Good Old Summertime

In Bermuda you ride in a car
riage, in the saddle or on a bicycle,
for trains, trOlleys and motor cars
are prohibited on the island. That
is one reason why Bermuda has
come to be regarded as a fairyland
it is comfort in the nth degree,
with all the hustle and hustle left
out-and this is only two days re-
moved, on a palatial steamer, from
New York City.
John Mulholland, of Milford, one
of the returning tourists from this
beautiful all-year-round British
paradise, describes Bermuda to be
as delightful in summer as in win
ter. There is nothing lacking in
the embellishments of the island to
satisfy the requirements of our
modern human beings. After two
tonic days at sea, the Furness Ber-
muda ships arrive at the beautiful
harbOr of Bermuda. Opal tinted
water, coral beaches and cedar
covered hillsides rich in floral color
greet the tourists eye. Quantity
picturesque, the scene is one that
will never be forgotten. Ashore are
all forms of sports and entertaining
opportunities for recreation. Path
ing, sailing, canoeing, motor boat
ing and fishing fill the aquatic pro-
gram. Then there is splendid golf.
There are fine tennis courts. There
are great hotels where the cuisine
and service is noted throughout the
world.

WORLDS WORST
PAPER HANGER

The worlds worst paper-hanger
has turned up in Iowa. His latest
activities are reported in a letter
from an Iowa farm woman to the
editor of Farm and Fireside, ma
tional farm magazine. She writes:
II hired this fellow the other day
to paper my farm parlor. He was
an itinerant workman, but he as
sured me that he knew his business.
1t put him to work, and had to be
away most of the day on various
affairs.
when 1 looked the job over in
the evening, 1 noticed some pecul-
lar bumps on the wall, and 1 asked
the paper-hanger for the reason. He
scratched his head and replied: I
knew that had forgotten some
thing. They must be the dog-gone
pictures"
The Iowa woman sent the letter
to George Martin, editor of Farm
and Fireside, with the following in
quiry: "Will this make an item for
the paper?
Mr.. Martin replied in his custom
airy epigrammatic way: Dear Mad
am: 1t will. 1t has"

CREDIT TO MRS. WIFE

Many a man has said, 81 owe all
my success in the world, all that I
am, to my dear wife" Quite num-
ber have gone a little further and
added "and all I expect to be and
do" But this payment of gratitude
and recognition in advance is not so
convincing-an unless future ac-
complishments Of high quality are
practically assured it may not be
even desirable. The successful man
might get finally caught by Sen
ate investigating committee and
sentenced to Jail.
Chivalry is all right in principle,
but it may go, and frequently does,
to unreasonable lengths.
So an honest man gets sardonic
smile of satisfaction upon learning
of some fellow who has thrown
false chivalry to the winds and
spoken the plain, homely truth.

Hackett to his "The Invisible Cen
sor":

Why America Needs Advertising

Advertising plays a vital part in
the life of our modern world, de-
clares Herbert Hoover, Secretary of
Commerce, in an article distributed
by the Crowell Publishing Company,
owners of the American Magazine,
and other national periodicals.
advertising has become one of
the vital forces in our entire indus
trial and commercial SYSTEM" says
Mr.. Hoover. "It is now fixed as an
integral part of this complex civil
ization we have built up.
"Were it not for the growth of
newspaper advertising our publish
ers would not be able to produce
the great journals which are of
such incalculable value Advertis-
ing has taken over the job of Great
ing desire, and also the job of
creating good will in order to make
desire stand hitched. Our stand
ards of living are much higher to-
day than they would have been,
were it not for the part played by
advertising"

Indifferent to their stuff - never

One Answer to Farm Profits
Problem

A crawler or track-laying tractor
at Wilbur, Wash, put in -21 acres of
grain in 4 1-2 hours, said to be a
new record. Tractor outfits up in
Montana have been running stead
lily, two and even three shifts, not
even stopping for lunch where
spare drivers were available. Spring
came in like a storm of sunshine,
after holding off unusually late;
the farmers had to plow and plant
quickly, if at all. The tractor was
their solution. Eastern Montana
farmers have bought many train
loads of new labor-saving machine
ry this spring, including tractors
and seeders for this fast planting;
and in Montana, as in every other
important grain-growing state, the
machine installations are saving
the day.
The use of power on the farm to
multiply the strength of man, is one
answer to the farm profits problem.
Good Roads Make the World Kin
Paved city streets and improved
highways leading to the city, affect
the growth and prosperity of the
community in many ways.
In the first place, cost Of upkeep
of an unimproved street or high
way is much greater than if the
thoroughfare were paved.
The entire surface of a paved
street is usable; that is, there are
not two lines or ruts which the
traffic follows, as on a dirt or gravel
road. Therefore, paving increases
the capacity of streets and high
ways.
Paving enhances property values
and acts as an inducement for
home owners to improve the ap-
pearance of their grounds and
houses, making that street a more
pleasant place to live on.
Paved streets make a city more
desirable from an industrial stand
point, for, factory or any business
which requires hauling will natur-
ally pick a town where hauling can
be done most speedily and econom-
ically.
We are no longer living in the
days of the old walled cities. Good
roads, good streets and rapid loco
motion have annihilated time and
distance and virtually made the
whole world kin.
