Something to
Think About
THE ENROLLING QUEST
By F. Il. WALKER

@ INCE the Punishment Of Adam and
10 Eve from the garden Of Eden
there has been a quest among
their kind which has continued with
out intermission.
In this question there is at every
turn Of our hands and every shift of
our eyes, signs Of fear, doubt and
greed. Time lightens not the labor of
it, but the chase continues. All hui
mans are in the struggle, seeking
something's cherished ideal or some
tangible substance which they would
gladly clasp to their bosoms and call
their own. But the reward is for the
faithful.
The faithful and those who heed the
teachings Of the Golden Rule plod
along uncomplainingly, steadily and 81
lently like the tides. They accept
conditions and do their best.
They know not the petrifying fear
that makes moral towards of the lag
CARDS, who shirk duty and are
dSlldulCu " SOll lACll WIN tAO
CRIME Of honest toll.
The commandment which says, "six
days shalt thou labor" has no terrors
for them, so they shoulder their bur-
dens and march on to the end with
clean souls and smiling faces.
These are the real workers, the salt
Of the earth, the faithful and the
trusting, the builders Of nations.
Life to them is endurable. 1t is
sweet in the morning when the sun
gilds the east, seductive at night when
they are tired and sleep comes, unbid-
den and carries them to the land Of
dreams.
They make agreeable friendships
among their co-workers, and always
have friends at home who are glad to
welcome them.
Their quest resolves itself into one
of love, and in holding fast to divine
precepts, it soon becomes their absorb
ing ambition. Their hearts are attuned
to heavens music.
They have no wish to pile up gold,
no greed that sours life, no fear of
the outcome Of their endeavors, no
preference, except to do the will Of the
master and patiently await his re-
ward at the end Of their earthly jour-
ney.
The Idle know nothing Of the SUI
preme joys Of those who labor and
love. II you would have for your own
the happiness which pays the richest
dividends In life, let the ennobling
quest Of labor and love be yours until
the end.

SIGN-MAPS ASSIST TRAVELLER
Example Set by State Of Maryland
Might Well Be Followed by
Other commemorative.

Maryland has set an example that
might profitably be followed by all
states, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Instead Of the curt and usually un-
satisfying road sign that leaves the
traveller frequently more puzzled than
before, Maryland has begun to erect
sign-maps that tell the traveller where
he is; that indicate the general direc-
tion to other points and the distances
between such points. Thus, instead
Of being told a road leads to some
place the tourist may never have
heard Of, the sign-map will show him
that it is either on or of the way to
the place he Is anxious to reach.
Such sign-maps should not be neces-
sarily expensive to put up, nor elabor-
ste. In fact, the simpler the better.
But how many times has lost motor
Int sighed for some such simple de-
Vice that would show him where he
was and how he could get to the
place he was trying to reach? The
ordinary road signs, even when legi-
BILE, are seldom Of much value except
to local people, who do not need them.

! for the poor except get
off their backs"
This statement once was made
by Tolstoi, the famous Russian
writer, often lauded as the
greatest friend Of the working
man In the world.
What would he say or write
today were he alive to see the
hundreds of thousands Of starv-
ing women and children in his
native land crying in vain for
"a hunk Of black bread and q
draft Of bird-seed tear
One need not seek the rich
men in order to find those who
mistreat the unfortunate poor.
Lenin and Trotzky have bam-
boozled thousands into follow
ing them until the great power
of the Russian people was vir-:
tually wrested from them to be
turned upon their own homes.
Wealth is not to blame for
most Of the injustices visited
upon humanity. Most Of those
who possess more than the
average of material things are
aids to our happiness and civil
ization. It's the clamoring after
wealth that turns the world up
side down and tramples unfor-
Inmates underfoot.
AS far back as history re-
cords some have had more than
others. 1t will always be thus.
Few of those who clamor most
for a "fair" distribution would
be satisfied If given what they
claim is their share. Nor would
they keep it long If they got it.
Financial gains can only be
honestly acquired by c0ntribut-
ing something to mankind in
return for 1t and by improving
ones frame Of mind.
The world is not all wrong by
a great deal. Many are just
thinking and living wrongly.
Their unhappiness is the fruit
of their selfishness.

Capt. James L. Me- Coy
Dies in New York

Capt. James Lawrence Mccoy. "a
years old, of Bath county, died at
the General Memorial hospital in
New York City last Thursday Of
uraemic poisoning following brief
illness. Mr.. Mccoy went to the New
York hospital about six weeks ago
for an operation and was though to
be well on the road to recovery I'M
til the early part Of the past week
when uraemic poisoning developed.
His wife and daughter, Mrs. Shear
err, Of Lexington, went to New York
Wednesday and were at his bedside
when the end came.
Mr.. Mccoy was perhaps one of
the most widely known men in Gen.
trail and Eastern Kentucky. He had
been active in Republican State and
National politics for the past forty
years and was Republican State
campaign manager in the Presiden
tial election of zoos. He was owner
and publisher of various Kentucky
at different times and
at the time Of his death was editor
and publisher of the Pikeville News.
His son, Malcolm, was associated
with him in the publication of this
paper. Other papers which he pub
lished at various times were the
Cumberland Courier, Pineville, and ,
The Jackson Times, Jackson.
He was born in Greenup county
July %. 1856 and spent his early .
ife in that county. For many years
he was connected with the Federal

ties, having started his career in

Harding Wants
Freight Rates Cut

President Harding has begun tC
use the influence of the executive to
bring about, if possible, reduction
of freight rates at the same time as
wages are cut on the railroad sys-
tens of the country.
Mr.. Harding is not officially in
terferring or forcing his advice, in
fluence or suggestions on either the
railroads or their employees, but
nevertheless he is mediating in a
dispute in whose settlement perhaps
depends more the revival of business
in America than any other single
factor.
Mr.. Harding refers to his efforts
as merely seeking information. He
is comforting daily with the labor
leaders. This week he will talk with
the railroad executives. The view
points of the shippers of agricultur-
al products has been ably presented
in Cabinet meetings by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace. Consequently
Mr.. Harding believes a reduction in
freight rates is absolutely essential.
But the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, whose expert Judgment in
railroad matters is not questioned,
insists that it would be dangerous
TO reduce freight rates unless the
railroads can cut their operating
expenses, which means, of course,
wages, because labor is the largest
item in railroad operation today.
To reduce wages would be a rela-
lively simple task if there were not
interviewer in the question some
thing else much more vital to both
the railroad executives and their
men than the revision of the wage
scale of this month or this year. It
is the ticklish problem of railroad
standards and methods of ADJUSTING
future wage scales.

with which to utilize available lime,
stone on the farms of the State was
recommended by Professor Roberts,
He said that in this way the farm
ers could obtain the needed stone at
a reasonable cost in spite of the
high freight rates.
Stone of good quality may be
found on practically every farm in
many sections of the limestone re-
gion, Professor Roberts stated.
Strangely enough, he said, most
soils in these regions are badly in
need of lime unless there is a great
deal of loose limestone in the soil.
Limestone, when used with acid
phosphate on experiment fields of
the College. it was stated, has given
an increase over phosphate alone of
eight bushels of corn, 81 pounds of
soybean hay, five bushels of wheat
and 1,735 pounds of clover hay per
acre, according to figures given out
by Professor Roberts.

Urges Limestone Used
On Kentucky Soils

The need for limestone on Ken
tucky soils is so great and the re-
turns from its use so profitable even
at low prices of farm products that
farmers cannot afford to neglect
the use of this material this spring
If it is possible for them to obtain
it at a reasonable price, according
to a statement made by Professor
George Roberts of the Soils and
Crops Department of the State Col
lege of Agriculture and a leading
authority on Kentucky soils and
their needs.
Cooperation in the purchase and
use of portable limestone grinders
