the purpose and doings of the press.

Bryant said
1.-The press Is good or evil accord

direct it. 1t is a mill that grinds all
that is put into it's hopper. Fill the
hopper with poisoned grain and it
will grind it to meal; but there is
death in the bread"
James Parton said
"The newspaper press is the peoples

Jefferson said
"The basis of our government be.

The sunburst that caught her corsage lace
Showed like rainbow lay.
The bridegroom looked grand in his fulldress
suit:
1t fitted him like glove;
He wore white kids, and his boutere
Of white was perfect love!"
WHAT He SAID.
"How did the bride and bridegroom look
As they walked down the church's aise?"
"Well, the bride was covered with bushes red
And the groom wore happy SMILE"

What is the purpose of feeding poul-

and vigor to young stock and to in
crease the egg production in older birds I?
II. L. Rice of Fairlee, VT tells how
"Page's Perfected Poultry Food" serves
these ends. Read his letter: "'Page's
Perfected Poultry Food is considered
