A good road is an invitation to everyone within 50 miles to come into a town and trade, while a bad read is o suggestion that people would better stay away. ENTERING THE OPENING DOORS Many communities are doing all that can reasonably be asked toward the diffusiof of popular intelligence. The doors to ambition and progress and enlightment are wide open, but a lot of folks seem indifferent whet her they enter or not. After all, the principal element in_ popula education is the willingness of the peop'e to be educated.. The facili tios are being offered all the tine, if they are only accepted, The cities and villages which may lack suflicient faeilities in the way of libraries and reading looms, ought to remedy this defect. But until this is done there is no leason that people should lie down and feel that the doors of opportunity are olosed to them. In thousand of places where such facilities are denied, the people club together to form reading circies. They unite to purchase a sclection of magazines and books which are passed around from one to :umlhcr.‘ They see the best current literature and they become well informed. The result of making educational facilities easily aszessible is to en courage a lot of people to think about community and publhe pro blems who otherwize would drift idly through life in a more super ficial way. A community that pro vides such easily accessible facilities will in time have a more thuught-f ful population. Its people will show the result of brains in the way they order their public affairs, Yet there is no one =0 remotely located that the facilities of vdm*:v‘ tion are denied. Many of the in telligent people are located far fmm! the facilities of colleges and lectures, and classes. But in their quiet homes they are faithiul readers of the newspaper press and the litéra ture of the times’ They know what is going on in the world and could take a better part in intelli gent conversation than a lot of {olks in metropolitan society who are close to the heart of events but who fail to take advantage of their op portunities. PEDESTRIANS AND AUTOS The abuse of automobile driving by many incompetent and reckless operators has become a national scandal, Still the fault for accid ents is not wholly with the man at the steering wheel. The pedestrians must take some share of it. It would seem to be a malter of common prudence in these times. for people who cross streets in any city street or town center, to look )'mlh waye for cars, The ;,,u.n{ cught to be automatic, The machine that eonies toaring over the crosswalk at a far too rapid rate may he all in the wiong, but it is more importint to the pedestrian to save his reck than to compete for the right of way. Pedestriang as well as automobiles are too anxious to gave every seeond, and too impatient about waiting 2 moment untila jam of teaflic passes. In ost places if people wait only for a brief instant, the cars that ocsnpy the streets will pass, and they can cross in peace and safety, But many have so little gelf control that they can’t wait a fow cecondg, and they may fail o fee some car coming from ungeen direetion. The habit of ‘jay walking’’ of cross'ng the strects at direguliar angles, is one that makes tronble iny many locationg, If pedestrians vill form the habit of crossing ad recogmized places where they have the right to do =O, motorists will be heiter able (o look out for them. l A favorite trick of Leedless ped. pebrinng, i« to starl to cros<a sl,l'(e-'l‘ it an irveguiar place, coming out trom behind gome ear parked against i e eurb.

Contentment consists not in great wealth, but in few wants, ~ The shortest ‘way to do many things Is to do only one thing at a time. Many a man has died of heart dls ease brought on by worry over his heart. If your horses shy when your hired man goes near, get another wman, Ambition is af\\'a)'s conmendable, but when it gets topheavy it is like a fat man on a banana peel. Put every tool in its place; the dull ones by the grindstone. Or, if you have power, by the emery wheel.
