ed home from a very pleasant four

Birds eye maple bed room suits

The Saturday News diamond ring

show window of Halbkat's jewelry
store is pronounced by good judges
of diamond rings to be one of the
prettiest rings they have ever seen.
Just think Of it, girls, you have a
chance to win this handsome and
valuable prize if you will get out

An exchange is again agitating
the scheme to name all country
roads as streets are now named,
and to number the houses along
these roads. The plan is certainly
good one and would be great
help to strangers in finding their
way about without making fire.
quent inquiries. 1t would be a
good thing also if each farmer
would name his farm and have
sign near the road with the name
of the farm as we'll as his own
printed on it, the same as they do
in some localities farther east.
Nearly every place has some charac-
teristic from which it might de-
rive name. For instance: if
there were some ash trees near the
house it might be called the "Ash
Lawn Farm" or if the farmer had
a nice clover meadow it might be
called the "Clover Leaf" or if
like a few places that can be
found it might be called the
Never Work. But the idea is
a good one and we would be glad to
see every farmer give his place
name.
One of our exchanges very wisely
says: Butter worth 80 cents per
pound is made from the same milk
that grease worth 4 cents per pound
is made. 1t takes as much milk
to make the one as the other. The
one is the result Of ignorance, the
other of intelligence. The one
goes begging in the market, that
brings poverty upon the producer,
the other is everywhere in demand
and brings wealth and honor to
the maker. The one honors the
cow, the other disgraces her The
one builds novels and sheds, the
other builds mansions and costly
barns! The one covers the farm
with mortgages, the other removes
them! The one brings ignorance
to the children, the other knowl-
edge and responsibility. limo wa,
are ignorace and knowledge more
plainly brought in contrast than
in the manufacture of butter. Ig-
norance sits in poverty and is
clothed in want and disgrace, while
knowledge is clothed in plenty and
respectability!'
