One word of creative genius will outlast a pyramid. One thought that will ‘Teed pure love and enkindle generous ardor" is of more value to the sum of things than a Carnegie fund or a Rockefeller foundation. Once upon a time there was a man of small stature, a Jew. with defective vision, a common tramp-tent-maker, who wandered into Rome in the days of its glory, and looked about him in amazenfcnt. He was jostled in the street by soldiers and hustled aside for the patricians chariot to roll by. He gathered a few slaves and folks of the lower classes into a private house and told them of the vision he had seen, and ■ of the strange truth about lite which the vision had borne into his soul. Upon the imperiwl throne sat a crbss between a hog and a hyena, who ruled the world. The hyena-hog killed the thinking Jew. Time came and had his say. Nero became a stench in the nostrils of nwnkirnT j The words of the murdered Jew live today in millions of hearts, have stirred successive generations to a manlier fight with circumstances and grander scope of effort, and. burning brightly in the anteroom of death, have cheered innumerable voyagers on their way into the unknown. It was this Jew, Paul, who said: “We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." The common notion of men is directly contrary to this. According Co that notion, land is spoken of as “real estate” and houses and book cases are referred to as “personal property,” while dreams, convictions and opinions are regarded as most unreal and impersonal. When we want a symbol of something that is enduring, something defying the tooth of time, we call up the image of the .pyramids or the great wall of China or the Himalaya Mountains. Yet thoughts last longer than those, and when this globe end all that it inherits shall dissolve like some baseless fabric of our vision and leave not a wrack behind. Mloughts will be going on strong with the strength of eternal youth. The argument that convinces of immortality is not the permanence of our bodies but the very fact tiiat they are deciduous, and we are convinced that our real self is that unflagging spirit that knows no death. Lite is short even though you live out your allotted three score and ten. Death is sure, tio difference to what heights of apparent success you thay rise on this earth. Two years ago' Mrs. Harding was the first lady oi the land and her husband was president of the United States, greatest honors that come to any persons. Today both hive passed to the Great Ueyoud. You may think that your' own little difficulties and troubles and pleasures and affairs are most important but if you stop to think you must realise that lite iu eternity

Face to Face With Harvey S. Firestone The Auto Tire King of America | Wherever the tire of a motor ear ( whirls on, the name of Firestone is J known. Automobiles were made ! possible because of pneumatic tires. , They were vitrually the wings of Mercury. Even a gasoline engine could never propel vehicles at an economic speed with the old style tires of the prairie schooner days. The making of motor tires is largely the history of Arkon, Ohio. An Akron's story includes the biography ■of a modest, little man bearing the name of Harvey Samuel Firestone, born in Columbiana County. Ohio, in 1868. For 56 years he has been a busy , individual. In high school his teachter found hint apt in figures and arithmetic and advised that he should attend a business college and make I eagles Spencerian style. After his thorough mastery of trial balances as a bookkeeper, he became president of the Victor Rubber Company in t’hicigo in 1896. Scarcely twenty-two. he was sitting up nights mastering the subject of rubber, but he was not dreaming then that rubber tires would some day dominate the industry. In 1900 he organized the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company of the U. S A. The rest of the story is focused within the cycle of rubber tire consumption. Beginning with seventeen empolyees, Harvey Firestone Rubber Company now has on its payroll nearly twenty thousand men. During the war he was prominent in organizing the rubber division of the Ws.r Industries Board and continued the habit of sitting up nights directing the activities involving the query •Whose got the rubber?” Harvey Firestone without Henry Ford, and vice versa, on a varcation' jaunt is inconceivable. They enjoy play days together and are as associated as the tire is to the Ford or the Ford to the tire. A great friend of the late John Burrough and President Harding, whom he presented a' saddle horse. Harvey Firestone takes his real holidays far away from the I traveled, oil-baked boulevards, where I the procession of automobiles pass, I Despite the magnitude of his business operations, he keeps in close touch with the affairs of the horpe town, having been president of the Chamber of Commerce and the hos- |

Long, a chemist, has con- ' eluded an examination of the lungs from the body of Mrs. Addie Sheatsley. found iu the home furnace Monday and declares that she did net breath after her body was in the furnace. That certainly complicates the theory that the unfortunate woman had built up a great fire, crawled in. placed herself in a comfortable position and then closed the door and proceeded to commit suicide by drinking posion. No more preposterous story was ever invented , ami the chemist's verdict will not J surprise the public for they have be-1 lieved all the time that no difference what the lady had to do with bring-1 I ing about her own death, she certainly had nothing to do with getting herself in a red-hot furnace.

S' I IT' ' ■ M H jgßgS Hl Harvey Samuel Firfestone says: “The world owes much to creative genius, as well as to the masters of literature and art. In the last analysis human existence is first a bread and ' butter proposition. 1 pitality of “Harbel Manor" on Medina Road, Akron, Ohio, is known far and ' wide. Three of the hoys and girls of the home high school are provided every year with a four-year college education, if he or she can write the best essay on good roads and highways. A rather slender man. with a smooth face, dark eyes, very quiet and retiring, Harvey Firestone says little but thinks much. He naturally believes in traveling by automobile ;nd using Firestone tires, while he tan put on a tire with celerity, he is not famed for explosive language ( ) when there is a blow out. “Blow outs are not to be associated with the Firestone tires," he insists. The wonder to me is how this little giant of a man can project Ideas of such a high voltage of personality in building up payrolls, markets and all around development. “the world owes much to a creative genius, as well as to the masters of literature and art.
