
that was hid away somewhere In the
Carolinas, Joe couldn't get accustomed
to a big city. After eight days he left
for home and southern cooking. In
1909 Connie Mack reinstated him, but
going through the training season in
the South with the club he jumped the
team again. This time the day of the
opening game In Philadelphia. But In
1910 he came to stay, this time with
Cleveland. His hitting since has been
almost superhuman, and it is said that
he hits ball harder than any man
playing ball, not excepting Babe Ruth.

MUST STRIVE FOR IDEALS
Highest Type of Citizen Is He Who Is
Always Able to See Better
Things Ahead.

No citizen will ever come fully into
his own until he strives to reach a
high ideal. The boy who is satisfied
to pamper himself In the hope Of
reaching the top by magic is doomed
to failure. The exceptional happens
sometimes. Usually the man who rises
is the fellow who dares work and wait
and strive against odds. He must not
be satisfied with attainment, however
complimentary it may be. There are
always better things ahead If he is
willing to strive for them. He will
rise as he adds intelligence to vision,
sympathy to character and selfmas-
terry to both. Then he will crown the
ideals with faith in God and it's re-
sultant faith in his fellow men. He
will believe In himself enough to
dare the limit and try dozen times
to redeem former failures. He is
citizen who looks upon failures as OPP
portunities and makes them stepping
stones to power. The biggest bust
ness in the world today is the max
ing of citizens. And the nation with
the best citizens will rule the world.
