ferior seed almost always has
weed seed in 1t. II costs to re-
clean good seed, and that is one
reason why it is 80 high in price;
but we had better pay little
more than to have our farms all
grown up in weeds. The best is
none to good.
An hour of hard work getting
a stone out of the public road is
well spent, even if nobody thanks
sou for it.
Talk over your plans with your
wife as you sit around the even
ing fire. You will be surprised
to find how sound her advice is.
For a farm covering, good
barnyard manure is much better
than a mortgage; and judiciously
applied the former will speedily
remove the latter.
Far above the production GOT
wheat and corn and hay and po-
tatoes is the growth and cultiva-
ton of character; for, after all,
this is the main purpose of life.
Have you done your best and
been beaten? Keep a stiff upper
lip. Do a little better than your
best this year. You will win;
only be true, fair and square.
A mule may never be known to
kick and yet around his heels is
no place for small children: for
after the explosion regrets won't
mend the pieces, nor clubs better
the mule.
If you know a good thing, tell
your neighbor about it. 1t will
help him about his work, and it
surely can not do you any harm.
Bottled-up goodness soon turns
sour and spoils.
See to it that your straw and
clover stacks are not eaten from
beneath, so the winds will blow
them over on the stock. I have
a neighbor who lost nine sheep
at one time, and two a week later,
in this way.
When the wind bowls around
the corner of the house, see that
the cats and dogs have warm
quarters.
l put the pockets on the under
side of my kitchen aprons, and
find that they are just as conven-
lent for use and will not catch on
door-knobs and get torn.
A good tooth cleaner and pre-
server is precipitated chalk and
ground orris root. Clean white
teeth and breath like sweet
frankincense and myrrh," make
up for many a deficiency in fea-
ture.
If your cellar is dark and you
are afraid of accidents when go
ing down the steps, have the last
step whitened so that you may
easily know when you are at the
bottom. You can see this step
plainly even in a dim light.
Blankets should be washed in
lukewarm, not hot, water, or they
will shrink. They should be
hung upon the line and firmly
stretched full length, and a
heavy weight fastened to each
hanging corner to prevent sway
ing and wrapping them into q
roll upon the line. The weights
hold them in shape, and when
spread out in this manner they
dry quickly.

Reports Astors Ship Safe.

Tampa, Fla.-Brief wireless commu-
nication between Key West and San
Juan, Porto Rico, served to complicate
rather than to clear the situation sur.
rounding Colonel John Jacob Astor's
yacht Nourmahal.. But after sitting
matters down there is nothing to indi.
cate that the yacht is not safe at San
Juan, or was at least there Nov Is,
as reported by the steamer Caracas
and confirmed by that vesels captain
again later The fact that the wireless
operator at San Juan could not state
off hand that the yacht was In the
harbor gave rise to the report that the
vessel was still missing. But this In
terpretation is unfounded Because
of interrupted communication Of late
the operator at San Juan knew moth.
ing Of the anxiety for the Nourmahal,
and when asked specifically II the
yacht was there, replied simply that
he did not know Soon thereafter COM

400 MARINES ARE MAKING READY
TO DEPART.
TROOP SHIP PRAIRIE is TO SAIL
Naval Men Galore Are Seen a
Department--Many Boats
Are Being Rapidly
NoverhauIed.

Washington, d, C.--Preparations
for four hundred marines to sail from
Philadelphia either for the canal zone
or Nicaragua are being made. This
will constitute the first armed force
to land in Nicaragua. II developments
in the situation there within the next
few days require such course to be
pursued. All will depend upon the &C
tion to be taken by the state depart,
ment, which is marking time pending
the receipt of additional details OF the
killing of the two Americans, Grace
and Cannon.
The marines departure followed
rush orders sent to the League Island
navy yard after the state department
received the preliminary report of the
Staying by President Zelaya's order OF
the two men. 1t has been intended to
send the marines to Panama to re.
lieve marines now on duty there. The
date of departure from Philadelphia
was set for December 3, by which
time the troop ship Prairie, under
going repairs at the yard, would have
been ready to sail. Working night
and day, the League Island force will
be able to finish the repairs by No
vember 27 and that date has now been
set for the sailing of the marines.
Meyer to Review Men.
Secretary Of the Navy Meyer will
90 to Philadelphia to review the men,
as he intended before the war clouds
appeared in Central America.
In event of necessity the 3SO ma
rines now on the canal zone could be
utilized In Nicaragua in addition to
the 400 to be taken south by the Prai.
rie. With the troop ship Buffalo on
the Pacific coast and the Prairie on
the Atlantic the marines cid be
transferred from one coast Nicara'
qua to the other via the Panama rail-
road in comparatively short time.
Rear admirals galore were at the
navy department but In no instance
was 1t admitted that their presence
there had to do with the trouble In
Nicaragua. Rear Admiral Schroeder,
commander Of the Atlantic battleship
fleet, had a talk with Assistant Secre-
tary Winthrop.
It was settled that the shallow wa
ters along Nicaragua on the Atlantic
coast made the sending of battleship
there useless and such action is not
contemplated.
Preparations are being made by the
navy for an emergency but 1t was de-
MED that rush orders had been given
for the completion Of repairs on such
vessels as the Paducah and the Du'
buque. 1t was admitted, however, that
the ALBANIA and the Yorktown would
remain for the present in Magdalena
Bay. It had been generally felt that
they were about to be ordered north.

THANKSGIVING DAY
canada's Day sf Thanks a Month Ear
IIer Than In the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side Of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving month or more earlier
than we do. 1t may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded a note Of warning, or 1t may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
clared itself. But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past. 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event They
have had reasons, and good ones, too,
for giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded In
abundance, and here, by the way, 1t Is
not uninteresting to the friends of
the millions Of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously In the
cutting OF the melon" Probably the
western portion OF Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, have the greatest
reason of any of the provinces to ex-
press In the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results in the
line Of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others in
SO far as the total increase in the coun-
try's wealth Is concerned. There Is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi-
tions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now 1t
was we'll 1t was so, for with demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering OF
the grain has been successfully accom-
piished. There have been low gen.
eral averages, but these are account
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent. relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though,
for this year has shown what good,
careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
duce 1870 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and 1t will pro.
duce splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from so to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm.
ers have realized sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost OF
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
"The whole population Of the West
rejoices In the bounty of Providence,
and sends out message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
tion of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good
feeling is combined with spirit Of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
In so fruitful land. The misfortunes
OF the past are practically forgotten,
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts Of the present. Thanksgiving
should be season Of unusual en-.
thusiasm."

Misery.

The neighbor's dog sits out on the
front lawn and howls dismally The
man in the window looks out and
yells: "Sh-h-h, you beast!" The dog
continues to howl. The man again
comes to the window and this time
hurls a shoe at the dog. Still the
animal howls. Another shoe follows.
The next day the mans wife goes
around In her stocking feet because
she can't find her shoes. The man
hasn't the price of another pair OF
shoes for her, and the next night the
dog howls louder than ever.
