Where'er he hies he simply flies,
the dust behind htm thickens; past
my abode he burns the rosd, and
kills my pup and chicken I. He
toots his horn as though In ocorn of
folks who travel slowly; liki falling
star his noisy car attains speed un
holy. He does not care for your de
spair, nor heeds your angry feelings
he scoots and rips and tetrs and
tips, with drunken leaps and reel
ings. For poor galoot who toils
afoot, he does not care a stiver: he
scares the mules, the farmer tools
they bolt and kill the driver. Along
his track, for meters back, his dead
and maimed are lying; he merely
sniffs at mangled stiffs, and still he
goes a-flying. When brought to
court this measly sport is taxed a
few piasters, when he should wall
for years in jail for causing such disasters.-
Throughout the land this
thing we stand we stand it 'cause
we've got to and all our kicks don't
serve to fix the saphead with the au
to. PerhapB some time 'twill count
as crime to run amuck, doggone it,
along the pike, and chase and strike
and mulni the people on It.

All Ready For the Start of the Big Chautauqua
Boosters' Trip
THIS picture shows some of the Garnet! Boosters, taken In front of the
Chautauqua tent last summer. There are !!. live, active meuilters
in thin association. They make the ChautaiKiun the biggest week of
the year.
Last summer, like many other organizations of the kind, they took a
boosters trip, visiting twelve nearby towns and Inviting all of the people of
all the communities around Into the Chautauqua. One hundred and tlve men
took the trip, and all but two bought their tickets, so the owners of the cant
wouldn't come out tn the hole. They starred promptly at 7 'clock in the
morning and kept within four minutes of schedule. They traveled 112 miles,
and their band accompanied them. Two boys wont unpad on motorcycle
and announced their coming, and the folks nt home were constantly Informed
of their movements by photie. This news was shown on h large ImiIIcIiii
board on a prominent downtown street.- When they arrived home the whole
town received them, and the big event was celebrated by a bund concert in
the park that night.
They were praised away from home and at home. Every town around
thought more of Garnett. and every one knew more alout and thought more
of the Chautauqua and Carnett's Chautauqua spirit.
And this was only oae town. There were nearly 200 others that toot;
similar trips and realized big returns from them.

The summertime will soon arrive,
that season which is hottest; then
! every man In town should strive to
be the leading Bwattist. For steam
ing winds and brazen skies, which
make the cornfields flourish, will
also multiply the flies, encourage
them and nourish. And flies are
such a pesky crew, they made one's
reason totter; and so the first thing
that you do should be to buy a swat
ter. The good old doctors disagree
whene'er they have a chance to; one
doc goes haw, another gee we
can't guess where they prance to.
Dut on this question of the flies,-they
speak up as one sawbones; they tell
us that we ought to rise and wade
in blood and rawbones. So baste
and send your little son, or, falling
him, your daughter, to hardware
dealer with the mon to buy a trusty
swatter. And then from every low
ly cot we'll drive the pesky critters,
and sing and chortle as we swat, and
hand the files their bitters. And
thus we'll benefit the race that is
n't far-fetched, is it? We'll make
the world a better place in which to
sit and visit.

PLAIN SPKAKING
I used to Bay just what I thought,
on every mortal theme, and life was
hectic and hot, and every day a
scream. I tried to show I had no
fears of any human foes; and peo
ple often pulled my ears, or else they
punched my nose. But I was not
dismayed, thereat, nor humbled yet,
by heck! And people often jammed
my hat clear down around my neck.
My head was bloody but unbowed, as
said some martial toff, and every
time I met a crowd they'd kick my
coattaiia off. "A soul undaunted
still I have," I often would declaim;
and then I'd buy a quart of sulve to
spread upon my frame. In time
one wearies of such strife, however
bold his soul, and so, to gain a peace
ful life, I canned my rigmarole. In
stead of shooting off my bile at every
time and place, I bought a large elas
tic smile, and wore it on my face.
And though I still had burning
i thoughts, I kept the blamed things
down, and no one heard the caustic
shots for which I'd won renown.
And now all day I dance and sing,
and people like me much; ray head's
no longer in a sliug, I do not need a
crutch.

Oh, cut out the vain repining,
cease thinking of dole and doom!
Come out where the sun is shining,
come out of the cave of gloom! Come
out of your bole and borrow a pack
Age of joy from me, and say to your
secret sorrow, "I've no longer use
for thee!" For troubles, which are
deluding, are timorous beasts, I say;
they stick to the gent who's brood
ing, and flee from the gent who's
gay. The gateways of Eldorados
are open, all o'er the earth; come
out of the House of Shadows, and
dwell in the House of Mirth. From
Boston to far Bobcaygeon the ban
ners of gladness float; oh. grief Is a
rank contagion, and mirth is the an
tidote. And most of our woes would
perish, or leave us, on sable wings,
if only we didn't cherish and coddle
the blame fool things. Long aince
would your woes have scampered
away to their native fogs, but they
have been fed and pampered like
poodles or hairless dogs. And all of
thene facts should teach you It's wise
to be bright and gay; come out
where the breeze can reach you, and
blow all your grief away.

HE MOUALIHTS
We like to regulate our neighbors,
and mark for them the way; we
would prescribe their fun and labors,
their penalties and pay. We always
have a text to back us, whatever
stand we take; and morbid doubts
can never rack us, or make our con
science ache. For we are all so
strictly pious, and free from spots
and mire, that e'en the angels can't
deny us the halos we desire. And
since we have no streak of yellow
that much is understood of course
we chase the other fellow and try to
make him good. We don't resort to
moral suasion, or methods mild like
that; we give his head severe abras
ion, and try to break a slat. We
show the road that you should trav
el, and If you halt or fail, we slug
you with a chunk of gravel, and send
you off to Jail. We're bound to
make this sad world better, and life
a Joyous hymn, e'en though we have
to place a fetter on every human
limb. In olden times the pious her
mit was satisfied to train his spirit,
or whate'er you term it, in solitude
and pain; but no wthe good man ups
and hollers, and makes a mighty
noise, and wants to put his chains
and collars on all the other boys.
And If this fable I am handing seems
to you Greek or Dutch, and fails to
hit your understanding, I cannot
help it much.

PAINTING
Now the husband palnta the fence,
while the housewife palnta her face,
and. with energy intense, we are
painting every place. We enjoy this
userul toil, which will make the town
more fair, and we smell of linseed
oil, and there's ochre in our hair.

disposition's bright and gay; and
when the weather's crisp and cool, he
says, "Hee-haw!" and runs away.
His "Hee-haw" cheers ua like the
deuce, it's such an optimistic shout,
and when he turns that slogan loose,
it jars the welkin Inside out. At
midnight, when the world is still, the
mule, from out the barnyard strayed,
comes close up to the window sill,
and tries to make Caruso fade. We
muBt admit he cannot sing, however
earnestly he tries, but he has such
good traits, by Jlng. that we forgive
his frantic cries. How patiently he
dr-gs the plow, how earnestly he'll
strive and strain, and swallow grub
that horse or cow would pass up with
high disdain! He tolls to bring his
master dimes, so faithfully,, the long
day through; at night lies down and
rolls three times, and then gets up
las good as new. He doesn't stall
around or shirk, though roads be
long ana aays be not; ne's always
ready for his work, and never dies
unless he'a shot. And yet we greet
the mule with Jeers, make him the
butt of jokelets raw, because he baa
too many ears, and cannot sing like

REO THE FIFTH
Heo the fifth attained its distinction by being a better built ear than most
makers think necessary. Care and caution are carried to extremes. Materials
are bought under specifications, determined by twenty years of experience.
The steel is all made to formula. The gears are tested in a crushing ma
chine to stand 75,000 pounds per tooth. The springs are tested in a machine
which subjects them to thousands of bendings.
Each driving part must stand the tests of 50 per oent oyer-capaeity. The
builder fixes this as a margin of safety in the cars he makes.
Koo the Fifth, 1914 model is an honest and enduring ear. This honesty
and endurance is most apparent in the hidden parts in the steel, the bear
ing, the gears and the forging, 190 drop forgings are used in the construc
tion of Iteo the Fifth.
The accessibility of the various parts of the engine is a feature of Rco
the Fifth, that is worthy of consideration. This feature is one that will save
hours of time in making engine adjustments.
A centrifugal pump gives a positive circulation and iusures proper tool
ing. The brakes of Reo the Fifth are extra efficient for safety's sake. They
are the double acting, wrapping type. Both are operated by foot pedals so
there are no brake levers in the way of the driyer.
Reo the Fifth is electrically lighted throughout.
The design of the body is in accord with the latest mode. It b low-hung
and racy. It has the gondola back. The upholstering is deep and soft. Ye
will not find a handsomer car than the 1914 Reo the Fiftb.
Reo the Fifth, five passenger touring car, fully equipped m very pas
ticular, will be sold at $1250 f. o. b. Alliance, a redaction of fSOQ n la
year '8 price.
