DESIGNS FOR NEW STAMPS.

Although the designs mad portraits
for the new stamp issue have all been
selected. the Pcstoffice Department
will introduce 1t serially. so to say
with the eleven-cent stamp. bearing
the head of President Hayes, leading
the procession. in commemoration of
the centenary OF his birth. The first
one from the press will be apprcpri-
atcly presented to Mrs. Harding.
Next comes the five-cent stamp, with
the head of Roosevelt. TO be given out
on his birthday. October 81.
Whether the rest will wait
for similar anniversaries we are
not told. The larger denominations
are TO portray scenes-Niagara Falls,
the Yosemite. the Arlington Amphl-
theatre, the National Capitol, and go
on.
There is greater popular interest, OF
course. in the stamps in daily use.
Franklin returns to the one-cent
stamp; Washington is kept on the
two-cent; Lincoln appears on the
three Martha Washington on
the fcur-cent. The wife of our first
President was once before honored
in this fashion, and she is still the only
woman in the list. Beginning with the
six-cent stamp. Garfield. Mckinley
Grant, jefferson, Monroe, Hayes and
Cleveland follow in order. To accom-
! modate the rest of our Presidents. the
landscapes and monuments would
| have had to be omitted. II Is n ques-
| ton il any substitute for a head or ar
! categorical figure, like the Sttue O

MY HOPE.

N noA
This 1. my hope, that no friend shall
call
And And me but selfish after all:
That never a kindly word shall die
On my lips unspoken as men go by;
That I shall not sit with the setting
sun.
Counting the deeds which might
have done.
This is my creed for the common day,
To play the man as ! go my way,
To r,,cet what comes with an upturned
And hrinS to my duty touch Of
grace.
Te do what must. and a little more
To do what I can TIL the day is Ger.
To do what can that will scatter
cheer
And brighten the lives OF my neigh
bors here;
To speak in kindness, and now and
then
To serve the needs Of my fellow men
Never to sigh at the long days end
over wasted chances to play tho
friend.
This is my hope. when the day shall
close.
/ That may go to my nights repose
Glad with the thought that I've done
my best
And haven't failed in some simple test
! Without regret at the setting sun
For some kindly deed which l coult
have done.

DO IT RIGHT.

II you have n task 10 do, do
1t right; il you're making Irish
stew. do it right: if you're darn

Sloppy work will hurt your
fame; do II right; careless
workmanship a shame; do 1t

you have a humble task, do il

bask, do It right; for the fellows
who advance, taking hold OF
every chance. Fronting by chr

HUGE INCOMES.

Income tax statistics show that for
the year 1920 there We're four persons
in the United States who paid tax on
yearly incomes of more than five mill
lion dollars. John d. Rockefeller, Of
course, was high man." with total
Of more than eight millions--of it
self large fortune for any man.
Henry Ford is picked out as one Of
the other three men in the flve-million
class.
But even with these few men OF
super-wealth and many others with
fortunes running into the high mill
lions, the income tax returns for the
year 1920 were less In total than those
for 1919. There was a falling of Of
more than billion and half dol

Personal RESPONSIBILITY.

II is becoming more and more ap-
parept. as time goes by. that laws
eoverniny the operation of motor ve-
hicles on the public highways must
not only be more strict, but all vio-
lations of traffic regulations must be
more rigidly prosecuted. Automobile
drivers are not alone conscious of this
fact, but everyone who uses the high
WAYS realizes that something must
be done 10 enforce the Safety First
idea. and make it possible in fact as
well as in theory.
Too often there is an apparent lack
of personsal responsibility on the part
of drivers of motor vehicles. and en-
tirely too little regard paid to the or
binary rules of safety. With the num-
Der of automobiles and motor vehicles
increasing every month. 1t becomes
more and more evident that some
ching must be done to make motor
traffic on the streets and highways
safer than it is today.
Every Evening is not assured that
Il would be good plan to compel
every person owning and operating a
motor vehicle to take out liability
insurance when he takes out his
drivers license, or give bond max
ing him responsible for accident or
injury upon proper proof of same
but there Is food for serious thought
in this suggestion. A large percentage
of those who own and operate cars
today insure against personal liability
Immediately, but there are any mum

take chances" with accidents, ant

frequently does have nothing TO offe
but sympathy TO the poor victim, VIII
IS sen, to the hospital through tnet
carelessness. A reckless driver witt
an investment of a couple of hundre'
dollars in a secnnd-h hand car can d
as much damage on the public street
as the man with an investment o
three or four thousand dollars. TIL
latter, as a rule. has some sense OF hi
personal liability in case of accident
has insured against it. and is in posi-
zion to offer some compensation for
broken limb or other injury. Some sue
law as we have referred to would M
affect him. But the man with HIT
or no investment, and devoid of Gel
rain sense of responsibility to his Re
low man, would be able 10 guarantt
some compensation TO his victim
case OF accident-or he would m
be driving a car at all. In either eve'
the element OF danger On the highwa
would be lessened just that much.

At any rate, they were there and each

Senators Ball and du Font may be

therefore, that THEFT. speeches sounded

at a conference az party leaders held
in Wilmington oariicr in the week.
And what was the keynote" sound
ed by these two leaders? II was in
dorsement OF the Harding admins

Both speake RS gave great praise TO
the Harding administration by boast

In the reighborhood OF old X-Prairie
dear
Some one for the love of pleasure,
Introduced the fetchin, measure,
That we organize the yo0ng folks far

So the Joy Club was invented
Organized and represented,
BY our young folks of a young and
tender age;
If fourteen milestones you had passed,
Or if thirty was your last
You may write your name upon, Il
honor page.
So for the sake of spreading joy,
To the country girl and 10y
Lad and iass young man and maiden
we now meet
And we frolic laugh and sing
While our fair young ladies bring
Something tempting for the jolly
crowd to eat.
For the sake of dignity.
And that all quite safe may be,
Several matrons lend us their protect
ing care;
So come and join L happy throng,
And vcull find | en- not won"
When I promise you'll be glad that
YOU were there.
