GOOD WORK on GOOD ROADS

No better example Of the purely
community work done by a chamber
OF commerce can be shown than the
road work undertaken by the Quincy
commercial body and it's committee
during the year. Almost without ex-
ception it's energies were devoted to
projects that lay outside the city
and while OF indirect benefit and In
terest 20 Quincy were OF as much inn
portance TO the territory where they
were made.
This road activity was not even
confined TO Adams county. II under
took the solution of State road
problem in Schuyler and Brown coun-
ties. approached Pike county in am
other direction, and even crossed State
lines into Missouri on trail project
The road committee of the chamber
has been busy--miles away from Quin-
iey-and working on difficult and Otter
diplomatic ventures which show nc
tangible results in the city. 1t is q
lhomeiy figure of speech TO say thai
the chamber good roads committe,
has had one leg in Springfield all oi
the time.
For a purely Quincy institution L
support this sort OF activity and bacl
LIT up with its means simply show.

affair at all--Quincy (lll) Whig

AFTER soe DAYS.


The Sixty seventh Congress met in
special session on April i2 last. The
paramount domestic purpose for which
President Harding called the session
was the revision and reduction OF war
taxes. No other issue than this SO
greatly affected American industry
or so vitality interested the masses of
the people bending under the intol-
erable hurtien OF taxation for war
long after the war was actually at an
end

Congress on the hoped-for way to en-

at the outset as the Tax-Reduotion
bill. IL next came TO be known as the
Tax Revision bill. It now passes Of
flcially as the Revenue bill. These sue

But there's just one bit Of eatin'
which / hold supremeiy great,
An that's good old bread and gravy
when I've finished up my plate.
I'VE eaten fancy dishes an my mouth

I've been at banquet tables an I've
run the good things through,
I've had sea food up in Boston, I've
had pompano down South,
For most everything that's edibls
I've put into my mouth;
But the finest treat l know Of, now
publicly relate,
is a chunck Of bread an gravy when
I've finished UP my plate.
Now the epicures may snieker and tht
hotel chefs may smile
But when il comes 10 eating l don
hunger much for style;
For an empty man wants hllin an
you can't do that with things
Like breast o. guinea under glass, o.
euried turkey wings
You want just plain home cookin an
the chance 10 sit an wait
For a piece o. bread an gravy whel
h you've finished up your plate.
Oh, ii may be ! am common an m,

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"ELDER" AND COLDER"

THE former word, "elder," should
a be used when one refers to mem
bers of the same family; thus. my
elder brother left for Europe today"
not, MY older brother" But "older''
should be used in referring to men,
bers of another family, and in refer
ring to objects. Thus, say, HE is
the older of the two brothers." and
This table is older than that chair"
not "elder." The same rule is applied
to the words "eldest" and oldest"
One should say, if he has more than
one brother, MY eldest brother left
for Europe today" not my oldest
brother" ''This chair is the oldest of
the three" not the eldest"
When direct comparison is made
between two persons, use COLDER" as
in the sentence, my mother is older
than my father" But when the COM
parison is not made directly, use this
form: my mother is the elder of my
parents"

"But," she said, perhaps tomorrow
| shall be able to think about your pro
posal and give you your answer"
So Dandelion sat all day with his
face bright and happy because he felt
sure the morrow would certainly bring
rain and then Miss Daisy would have
time to think about him.
The next morning the raindrops
were falling fast on the meadow and
Miss Daisy's upturned face never once
looked toward her lover. She was
drinking the longed-for water and had
no time to notice poor Dan.
The next morning after the rain
everything was so clean and fresh and
all the flowers were so bright and
happy that Dan again spoke to Miss
Daisy of his love.
ooh, the world is so beautiful and
fresh this morning l cannot think Of
anything else" replied Miss Daisy as
she fiirted the dewdrops from her
white skirt.
But Dan was not discouraged; he
still waited and hoped for his answer;
but one morning poor Dan awoke with
a head quite white. He had grown old
with waiting and his long, white locks
futtered in the breeze.
Then one day Miss Daisy grew tired
of the beauty around her. She cast
her eye toward her lover and, to her
horror, she saw he was quite bald. Not
even one spear Of white hair was
there on his head.
"Ohl" exclaimed Miss Daisy. How
funny you look Why, you are old Mr..
Dan d. Lion. / could not think of
you now. Good-dayw
And that Is the reason, so the mead
wv flowers say, that the Dandelion
grows faded and old with long, white
ocks on its little round head. Long
Igo its ancestor waited so long for
Hiss Daisy's answer that he grew old
nd bald.
