that the people desire such banks, and
am sure that when the banks are FUR

utmost good. The postal savings banks
are not constituted for the purpose OF
creating competition with other
banks. The rate of interest tlpon de-

as this adds much to the amusement.
The one outside Is then called IN

be careful to notice his or her right
hand nelghbor and then give correct
reply, For instance, supposing the
first question 70 be rs the person
thought Of boy or a grip The an

next person would then be asked the
color Of the complexion, the next one
the color Of the hair, If long or short,
etc. to which questions the answers

the right hand neighbor.
Nearly all the answers win contra.

like this may be the result: "a boy,

THE EMPEROR PENGUIN.

Queer Ways Of This Great Polar Bird

Not mRny birds undertake to lay
their eggs IN the darkness OF polar
winter. nor do nanny birds appear to
think that sea ice Is the most attrac-
tive ground to SIT on.

Edmund A. Wilson In ''The Voyage OF
the Discovery" I'VE fnd the emperor
penguin Matching cut its chicks IN the

'sThe emperor penguin stands nearly
four feet high and weighs upward OF
eighty to ninety pounds He is an ex-
ceedingly handsome bird, with a rich
black head. blush gray back and
wings. lemon yellow breast with 3
satinlike gloss on the feathers and a
brilliant patch Of orange On the neck
and lower bill.
His movements are slow and state
ly, and the dignity OF bis appearance
is much increased By the upright car

MISSION OF THE LAND.

To Produce Commodities For the serv-
ice Of Mankind.
The mission Of the land Is to pro-
duce and keep on producing food. live
stock, lumber and other commodities
for the service Of man. He who owns
land and is Indifferent to this Is guilty
OF a moral wrong. and be who takes
good land out OF commission and sur.
fers II to be unproductive and useless
Is guilty Of greater one. This Is the
only criterion by which we can prop
eriy Judge OF the right OF an Individual
to own land in large tracts.
The good results attendant upon
small individual holdings are natural.
The purposes OF nature IN the upward
evolHtion OF man are usually better
carried ont in this way. and not be-
cause as is so frequently argued,
every man has an inherent right TO It's
ownership. The lazy. the incapable
and the denseIy ignorant assuredly
have no such right. and land is too
precious and its mission too high to be
thus wasted.

Formerly washday was time Of sick
