T®B OJOARVJLW6 HERALD, DECEMBER 18, 192$ THE CEDARVILLE HERALD KARLH BULL EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Bateredi at the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 81,1887, aa second class matter. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1929 BRAND STILL PROMISES POSTOFFICES A news agenlcy in Washington states that Congressman Brand still has a schedule of postoffice buildings for more counties in the Seventh congressional district. There is no special list of towns mentioned but the announcement makes good campaign material for the Congressman that has run counter with the powers o f government. In addition Springfield gets, another promise, that city having been fed on promises for many months. Urbana, the home of the Congressman has a promise but a fight has devel­ oped there over the site. The smaller towns can take it for themselves whether they think a new federal building is in the making. Uncle Sam has never branched out that far but we imagine any town wanting a postoffice building can at least get a promise from Brand. Gravel roads, cheap insurance, cities paying for upkeep of rural schools are Brand proposals that have gone into discard with the federal building program the issue just at present. What will be promised in the next six months no one can fore­ cast. Brand does not even know at this time. MUNICIPALITIES W ILL NOT GIVE UP GAS T A X Municipalities, large and small, may in the future, face the loss Of the gasoline tax, if the proposal of John S. Edwards, member of the State Tax Commission, should be adopted. Ed­ wards thinks a .larger percentage of the tax should go to the state for development of secondary roads. . As the division stands now, the municipalities do not get a proper share of the tax. Cities and towns are asked to keep up expensive- streets to benefit through traffic, The question arises as to why city property on such streets should be assessed for such an improvement any'more than-farm land. Continual loading of tax on municipal property while farm land escapes is going to lead to a definite decision in the future as to whether such can be done. Two courses are open, for de­ fense on the part of the municipalities. First, there are more voters in the towns, and cities in Ohio, than in rural districts, and these voters may rebel on such a program of. any adminis-l 1tration. Another method would be to attack the constitutional­ ity of the gas tax. Ohio politicians must not forget that such'a law declared unconstitutional in Illinois. The motorists have think a new federal building is in the making. Uncle Saffi have tax is being collected in the municipalities than is coming back, so courts may be called upon to pass on the issue. The Ohio Supreme Court several years ago upset a tax law that provided for certain oil inspection. ‘ / The municipalities only want fair treatment. ' If it is .not forth coming it would not take long to change the legislative control from rural to urban. Automobile Ditched Local Hampshires Won To Prevent Accident Mrs. Raymond Bull was more or less cut about the facef-and suffered bruises when the automobile in which she wps riding with her sister, Mrs. Burton Turner, went into a ditch off the Springfield and Yellow Springs pike Wednesday afternoon. Mrs; Bull was thrown into the windshield. It is Stated an automobile from a cross road passed directly in front o f the Turner car that had been fol­ lowing another car headed towards Yfellow Springs. Rather than hit the car Mrs. Turner was forced to make a sudden turn on the side road which sent her car to the ditch. , Mrs. Bull was, taken to the McClel­ lan hopsital for treatment and later taken to the home o f her mother, Mrs. Shaw,, in Yellow Springs.

For time Is like a golden stair; How high the top I hardly care; Three steps there are that I ran see , And understand, and only three. No farther back that yesterday I need to look, my faults to scan, And only then th^t I may play A nobler part, a better man, I cannot change the day that's done, But I can lire a better one. That men can do, If men so wl|l, And live tomorrow better still. What lies ahead 1 cannot guess, Yet all that matters, after all, To me is whether I progress, Yea, higher rise or lower fall,. Three steps are all that I can see, Ouly'the moments close to me, But I, because I know I climb, Go whistling up the steps of time. <© , l m . D o u s l u U t l l a c h .) ------------------ 0 - SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT B y ' F . A . W A L K E R CHEERFUL SOULS W HATEVER it may be with re­ gard to the happiness of thex world at large, the chedrful soul, who through the summer heat and the winter cold continues to wear a smil­ ing face, is a spectacle most of us like to behold. There’s the little mother with two children famed for ravenous appe­ tites, who must be hurried out of bed in the morning, bathed, groomed and breakfasted In time for school, which she somehow manages to do without once losing her smile, And there is yet another gawky, overgrown child; the father of her family with whom she has to deal more circum­ spectly, jealous of his own flesh and blood, who at times tries her sorely. But with her natural aptitude, for management she wheedles him into sub­ mission without losing her cheerful­ ness and thus saves the day to glad-, ness and sunshine. She leads the way by a . look of happiness and a dozen trifling mani­ festations o f love, while this dour boy o f hers gazes In admiration at her fine display o f diplomacy and wonders i n ' his dull brain whence came her .beneficent power. .. It is not impossible fo r him to un- clerstand his mixed emotions, bnt be-, lng. subservient to the {temperate tyr­ anny o f,h is wife, he yields compla­ cently, as ell good husbands learn sooner or later to do, and the cheer­ ful soul marches forth In triumph, conscious that she Is qtieen. I f the world would once catch this effervescent spirit of cheerfulness and appropriate It to general use, We o f the grumbling sort might in a little while find ourselves in on earthly par­ adise of our own making. , The courts with their stern judges would be empty. The prisons would lack occupants and half of the sor­ rows pf mankind would no more be known. The essence of cheerfulness Is kind­ ness, nothing more nor less. - Even ailments of the body and mind, psychoanalysts will tell you, are largely Influenced by the warmth of the cheering fire that is often kin­ dled in the soul by a mere spark of faith, such as the little mother car­ ries always within her, knowing when to uBe It and when to turn a drear, gray morning Into a season of raptur­ ous delight, reaching up to the glad heavens themselves. <@ by McClur.
