Supporting a newspaper costs a
town scarcely a cent Though the
paper may be we'll Patronized and
the business men may spend large
sums OF money advertising, the cash
very quickly gets back INTO the
channel OF trade from whence il

gets is spent at home and it goes TO
the merchants who delight in bene-
fitting themselves and the community

AxiOMS.
BY Ebert Hubbard.

I hold these truths to be seli-evident:
That a man was made to be happy.
That happiness is only attainable
through useful effort.
That the best way to help ourselves is to
help others. and often the best way to
help others is to help ourselves.
That useful effort means the proper
exercise of all our faculties.
That we grow only through this exercise.
That education should continue. En-
deavor should be, especially. the solace OF
the old.
That where men alternately work. play
and study in right proportions, the organs
of tire mind are the last to fail, and death
FOR such has no terrors.
That the possession of wealth can never
make a man exempt from useful manual
labor.
That If ali would work u little. none
would be overworked.
mat if no one wasted, all would have
enough.
That if zone were overfed, none would
be underfed.
That the rich and educated" need edu-
cation quite as much as the poor and
illiteratc.
That the person who lives on the labor
OF others. not giving himself in return to
the best of his ability, is really d consumer
of human life. and therefore no better
than n cannibal.
THAT ZACH one living naturally will 90
the thing he can do best, but that in
useful service there is no high nor low
That all duties. Offices and things which
are useful and necessary are sacred, and
that nothing else is or can be.

Haakon VII. replied warmly: Il nave

me here, ! must before everything else
get an intimate knowledge of Norway.

"~Meanwhile, it is with supreme personal
pleasure that / have noted here in Chris

sure that French will be spoken In the
royal palace and as well as possible. For

that the will wash away in
spring. We have found no trouble In
that direction. The loss Is much less
than by letting the manure lie in
heaps. Besides when rains come, we
want the right where 1t will
dissolve and go into the soil.
The saving of time in hauling. cav
ing the spring clear for other and more
pressing work. Is "A great help. In these
days Ut expensive labor, the farmer
must study out the most economical
ways of using that labor. Where help

ing Is carried on. hauling the manure
to the field and spreading 1t each day.
Is one OF the labor saving methods of
latter day farming. one of the best
ways To make money on the farm, Is
to study the best methods of doing
farm work. 1t is an easy thing to
waste labor. Indeed. we know of no
business where labor is not more
economically handled than it is on the
average farm. The farmer is suffering
for labor in many ways. yet for lack
of study it is often wasted.-From
