PAUL COOK.

beginning with the talk. I have never heard more genuine and spontaneous talk than he made on presenting the keys to Dr. Snavely at the installing services in the Methodist church. It was overflowing with feeling with deep un- dertone of religious sentiment, which bespoke the spiritual nature of true believer and consecrated Christian.
 The speech at the laying of the corner stone was the strongest presentation of the worth and dignity of Masonry that ever heard. He gave the fraternal idea its proper setting in the social, religious, economic and even political life of the people, As he warmed to his sub ject he swung out into the dream and hope of world peace, but not at any sacrifice of Ameri- can rights or principles.
 The address at Woodrow Wilson park was a masterly one. It was the utterance of the chief executive of the United States along broad lines of statesmanship. It was no mere grace full acknowledgment of hospitality, as sincere as was his tribute to Birmingham; but it was a fearless facing of facts of nationwide, yes, worldwide importance and tremendous signifi- canoe.

EXCELLENT WORK OF THE LOCAL TRAFFIC SQUAD

Now that Birmingham's great birthday week called to the work of group of men who did so much to provide for the safety and comfort of the thousands of visitors who were in the city
 The work of Birmingham's traffic squad was apparently flawless. Even President Harding said he had never seen better handling of d great crowd than that of Wednesday, Hundreds of visitors testified to efficiency of the men who kept the traffic arteries clear all week. To their work much of the credit is due for lack of accidents.
 Too much cannot be said in praise of the manner in which traffic has been handled in Birmingham during the past week.

ALABAMA HAY GROWERS ARE LEARNING ART OF GRADING

The federal grain and hay inspector located in Birmingham declares that the grading of Johnson grass hay shipped to the Birmingham market has perceptibly improved. This shows that the shipper is becoming aware of the inn portance of properly grading this product and giving it a standing in the market.
 Diversfication of crops has reached the point where it no longer seems to be serious prob lem Southern farmers have substantially abandoned the one-crop system and the one crop reliance. What they need now is business like marketing methods.
 It is common knowledge that Johnson grass hay contains more nutriment than timothy, yet timothy has been shipped here from the west and is now shipped here and sold at much higher price than Johnson grass hay simply be- cause the latter has not been standardized.
 The improvement noted by the federal in spector is encouraging and is probably the out come of the organization of hay growing asso- ciations in the black belt few months ago.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND
 MAINTENANCE.
rom the Kansas City star.

From the Kansas City Star
 In Maryland, according to the chair man of the state road commission road maintenance" " is a bigger word than road construction" Maryland has some of the most serviceable hard roads to be found in the country, This Is not because the roads were highly expensive in construction. The least expensive of the hard roads, the commission chairman says, have been made to render valuable service thru continuous, perfect mainten- ance at all seasons of the year" If sufficient funds are not provided for maintenance and for reconstruction when necessary, "this country is due struction," he concludes.
 This is a question which must be given serious attention in the road building program of Missouri for the next ten years. Naturally, there are various desires in connection with the forthcoming expenditure of millions of dollars on roads, but what nobody in the state wants is such an eXpen- diture as will leave the state vir- tually without serviceahle roads long before the bonds are paid off. What. ever the number of hard roads built and whatever the material of which they are constructed a system of maintenance must be provided or the construction funds will be practically wasted.
 The need is direct responsibility for preserving every foot of hard surface highway that will be built. The pa- trol system, which is in use in Mary land and few other states, has proved to be a dependable method of maintenance. "No hole of any size is permitted to remain in the surface of any roadn in Maryland. and wher- ever the patrol system is in thoro operation The plan of this system is virtually the plan of railroad main tenance in which section gangs con- tinually guard every portion of the lines and make them stronger and better adapted to traffic as the years pass.
 The cost of this system of main tenance has not been prohibitive or even heavy, when it's value is con sidered. A few hundred dollars year is a small charge for maintaining a mile of road that cost several thous- and dollars to build. The value of the expenditure is reckoned is les sened traffic costs and in the proven tion of heavy reconstruction work that will be inevitable without the maintenance. The initial expendi- ture on roads may be considerably re- duced if adequate maintenances is to ha unada nneqihIa

TEMPER

Take piece of steel
 Fashion it into tool
 Until it IS tempered the tool is soft and worthless. But temper it too muuch and al the first rough us- age the tool breaks and flies to pieces.
 Temper in man works the same way.
 The man without temper is like untempereo steel. The possibility is there, but without temper the man is soft and fabhy--a useless tool.
 Too much temper, and at first rougf usage the man flies to pieces. Hs stands the gaf no better than the ever-tenlpered tool
 Just as every other natural quality of man, temper has its use But tenn. per is for use, not abuse.
 Give g man temper with self-con. trol and one has the winning edge necessary t0 accomplish his daily task. When temper is demanded he has it. But his self-control protects him from it's abuse. He gives and bends and does not fly to pieces. He has the resiliency which brings him back after the shock, ready for the next job on hand.
 Men, like tools, need temper, but temper of right kind, in the right quantity
