The people of the county have for some time

time to hatch up some other trick to try to cheat

Gladness is health-giving. II pro-
longs life. We all know the good Of
cheerfulness in the
sickroom. 1t is
N'"'' just as much need
ed in everyday life. 1t adds zest to
our work. Whistling or singing at
ones task makes time pass more
swiftly and less tediously. Work
cheerfully done is better done. One
puts something Of ones personality
in ones work. If we have troubles
to bear, so do all others. Do not add
to the burdens Of others by going
about with gloomy face and pres
ence. Think Of the cheerful things.
Do not repine at failure. What seems
such may not be so. Out of failure
one may reap riches Of character,
says the Milwaukee Journal. There
is no failure SO great as failure OF
spirit and heart in life. II we are
sincere, il our work is real, no mis-
fortune, no lack of appreciation, no
malice can ruin us. With truthful
ness and earnest endeavor in us we
can face the world with smile on
the lip and gladness of heart shining
in our eyes. Then whatever comes
to us in life, let us seek the gladness
of it. There is always n bright side.
Let us make the best of all. II we
give each day all Of cheerfulness that
we can, life will be full of blessings.
1t is glorious thing to carry fund

Orpington, as preferred in England,

is discouraged by English experts.
The proper type for the Orpington
is q broad and massive body on short
legs. They should have close and not
loose or fluffy plumage. They should
have a white skin and Of the type
that produces Buff Plymouth Rocks.
