Chinese Ancients Used Swords. Chinese scholars claim that iron swords were in use in their country 4,000 years ago. Lincoln vs. You Lincoln belongs to the ages. He was a man among men and all the world today recognizes his genius of character. Lincoln was self-taught. Instead of waiting for someone to pound knowledge Into him. he would walk miles to secure a book that he might pursue the quest of knowledge which was a supreme passion with him throughout his life. Lincoln instinctively knew that knowl­ edge was the key that unlocks the door to fame and fortune, or any success that He went dlrectlv after man desires. knowledge to prepare himself so that when his chance came he would be ready. You may look handsomer thsn Lincoln; tou may have more native strength than incoln; you may have an Intellect that could easily be developed: but if you have not the burning desire to develop yourself, you are certain to stick in the mud-sock class. Knowledge is distinctly a matter of In­ clination. if you do not aecure knowledge you are Juat as certain to suffer for your lack of development In a mental v ay as you would certainly deteriorate physically If you laid in bed all the time and would neglect to develop your muscles. lazi­ ness leads to pain and failure. If you in­ sist on being lazy, the law of compensa. tion will force you to pay compou' d In’ terest for your Idleness. You will be whipped and scourged and made to do the meanest work of the world. The hard laws of necessity are sure to overtake you. You must eat and people will insist that you earn what you eat. The whip of necessity will beat your bleeding back and the sharp tongue of a heartless world will tear to shreds your sensibilities. When you are stretched on the cross of neces­ sity, people of this world will crown you with thorns and drive into your flesh, nails expressing their scorn Lincoln knew that the world will never forgive failure. Logically he »quipped himself to succeed and he did cceed. You, too, can succeed, but you n -t pre­ pare yourself for the battle of life The greatest asset In life Is a strong character and the ability to express your­ self. If you are dumb as a dog you will receive the reward of a dog, the crumbs from some rich man’s table, who under­ stands the way to express himself. The great mass of men have made no effort to develop themselves. Nearly all are capable of Infinite development, but they do not realise It. They are paralyzed by the thought that they are Inferior when In reality the only difference be­ tween a successful man and themselves Is development. They could easily grow If they would get busy and develop themselves as Lin­ coln and other great men have done. You do not have to be a super-man or a giant of intellect, but you do have to be just a little better than the average to be selected to occupy a seat of honor and ease where you will work less and get more. If you simply develop the stiff back of a Jack-ass and the physical strength of a mule you will naturally be paid for brute strength and nothing more, because that la all your equipment will enable you to render tn doing the work of the world. Lincoln wisely learned to talk convinc­ ingly. We are offering T>r. Frederick Houk Law’s course on "Mastery of Speech,” which will quickly develop your ability to express yourself effectively. The good talker, you have noticed. Is the fellow who gets in the lead every time. Or. Frederick Houk Law, of Oxford Academy, Amherst College, and Brown­ ing University, holding the degrees of A. B., A. M., and Ph. D., has prepared a course entitled “Mastery of Speech," that Is not only simple but exceedingly Inter­ esting. By following the instructions he gives. It is possible for anybody to be­ come a convincing talker. Probably not a Oemosthenes, but a rattling good, en­ tertaining speaker. Do not delay.

Settle with the postman when he delivers It That a public road-building policy re-1 qulrlng road classification according to function as well as responsibility for construction and maintenance is neces­ sary in order to carry on successfully i a good roads program In this country, la the gist of a treatise issued recently by the Nebraska department of public works, on “How to Get Good Roads.” The classification policy, the Nebraska officials point out, baa been found upon adoption abroad to be a highly suc­ cessful one for highway Improvement. “That which has secured roads over­ seas,” says the bulletin, “should secure them here. First: There is the country road. Its primary function Is to serve county needs. While Ita function Is vital—linking farm and market—ita use Is nearly local. The county, therefore, should assume responsibility for It. It should be built and cared for by the county funds. Exception should be made of certain roads In the coun­ ties whose function places them in an­ other class—that of state or federal roads. Second: There Is the state highway, the aggregate of which con­ stitutes the state highway system. These are the roads which, while serv­ ing local needs in the counties, have for their primary function highway service to the state as a whole. The system Is usually planned to connect the county seats, and all these and the various sections of the state and the state capital. The state, therefore, should assume responsibility for these roads. They should be built and cared for through state taxation. Exception should be made of certain roads in the state whose function places them in a third class, that of national roads. Third: Th^re is the national highway, the aggregate of which will constitute the system of national highways. These are roads which, while serving county needs, state needs and inter­ state needs, have for their primary function highway service to the coun­ try as a whole.” City________________ State___________________ _ Write Plainly. ..... provides pleasant action for your teeth, also penetrating the crevices and cleansing them.

To secure results from the use of the road drag, it must be operated over the ordinary dirt highway at such a time as the earth is in proper condition to give best returns for the labor and effort expended. It is not unusual to see men dragging a road when the latter Is so dry as to make the effort one of scraping rather than dragging. Highways should be dragged while the earth is still soft after a rain, yet not soft enough to stick to the drag. The surface which results upon drying is one which sheds water readily on the next rain if a proper slope to the road is left. An experienced worker will accomplish this by always pushing a little earth toward the center of the highway as he operates the drag. _ AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ASSN. of Portland. Ore. 418-1S-2O U. S.
