Rainy Days a Blessing on The
Farm, Many Odd Jobs Can
Be Done.

Rain, Rain, Rain! "More rain,
more rest" That's what it used to-
be, but not SO now, or it shouldn't
be. We have so many more work
days of sunshine than rainy days that
there are many things neglected on
the farnas1hat should be done. Most
people will sit around on rainy
days and complain of the rain and
lhard times and gormandise when
really the rainy days are blessing
to those who are accompanied in
their work by will. - WILL" the
proverbial will" is great helper,
a powerful stimulus and motor. He
is indiscriminate in his help, pushes
dignity into all work. He strength

and expands the brain of the think

would the dinner bell ring; how
soon ths5ayi is gone, all obliyious

ing rain drops. In the Offices books
and papers are re-arranged, the
worthless ones burned. In the stores
there is general cleaning up and

sented. On the farms fertilizers are
mixed, harness oiled and mended
and farm implements repaired and
painted. Blessings Gn disguise) are

without any compensation, save the

duty.
God, in his divine wisdom, makes
no discrimination in regard to rain,
for he says it shall fall upon the
just and the unjust. And right now,
as we write, he is watering the
earth, much of which will be stored
deeply INTO the ground, and at the

PROTEST MAILED KNOX.

Mexico City, Dec. 14.-Resolutions
tions ratified at mass meeting Of
Central Americans last night were
mailed to Taft and Knox They de
clare, "the United States has no right
to intervene in Central America and
we affirm that the purpose of your
government is consummate otfense
against Nicaragua, arousing political
passions, taking advantage of the
credulity and disloyaIty of some Cen
tral Americans.
Nicaragua has grounds to con
slider that the present revolution is
promoted by thei government of the
United States and has perfect right
to claim determination for the lass of
life and interests caused.
IF the United States had sought
an equitable and impartial solution It
would have accepted the mediation
offered by Mexico to solve the ques
tion peacefully.
1--WE consider your note is not in.
spired by a government friendly to
the people of Central America, and
protest against the aggression your
government is practieing against
Nicaragua. We call upon all our
countrymen to be alert respecting the
dominating and absorbing tendencies
of the American government in order
that they act as the patriotism and in
dependence of our five republic .e-
quire."
