THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

That's true" said an old reliable customer of ours to his friend the other day. Say, do you know, no matter where I go visiting I'm very seldom pleased with the tea or cof- fee they serve us at lunch. We al ways get our tea, coffee and butter at PHELAN'S, and it's always so stimulating and appetizing and, what's best of all, the quality is al ways uniform, and every time we sit at the table we're sure the drinks will be the o. K kind" "Well," 1" said his friend, "I also believe

 simply because the tea, cofee ana butter is N. G. They are purchased at some of those huxter, Cheap John stores where they give trading stamps, and they don't give darn what the quality is so long as they get them catch penny stamps. But I'll put an end to that business. I'll go to PHELAN'S myself and get the good tasting kind" Well, we'll, if he does come to our store he won't get any trading stamps, but he will get the very best quality of tea and coffee to be had for the price. Of course the 'old lady" will be "stung and, ''by gosh" it will be the price of her. This week we give a butter crock with a pound of warranted good 50c tea at

should be kept in a convenient and dry
place and, if possible, so that it could
be gotten without going out in the
storm for it. If the water supply for
the home comes from we'll it should
be as near the house as sanitary con-
ditions will permit, as the item of car
rying water is a serious burden, at
best. The pump should be such as
would not freeze as nothing is so dis
comforting as to have to thaw the
pump on some cold morning when the
thermometer registers below zero.
Every farm home should have a
root cellar as it is much more conven-
lent to get vegetables during the cold
weeks than digging them out Of the
frozen ground. It should be arranged
so that each member of the family
especially in the farm home, could
have some rest and pleasure during
the winter months as there is very
little time for these, during the other
months of the year. Plans should be
made for entertaining friends, also en-
tertainment and pleasures for the chill
dren should not be forgotten, such as
game boards for all, toys for the little
tots, and sewing, reading, etc., for the
older boys and girls.
I was one of family of nine chill
dren and as I remember Our happiest
times were the long evenings of win
ter, in which, after our work was done,
we would collect in the sitting room,
and my mother would read to us.
One evening in each week she would
read from our local paper, DR.. Tai
IMAGES sermon from which many good
thoughts were treasured up in our
youthful minds.

ting for children as the works of the
great English poet. No wonder tn
children do not care for reading when
books entirely beyond their compre-
hens1on are given them The other
lady selected ten, fifteen and twenty
hive cent volumes for her children, and
since then they have been read time
and again. Of course many of the
best books are copyrighted and cannot
be bought for less than a dollar, but
IN the cheap list there are hundreds of
good titles to select from.
And it isn't in books and games
alone that parents are careless. There
are parents all over the country who
could not sit down and tell you what
books their children study at school.
They know instantly about the sheep
or the cattle or the horses, but when
it comes to knowing how the boys
and girls are getting along at school
they are hopeless1y ignorant. If you
have ever taught school, you know
how certain scholars race home to tell
OF little triumphs at school, while
care to be bothered with the daily
happenings Of the little school world.
A great deal depends upon the
scholar, but great deal more depends
upon the parents back of the boys and
girls. The man who never has time
to praise his sons and daughters for
good work done in the schoolroom is
dismal failure, no matter how many
acres of land and how much stock he
may possess.
''I don't think anything about the
school work Of today" many people
will tell you. Fittings change so that
I am all behind the times"
Now what business have you to be
behind the times? The farmer is not
using the methods Of fifty years ago,
nor does he sit hopeless1y down to let
the busy world go past him. During
the long winter evenings there is
ample time to look over the books
your children study, and see what is
going on in the educational world.
Reading and spelling and arithmetic
vary little, if any, and geography isn't
as hard as it looks One family has
used for long time set of geogra-
ply cards, and grandfather and grand
mother vie with the younger members
of the family in getting the greatest
number of cards when the game is in
dulged in It all depends upon the
people whether they are behind the
times or not.
1t takes only few minutes to in
qulre at the close of each dav how
the boys and girls got along at school.

The Parents Share.

A great many parents seem to think
that the children have duties but that
they have none, beyond feeding and
clothing them. A contributor to Farm
and Preside seems to think that there
is something else due the children, she
says:
Too many parents consider their
whole duty done when they send the
boys and girls to school every day
when they are able to be there. 1t is
true the boys and girls must go to
school, but if the parents think they
have done their part when that is
accomplished they are making a griev-
Gus mistake. Any one who has
taught school will tell you that there
is a vast difference between children
from homes where the parents are
doing their part, and the neglected
boys and girls from homes where edu-
cation is left entirely to the school
and the teacher.
Last winter this was very forcibly
illustrated when two ladies from the
same neighborhood were buying toys
and Christmas gifts for their children.
'What kind of a game do you
want?' asked the CLERK.
The careless lady answered, ooh,
anything, so it's a game" and took the
first one shown her.
It happened to be a foolish little
arrangement without anything to
recommend it, but she was satisfied.
The careful lady selected dissected
maps and a game giving the capitals
and other important facts about the
states of the Union Both spent the
same amount of money, but one
bought things with educational value,
while the other simply wasted what
she spent. If the educational games
and the foolish ones can both be af-
forded, it is we'll to include a little
nonsense now and then; but where
one must spend carefully, why not get
the best?
From the game counter they passed
on to the book department of the
store, and here the same conversation
was repeated The lady whose chill
drn "did not care for reading" and
yet who bought a few books every
year because other people did, select
ed at random a volume of Browning's
poems and few others about as fit

We Wrote q Letter

to Santa Claus and reminded him that Christmas day was going to fall on December 25th, just as it has for a long, long time. And we informed him we wanted a whole lot of pFetty dolls, etc, to be sent to our store just as soon as possible, and he was so DELIGHTED that he called us up on the telephone and said he'd send them right away. And he Kept right on talking, asking whole lot of questions. He wanted to know was "Cinder Park" laid out yet; Ii the Woodbury trolley line would ever be finished: if the democratic alder men had begun business yet; Ii Bald win street was double tracked. or was the single track ever finished if the firemen were allowed to ride free on the trolley yet, the same as they are in all big cities where ne calls around once year. He also wanted to know if the Waterbury cops were deprived of riding free on the trolleys, and if so wanted to Eno" what the reason was. He seemed 10 be very much interested in the brass buttoned, blue coated street walkers. He thought the new board of safety should have a sign on each cops back WE WALK. He also wanted to know if the cops" were still pull ing the wine dispensers for selling on Sunday, and if so, why in thunder don't the people drink Phelans tea, coffee or buttermilk and leave ihtoxi- cants severely alone. Well, that is very good advice and we hope the coming year will see a reform. By reform we mean we hope everyone who doesn't drink good tea and cof fee will call at our store and get the good kind; it only costs you the same as the poor quality costs you from the other fellow. For the nice tast ing kind remember

more than "a hours the oil spouted
from the 300 foot well and disproved
the many hints that the Santa Maria

of the district may be even greater

mistic ones.

poured out many thousands of barrels
before its flow was controlled
It is also believed that the life OF
the new well will be longer than that
Of the first Hartnell gusher because
the gas pressure seems to be not so
great and the flow is steady and not
in intermittent spurts.
Renewed energy has been given the
developers in the Santa Maria field by
the new gusher.
This is one of the deepest wells in
the district and it may result in the
deepening of other wells in that part
of the county.
