The automoblllst who has keen wenso und good brakes heeds the warn- lug. Ilo gets around the turn with- out unythlng happening to hltn. Tho speed maniac, or the man whoso braked ure out of order, keeps right on. And wo usually read of one or both In the accident columns of the newspupcrs, sooner or later. Tho road we all must take is pretty well marked with warnings, although It takes experlenco to read some of them. If wo hnvo the brako called will power, nnu keep It in trim, we nuvo nothing to fear from the dangerous places. If our judgment Is bad und our will power likely to glvo way wo never get whore wo uro going, except In u very badly damaged condition. Theru Is no occasion for such great hurry that the warning signs must be over-run. On tho road to wealth, and especial ly the road to pleasure, tho wurnlngs are very abundant. Yet thousands and thousands of people run past them every day, with tho usual disastrous results. Thoro lav little enough time In the avcrugo llfo. Wo must all work rap Idly If we ure to get u good lifetime's work accomplished In tho working years that uro allotted us. But we cun ulways slow down at the risky corner, provided wo keep our will power In condition, und use the i Judgment that ought to be a part of our mnkc-up. Tho ''too much play" turn In tho road Is more dangerous than tho "too much work" corner, but It Is well to slow up at both of them. i Then tho "overindulgence" nnd "Into jhour" spots cull for ulmost n halt.

Thin nnrv wnji entnred In tho Omaha Beo contest for amateurs by tho Ne braska. City Press, ttnd won nrst pmco, carrying with It a cash prize of $100. My neighbor has prospered. His home is tho last word In modern architecture and equipment. It is hla hobby. He loves every board nnd block nnd nnll In it. He surrounds it with grnssy plots nnd shrubs and flowers, and adorns It inside nnd out according to his sense of nrtlstlc grace nnd beauty. Not only Is his homo u source of pride nnd satisfac tion to ray neighbor, but by its beauty nnd grnce nnd general attractiveness it sheds distinction and adds to the aluo of the property round about it. Now, my home Is a modest affair. It needs paint nnd tho roof does not cover It as well us the mortgage. What is meant for a grassy plot shows bnro patches like the exposed portions of n little boy's trousers. And. Instead of grnceful, flowering vines, my house Is overrun by llttlo rosy ramblers who clamber about scraping off tho paint and leaving muddy streaks in their wake. There nrc five of them, and all the hard work, sacrifice nnd enro they menn to mo Is ns nothing compared to the pride I have In their elenr eyes, clean minds nnd sturdy bodies. To the hope hold In their future tho present struggle to keep them clothed, housed nnd fed Is n smnll uffalr. They repre sent my family estate. To them I hope to leave an inheritance of character and courage. And to tho world I shall bequeath, not largo sums for charity, schools or hospitals, but a family of men and women equipped to take up the problems of life. But when my neighbor begins to talk about taxes I have an uneasy feeling that, according to his way of looking at It, I should have drowned these dimpled babes before their oyes were open. Ilo has It figured out to a penny how much It Is costing him to educate one of my children. Now, I am paying taxes, too, but for nine months of tho year my children nre under the 'supervision of trnined teachers, men and women of unques tioned character nnd high Ideals. It doesn't seem to me that they are re ceiving exorbitant wage. But my neighbor hns no. children'. To hlra school is just n building thnt cost too much' in tho first place. Is costing ; too much in the upkeep nnd doesn't glvo back a profit to the town. I believe my neighbor is wrong. My children have a monetary value to tho town. For their needs my earnings ure spent. I buy from him such things ns he hns to sell, thereby adding to his riches. I go farther. I am not raising pigs for profit, nor cattle "for the mart, but raw material . for th.o nation of tomorrow. They are not mine alone. They bolong to my neighbor as well. It is to his in terest as well as mine that thoy be come fit nnd useful citizens. As they are trained, as they are educated, they will develop. Tho community has a part In that development. My neighbor has no more right to spread propaganda for cheap schools, a nig gardly system that will dwarf the future of my children, than I have to throw trash in his front yard. Rev. George W.
