On Monday the Constructing En-
gineer of the Fairmont Creamery Co. {.
came with force Of assistants from
Omaha to make extensive improve
ments in the Denison plant. The
work will take about three weeks
and will require considerable local
help. A concrete floor will be put
under the watts and the vat capacity
increased. Two new churns will be
installed. These churns weigh over a
ton apiece and will churn one thou
sand pounds of butter each at a churn-
ing. A new forty horse power boiler
will be put in AS twin to the one
now in use. thus doubling the boiler
capacity. These with new engine
and some minor improvements will
make the creamery at Denison like a
new plant as far as the amount of
cream that Can be handled is con-
cerned. Last seasons make crowd
ed the plant to the limit and this
seasons promises to take the entire
capacity even with the the increased
facilities.

A Peculiar Well In Florida.
(Selected.)

(Selected.)
In their investigation of the wells
and underground waters of Florids
the geologists of the United States
Geological Survey have noted many
interesting things. Among these is
a we'll at Welaka on st. Johns River.
from which two kinds of water are
obtained.
The we'll is 300 feet deep. TIE
length of the casingi is 10 feet. The
we'll was first drilled to 16O feet, and
from this depth ordinary sulphur"
water was obtained. The drill was
then carried to depth of 300 feet,
where it encountered strong min
eral water, having a disagreeable,
salty taste. In order to use both
kinds of water an inner tubing was
run nearly to the bottom of the we'll.
Both this and the outer casing were
connected with pumps, so that ordi-
nary water and mineral water can
be pumped at the same time. A
favorite joke played on visitors is to
give them drink of the walker wa
ter in the first glass and to replace
it with the brine in the second.
Not more than half a dozen wells
of this kind are known in the coun-
try, but there is no reason why SINH
lar wells can not be obtained in re-
gions where the waters in the upper
strata differ from those lying deep
er.
In these Investigations of the wa
ters of Florida the Nation aud State
surveys are cooperating and much
valuable information has been gath
cred during the winters work.

no honors too distant to the man who
prepares himself for them with patti
ence."
The trouble with so many of you
boys is that you are too impetuous,
too eager t" arrive" too anxious tc
"get there" at a single bound. You
can't do it. A lot of your talent
powers are still to be developed even
if you have a diploma, and nothing
on earth can develop them but the
slow-moving process of learning by
doing. You have been learning by
reading and study for 10 these many
years, now you must begin to learn
by dong. Daniel Webster was just
right when he said: knowledge
does not comprise all that which is
contained in the large term of edu-
cation. The feelings are to be dis
ciplined; the passions are to be re-
strained; true and worthy motives
are to be inspired; a profound religi-
GUS feeling is to be instilled, and
pure morality inculcated under all
circumstances. All this is comprised
in education"
Now all this is not comprised in
the education the young graduate
has thus far received. A part of
the rest of it must come as a life ex-
perience. Take note of the fact that
the best men of all ages have believ-
ed in God and have tried to impress
upon the young the beauty and the
duty of this belief. There is an old
proverb that says that "a man de-
void of religion, is like hosre with
out bridle." Religion is mighty
good armor, boys. and you should
start out in life with faith in God
and a willingness to obey His will.
And so we wish all the great and
splendid army of American boy
graduates God-speed in their honest
efforts to be true to themselves, to
their country and to their God.

o sweet, still noontide of the sum-
mer day,
In the cool harbor of this fragrant
bay
Flooded with pillows of the new
mown hay.
Engulfed among the perfumed waves
lie,
Catching dream glimpses of the sea-
blue sky
With phantom cloud-ships passing
softly by.
Across my vision, in her loving quest.
The swallow SKINS and rises to her
nest,
Brooding her fedglin9s in her tawny
breast.
From orchard boughs the catbird,
mocking, filings
A challenge which from bob-o-lin-
coin brings
A trill of glee as thro' the air he
swings.
Far off the bleat of lambs upon the
hill
Blends with the whirring of a dis
tant mill
Half-glad, half-sad. like mingled
good and ILL.,
But underneath the sounds afar and
A flow of silence that l bend to hear
Hath finer message for my inner ear.
Soft on the scented reeds of new
mown hay
The fairies of the grass field family
play
The airs they sang to buttercups in
May.
And all the year their elfin notes
shall tell
Of secret haunts where sleeping
grass-roots swell
With life no frost nor scythe of death
can quell.
Thro' endless time, whatever winds
may blow,
One happy and eternal truth know:
The grass may wither, but the soul
shall grow.
