HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1914-04-02, Page 5THURSDAY, APRIL I, 1914 THE tWINGUAM ADVANCE TOI-R. FRANK TERRACE, ADDRESSING THE Good Roads Convention at Tacoma, Washington, gave the following enthusiastic testimony in favor of good roads "1 am a cabbage grower, I haul my produce to the sauerkraut factory at South Seattle. Before the road over which 1 travel was. built, I had to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to start on my journey. The limit of the load I could haul with a team of 1800 pound horses was 2500 pounds, and after visiting the. factory I would arrive back at my home late in the evening. But look at the differencenow that a permanent hard surface has been laid down. 1 start on my trip about 8 o'clock and need only a team weighing 1400 pounds to haul a load of 5000 pounds of cabbage, which is double my previous capacity, And, best of all, I find on my return tothe house early in the afternoon, that I have finished the day's work without the horses -having turned a hair." Concrete Roads Mean Road Economy They prevent your road taxes being spent in patcldng up roads that never will be good roads. They ate' the cheapest kind of roads at the end of ten, fifteen or twenty years Because they practically ciiminate the cost of upkeep. They enable you to haul bigger loads with less effort and less wear and tear on horses and vehicles. They increase laud values, better era conditions generally, o g n y, and decrease the cost of living. Write for, free, Good Roads literature, and learn how good roads will benefit you, • 00. /POitTLAND'Itt..:\ eFt \CF. NT4.

The outlawed David needed pro. vis on forhis followers, ani earl ! .a , bearing of Millionaire Nabai, who . lived at Carmel and had three thousand sheep and one thousand goats in his pasture, be sent to ask for a supply of food. Narbal's answer was short, You can almost hear him blare it tbroMlat his node, or hiss it throngit his teeth: "Who is David?

A man who has made money honestly is invariably an optimist.

He was like the Earl of Luxtnore was towards John Halifax, gentlemate. The old aristocrat grumbled: "Nower4ays evey digger wants to rule; nowarleys every shopkeeper wants to go to Pariia sent; nowadays every apprentice wants to wear a silk hat." So Nabal waa against reform. A new king? Weil, Saul, has done well enough for tae. A better king? Would that matte my sheep give more wool! We want no unrest.

'Pilose of King •Jame& day were loath to give up the doctrine of tile_divine right of kings. Those of Ring Gurnee Mitt have fought very stubbornly for 'the divine right of lords. To them these are evil times when a Weigh lawyer can be Chancellor of the llbceheeleer. "Nowadays anybody can get to tete highest office in the land." Nabal's own churlish soul tare hits his view of the world; He found a certain comfort in bettering the wtole nation to be retrograding.

They klaew the song, "David hats killed his togs of thousands!" But Nebel, a neighbor and a fellow tribeeipaan, did sot know of the reforms that were lupins up about him. lie saw David's famished and ill -clad followers, and judged them by their ragged manures.

A great success, in selling stock was ntade by speculators organizing a eompany to discover perpetual mo- tion, Another corporation was form - ad to melt down sawdust chips, "cast - Ing _ theta into real boards, without pne Ilse or crack." But perhaps the summit was reached when a company organised "tor an undertaking which in due time was to be revealed" sold 1,000 shares of atock at two guineas each before noon on the first sub- scription day. Cheer up; Sometimes the "Nowadays" lamen- tation is a doctrinal necessity. An erroneous theory compels a gloomy view of the world's future, There are circles in which it is accounted trea- son to suggest that the world is grow- ing better. It must needs grow worse and worse, these men protest, that the Son's final coming may catch then unawares. It I am not mistaken, even Spurgeon held some such view. Now I maintain .that there is no more ter- rible blasphemy than to assert that Jeeeus' mission to earth has been a dis- mal failure. He has been reigning for nineteen centuries. It is time we saw some signs of His world -conquest. And we t'o. Slavery is abolished. The most vicious forms of gambling, such as lotteries and policy:playing, have been outlawed.

A man who is conscious of his own moral progress is usually hopeful 'of his race.

Losing faith 111 ;nen is losing faith in God. The Great Father's constant work is to produce a better world, and thou h His processes are subtle, it is healthy to believe that He is succeeding.. Nebel did net know that God's, hand was is this David Movement, that the Almighty had chosen this young man to be Israel's king. So the reaction- ary turned away from the Lord's anointed, The pepsimist millionaire, the narrative goes on to say, dies of fright next day. But a few chapters. further on we read that the rebel mounts the throne. Care Of Manure, Among the farmers visited in the Prairie Provinces in the Agricultural Survey work, in 1918, not once wee found to be giving any care to prevent the waste of barnyard manure. In Ontario, so often called the 'Banner Province," 03 per cent exercise no special Dare to prevent waste, In the Maritime Provinces, greater care is taken, about48 per cent of the farmers visited baying either manure ahedH or cellars foretoring the manure. Orate io may well copy this leaf from ti e book of the Eastern far'mer's opera Howe Prevention is better than cure. ne- vem lose of the manure already being produced and it will not be so -neces- sary to buy the expensive fertilizers to build up the sick and worn-out soil.
