many friends. Possibly you were at
the wedding breakfast or at the de-
pot when they departed for the great
city where the groom was born ana
raised and where they plan to make
their home. The young man has the
offer of good position there, he
saws. and, no doubt, looks forward
to the day when he will be a captain
of industry and a leading citizen of
the metropolis. Possibly the bride had
visions of a time when she will have
her picture in the photogravure sec
ton of the metropolitan dailies and
be prominently mentioned as lead
ing club woman and society leader of
the great city.
The hopes and dreams of young
married people have never failed to

all right. | know that nothing is too
vague for the fancies of youth and
yet, to me. the lamentable cloud on
their present felicity is the fear that
they may be disappointed. The bride
is certainly fine girl. She was born
and raised out here near Luther and
know her Ma and Pa quite we'll.
They are just common folks, honest,
respectable and well to do. The groom
gave every evidence of being an up
right man, clean cut, honorable and
worthy. If that young couple would
locate here in this land of health and
opportunity where success and happi-
ness abound, they would succeed;
they would get along just fine, |

Country club residential district but
great cities mean more than million
aire row and the Great White Way.
There's the industrial center with its
babble of noises; the factory district
with its SCOT and smoke and its poor
" lighted streets and alleys and the
gashouse district with its pungent
smells. Hopeless and broken wrecks
of men, sagging mothers with oozing
babies, shawled old ladies, whose
faces fold up like accordians,
smudged, listless children.
Clatter of roller skates. Rattle of
trolley cars. Clothing store dummies.
Dimming signs of Lager beer on
draught." Restaurants with sawdust
on the floor and nickle-in-the-slot-
pianos. A hypnotist tent show on a
vacant lot.
Young men in love. Young women
in distress. Necktie vendors who wear
brown derbies. Library steps idlers,
crying extra An array
of cheap hotels and an army of boot
leggers who trail the patrons. Cheap

dren and in our citizenship, education
We're vain.
The educational systems of our
country are doing much towards the
development of good citizenship, yet
the proper aim and end is often lost
in the mad rush for wealth and posi-
tion. Wealth can never compensate
for loss of character, nor can intellec-
tual attainments ever be substituted
for true manhood. Good citizenship
does not consist alone in shouldering
the musket in response to a call to
arms but includes a willingness to
give at any cost the best efforts to
uproot the social and political evils
that are gnawing at the very heart
of this Republic 1t is the duty of
parents and teachers to impress upon
the students mind the fact that good
ness and not intelligence has made
men great. that true greatness is the
union of intelligence and character
That we revere Washington. not so
much because of his ability as a
soldier and statesman, but because of
his love of country and devotion to
duty; that we honor Jefferson, not be-
cause of his brilliant craftsmanship,
but because of his radical opposition
to all forms of oppression; that we
build monuments to Lincoln, not be-
cause of his great mind, but because
of his great heart.
Not eductions, but character, is
mans greatest need and our nations
greatest safeguard.

FORD PUSHING RUBBER PROJECT
ON VAST BRAZILIAN PROPERT TIES
5,00O,OO0-Acre Tract Ex-
pected to Give Huge Yield
When Planted.
Officials Claim Years Will Be
Required for Full De-
veIopment of Plan.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, November 20
Plans are being pushed vigorously by
the Ford Motor co. for the develop
mcnt of the rubber industry in the
tract of 100000 to 100000 acres
purchased recently from the Brazilian
government on Piquataba Plateau,
State of Para.
Possibilities loom so large, as they
are outlined by Ford officials, that the
whole tract if put to production will
not only change the entire situation
of the rubber industry of the world.
but will give To northern Brazil IN
agricultural and industrial impetus
rarely paralleled in the economic de-
velopment of Il people.
This is joyfully conceded and antic-
ipated by BraZilians, says w. l..
Reeves Blakley Of the Ford Motor
CO., who has made three trips to
Brazil the last two years, exploring
the Amazon Valley and closing neSo-
tiations to buy the tract.
5000. 600 Acres Secured.
1.-THE land has not been surveyed "
Ford officials said, but there are ap-
proximately 100000 acres, rich. red.
volcanic soil, sloping with ideal nat
ural drainage from the highest point
southwark. at 1S,S00 feet elevation
above sea level toward the rivers on
the north and west boundaries of the
tract.
80 far as we could determine
through SIS miles of nine paths cut
inland from the Rio Tapa jos, the
western boundary of the land. and 200
miles ira raversed on this river and the
Rio Itapaca Curua, the eastern bound
ary. there isn't an acre ready for
clearing and planting rubber. except
four or five square kilometers in the
extreme north angle"
Assuming 100000 acres possible of
cultivation. a conservative estimate
of the yield will he 1900 pounds an
acre a year, and the young trees will
begin to yield a small quantity six
years after planting.
The production OF such an area in
the Amazon Valley, where the trees
are mature at 10 years. would give a
gross annual yield of 5000, 900 900
pounds, enough for more than S57..
$4,000 Ford tires with pounds
to the tire. This area would be $50, 900
acres more than all the rest of the
world planted last year, and a yield
almost five times the total world pro-
auction pfedlcted DY experts Tor l92S.
This predicted yield is 1926. .000, 600
pounds with the Stevenson schedule
holding down British production to
$50 pounds an acre, the maximum in
dicated by that schedule last year.
But it is not the itention Of the Ford
Motor Co. to take sudden plunge
in producing rubber for the world.
Converting the great tract into rub
ber plantation will take years and
will require highly organized efforts.
The city of Para is $50 miles north
east Of the Ford purchase and 40
miles from the Atlantic Ocean. One
