Your mother can help you and give] you a hand Through lots of your troublesome: nuri;e>. But there are some matters she can't understand. Some boyish masculine worries; And that's what your Dad's for. ! young; fellow. You find He's wise to the world, never] doubt it; Whenever you've got such a thinr or your mind, Go to your father about it. ! I Yon may have decided he's clear out; o? date! A quite mid-Victorian fogy." Who can understand what you have 1 to relate. Whose w-ind with tradition is logy: But try him young feliovt; just seek him and spill Y'our trouble; be sure he won't Count it. For Dad was a boy once, he's been through the mill, So?taik to your father about it! I The Governor's wiser to you than you know, Don't think you can easily fool him He's travelled the roads you are likely to go And life has been aiding to school him; Go talk to him, sonny, as man unto man, He'll hark to yonr tale as you spout it, And help you as only another man can, So?go and tell father about it.

WAKEFIELD" REDISCOVERED | Richmond Tiiuts-Dispate):. Virginia is rich it* historic places, j Storied laudinarks almost without lumber stand us mute reminders \>f the earlier, more romatic civilixa-j lion of the state. Each of them has| wigs art; a forgotten grace. 01 love and domestic tranquillity of states-', mauship and patriotism, or of gen-; eralsk;p and high adventure. The great pity of it. is that many of them : are in places utterly inaccessible. We , who take pride in these landmarks and tfc?- visions they conjure up re rely see them; tourists who come to vieu* the "cradle of the republic" go away to say that dozens ti it- most interesting spots are cut off from the rest of the world by bad roads. Take, for instance, "Wakefield/* ' the birthplace of George Washington. "This .-acred spot," writes a correspondent who wishes to give credit to the .state highway department for its- work in constructing a road to1 connect "Wakefield" with the main highway, "has been for years u rather desolate and lonely spot. It is private property, lying on the Potomac river and off the main read about two miles. It was seldom' visited, and the private road leading to it was unknown to a great many of the people of the section, and at times it was almost impassable: hence, very few citizens, and fewer tourists, ever visited the place.'* After teUirjg of the completion of; the road to "Wakefield." he s*ys: "Tke entrance to this boulevard from the main roat is both artistic and attractive, j small triangular j p.Ot wide I -val} serve beaut if uy for! a small vr.or.u aunt, or wl-ich the roac leads. To show the wisdom of the idea of building thi.- roadway, I am told that since it ha? been, completed, only a matter of two or three weeks mor people have visired the place of the bir.h of our first prealdvr.r than had in years before.* Tl.v i i i;-i i \ of "Wakefield*' ought t >erv? as s.imulos the state highway department to do other work along this line. The cost, ii. view of the benefits which would accrue, would be small. Favorable advertising of Virginia by tourists. ' and the finding of delightful spots lor tlie spiritual rejuvenation ot our own citizens, are the two important items to consider on the other side J of the ledger. ] FIRST IN THE SUMMER vacation kit., put a bottle of CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC and DIARRHOEA REMEDY Invaluable for sudden and ?eve?o pains in stomach and kow?h, cramp*, diarrheas.
