The Government
Lighthouse at the Edge
of the Sea
upon Sanibel Island, on the coast of the
, Gulf of Mexico, where at times the sea
rolls over the whole island, makes it
necessary to build the wind-swept,
wooden houses of the lighthouse-keepers
jjon iron piles ten feet above the surface.
Two men and their little families
stand guard day and night at the
lighthouse, one hundred feet high, where
the revolving oil lamps, Hashing the flood
of light far away over the roaring sea,
are visible sixteen miles from the shore.
With sleepless vigilance, one man
must be always awake and ready for any
emergency or accident from lamps,
machinery, windstorms or tempests. All
over the world the lighthouse-keepers in
7
the silences of loneliness and peril
faithfully guard our co'asts, in times of
peace battling with the elements to
safeguard human life and properties of
great value.
All honor to the brave, valiant soldiers
who "hold the fort" and get old before
.their time as sentinels at their posts
" "over there" by the sea.
To do the duty of the day and night,
hour by hour, wherever we are placed, is
- the real thing.
Doing the same thing over again may
!' be tiresome, but it helps to do the thing

Music Made
Premier
Music was Piiderew'ski's profession. Prac
tice of it for sixteen or seventeen hours a day
gave him little time for anything else but read
ing. Yet when a crisis arose in the history of
his native land it was the pianist who took Un
political helm. '
People scoffed. Paderewslci was sincere,
they had no doubt, but what knowledge or ex
perience had a musician even a great musi
cianthat would enable him to cope with the
situation?
And Paderewski Showed the
World What the Piano Had
Taught Him
Showed that there was more to music than
entertainment.
Showed how it broadened a man and gave
him vision and made him understand human
nature.
Because the great pianist was a musical
genius, some people thought he was one-sided,
lie has proved that music makes a man many
sided. The piano i.s ready to help all of us live life
more fully. For those of us who cannot play
there is the player-piano.
