Uncommon jc ? ? ? II BLAKE Sense 1 ,OHN SALES3IANSHIP TX7HETIIEH you are taking orders ?" for threshing machines or life insurance, or drawing a salary of ten dollars a week, you are a salesman. In the first Instance you are selling somebody else's product. Iu the last you are selling your own. You will sell threshing machines or life Insurance faster If you know something about them, and believe in them. You will sell your own services for a higher price if you believe in your self. If the merchandise you offer is not worth the price you ask for it, you can't be sincere in your efforts to dis pose of It. ' And if you do not absolutely know that your services are worth more than you are getting for them, you will never be able to get more. All salesmanship that is worth any thing is based on confidence. You will find It hard work to con vince people of unythlng you do not believe yourself. Before you make any effort to raise your own salary be sure that It ought to be raised. Compare yourself with other people doing the same work for the same Wages. If they are better than you are at the Job, don't ask for a raise until you have made yourself better than they are. Your hands or your brains are the commodity you have to dispose of. Make them just us efficient, just as productive as you can. Discover and eliminate the faults that keep them from doing their best. Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER ** ? m ?? ? !??????? ii?? ? ? ? THE GREAT HEARTED ONLY the great-hearted can l?e true friends. AH along the shadowed ways of life ? the great-hearted are constantly send ing out sunlight and cheer, which hu mans of Inferior natures can never know or bestow. ' To do good, without having their mo fives suspected, is their grand inden tion. They 6eek no praise. They move ubout with the quiet of ? ^summer breezes, leaving In their trail the delicious scent of gardens and the peace of tranquil skies. In the happiness they give to others, they find a gratification rich beyond price. If but once In your life you should be fortunate enough to meet a great-hearted man or uomau, the re membrance of it will lluger in your mind until the end of your days. Great hearts often dwell in lowly places. Sometimes they are found In frail bodies, poorly clad, but there Is about them a radiancy of spirit brighter than a thousand stnrs and clear as the beaming of the noonday sun. Great hearts blow to llarne the spark that blazes with love; they espouse Truth and Mercy ; they sing from morn till night of kindness and good will, when their days are lonely and their tables are bare. They are neither silent nor neglect ,'ful when the ill and the discouraged need succor or sympathy. Meek or lowly, they are the minister ing angels from heaven, carrying to the sorrowing "good tidings of great Joy." Work, study, practice? bring yourself up to a higher point of usefulness. Then when you begin to talk about getting more money you will have an argument. Believe In yourself thoroughly and other people will believe In you. But remember that you cannot sin cerely believe In yourself unless you are convinced that you can really pro duce more than the other men who are doing the same kind of work. <(?) by John Blake.)

BUILDING 1 ROAO CLASSIFICATION URGED Necessary in Order to Carry on Suc cessfully Highway Program in This Country. That a public road-building policy re quiring road classification according to function as well as responsibility for construction and maintenance is neces sary In order to carry' on successfully a good roads program in this country. Is 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, has 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 its function is vital ? linking farm and market? Its 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 stute 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 claks, that of national roads. Third: There 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." PACIFIC COAST IS BUILDING Oregon Has Spent $57,000,000 in Flv% Years on Construction of Im / proved In five years Oregon has spent $57, 000,000 in road building. How's that for n population of only 800,000? No other state in the Upion probably comes anywhere near such a per capita expenditure for good roads. Other Pacific states also are energetically constructing the very finest paved highways. Oregon's roads have cost &t0,000 a mile, exclusive of bridges. The result is that you can now drive hundreds of miles north and south on roads the equal of any that New York, Chicago or any other large city can boast. Also, it will very shortly be possible to motor clear through the state of Oregon to the Idaho border line, a distance equal to the total length of England. I noticed, too, a great many substan tial roads in many parts of the west ern half of the country. Good roads always go hand-in-liand with a high state of civilization. If the Romans needed good roads In their day, how much does this far-flung continent need them today? Next to necessary expen ditures for up-to-date sanitation no district can invest u generous amount of money more wisely than in con structing first-class roads, now so nec essary for expeditious transportation of products and so conducive to the development of desirable social inter course. without which we can never hope to have our agricultural resources adequately developed. Yes, the West is on the right track. ? B. C. Forbes In Forbes Magazine. PROPER SERVICE FROM DRAG Work Should Be Djone After a Rain While Earth Is Still Soft but Not Sticky. ^ 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 i water readily on the next rain if a j 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. * Important Vehicular Traffic. The big problem of highway trans port is in letting the public know of the Importance , of vehicular traffic to the entire community just as the people now realize the value of schools ,to all persons In a town whether patents or not. Freight by Motor Trueka. Mora than 1,430,000,000 tons of freight. Including 134,400,000 tons of farm produce, are now carried by mo tor trucks over the highways 1b this country every year.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ?Lessons From the Life of David. I. Samuel Mourns for Saul (v. 1). 1. Why He Mourned. The death of Saul was no doubt a personal loss to Samuel, for Saul was a commanding and lovable personality. Then, too, the ruin of so promising a career would deeply affect a soul like Sam uel. Finally the humiliation to God and God's people grieved his heart. 2. Excessive ' Mourning Rebuked. The fact that God had rejected Saul should have lifted Samuel out of his grief. Excessive grief over that which God does i6 a reflection upon Him and should be rebuked. In all God's acts we should submit although it may change our plans. When sorrow be comes a hindrance to the discharge of duty, it merits rebuke. II. Samuel Sent to Anoint David (vv. 1-3). x 1. Samuel's Fear (v. 2). Perhaps by this time Saul was becoming a desperate character. Samuel *new that if Saul should hear that he was taking steps to anoint a successor to his throne, his own life would be in danger. Samuel was wise in submit ting this difficult situation to the Lord. God's servants are to be brave. But even when going on errands for God we . should not court danger. We should exercise the greatest caution so that unnecessary dangers be avoided. 2. The Lord's Direction (vv. 2. 3). The Lord smoothed the way for Sam- , uel. He showed him how to perform I his duty and escape the danger. Sam nel was to take a heifer and announce that he was going to offer a sacrifice unto the Lord and to call Jesse to the sacrifice. The prophet was not told all that would happen. TMs is usual ly God's way with us. He gives us our work piece by piece and guides up step by step. Samuel's purpose was known only to him. It was to ba kept a secret so that the news would not reach Saul. This was a shrewd device but entirely legitimate. There Is not necessity for us to reveal all our purposes. III. Samuel's Obedience (w. 4-13). 1. The Trembling Elders of Bethle hem (vv. 4, 5). It seems that the whole nation was shot through with fear because of Saul's sin. To the elders' alarming inquiry Samuel re sponded with the assurance of peace, inviting them to join him In worship ing the Lord. 2. Examination of Jesse's Sons (w. 6-12). The Lord had revealed to Sam nel that one of Jesse's sons was to be the new king,- hut not the particu lar one. The selection of the right one was a most Important matter as destinies hung upon it (1) Eliab rejected (vv, 6, 7). Eliab was the eldest son and therefore he was the first presented as having first right to the place of honor. Further, he was a splendid specimen of a man, tall and majestic in appearance so that even Samuel was captivated by him as he had been by Saul. (10:24). Outward appearance was favorable but the realities seen by Qod were against him. God knows whom He can trust with great responsibilities. We fre quently estimate men by their dress, culture, wealth and position. These are only surface manifestations and frequently lead us astray, but God looks Into the heart. (2) David chosen (vv. 8-12). All but one of Jesse's sons had been looked upon but still the Lord's choice had not ap peared. Jesse's reply to Samuel's question as to whether all his children bad appeared seems to imply that David was not of much importance. He was considered good enough to watch the sheep but not Important enough to be called to the feast. Be cause David was faithful as a shep herd boy, he was In line for promo tion when God's given time arrived. 3. David Anointed (v. 13). When the shepherd lad appeared, the Lord directed Samuel to anoint him. When the oil was applied the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. David was a gifted and attractive Jad but this was of no avail without the Spirit of God. Power must come from God. Only as we are anointed by the Hely Ghost can we truly do the Lord's will and work.
