What must be the thoughts of that

storms and freezings in the last days of
May shook its head and declared that
all crops would be failure this year.
Ye of little faith, behold the rich re-
suits of Natures gracious smiles and
reform your ways.
Never forget you are part of the
town, and that your own department
helps to make up the strangers esti-
mate of the place. Sell all you can and
buy all you can at home. Every dollar
that is sent Or carried away from home
makes the town that much poorer If
you have the means invest in something
that will give somebody employment.

ter Herald is hustler for business.
This paragraph appeared on his local
page few weeks ago: ''The young
man who was seen with his sweet
hearts head on his shoulder Sunday
night will get his name published in
this department next week sure unless
he comes in and subscribes and pays a
year in advance before that time" All
Lancaster young men with sweethearts
are now subscribers to that paper.

If you are good at guessing or an
swering, here are few questions you
can wrestle with: You can any day see
a white horse, but did you ever see
white colt? How many different kinds
of trees grow in your neighborhood and
what are they good for? Why does a
horse eat grass backward and COW
forward? Why does a hop vine wind one
way and bean vine the other? Can
you tell why leaves turn upside down
just before rain? What wood will bear
the strongest weight before breaking?
Why are all cow paths crooked2-Ex.
The day of safely marketing rotten
eggs and eggs about ready to hatch is
over and both farmers and merchants
have ample reason for being exceedingly
careful of the hen fruit they dispose of,
as otherwise the consequences may be
exceedingly unpleasant. A government
Inspector recently hung around store
in an Iowa town, and when a farmer
brought in some eggs he said he wanted
some fresh eggs and took the lot. Sew
eral of them proved to be rotten and
the farmer was assessed $500 by Uncle
Sam under the pure food law. If the
merchant had taken the eggs and dis
posed Of them to his customers he
would have been liable to the same fine.
The only safe rule now for both farm
er and merchant is to candle their eggs
so that they know they are giving the
purchaser what he or she pays for. Elk.
