hair,
Or Towering orchards on rainy
day;
The shy smile Of the child across
the way,
And sometimes, when you do not
know Pm there,
The sight of you that shows me that
you care
Or any beauty that I know will stay
But for a moment makes my breath
come fast,
And fills me with driving, fierce
desire
To make it of my soul living part,
So that when Death shall take me
at the last
shall not fear; because / dared
aspire
To live for years with Heaven in
my heart.

The only trouble tOith rearing your
son In the soays Of proprsoty and good
breeding is that you haze to eSemphfy
them yourself.
Even though we are becoming an
expert on etiquette IN words of one
syllable, even though we watch our
own actions more vigilantly than we
do those Of our charge, we are rapidly
being convinced, against our earlier
judgment, that our own bringing up
was rotten.
Eighteen months ago we discovered
that we would have to give up intra-
mural profanity at once. We are now
in the throes Of schooling oursef to
rise politely every time our wife comes
into the room. Even when we become
letter perfect in this there will be no
rest for us. Well have to learn then
to wipe our mouth carefully with our
napkin before and after drinking. And
when that Is accomplished Heaven
only knows what further ordeal of
refinement will lie ahead Of US.
It's disconcerting and mortifying
when ones wife says "Now, now, you
mustn't do that. Gentlemen don't act
like that. You never saw Daddy do
that, did you?" to have ones offspring
reply, with the assurance of the truth
teller, "Yes!"
We wish he we're older-more man
of tho world. Then we could say to
him: "Listen. Your father is an un-
couth bum. Well concede that for the
sake Of his own future peace. Avoid
his mannerisms. Shun practically all
of his habits. Do not as he does, but
as he tells you to do, and eventually
you may shed luster on the family
name. Initiate him, and you'll probably
grow up to be just like him"
Then we could sit back in comfort
meanor to him with a clear conscience,
illustrating from time to time by our
own horrible examples.
As it is, By the time 1ue have reared
our son properly Ve'H probably be q
gentleman ourseJ.

Dear Slrs:
am young man and they say that
you can vote the way you want to. This
being my first vote I want to vote for
John H. Laziar for Superintendent Of free
schools and II. c. Ogden for United States
Senator. How can l do this as one is on
the Republican side and the other one Is
on the other party? VIII you please ex-
plain to mo how 1 can vote for these two
men on Aug /? Yours. "A Reader.
In reply to the above I believe that
some one has told you what is not true
when he has told you that you can vote
for whom you please on August /, as
you have to vote one ticket on that date.
At the general election you can vote for
these two men IL you wish.
There has been several new cars de-
livered here In the past few days
We received the ball scores from West
Alexander, Pa. but they have been mis-
laid. We will take better care of them
the next time Thank you, send them each
week.
1t has been learned here that II. C,
Ogden is going to get large vote in
this community on Aug. /, as every one
here realizes the fact that we need q man
from this end of the state for Senator.
And, more thap that H. c. Ogden is a
man who has met and wrote for farmers
In this community for the last twenty
years. so he has many good friends here
In this community.
There was a large crowd attended the
church services that were given over the
new radio service at West Liberty Sunday,
restaurant company has been Of
ferlng to all persons investing in it's
business 1000 per cent profit. It is
undoubtedly planning to charge the
regular Broadway prices.
1T isn't so much the time zoe spend
on the beach that hampers our efioiencv
these days; its tho hours ,oe waste peel
ing the resulting sumburr.
Now is the time when New York
State legislators are tuning up their
