KEEPING ON IS WHAT COUNTS:— Almost anyone can work hard when he can see results. Results are en-, couraging. stimulating, inspiring. The, test conies when no results are visible, no effect is apparent, when the effort I vseems futile. Can you keep on working when work : seems barren? Columbus could. His crew was discouraged. skeptical, wanted to turn' back, tried to mutiny. Columbus' drove them on, and what is more important. drove himself. Washington could. His army was ill fed, his people disheartened, hip resources tail-. Ing. But Washington kept on, unruffl-l cd, and held others firm. For many long weeks Columbus, out, then* on the lonely, stonny seu, could see no results. And for many long months. Washington, hurried and harrassed, could see no results for his , ceaseless labors. If Columbus had been the type of man who can work only when he sees results. Columbus would not have found the western hemisphere. And if Washington had quit when results did not com®. ATuerica probably wi> Id not now be free. While only results spur on the mul-! titude. faith drP'es on the Columbus and Washington, whatever the field, whatever the labor. Tift man who be lieves in his work, who has faith in his work, finds the encouragement, the stimulation, the inspiration in his own sure mind, his own flaming i heart, and he drives on, and ever on j careless of today's result »,.but assur-

Flashlights of Famous People J

Face to Face With William Howard Taft Our Only Living Ex-President (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) While making a tour as Secretary of War. William Howard Taft was taken ill with ptomaine poisoning in St. Paul. Nine thousand people had gathered to greet him and despite the I doctor's orders, he insisted upon apj pearing on the platform, but was too i weak to speak. The chairman said: I 'Owing to his perennial youth, our 'distinguished guest still has the complaints of childhood, a litle stomach ache now and then.” Pale, but smiling, Taft arose and pointed to his giant form and retorted: “How could a man of my dimensions have ' a little stomach ache?”

The audience roared with laughter and applauded to the echo. Everyone was Taft's friend that night. Mr. Taft is a large man with sparkling bluegray eyes which reflect 'a keen sense of humor, and a hearty I infections laugh, which is not subdued in the dignity of a Chief Justice [or an ex-President. He finds time to take an active part in the work ! of the Unitarian laymen's League [ and keeps up his activities as an all- • round American. " He established the first Civil Government of the Philippines, and later j he was sent by President Roosevelt I in 19*7. to quell the revolution In Cuba and to confer with Popo Loo on i the purchase of the friar lands in the Philippines. Thcso were achievements which led Theodore Roosevelt to decide that William Howard Taft should be his successor. He accepted the post of Secretary of War when he realised that the Phillipines would still be in his charge As Secretary of War, Taft demurred at the time, feeling that he would rather [accept the proffered appointment of | Associate Justice of the Supreme | Court, but Roosevelt was Insistent He made his announcement while on a visit with Aunt Delia in Milford. Massachusetts. He enjoyed Aunt . Delta’s plea and doughnuts, just like I his New England ancestors. There. | Aunt Delia and Mrs. Taft stood be- ! ihind the old haircloth sofa and said: ' “Will, you had better run for pres- i ,ident." That nettled it. After a trip around the world. Taft returned a full-fledged candidate and ' was nominated for President in ■ jChicago in 1908 and elected over | | William Jennings Hryan with 221 j | electoral votes against 162. Then , <ame the break with Roosevelt.

Denby turned the matter over to Fall who proceeded to deal with the oil men who had suit cases filled with cash and other things too numerous to mention. A delegation of men represent lug the farmers in Allen county on road number twenty-one. called <m uh this morning and stated that they arc now at work on securing right-offway*. fifty feet wide, from the farmers nlMg that route. The petitions a»k for a hard surface road and the effort U a worthy one for without thia display of interest the highway improvement secured. This means that farm constructed. This means that farmera in Adams county must also join the movement if II Is to succeed. If the right of-ways run he secured and the route definitely fixed from Dry ant through to Fort Wayne thia year. w« will get a place on the program of the statu eoiutnlsidon and will probably get the hard surfaced road In !!»2« It's worth doing.

Upon retirement from the Presidency he became Kent Professor of Law at Yale. He solved his problem as an ex-President by returning to his first love —law. As president of the League to Enforce Peace, he took | an active part in war work and liter in formulating peace plans. Because nt his geniality. Taft was the most popular of ex-Presider.ts. His choking chortles of laughter were always welcome. During his public. I life he owed that good feeling to per- ■ sonal contact. This in turn was proI jected by his friends, such as Cryus [ Curtis of “The Saturday Evening Post,” who made the genial Tift | known to the pubic, in a systematic way, through “The Saturday Evening Post." The place of William Howard Taft's birth is Cincinnati, and the date. 1857. Graduating from Woodward High School, he entered Yale Ijw School and matriculated as class orator in 1878. Working as a law reporter on a Cincinnati newspaper, he had a taste of newspaper work end received six dollars a week from Murat Halstead, the editor., loiter as professor and dean of the law dept rtment of the University of Cincinnati he remained closely allied with the practical law until appointed Federal District Judge. On the day he was nominated Chief Justice of the United States by President Harding. William Howard Taft 1 reached tin- genlth of his ambition — j the only ITesident' to be promoted Ito the Supreme Court bench. In the cloistered seclusion of the j i Supn-me Court bench Chief Justice 1 Taft, stroking bis gray-blonde I I mustache, has the chu kllag I . laugh. Laying aside his rota** and ; walking down the corridor of the I ! Capital he remarked: •It would lie a dreary old world j j without the sense of humor, and to I . ir.<- the saddest gpcctacle on earth is I I the individual who cannot smite."
