LIVING for the Children.

Froebel's sentiment Come, let US
live for our children" rests on a sound
philosophic basis. To live for them is
to call out the noblest impulses OF
parenthood. And we cannot live for
them in the truset until we be-
come familiar with their needs. 1t is
in the endeavor to meet those needs
in the largest way possible that we
find our own characters richly recon-
pensed in strong and welldeveloped
p%arenthood. We practically become
what we are by what we have done or
left undone, what we are willing or
unwilling to do for our children. The
principle is universal, and should find
it's extension and application among
children at all times and in all places,
Has not the church lost ground in
failing to recognize the primary and
fundamental place Of the child in so
ciety? If so, it is obvious how that
lost ground may be recovered.-Homi.

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

I'M lessons taught by this unique
advertisement. The town that is not
kept in good condition, its walks in
good repair, it's streets well graded,
and all neat and clean, is a reflection
upon the residents of the place, and
is evidence that the town is already
dead or fast dying. Should you make
a good impression upon strangers,
keep streets clean, business places at

front yards and the general conditions
of the residences indicate the charac-
ter of the people who reside in them.

Residents of agricultural sections
who a few years ago looked upon the
automobile as a nuisance, are begin
ming to realize that it is a great factor
in road improvement, n has brought
about renewed interest in country
roads and their betterment, with a cor
responding benefit to the farmers.
1t is as much to the interest of the
people of a town that there be good
roads leading to it, as it is to the
farmers who must use them in haul
inr. their pO0dS tO market.
There is a vast difference in the
farmers of to-day and the farmers of

derful how the Improvements brought
into existence in a single generation
will change conditions. Every limo

more desirable, also finds a way OF
comforting a benefit upon the farmers.
No longer need for the resident of the
farm district to not have all the up
to-date things that can be found In the
finest city homes. The telephone and
the rural delivery has brought him
within a "stone throw" of the city.

Fire at the Minot Mill.

A bad fire was narrowly avert
ed at the Minot Flour Mill at an
early hour Monday morning, and
rs it was. $500 damage was
done.
When Geo Bissell passed the
mill about l o'clock that morning
he saw the fire and maraged to
break into the building by kick
ing in a panel of the door. Get
ting hold Of the fire extinguish-
ers, he held the fire in check, un-
til the alarm could be turned in
and the firemen arrive. The
flames were soon extinguished.
The fire seemed to have start
ed from the wall of the office and
soon that part Of the mill was in
flames. The type writer and Of
fee furniture were ruined tut
the flames had not spread to the
mill proper before they were put
out.
Several days ago some cinders
were thrown against the side OF
the building and it may be that
some live Goals were unnoticed.
The fire may have started from
spontaneous combustion. The
loss is fully covered by insurance.
