+ 1t is a solemn fact that nine-tenths of
those people who spent three years in
putting up such household notices as
God Bless Our Home. sFeed Ny
Sheep" "Bless My Lambs" and so on
down to Forget Me Not" have spent
the last two in takiLg them down and
looking for something new. There is q
demand for something different, and ge-

to business. "God Bless Our Home"

covered that blessings wouldn't come
without hard work and lots of planning.

in gilt, it would beat chrome of the
Yosemite Valley all hollow. -Shut the
door is little old, but let US add. ''0r
I'll wallop youl" and it at once becomes
thing to be gazed at and pondered over.
Forget Me Not" has no significance at
all. and should have never appeared as
q motto. Noone will forget you is you
are like the rest of the world. Let Us
replace these meaningless words with:
Remember Those Carpet Tacks."
Honor thy Father and Mother seems
to have played out entirely as q motto.

A hARGE per cent. of the grain and
forage crops of the country are injured
in stacking and no small esaatity is an
nually ruined in this way. Stacking and
ricknlg is not a kind of work which any
kind of raw laborer is fitted to per-
form, and putting a cheap half hand in
charge of it is about us eXtravagant a
piece of false economy as can well be
practiced. The harvest hand of the best
experience and soundest judgment is
the one to build the stack, and a close
looking after this point will ~often save
several days wages in the result of a
single days work. The stack of grain
or hay needs TO be so put up as to effect
ually turn water and to stand intact
through wind and storm. The hand who
builds a crooked pile, topping it out so
as to "get through" as quickly as possi-
bic, without regard to the possibilities
of weather, and who leaves the outside
of his stack rough and unkempt. should
be relegated at once to less important
position.-[StOckman.

War-like SnarrOXs.

The Austrian capital is suffering from
a plague of birds, an unusual affiiction
for large city. The invaders are spar
rows, and they, are so numerous and,
withal, so robust and belligerent. that
such winged favorites as the thrush and
nightingale have been driven from the
city by them. Indeed, the sparrows
have become so great a nuisance that the
municipal authorities have been compell-
ed to appoint a special chassear to wage
war against them; and he, armed with
an air gun. now perambulates the parks
and avenues, silently pursuing the work
of destruction.--New York Tribune.

FARMERS are by no means scarce who
have surplus cash on hand which they
are anxious to proftably invest, and
there is perhaps more available money
at their disposal now than at any time
for more than ten years. While looking
for a paying investment, we would like
to ask, What kind of farm stock have
your Have you good high-grade or
thoroughbred cattle, hogs. sheep and
horses, or is there complete absence of
quality in your possessions? 1t is too
latesa day 10 argue that pure-bred stock
is the best and most profitable that can
be put on the farm. That is now gen.
orally admitted fact, and but few men
viii dispute it. If the farm stock is not
what it should be, here is a field for
profitable investment. The 5@7 per
cent. which can be obtained for loaned
funds is by no means as good as the
constantly growing interest which: good
stock, well managed. will yield. But no
man needs to 60 to excess in this mat
ter There is a limit everything, and
money may be thrown away in buying
line stock as well as in anything else.
No 81 900 OF $1,000 bulls are wanted for
ordinary farm purposes. Breeders alone
hase use for these fancy-valued animals.
Tie farmer wants good sires, of un-
ddnbted good descent and family, which
can ordinarily be obtained for much less
money, while intrinsically worth as
mhch as these high-priced prize ami
mails. 1t is not to be expected that from
comparatively costly bull or cow is to
be raised at once calf for the butcher,
but the infusion of that blood through
the farm stock will in the end furnish
for the shambles a class of beeves much
more profitable to the producer tlian
anything which can be grown from ma
tive blood Whether destined for the
dairy or the fat stock market, the best
paying animal is the one which
has quality. It is Unnecessary to say
that blood is of the same value in hogs,
sheep. horses and poultry. Our readers
know this, and We place such articles as
this before you occasionally to urge you
to act-not to tell you something which
you did not know. Do not look for
schemes for the best investment of mon
ey until you can see no unsupplied
wants in your farm stock Pittsburgh

1T is more than half a century since
something became Of William Morgan
of anti-Masonic fame. Whether he was
stranged, drowned, chemically analysed,
kindly allowed to fret out his life in
dungeon, or suffered to linger until con-
sumed by cancer on the conscience, has
since been a matter of Oft-recurring
speculation. Four men were punished
for abducting him, but still the mystery
remained to disturb politics and swell
current literature. 1t is not many
months since the mystery furnished
transient sensation and it now furnish
es another. In Pembroke, Genesee
county, New York, human bones have
been found hidden under heavy pile of
stone and earth. Workmen sifted the
"dirt" and were rewarded by the discov-
cry of silver ring bearing the mono
grom "W. NJ" which initials are Jump
ed at as fitting the very late William
Morgan. In the, same dirt" was found
a small tin box, resembling tobacco
box of the olden time" The box fell to

threatened with Imprisonment and death.
In 1929 Henry Brown, lawyer, pub
lished at Batavia A Narrative of the
Anti-Masenic Excitement. The infer
ence is that Morgan was murdered and
that Mr.. Brown was one of the murder
ers. "This discovery" says the cores
pondent of the New York Times, "bids
fair to explode all other theories regard
ing the fate of Morgan" 1t is to be
hoped so. Until now many theories
have hopelessly befogged the question,
and the only certainty about it. was that

The Ingratitnde of the Happy.

Some murmur when their sky is clear
And wholly bright to view,
If one small speck of dark appear
In their great heaven of blue.
And some with thankful love are filed
If but one streak of light,
One ray of Gods good mercy. gild
The darkness of their night.
In palaces are hearts that ask,
In discomfort and pride,
Why life is such dreary task,
And all good things de6led.
And hearts in poorest huts admire
How love has in their aid
