The winner always makes good. just
now Coach Haughton of the Harvard
eleven is the greatest coach ever known
at Cambridge and they are already
winning next years game on the
strength of having him to instruct the
team. There is not enough that can be
said in praise of his strategy and good
judgment. All this, because a
young man named Kcnnard kicked
the goal which won the game whel
Baughton sent him onto the field at a
critical moment last Saturday. Had
Kennard missed the goal. every Har-
ward man would have roundly con-
demned the poor Judgment OF
Eaugi,tor in making the substitution
at that junction. There would have
been no talk about next year except
the necessity for a change in the
coaching policy, etc. What a differ
ence it makes whether YOU win. And
the game of life is much like the game
of football.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT
State Charities.
(Port.and Advertiser.)

Portiand ADVERTISER
The arguments which are advanced
in s,,pport of the formation of a
state board of charities and correc-
tions are of a character to entitie
them to serious consideration. That
which will appeal to the economical
man relates to expense. 1t Is NAM
tanned that in the states in wnlch
such boards have been cstaDnsned
they have succeeded in reducing the
cost of maintaining State lnstitu-
tiors. Another thing which 1t would
be well to bear in mind is that the
body which it is proposed to create
acts onlv in an advisory capacity. 1t
does rot take charge Of State lnstltu-
tions and run them in its own way
Rut it does visit these establish
ments and study their work ana
methods 1t is said that such out
side inspection often results In val
liable suggestion. The energetic and
capable man, wrapped up IN MS
work and devoting necessarily much
tirac to its details may very natur-
aliv overlook something which would
he apparent to the visitor, although
the latter would not be capable him
self of taking charge of the work
which he sees ways OF Improving
That an outside critic may discover
chances for improvement or even flnd
actual defects in the operation OF
state institution does not by any
means imply that the people III
charge have not been dong their
work diligently and with ability. 1t
merely means that there is a fresh
ness in the man who takes the out
side point of view which sometimes
is not found in the ideas Of the man
who must necessarily look at things
from the inside. These. as we under
stand them. are in substance the ar
suments which are advanced IN sup
port Of the creation of the State
board of charities They are en-
titled to careful consideration and 1t
is to be hoped that there Will be ac-
tive interest taken in the hearing
which the commission considering the
matter will give in this city tomorrow
evening.

one reason which is advanced in the
South in excuse for the wholesale
slaughter of the robins which takes
place there every winter is that the
robin is not a song bird in that section
of the country. Save for few shrill
notes, it saves all its song for its sum-
rers in the North. Moreover, it is not
regarded in the Sauth as a native"
bird, such as the hooking bird which
stays there the year round. Hence
some nf the states. Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee. nave no pro-
tectinS laws for these birds and they
are slaughtered there in enormous
numbers every winter, being esteemed
10 less than the quail or snipe when
properly cooked and served. The robin
is valued summer visitor here in the
North. not merely for its beautiful song
but because of its practical usefulness
in destroying bugs and worms. One
statistician has figured it that every
robin is worth dollar year to the
Northern farmer for the insects it de-
stroys. But whatever their financial
value we cannot afford to lose them.
and so are especially interested in the
agitation being made toward legislation
tor their protection in the southern
states where they are now slaughtered
in great numbers every winter for the
table.

SEED TESTING.
How an Audrain County Farmer
May Know What He's
Planting.

NJ. +. Miller. of the College Of
Agricultureand Experiment Station
at Columbia, is making the follow.
ing announcement thru the news
papers of the State:
A seed testing laboratory for the
benefit of Missouri farmers has re-
Gently been installed at Columbia
by the United States Department
of Agriculture in co. operation with
the Missouri Experiment Station.
This laboratory is thoroughly
equipped for making accurate tests
of the impurities aud weed seeds
in all samples aud also for making
termination tests when desired.
All that is necessary is for the far
mer to send in IA sample of two
table spoOnfuls or more with his
name attached aud letter accom-
pauying it stating whether he wish
es simply IA quality test made or
both quality aud termination test.
The samples sent in should repre-
sent accurately au average of the
seeds from which they are taken.
This work will be done free oi
charge for all Missouri farmers
and seedsmen and reports returned
within few days. Missouri far
mers have thus far been at the
mercy of INSCRIPTIONS seed dealers
and it is for this reason that the
laboratory is being installed. 1t
will be possible under this arrange.
ment for a farmer to write to seed
houses for samples and quotations,
send these samples to Columbia
for testing aud then buy on the
results of this examination. The
value of such seed testing to the
farmers of Missouri can scarcely be
over emphasized aud it is hope d
that they will take advantage of
this opportunity which is offered
them.
