The country newspaper offers the

this field depends upon the service the

speaker. "To the person who doesn't
think and ponder, they appear trivial and
commonplace. Yet if you think deeply
enough about the commonplace things
you will find that they are wonders. They
furnish the romance and tragedy in
life"
To illustrate his point the speaker took
as an example. his recent novel, ''Van-
dermark's Folly" The novel is a story
of the settling of the Middle West. II
is history that his own people helped 10
make. In it are none of the melodra-
matic touches. Yet. to the author as he
studied his material this movement be-
came the most wonderful movement in
history.

the novel deals has developed from

Progressive citizens who are eager for the development and advance ment of Greene county, anxious to promote the building of hard-sur- faced roads that would place this community upon par with the more advanced sections, look long ingly upon those communities of the state that now are sharing so generously in the federal aid funds. Those citizens are fully conscious of the fact that Greene county is contributing it's pro rata to those funds in federal taxes and are thus helping pay for the other fellows good roads, and not sharing in any of the benefits therefrom. It is going to continue to contribute to those funds and if we don't accept the good roads for ourselves-share in something we are already and constantly paying for, it is our loss. Unless we reclaim our part of those funds by building roads there is nc getting around the fact that we must continue to pay big portion of the expense of highways for other communities.

 The fire was brought under con- trol this afternoon and the chances are excellent for salvaging the ves- sel, it is said.
 The steamer was known as a "Jinx" ship. In April 1915, it was caught and buffeted by a storm off the Pacific coast, and imperiled the lives of 150 passengers.
 As a transport, it went ashore off Fire Island while bringing troops from France.
