An ounce OF loyalty is worth pound
OF cleyerness.
1t is the lifted face that feels the
shining OF the sun.
Genius is taking infinite palns-nOt
inspiration, but perspiratlon.
Failures are With heroic minds the
stepping stones to success.
II those who are industrious all imi-
tated the idlers, the world would soon
starve.
There is something harder to face
than death, and that is the realization
of failure and mlsdirected effort and
wrongdoIng.
A true mans allegiance is given TO
that which is highest IN his own ma
ture. He reyerenceS ruth, he loves
kindness, he respects justice.
Life is a great and noble calling, not
a mean and groveling thing TO be hur-
rled through as we can, but a lofty and

REDUCING THEIR RATES

The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-

to reduce telephone rates to $4,000
subscribers, each of whom
will receive benefits amounting to
about six dollars year. The COM
pany says that the return on its cap
ital stock has increased and it wishes
to give the public the benefit of inn
proved business by the lower rates.
Naturally the public is not going to
object.
Another instance of big reductions in
rates to electric current users has been
made by the Alabama Power COM
pany. This company is competitor
before the government for the acquisi-
ton of Muscle Shoals, and facetious
individual wants to know whether the
rate cut is intended to keep up with

duction in the prices of his rough
