THOSE WHO WALK.
It is generally believed that more automobiles will be used this season than ever before. Many people feel tbat it ia a sign of social Insig- Biflcance not to own a machine. Yet there are tens of millions of good people in this country who own no automobiles. Have they wholly (ailed In lifet
There are of course many people yerfectly able to buy motor cars who do not care for them. The medita¬ tive paces ot the old family horses suit them better. Or tbey may have ao gumption for machinery. The poi^- sibllity of finding themselves strand ed on a lonely road twenty five miles from nowhere is the detriment.
Still automobilefl are the twentieth century's most popular to.v. In nine out of ten cases, failure to own on% result from a feeling of inability to afford it. Wbat solace have these peo¬ ple for laick of a convenience that a great many people now find to be an absojute necessity?
To the philoaopher, the possession of two good muecular legs, able to walk considerable distances without fatigue, is a very good substitute. It ia a compensation which many people do not understand. Even before the days of automobiles, one otten used to hear from people, who had the use of aeveral horses, speak rather con¬ temptuously of city poraons who used to come into the country and spena a good deal of time walking. It never aeemed to occur to the horse owner that people walk for the mero pleas¬ ure of the stride and the closo con¬ tact with nature.
The use of motor, cars is we.-iken- ing muscular power for a great many persons. As the fascinating ease of motion gets its grip over them, it is a great temptation to jump Into them for a balf mile shopping trip or er¬ rand about town.
Man is a walking animal. Hi? or¬ gans depend for their stimiiliu on muscular activity. The result of los¬ ing the habit of walking, under the beguilements of a fascinating play¬ thing, seem omnlnous. They are aomethlng that threatens serious work for the doctors.
The Haann Foat advocates the erection of a Munie^I "Building and Aaditorium. .
It advooates ardently the porehase o. motor tractors for all fire apparatus.
It urges the installation of an electric ahum syitem aud the oe:^tralization ol fire apparatas.
It advooatet the inunediate appropriation of |5,000 to be expended for publicity in secnring the establishment of manufacturing industries for Freeport
A TALK WITH MT FL0WEB8: PETUHU AHD POPPY.
In my garden I planted two seeds; The two looked precisely tbe same; I But If nothing their progress impedes As they grow I can give them a name.
They rooted, they budded and grew.
They were fed from the soil and the dust. With their growth I had nothing to do,
I had only to wait and to trust.
In time a petunia bright
With her hues of rich golden and red.
And the other that gladdened my sight, A poppy that smiled as he said,
"At one table my friend and I fed;
And from the same dwelling we came; And this is what puzzles my head:
Why is It, we don't look the same?"
Oh! poppy, my dear, in each seed
A mystery deep was concealed. Which the wisest of men can't succeed
By his wisdom to have it revealed.
It's a wonderful world so profound Of its depths we know nothing at all.
And tbese wonders around us abound, Whilst our own mental vision Is small.
Tbere are chemical works in the seed.
And mechanics bas also a part: And in the rich soil where they feed
Are depths beyond science or art.
Just then Miss Petunia spoke
As she raised up her beautiful head,
"1 hope you won't have to revoke
All the wonderful things you have said.
"They say that to science all these Are no secrets but plain to bis sight.
To relieve my suspense will you please
Tell me, which of you two's lh tbe right?"
My two little pets, let me say,
There's one thing in yourselves, and in each
Of these plants that are growing today: And this is the lesson they teach.
It is life that ie given by God,
Ol which science knows nothing at all:
Though he boast and the people applaud. His wisdom's exceedingly small.
This mysterious wonderful thing
Works along in its diligent toll. It obeys God's instructions to bring
Food and beautiful things from the soil,
You're smiling, dear friends, and I'm glad. You look happy with what I have taught,
In beautiful dresses you're clad; And so be content with your lot.

Merriok Oame Postponed.
An unfortunate deiay on the part ef tbe Merrick players necessitated the postponement of tbe game soh-^d aled with the Freeport team last Sat¬ urday afternoon. The local team was on the field ready to play at 3,30. Af¬ ter waiting until after 4 o'clock tbey decided tbat their opponents were not intending to put in an appearance, and left the grounds for Freeport. Shortly after the evacuation the Mer¬ rick contingent arrived en raaase, hav¬ ing been held up by tire trouble. Tbe incident has given rise to consider¬ able discussion, Freeport at flrst be¬ ing inclined to claim tbe game by for¬ feit. Later it waa decided that the ioterestn of the league would best bo served by allowing a postpone¬ ment.

TO ME. THOMAS H, GILMOEE.
O, you needn't have a fear Womankind will quit her "sphere', Which causes some men worriment
today. For she'll always know that "wife" Is the dearest name in life. And love you In just the aame old
way.
She wlll fry your batter cakes. Make your coffee, broil your steaks. On the very latest, up-to-datest plan; And when you are very good You'll get pie and angel food. So you have no cause to worry, Mr. Man.
When the little stranger guest
Nestles to her gentle breast.
As has been the fashion since tho
world began, You will not care one iota If the mother he a voter While you kneel in loving homage, j
happy man.
When American women vote.
And the time is not remote
If every true man aids the cherished
plan; We will labor hand in hand For our state and native land. And the little ones God gives us,
brother man,

THE BAY VIEW TENNIS CLUB
VILLAGE TRUSTEESI

j Bockville Centre Defeats Bayview. [ I The splendid weather iast Sundayi afternoon brought out a large crowd*! to witness the first of the Bayview Tennis Club's team matches. It was an enthusiastic audience and the cali¬ bre of the tennis displayed well mer-^ ited thc Interest and excitement! arouscl. Rockville Centre won byj reason of the fact that their team was] a better balanced aggregation than j Freeport's representatives. All of the, matches were hotly contested, how-j ever, and it was only after a series of j hard-fought battles that the more ex-1 perienced Rockvillo Centre men were returned victors. The score was six i matches to three.
In the singles, Wallace succeeded in defeating Lciiikix in a gruelling three set matcli, :',-i',, ()-2, 6-4. After losing the flrst set. the Bayview man hecame -—>"i--it stcadi'^- and despite the aggressive net-play of his oppon¬ ent, won out. Longworth disap¬ pointed the Freepoit rooters by lo.=i- 'ng to Harry Wriftltt at 2-6. 6-1, 6-.1. Wright's game was fast and accurate, !>eing a combination of basr-line driv¬ ing and sharp vollcyiiig. Longworth, who has not reai lied his true form, was practically helpless after the first set. Many of hi.s sliots were outside by inches, but his usual skill as pass¬ ing strokes was sadly lacking. Mil¬ ler, the Bayview i aptain, was at his best in defeating Field 6-2, 6-2. His strokes were working smoothly and with considerable pace. Field at¬ tempted to establish a net position, hut was continually passed by clever side-line drives. One of the most in¬ teresting matches of the afternoon was the Clifford Cutler affair. Clif¬ ford won the flrst set rather easily at 6-3, and was leading in the second when Cutler by a splendid exhibition of base-line walliips, succeeded in bringing the match to deuce, and latei to 7-6. At this point, however, Clif¬ ford pulled himself together and even¬ tually won out, 9-7. Newbury, of Rockville Centre,'wfls extended to the limit in his match with Frazier. He lost the second set at 7-5, but won the flrst and third largely through his vicious overhead kills. If Frazier had had his lobbing under control Freeport would have fared better in tbe singles. Tbe Thonipson-Tallman set-to recalled the recent South Side bowling tournament in which these gentlemen struggled neck and neck for the high average verdict. Thomp¬ son, of Freeport, was successful In that Issue, but the rcvorsfe applied in
Sonvenirt for the ladiea.

tennis, Tallman winning out rather easily, 6-3, 6-2.
Rockville Centre won two out of tire three doubles matrhes. Miller and Longworth were easy victims of lhe uot attack, developed from the outset, of Lennox and Newbury. Wal¬ lace and Thompson offered some\Yhat stronger opposition to the Wright- F'leld combination, taking the first set. After that, however, the Rock¬ ville Centre men had matters thelf own way. Wright, with a particuiar¬ ly strong overhead game, was easily the star of this contest. Thompson's play was steady and effective, but Wallace fell down on many easy ehances at the net. It remained for Cutler and Wessels to furnish the Bayview team with its only win in the doubles. They defeated Cliftord- Gallagher combination in an interest¬ ing affair at 6-4, 6-:t.
During the course of tho matt lies, refreshnients of variety and palata¬ bility were served by the maids and matrons of the club; a most enjoyahle feature of tlie afternon. These alTali.s will be arranged at freiiuent intervals Ihioiighout the season, and it is to bc hoped that they wlll continuo to he as well attended and as interesting as the flrst.
