Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Tranzar of Centralia was in the city last week the guest of the fortners brother, Mr Alex Tranzar and family. James Turner has added two coats of paint to his house on toth and Broadway. Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Sumner and daughters, Misses Gertrude and Azalia roy- lily entertained for dinner Friday Aug. 11th, at their beautiful farm home a number of friends in honor of Mrs. S.

McCrary, Metropolis, Rev. and Mrs W. H. Cole, and Mr. Riley Williams, Brookport, and Mrs Laura A. Long, Belgrade. The host and hostesses spared neither time nor money in preparing the most elaborate, wholesome spread of the season, the viands of many varieties were at our disposal and to say that we did justice to the occassion is just putting it mildly. Mrs. Sumner and daughters certainly understand the art of cooking and one can eat the food too without coaxing. This is an annual affair with the Sumner's as Miss Azalia teaches in Cairo, she spends her vacation at home on the farm and takes a delight in inviting some of her many friends to spend a day with her before returning to her work. We have already accepted an invitation to return next year should we all be alive. We pray that they continue to prosper and have a long life. The day was very profitably spent under the beautiful shade trees on the lawn discussing the many phases of human existence, the European war, the probaIl lity of the war with Mexico, the 8th, Ill., Soldiers on the Border, the stringency of the times, "high cost of living" during the democratic administration and the importance of negroes organizing and owing homes.

Senator Latham lives at Eldorado, Saline County Ill., a large Republican county. Southern Ill., is entitled to the second place on the Republican ticket for a state office and the Senator is the man for the place. He is able and his stand for the Republican principles entitles him to the votes of the party. He is a real amercian. Best oall, he is a clean man, honest and a man of the people. He stands for prosperity making policies and the full protection of every american citizen and interest for social justice and for the Republican national platform in full. He is not an orator, but he is a man of masterful force. He knows how to accomplish things. He is a successful Physician, but has studied law. He made his own success, and therefore knows how success is made. No man has ever accused him of unfair or illegitimate business principles. He is a friend of the common people and has a warm spot in his heart for the colored people because of their fairness to him and their struggles to over-throw their environments which have been potent factors to hold them down. He was elected two years ago by a good majority on the Republican ticket for State Senator from the 51st Senatorial district. Let us nominate him for our next Lieut. Governor. RALPH PROCTOR Ralph Proctor, of McLeansboro, candidate for member of the State Board of Equalization was was born on a farm in Hamiton county, and has risen thru adverse circumstances to a place of prominence in the councils of his party. His strenuous fight for success in life proves him worthy of his gallant ancestry. His father gave the best of his life in defence of his country during the civil war and his grand-father fought thru the revolutionary war that we might enjoy our present degree of independence. Mr. Proctor has been a life long Republican and has for years given freely of his time and means for the promotion of the success of the Republican party. During previous campaigns he has unselfishly fought for the election of his opponent th office with-out compensation or promise of performent. His many friends throuout the district believe that the party should honor these years uninterrupted service by nominating him him for member of the State Board of Equalization. Mr. Paoctor is an old Rebublican, but a new candidate. His personal popularity and admirable mixing qualities make him by far the strongest candidate that can be nominated for that office.

Bro. Editor: Having been informed that the Association will meet at Colps. Of the additional expense of said meeting I wish to say to the sisters of the Mt. Olive W. E & M. Convention that we will have to get busy. We hope that each pastor in the District will encourage the women of their several churches to take interest in the work as we cannot know until the annual meeting what the committee on location will do. Let us come up to the meeting praying for success and stand to gether as a unit. For together we stand and divided we fall. I am praying that we will be united in oneness with one purpose and we can look with pride on a building erected in name The Livingston Normal Industrial Institute in the near future. Let us not lag in the work on the account of small obstacles but perseverance till the end if we do not work we cannot reap. What we sow we shall reap, and whatever we mete out shall be meted to us. Yours for success. M. J. Blake. President. Notice. Mound City, Ill., July 24, 1916. Please allow me space to say to the public through your paper concerning the Mt.

EMMERSON Mt Vernon, Illinois, Candidate for Republican Nomination for SECRETARY OF STATE East St. Louis Tribune: "From Cairo to Galena the universal expression of informed Republicans is that Lou Emmerson, will have as lurge a majority in the September primary as the late James A. Rose had in his fast primary contest, and it will be no surprise to see him carry 65 per cent of the counties of the state. "No man in the state deserve more of the party than Lou Emmerson: he has labored long and faithfully for its success: has been true to it in every adversity and never justly rewarded in its time of prosperity." Harvard Herald, McHenry County: "Four years years ago L. L. Emmerson of Mt. Vernon sought the nomination for state treasurer but was defeated by the present occupant of that office. Defeat did not sour nor dishearten him and he loyally supported his successful rival, and at this time he finds an asset of positive help in his action of four years ago. Lou Emmerson, as he is most tamifiarly known among his many friends in every section of Illinois, is both deserving and capable gentleman and is well qualified for the office of Secretary of State." Dixon Telegraph, Lee County "Wheu the state Republican ticket is selected you will find that Louis L. Emmerson of Mt. Vernon is one of the strongest men on the ticket. Lou Emmerson is one of the kind of men whom the HOME FROM TEXAS Edw. Neely, of Co. M. 8th, Reg. I.

The Citizens at-large joined his parents and wife in extending him a hearty welcome to the city. He came home because his time had expired. Eddie speaks well of the people of Texas and especially the enemy; they were so good to him. They spared his life. Mrs. Laura A. Long, of Belgrade, W.

Young Man Must Fit Himself For Life Work If He Is to Advance By CHARLES S. BOHART A man of twenty-six years, in seeking for a position, was asked to name the trade or profession for which he had fitted himself. He could give no satisfactory answer. He had never thought of nor fitted himself for a life work, but after leaving high school had taken the first job in sight and then floated from job to job. When asked whether he thought that method would ever get him anywhere, he indicated that he had been taught to believe that a worthy young man with a high-school education would eventually reach a creditable goal if he patiently followed a path of careful, conscientious and concentrated effort in any position—but still he had arrived nowhere and was willing to work for $15 a week. What's the trouble? Who's to blame? What is wrong with his logic? Can anyone get far in this world without a well-laid plan and a firm will to follow it? Who should have instructed and counseled this man at the beginning of his career? Would classroom talks and counsel by a trained and experienced vocational instructor during certain school years help? Should the state take the responsibility (in order to alleviate unemployment) of instructing those who graduate from our grammar and high schools regarding vocations and choice of life work? If the man in question had wisely chosen a fitting life work and secured a position at the beginning, which might have been a stepping stone toward his thus developed life ambition, would he not have today been nearer a larger place in life? Star of Filmdom Passing of Virginia City Recalls Its Old Glories Despairing of a revival of Virginia City, Nev., the Enterprise, a newspaper on which Mark Twain once worked, has given up the ghost. In dying it recalls attention to a city once as familiar on men's tongues as Verdun is today, but for reasons quite other. The city of fabulous riches, the city where millions came and went in an hour, the city whose earth yielded the coveted metal as in geyser floods, the city that had a life and a luxury which today amid its sagebrush seem mythical, is now a collection of shacks, no longer able to support a newspaper. Only yesterday, it seems, Virginia City was the most populous in Nevada, though Carson City, as we all learned in our geographies, was the capital. Few things in American history are more romantic than the rise and fall of Virginia City. The state of Nevada survives—a sovereign state is indestructible. In area it equals all of New York and New England combined; Staten Island is more populous. Nevada has had its Reno and its Goldfields, for one thing or another famed, as it has the husk of the once dazzling mining camp, now bereft of its newspaper. But Nevada, with all its vast extent, has not yet learned to graft cactus with cabbages, and until it does its Bedouin cities will fold their tents like the Arabs.—New York Globe. A.

Around the World. The Russian senate has been in existence since 1711. Farming and pig rearing are the stale industries of Serbia. In China a father cannot leave more property to one son than to another. Methodist ministers in the United States number over 30,000. In Serbia every grown man can claim five acres of land from the government, which is exempt from all claims of debt. British vital statistics show that there has been more marriages and less births since the war has been in progress. An average of one ton of solid and liquid nourishment is consumed every year by a healthy normal man. In Russia the people are divided into three "stocks," Great Russians, White Russians and Little Russians. It will cost Australia about $25,000,000 to open the Murray river to navigation and to construct an irrigation system that will develop 1,500,000 acres of land.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Under the caption, "Negroes Must Act," the Chattanooga Times invites the attention of the Negroes of Chattanooga to dangerous and deplorable conditions existing in that city. It points to the terrific death rate among the Negroes, the increase of tuberculosis and other deadly diseases and to the shriveling of the Negro population, due to fewer births than deaths, notwithstanding the heavy birth rate. Chattanooga is not exceptional among Southern cities in this respect, but typical. In all the larger cities there is a heavy Negro population, and the same insanitary living conditions prevail. It is true the Negroes must act in Chattanooga, and they must act in all Southern cities, but the Post must remind the Times that the problem can never be solved by the Negroes alone. It is a problem which the white people must help to solve. It will require cooperation of the intelligent people of both races, fortified by a strong and purposeful municipal policy to bring about better results. The Negroes of the Southern cities for the most part live in the miserable shacks which white landlords provide for them, and amid such distressful conditions as white municipal governments permit to exist. And the inevitable consequences of such housing conditions and such disease-breeding conditions as are common are not only disease and death among the Negroes, but such conditions are introduced by Negroes into white homes. When the Times fully appraises the danger to white people of having a large Negro population existing under the appalling conditions prevalent in Southern cities, it will see that it is a white man's problem and that the solution must come as a result of unremitting effort of the whites in co-operation with the enlightened element of the Negroes. There is scarcely a white home in Chattanooga that does not employ Negro servants. They come from insanitary and disease-breeding sections of the city into their white employer's kitchen, they purse the white babies, they launder the clothing and household linen. They serve in many capacities. How many of these employers are careful to know under what conditions their Negro servants live? Is it not their duty to know and is it not a duty they owe to themselves to do all in their power to ameliorate such conditions as may imperil the health and lives of their own families? Houston has grappled with this great problem through the instrumentality of a scientifically organized and operated Foundation, and the Post feels confident that within another year this city will have its large Negro population living amid more wholesome conditions. Investigation is revealing the necessity for such improvement, and no difficulty is being encountered in obtaining the co-operation of the best people of both races. In other words, Houston is pointing the way and Chattanooga and other Southern cities would be wise to study the plans and purposes of the Houston Foundation, a municipally-supported agency for the bettering of living conditions among all the people.—Houston Post. I believe you will agree with me that education must be the foundation of all future progress of Negroes as of others, was one of the points made by W. H.

This being the case, how can it be expected that the Negro of the South would progress along with his more fortunate brother in the North? It is enlightening and encouraging, however, that you have had the foresight to compare the Negro with the Negro. It is the first time that I have ever seen such a thing done. The Negro is nlways compared with the proud, fortunate Anglo-Saxon, and, of course, to his detriment. Give the Negro of Mississippi the same educational opportunity that the Negro of Connecticut has and during the next five decades they will write a new chapter in the history of the American nation. I do not share in any sense your reeming pessimism in regard to the future of the Negro race, for when we take under consideration the tremendous progress that he has made during his freedom there is little to discourage us. In the language of Frederick Douglass, the greatest Negro your State has produced, I would say: "Judge us not by the heights to which we have attained, but by the depths from which we came." Fifty years ago we were "only in the land of the living." Now we own $9,000,000,000 worth of property and have 40,000 business concerns. The value of farm property alone owned by the Negroes, principally in the South, is, according to the United States census, $1,140,-000,000, and this is increasing at the rate of more than 125 per cent each decade. So much for that. I feel that you are right in your contentions that it was in full recognition of the sentiments of the white race that Booker T. Washington conceived his work, but you seem to overlook the fact that there are at least two distinct classes of white people in the South—one class that has the secure conviction of which you speak (that the Negro cannot really be helped) and another whose eyes have seen and whose ears have heard and whose hearts have been awakened to the fact that Negroes are simply human beings and need human opportunities to make them useful citizens that the country needs. It seems a brand statement to say that Booker T. Washington did not have the backing of the South, unless you mean as a whole. One of these classes of which I have just spoken did back Booker T. Washington to the best of its ability under the circumstances. The other class did him no harm and often wished him well, though they doubted his ability to bring about the changes he sought. But none of them provided him with the ammunition with which to fight his tremendous battles. The first of the Bogosol group of the Aleutian islands was born 120 years ago. There was a great convulsion in the Behring sea, about 25 miles north of Unalaska, and an island appeared above the surface of the stormy waters. This islet, which rose to a height of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, was christened Bogosol by the Russians, who then owned Alaska. It remained solitary until 1882, when another volcanic eruption in the sea was followed by the birth of another island near the first.

A whestone and an ax, said to be more than 100 years old, were found imbedded in the trunk of a tree which is known to be 115 years old, by Edward Smith of Sandusky, Mich., while cutting the tree down.

Then, one evening, for the sweet sake of charity, a theatrical performance took place, in which the charmer was leading lady and more adorable than ever. Afterward the shy admirer drew near, his love made valiant by the sight of her beauty. "You are the star of the evening," he said, as they stood alone in a corner. "You are the first to tell me so," said the damsel, with a happy blush. "Then," he retorted promptly, "ma) I claim my reward as an astronomer?" The indy looked puzzled. "What reward?" she asked.

At a smoker the other evening reference was made to war stories, when this little incident was recalled by Congressman Daniel J. Riordan of New York. Some time since a venerable party stood in the midst of a party of friends describing a happening with considerable force. "They charged like demons! said he. "Though slaughtered in thousands, there were millions to take their places, and finally we had to retreat." "Say," remarked a man who had just stepped up, "is he describing a battle that he was in during the Civil war? "No," was the smiling rejoinder of the party addressed.

A rancher, near Gleichen, Alberta, who commenced in a small way nine years ago, recently disposed of 1,243 cattle at a total of $101,304.50, and this was only his surplus stock for the present season. A December shipment of 217 head of ranch steers brought the owner an average of over $80 per head. They were taken straight from the range without any grain feeding and were in excellent condition to be sold for the Christmas trade. Another shipment of 100 head, averaging $70 each, was made to Seattle. The highest price paid on the Seattle market was for an Albertan steer, which weighed 1,700 lbs, and brought the fancy price of 10c per lb, or $170. Six carlonds of Live stock from ranches 65 miles from Pincher, Alberta, shipped to Spokane, excited keen competition there on account of their exceptional quality. The price realized was $10,028. American dealers say they must look to Canada for beef supplies. A livestock firm, which has shipped over 2,000 head of beef cattle to the American farmer since the middle of November, reports a splendid reception of Alberta stock in the United States. A carload of choice Alberta steers were sold early in January for shipment to the British Columbia coast at $6.70 per 100 lbs, and later on, a lot from Carstairs brought $6.90—the highest price paid since the spring of 1915. Shipments from Calgary livestock yards during 1915 were: Horses, 8,675; cattle, 30,577; hogs, 144,515; sheep, 12,410. A course in agriculture and livestock demonstration which has been conducted by the Provincial Dept. of Agriculture here was well attended, showing the interest taken by city residents in agricultural progress. John Young, of Sidney, Man., gives his experiences in sheep-raising as follows, as quoted in a local paper: "I bought a bunch of fifty ewes, which cost me $262.50. With this little flock I demonstrated just what can be done in the sheep business. This fall I sold fifty fat lambs at $0.50 per head, $325, and 18 of the best ew lambs, which I kept, I value at $8.00 per head, $144. The wool sold at an average of $2.07 per head, $103.50. This makes the very nice total of $572.50." "They ran out nearly every day all winter. The value of hay and oats was small, and one can make them very comfortable through the winter with very little expense. For shelter I have a shed, about 125 feet long and 14 feet wide, which I cover with straw. This gives them protection from the cold winds: yet it is always cool enough to be healthy." "I intend going in more for sheep this fall, as I believe them to be the most profitable stock on the farm." Desire of farmers and ranchers to increase their sheep holdings is indicated by the sale of 2,500 hend recently at $9.00 each. High wool prices and profitable demand for mutton are the reason given for such a figure. Manitoba sheep breeders arranged last year for the Provincial Department of Agriculture to handle their wool output on a co-operative basis and obtained most satisfactory results. About 75,000 lbs. of wool were handled, netting the shippers over 266 ber lbs.-Advertisement. Price of Politeness. "I don't know about that," replied Senator Sorghum.

Who shall say where love begins, How its subtle way it wins? Gods who love the race they frame, Cannot tell whence springs the flame, Man may reason long and well, But can never break the spell. No man should rail at or sneer at not take him into consultation when he lays his plans, jotting the name of this man and that woman whom he purposes to pair off down upon his re- ference book. It's all cut and dried for him. A man may balk and run away, but he is caught and rounded up another day. No masculine heart is so stubborn or fractions that Cupid cannot tame it into subjection in his own unique way. The one unfortunate part of it is that Cupid gives no blint or sign that might put a man on his guard or warn him to be in readiness. Men meet their future brides when they least expect and they are not always duly impressed with their future heart mate at that. One young man who had to be fairly coaxed and dragged to a ball, Porch Cushions. Porch cushions are the gayest of the gay. And they are striped, in conformity with the general trend toward striped effects in decorations and home accessories of every sort. All the colors of the rainbow are seen in these cushions for the swinging seat, the settee, the rocker, and general utility, but the combination of tints have been made so skillfully that the result, while undeniably vivid, is by no means unpleasing or crude. In the khaki-lined couch hammock, or in one of awning stripes in black or white, a group of these bright toned cushions presents a desirable contrast. "Little Orphant Annie" Says "Jim" Riley Was the Meanest of Boys Many will be surprised to learn that there ever was a real "Orphant Annie." "Orphant Annie" is now Mrs. Wesley Gray. Although not a great many miles from the poet's birthplace, Greenfield, Ind., Mrs. Gray's farm is situated in the real, old-fashioned back country. It was a raw, bleak day when little "Orphant Annie" was brought to the Riley home. She came from a primitive country settlement in a rough wagon, riding on a heavy board laid across it for a seat. . . . She recalled the happenings at the Riley home with amusement and delight. "Jim Riley," she declared, "was the biggest tease and the meanest boy I ever seen. I used to wonder how he learnt it all; how in the world a boy only twelve years old could be so full of mischief, and such an awful tease. "He would draw ugly pictures of us and write mean things beneath 'em, and I tell you, he just nachurly worried the life out of us. Then he would make his eyes red by rubbing them, and pretend he was sticking gun caps in them. Then he'd pull the gun caps out of his nose. You can't guess how he scared us. "Then he had a hateful way of doing a trick that a circus man taught him, with a button and a handkerchief, by folding the handkerchief around the button, and then undoing it, and the button wasn't there. That made us awful curious, and we made him do it again and again, until one time he dropped it out of his sleeve."—Ladies' Home Journal. Fashion's Decrees. Charmusee gowns are prettily worn with small flower-trimmed hats. A great deal of shantung is used for summer costumes. A simple frock or coat is set off by a double cap collar of muslin. Many of the new collars amount to capes, being full, and reaching to the waistline. Feather-stiching makes a dainty finish for the edges of the wee tot's frock. Charming sports hats are of straw and trimmed with worsted cords and tassels. Heavy washing silk is used for the serviceable and graceful cross-over blouses. Finish the round neck with a piece of narrow ribbon tied in a fetching little bow in front. The soft pile fabrics in the most beautiful jewellie colorings are constantly being used for big, loose wraps. Yellow organdie and white tulle make a charming frock. Very demure is the child's frock of organdie with tiny bows of velvet ribbon set all the way down the front. We now have skirts designed especially for gardening. They are made of linen and have many large pockets. Frills of tulle complete some of the new roll collars of muslin and crepe de chine to be worn with tailored suits. There are nightgowns of pongee, and they are trimmed with bands of linen in contrasting colors. Silk basques finished with cavalier tabs are charming with flowered voile skirts for bridesmaids' frocks. Who shall say where love begins, How its subtle say it wins? Gods, his subtle say it frame, Cannot tell whence springs the flame, Man may reason long and well, But can never break the spell. No man should rail at or sneer at the remark that married life is the happiest in the world, for the single man never knows at what place or time he will meet the one woman who will cause all his determination and theories to melt like fog before the sunshine. Even the men who are the most strenuously opposed to matrimony have their secret ideals—some one type of woman interests them more than others do — but they are frank world, for the single man never knows at what place or time he will meet the one woman who will cause all his determination and theories to melt like fog before the sunshine. Even the men who are the most strenuously opposed to matrimony have their secret ideals—some one type of woman interests them more than others do—but they are frank enough with themselves to scout the idea that their ideals can be met with on this mundane sphere. It is equally useless for a man deliberately to refuse to go to a place which women frequent or refuse pointblank to be introduced to the sex for which he has no use. Cupid does BASEBALL AS KNOWN TODAY WAS INVENTED BY ORIOLES John McGraw, Hugh Jennings and Other Members of Famous Team Originated "Inside Stuff." The old Baltimore team of 1894-5, one of the greatest teams ever got together, originators of the new style of ball play, was a galaxy of athletes who were endowed with brains and brawn, and made them count in the game of baseball. With a pitching staff composed of such mediocre hurlers as Hemming, Esper and Hopper, with the old stars who were in the sere and yellow, such as Tony Mullane, "Kid" Gleason and "Dumpling" McMahon, the team won three pennants. Later it added Arlie Pond and Jimmy McJames. All these hurlers made records in games won owing to the brilliancy of the team behind them. A most peculiar fact about the famous Baltimores of 1894-5 was that they were all at one time or another battery men. Johnny McGraw began his career on the diamond as a pitcher, and was credited with being very tricky, but a fierce kicker. Hugh Jen- A nings was no false alarm as a catcher, and his friends declare that he made a mistake when he switched for an infield position. "Wee Willie" Keeler was a left-handed hurler, but lacked weight for pitching, but seemed to have the necessary avoiddupoils to hit a ball as hard as the best. The noted Ed Hanlon, manager of the team, used to pitch before taking to the outfield. Then there was Joe Kelley of the Torontos. When Joe was a fullfledged Oriole he played the outfield, but Mr. Kelley won considerable fame as a hurler of curves and otherwise. Even "Big Dan" Brouthers began his baseball career as a pitcher, but that was away back. Refiz, the second baseman, also Infield F. Bonner, were good catchers, and spent part of their minor league days behind the bat, and the famous Walter (Steve) Brodie was a clever backstopper at one time. So every player on that famous old team won his spurs either as a pitcher of curves or as a receiver of them. Four of the famous squad are now four of the greatest managers in the game, and "Kid" Gleason is in line for a big league job as manager, and it's not to be wondered at that the Baltimore team of those days won pennants with J. McGraw, Hugh Jennings, Wilbur Robinson, Joe Kelley in its ranks, and Edward Hanlon, the manager of managers, at the helm. accompanying his chum, saw there a young woman so plain of face that he marveled why the good-looking young man dancing with her should be eager to secure her for the next waltz, the next and yet others. During the course of the evening, the young man who had fought so hard against coming was introduced by the friend he had accompanied to the very plain young woman. She looked up with a smile and that smile so radiated her whole face that her new acquaintance looked upon her in wonder. It charmed him, interested him, made her almost beautiful. Her gracious personality, sweetness and wholesomeness captured the citadel of his heart in that first moment of meeting. He could not forget her or the sound of her voice or the touch of her hand. He who had laughed at matrimony and the notion that it took a woman's love to make a man really happy and life worth living was manly enough to confess that he had erred in his judgment, when he thought the careless life of a bachelor free lance was happier than that of the man who had placed himself in the hands of a good woman to be loved and cared for in the married state. Cupid very often allows a man to go a great length ere he halts him. He can only run the length of his rope—finding the matrimonial noose at the end of it. "If we live, we love." Poultry Pointers. (By H. L. KEMPSTER, Missouri College of Agriculture.) As the chicks grow they need more room. It does not pay to let them crowd. Beware of musty, moldy, sour or decayed food. It is sure to cause trouble. Tough grass is of no value as a green food. Better sow some quick-growing crop. Feed hoppers greatly reduce the work. If they are kept filled, the chicks will never go hungry. If your chicks are not doing well something is wrong. Look out for lice and for worms in the intestines. Two-year-old hens had better be sent to the market. They seldom pay for their feed if kept over a third season. Grit and oyster shell should be included in the ration for both young and old. To neglect this would be poor economy. Young stock will do better if not compelled to pick their living with the old. There will also be less trouble from lice. Shade is one of the most important essentials during the hot months. Get the chicks into the orchard and cornfield. A growing chick will not thrive on short rations. If the right kind of food is fed, there is little danger of overfeeding, especially if they are given plenty of range. Supplement the regular feeds with a wet mash—fed crumbly. Feed all the chicks will clean up before going to roost, but none should be left in the trough, for it will sour. Mark the pullets this fall so that you will know just how old your hens are. A leg band on the right leg one year and on the left leg the next will assist in culling the flock. A hog ring will serve the purpose. Life Bright for "Kiddies" Whose Parents Follow the Advice of Luther Burbank Luther Burbank, the famous wonder worker among flowers, fruits and vegetables, has not forgotten to study the rearing of children as well. According to his advice the child's education should be largely of his own working out in a happy world of mud-pies, grasshoppers, tadpoles, and frogs. There should be trees to climb, brooks to wade in, various animals to pet, and all kinds of little creatures to study. "Any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education," says Mr. Burbank. Many mothers agree with this idea, and would discourage any actual book work for very young children beyond perhaps reading and writing. Little girls should be sent off to skip and dance and cook instead of to do sums and dictation. The oculists tell us that no child should read type in which the capitals are under a quarter of an inch high and that he should use his eyes if possible on large things and out in the open. Eye-strain and effort of attention are source of the nerve disorders too common in children. Wise and Otherwise. Time may be money to everybody but the lofer. And often the shoplifter finds it difficult to take things easy. Dead men tell no tales, but some of their widows may draw pensions. As long as a man can keep his temper he isn't his own worst enemy. A bachelor says that matrimony is one of the blanks in love's lottery. A woman's idea of an entertaining man is one who says nothing and listens. Spendthrifties may be so called because they have nothing in common with thrift. A girl's best insurance against trouble is to make a confidant of her mother. It's a woman's natural faith that enables her to believe only the things she wants to when she knows she doesn't.

Canada Government Access Turkish Parents Would Have No Misunderstanding as to Nativity of Their Offspring. A thick-set man of oriental aspect walked into the babies' clinic of a New York hospital accompanied by his wife, who carried a mite of humanity whose large, dark eyes looked this way and that with curious interest. For a while father, mother and child waited silently while a brisk young physician was busy with other patients, and then their turn came. The doctor stepped up to them with a mery glint in his eyes and proceeded to ask questions of the parents—who they were, where they lived, where they were born, and so on, quickly jotting down the answers. He found that the father was born in Turkey and the mother also. Then he held out his hands and said, good-naturedly: "Now, then, let's see the young Turk!" Instantly the young mother drew back a step and the father's face grew red. He swallowed once or twice before pointing to his child. "No, sir!" he explained, in broken English. "Him not young Turk—him young American!" And this time it was the doctor whose face grew red. THIB IS THE AGE OF YOUTH.

Senator Fall of Three Rivers was talking at the Republican convention in Chicago about political tricks. "The trouble with all tricks," he said, "is that they are apt to be called. The tenderest political tenderfoot is apt to call the slickest trickster. "It's like the tenderfoot in the Tin Can poker game. He was very, very tender, and they dealt him four aces; then, when he turned his back to order a sandwich, the dealer slipped a sixth card on to his pile, thus nullifying his good hand. "The tenderfoot said nothing, apparently. He munched his sandwich and bet, and bet, and bet. An enormous sum soon lay on the table. The dealer and his pals were more than pleased, but they could not understand the bartender, who kept making the queercest faces at them from the bar. "The tenderfoot' finished his sandwich at last, called the betting, and laid down his cards. There were only five of them; the sixth had disappeared. "He gathered up his winnings, nodded a cool good-night and walked out. The dealer, cursing and swearing, roared: "What did he do with that sixth card? "What did he do with it? howled the bartender.

Then, despite the fact that there was company at the table, he deliberately picked up his saucer and licked it clean.

It would be one of Mr. Russel's first acts to reorgan- ine the office work and every em-~ ploye connected with the banking department wovid be a man with practical banking experience. Bankers thruost the state will reconize the advantage in having men of such experience in the auditor's efice. With Mr. Rus- sel as state asditor’ the people would have the definite assurance that the business of. that office would be conducted in accordance with the most approved methods of business and banking.
