It would be impossible to ,tate without knowing conditions in simateiy whether one town were bet. ter tbnu another as market for poul- " products There is little question that there are many where the eondi-

Every hov whe has chance 'o go to school should make the most of il and not suuander the best opportunities he .ser has by fooling away his time with things that are not worth while. The reasen why so many boys make a mis- take at this point Is that they don't sec the connection between schooling and success in after life. But. whether they see It or not. the connection Is there just the same. The difference between the fellow who goes through life merely eiodhopper and ignora- mus and the one who succeeds in what he undertakes is largely the result af the use which is made of the years In school. Many a man looking back is able to see the mistake he made when he quit school for no good reasea and metsphericaiiy speaking. kicks himself soundly. but to no purpose for fl is too late.

The ready adaptation of plant life to environment is nicely shown in the roots of trees from which the earth has been removed. exposing them to the air and sunlight. In short time they take on the appearance of trunk and limbs Again the germ shoots of plants destined to be branches readily transform to roots if covered with soil. Helpless seemingly as these creatures of the vegeta bie kingdom are. they are nevertheless endowed with a marvel ous capacity for looking out for their own welfare.
