There must be some life in the
boy, or he will not rise under any
circumstances until the day APP
pointed for the resurrection Of the
dead. If he starts out in life as a
failure he will end as one unless
he gets thoroly wakened up in
some way. Give every boy and girl
a fair chance and reasonable en-
enlargement, and do not condemn
them even because of large de-
gree of downright stupidity; for
many so-called good-for-n nothing
boys, blockheads, numskulls, dull
lards, or ounces. were only boys
out of their places, round boys
forced into square holes. .5
In no activity has there been
more progress during the last 20
years than that of the country
newspaper. There are now hun
dreds of country papers which in
editorial ability, mechanical APP
pearance, and all that contributes
to inspire respect and command at
tention are fully abreast Of their
metropolitan contemporaries in
moral tone, and often in editorials
they surpass most Of the great DAHL
les. In times past the country edi-
tor was quite generally regarded
with half plying contempt as a
good natured but chicken hearted
chronicler of inconseqeuntial locals.
All of this has changed. Country
newspapers, as a class, WELD the
mightiest influence in the nation,
The editors are men Of character
and enterprise, doing more for the
community FOR less money than
any other body Of workers. 5S
The season Of the year is at HAND
when fire does its worst work
Fields are dry, and barn yards
are choked with hay, straw anc
other combustible material. Farm,
ers are too#busy as a rule to lool
after things that may be postponed
Ia fire started now is liable tx
prove serious, because no matter
!. where it starts it is apt to lead tt
valuable property. Now is the
time to clean up and burn or haul
away all scattering remnants Of
refuse Of any kind that may will
a wind and a carelessly dropped
match cause trouble. The industri
|ous use of a hay rake and pitcl
i fork now may save a serious firt
i later on. If there is not a good AMI
Sufficient frebreak around tn,

and the fences standing in com
i busible material, now is the tim
