The man who persists in talking
disparingly Of the community in which
he lives and never sees anything good
in his neighbors, should be reminded
that there is always a way for such
as he to get out OF that locality and
make room for a more desirable citi-
zen to take his place. The town or
community that affords man an OPP
portunity to make his living, makes
him not only an migrate but a fool to
attempt to pull down upon his own
head the structure which in a slightest
measure shelters him. If it does not
suit him, he can move, if not to his
own benefit at least to those who must
be annoyed by his knocking. A
prominent Southern writer has Just
coined the expression, Get together
and stay together or get out, and this
aptly applies to one here and there all
over the country. Fortunate indeed is
is that locality which has not some one
who ought to choose the last two words
in the new sentence as his own trade
mark.

fact one came for each week in the

widow had spent $1.04 In her efforts to
obtain dollar from me. l thought
such persistency deserved an answer
OF some sort, and so wrote her:
"'All your letters received. send

LAYING AGE Of Hens.

According to Thomas |, Mairs Of
Pennsylvania, hens over two years Of
age are seldom good layers. Leghorns,
Minorcas, etc., are sometimes good
during the third and fourth years, but
generally speaking the Plymouth
Rocks and such fowls are of little or
no use as layers after their second
year; being much inclined to become
excessively fat. For summer egg pro-
duction the lighter breeds and later
Matched pullets of the heavier breeds
are best. A hen that has laid well all
winter should not be expected to lay
exceptionally well during the summer.

Demand for Professional Mourner.


The professional mourner who can
be hired in many European cities to
follow in the funeral procession and
look grief-stricken is usually secured
through burial societies. These furn-
ish men and women. and sometimes
both, dressed in keeping with the de.
sire Of the family Of the late lamented.
They also weep to order At homes
where self control is deemed virtue
there Is no loud demonstration or sor-
row, but where the real mourners are
emotional and give way to weeping
they are usually outdone by the pro-
fessionals. An undertaken in Della
ware furnished mourners several times
recently, and the experiment was so
successful, the stricken families were
so well pleased with the manner in
which the mourning parties had been
augmented, that the funeral director
has determined to enter the profess
sional mourner's business with hopes
for success.

No matter what you think will be
the ruling price of cotton this fall, it is
a capital idea to also think what will
be the ruling price Of corn and meat
at about the same time, and if it takes
all your cotton money to pay tor the
meat and corn you will need to make
another crop, you will be right where
you are now year hence. Better pre-
pare to save that investment for the
things you use and those who, must
have the cotton in the bale will be
more anxious about you. The cotton
you can raise always. but the things
you use at home are too often brought
to you in. cars that it costs heap Of
money to make roll over the rails
Some day more people will get this
idea down right

AM Grain DIET.

A diet of all grains is the most ex-
pensive which can be fed. Green food
will not only reduce the cost Of feed,
but win also keep the chickens in
health. At least third Of the winter
ration should consist Of green food Of
some kind. Litter in the hen house
is Of little use II there is nothing IN
1t to reward the hens for the trouble.
A hen won't scratch for the fun Of
it. A light grain feed, at noon and an
early afternoon feed Of cracked corn
win keep them busy and happy most
Of the day.

DEGREES TIE PERPETUAL GRIN.
Writer Takes Icsue with Man Who
Says keep a-SmiIing."

A favorite motto with many people
in these latter days, when the whole
some gospel Of cneerfulness is being
preached so extensively is, Keep a.
smiling 1t is a very good motto
within limitations. In so far as its
adoption as rule CT conduct prevents
the wearing of lugubrious counte-
nance when no overwhelming grief or
calamity is being endured or is i'm
pending, in so far as it overcomes the
tendency to look on the dark side and
anticipate evil, in SO far as it enables
sne to look for the best in all situa-
tons and to keep up his courage when
troubles threaten-in all these re-
spects it is maxim worthy Of COM
mendation.
But 1t should not be interpreted toe
literally; its spirit rather than its let
ter should be observed. Its spirit
means a persistent hopefulness, re-
fusal to be cast down by discouragins
or unfavorable circumstances, q sturdy
defiance of adverse fate. Its literal
observance may include these things,
but 1t means also perpetual grin, and
q perpetual grin leads to thoughts OF
crime on the part Of beholders. No
one becomes 80 irritating or has such
4 maddening effect upon sensitive as
sociates as the man or woman who
wears the smile that never comes
