How a Trim Farm-yard Helps.

told our folks this morning that believe it is
matter OF education to pass along the road and
see line farm-yards and trirn-looking houses. We
are all of us creatures of imitation. We see a
good thing, and it appeals to u.s. We would like
to do a good thing too
On the road that runs past my farm there is
place which always looks as neat as a pin. The
lawn is always moved smoothly; the trees in the
yard are trimmed up nicely; there is little HEDGE
along the highway; flowers grow in the ward: over
the porch Chamber two or three clematis-vines.
the house is painted frequently, and the barn and
all outbuildings have fresh and up-to-date look.
Now, everybody likes the looks of that farm
house. Few people pass who do not look over to
the yard, the trees, the house and the flowers and
say, How pretty things look therei" The eve is
the gateway to the heart, and swiftly the thought
comes, Il wish our home might be made to look

most instinctively the stranger would say, upon
looking at such place, "Well, that man cares
nothing for his business. He is one of the fell
lows with whom farming does not pay" The
effect of such an example is to lower the tone of
humanity, as well to keep folks away from the
country.
Most of us might do little better in this mat

How Children Grow.


At the very beginning of the "teens" long
| series of important changes take place in the
body and in the mind of boys and girls Some
of these have long been known, but within very
recent years food of new light has been shed
upon this age.
Scores of elaborate measurements agree that
among every known race there is at this period of
LIE marked increase in the rate of growth.
First, children begin to grow tall; some shoot up
tWo' three, and in extreme cases, four and five
inches IN single year, while in others the growth
period is more prolonged and it's rate slower.
About year and half later comes the greatest
rate of increase in weight
Children usually grow tall most RAPIDLY in the
spring; the season of greatest growth in weight
is In the fall. While the spinal column increases
In length, the greatest increase is with the long
bones of the leg, especially the thigh-bone which
may grow SO fast that the muscles of the leg for
time are tense and painful
Every tall and slender youth has two slight dis
advantages. Ills body has more surface than that

HOW THE MARCH
WAS WRITTEN
The way John philip sousa Came to
Write the March For His Famous
Light Opera Gel Captain"

when sousa was writing ''El Captain
one of the most successful comic operas
Of many. years, he studiously avoided
anv seulblance on march time IN tne
music. presumably for the very reason
that the public would naturally anti
cipate a march OF some cort in a sousa
opera, and that he would demonstrats
that he not only was not over-inclIned
70 march time but really avoided it save
when ne saw fit to give to the field OF
band music a special contribution.
Therefore the opero was born and Chris
tened devoid of march time It has q
more or less w-ar-lilSe atmosphere, and
there was every opportunity for real
stirring martial ensemble climax, but
Sousa used the chance with otner treat
ment equally effective.
Time came for staging the opera and
the producers were enthusiastic. At
the first rehearsal one OF them suggested
that certain martial scene should be
sung in march time. The suggestion at
once created an impression throughout
the company as we'll as among the pro-
ducers, and the latter set to find Sousa
who was living at the Grenobie at the
time.
.Loois here. Mr.. sousn" said the
spokesman. gthe finale of the second act
Of Sci Captain offers a magnificent op-
portunity for grand march and We
have come TO ask you to write one es-
peciaIIy to 1T the spot"
ee1Eonsense," replied sousa, ''that i
the very thing 1 avoided doing"
"Ah, but you do wrongl You throw
away grand chancei Please do itl''
For more than week the famous
composer was obdrrate, but 50 much
pressure was brought to bear that at
last he consented to write a special
march for the opera and not only that
but he put band in the scene and that
scene has never failed to arouse an
audience to high pitch. This is how one
of Sousa's greatest marches came to be
written
aEl Captain win appear at the
Traders Grand opera house Tuesday
evening, September 81.
