Mr, John Blake, of Mt. Sav-

subscription for another year
and get acquainted with the

subscriber to The Commercial
for a long while, and always |
has a good word to say about it.
For many years he was a farm-
er, and owned his own proper-
ty in Elk Lick Township. In-
dustrious and honest are two
words that apply to him with-
out any qualifications. Sever-
al years ago he sold his farm to
Mr. A. C. Lepley, who in turn
sold it to Mr. Richard Nichol-
son, its present owner and oc-
cupant. Mr. Blake, while not
a rich man, is in comfortable |
circumstances, and lives with
his son in Mt. Savage, where
as we understand he is spend-
ing his time doing some truck
farming. He usually makes
an annual trip into this section
to call upon old time friends,
and was the guest of Mr.
Michael Riley, of West Salis-
bury, on Memorial Day. The
Commercial wishes him a good
time in his old age.

LABOR
Out of chaos, out of murk
I arose and did my work.
While the ages changed and sped
I was toiling for my bread.
Underneath my sturdy blows
Forests fell and cities rose,
And the hard, reluctant soil
Blossomed richly from my toil; rime
Palaces and temples grand Ba
Wrought I with my cunning hand.
Rich indeed, was my reward—
Stunted soul, and body scarred
With the marks of scourge and rod;
I, the tiller of the sod, ar
From the cradle to the grave ;
Shambled through the world—a slave!
Crushed and trampled, beaten, cursed,
Serving best, but served the worst,
Starved and cheated, gouged and spoiled.
Still I builded, still I toiled,
Undernourished, underpaid
In the world myself had made.
Up from slavery I rise,
Dreams and wonder in my eyes, i
After brutal ages past i iF
Coming to my own at last. pode
I was slave—but I am free! {7 any
I was blind—but I can see! i
I, the builder, I the maker, : hist J
I, the calm tradition-breaker, '
Slave and serf and clod no longer,
Know my strength—and who is stronger?
I am done with ancient frauds,
Ancient lies and ancient gods— 3
All that sham is overthrown;
I shall take and keep my own,
Unimpassioned, unafraid,
Master of the World I’ve made!
—Berton Braley.
