RAILROADS GETTING UP STEAM

What the railroads claim to have suffered during the
neriod of the World War they admit regaining year by
wear With anything like prosperity there is no reason
why they should not sustain themselves paying lnstl
tutons even without so-called government guaranty
of dividend earning rate.
The railroads bring within their ranks many Of the
brainy men of the nation Although was thought for
awhile that the motor and motor truck would GRIPPE
the steam roads, the executives farsghted enough
to lay emphasis the long haul and to foster and
encourage the motor function feeding adjunct
to the rail systems Moreover the railroad people know
that the more automobiles sold the roads built and
the more roads the houses people, cities farms and
factories there will be- hence more traffic and shipping
There is no real saturation point in our national
needs of transportation. nothing else, the sectional
booms that have been started and that will continue to
be passed around in various parts Of the country Will
help take care of the companies that the business

GIVING YOUR
VERY BEST
BY Lucy Lowell

IT'S a set Of lines printed on
i a little desk calendar; one Of
those things you look at nine
times and don't see.
But the tenth look sets you
thinking.
For life is the mirror of king
and slave,
It's just what you are and do;
Then give to the world the best
you have.
And the best will come back to
you"
Perhaps it sounds rather Polly
annaish; sort Of "be good and
you'll be happy" before you've
considered it.,
Afterward you see that it's
the common-sense statement Of a
natural law put into ver5e form
by the author, Madeline s..
Bridges.
Giving the world the best you
have is important to the -gorld
which needs your best to offset
the mediocrity or Indifference Of
someone who hasn't yet begun
to think
Some individuals best was at
the beginning of every big move
ment, every discovery and
achievement, every step Of prog
ress that has been made since the
beginning of time.
But giving your best has an
other, more direct reaction on
your own personal fortunes.
