"EVEN THIS SHALL PASS AWAY"
Once in Persia reigned a king
Who upon his signet ring
Graved a maxim true and wise.
Which if held before the eyes,
Gave him councel at a glance
Fit for every change and chance
Solemn words, and these are they;
?'Even this shall pass away."
Trains ofcamels through the sand,
Brought hiim gems from Samarland
Fleets of galleys through the sens
Brought him pearls to match with
these,
But he counted not his gain
Treasures of the mine ot main,
"Wh?t >s wealth?" the king would
:~y I
"Even this shall pass away."
In the revels of the court,
At the Zenith of the sport,
When the palms of all his guests
Burned with clapping at his jests,
He, amid his figs and wine,
Cried, "O loving friends of mine!
Pleasures come, but not to stay:
Even this shall pass away.' "
Fighting on a furious field,
Once a javelin pierced his shield,
Soldiers, with a ioud lament,
Bore him bleeding to hi? tent,
Groaning from his tortued side
"Pain is hnrd to bear." he cried.
But ?'ith patience, day by day,"
'Even this shall pass away.' "
Towering in the public square,
Twenty cubits in the air,
Ros,. his statue, carved in stone.
Then the king, disguised, unknown,
Stood before his sculptured name,
-Musing meekly, "What is fame!
Fame is but a slow decay ?
'Even this shall pass away.' "
Struck with palsy, sere and old,
Waiting at the gates of gold,
Said he with his dying breath,
"Life is done, but what is death?"
Then, in answer to the king.
Fell a sunbeam oil his ring,
Shining by a heavenly rav:
"Even this shall pass away."

Paul Greene, poet, playwright phil
osopher and dreamer, lately of Har
nett County, this state, lay down the
plow, took up the pen and became
famous over night.
His play "In Abrahams Bosom"
now running on Broadway and as j
homespun as he, bids fair towin the
Coveted Pulitzer Prize. Heredity i
and environment are without ques- '
tion great faetors in life. But we
are not so propitious as some would
have you believe.
The sons of great men all remind
us, that contrary to- the Psalmist,
not every goot tree bringeth forth
good fruit.
Fathers glory doesn't always re
flect on son.
Paul Greene hitched his wagon to
a star. He overcame the narrow ex
istence of farm life ? refused to al
low hard word to dwarf his intelect
and today in the flush of youth has
a place in the sun.
From all accounts he, like Abra
ham Lincoln and Thomas Edison, was
an underprivileged child at school,
he was shy and sensative and receiv
ed scant attention from his teachers,
undismayed, he plugged away slack
ing his thirst for knowledge at the
fountain of Greek literature.
Carlyle said "Blessed is he who has
found his work." Paul Greene an
swered that wee small voice from '
within ? discovered he had something
the world wanted and was willing to
pay for.
Editors and theatrical producers 1
are eager for the products of his
pen.

Style and Comfort Are Big Factors in
SELLING A HOME
Aside from persons actual
ly engaged in construction
work, few people give much
thought to the resale value of
a home but in our experience
we know that it pays to care
fully consider style and com
fort in selecting a house plan.
The plans we are now show
ing offer new ideas that vou
should know about before
building a home. You might
just as well have the latest
in design as well as construc
tion. It won't cost you a cent
to see our plan books and get
our ideas.
