And while turning at the end
No briars to tangle In your hair.

But she could not help herself.

And stop II this very minute,

this leads us to say that we have
come a long way on this crop, and
those of us who have picked up the
squares now see the good results of
our work, namely, getting less pune
tured squares every time we go over.
But now is the critical time. By lay
ing by now and leaving your crop
you surely turn it over to Mr.. Boil
Weevil, for when he finishes punctur-
ed squares he will start on the bolls.
Keep running your cultivators and
side harrows lightly and don't let the
sun get too hot for you to keep pick
ing up these punctured squares"
Similar advice is given by Messrs.
]. w. Ratcliff e Son, who have issued
the following:
"Our prospects, barring the boil wee
vii, were never better, and We are
told by our government agents that
the weevil has destroyed only about
twenty per cent of the squares to
date, and If we will continue picking
them and cultivating we will be sure
of fairly good crop.
1--WE know this to be a very critical
time in the fight, therefore, we urge
you to keep everything going for the
next few weeks. The recent wet spell
has given the boil weevil good start,
but with the prospects of dry weather
We insist upon you making an extra
effort to head him off by fighting to
the end. Do not stop cultivation too
SOON"

Gently, but occasionally the monotony

Teach Children to Be Competent
By Dorothy Dix

who has to make three trips to stop a
leak, or locksmith whose locks new
er catch, or housemaid who never
sweeps under the bed, or a seamstress
whose clumsy sewing we have 20 rip
out and do over again?
Competent Workers are Sought.
Heaven knows we are all glad
enough to pay the people who can
turn off a neat, workmanlike job. 1t
is a blessed rest to meet up with any
body who is competent and on whom
we can rely to do properly the thing
that he or she undertakes to do.
A great mystery is made of success.
We speak of it as of something occult,
some fetch before which we make
obeisance. Parents say darkly that
they hope and pray that their children
may be successful when they grow up,
and it never seems to occur to them
that the matter is in their own hands,
for the whole secret of success con-
sists simply in doing whatever you
do well.
Any mother can settle the question
of whether her children are going to
succeed or not by the time they are
10 years old.
The woman who teaches her little
boy to carry message straight from
the library to the kitchen without
dilly-dalling, or forgetting, or being
side-tracked by the way, has laid the
foundation for success in life for him.
He will grow up to be the kind of
man that can be depended on to carry
out an employers orders, and that is
the first step towards being able to
give orders Of his own.
The mother who teaches her little
daughter how to make her doll
clothes neatly, and to put good, honest
stitches in them that will hold, has
started her on the road to success.
That's the kind of girl that grows up
knowing how to do things to keep
house Systematically and orderly, and
to be a blessing to everybody with
whom she is thrown in contact as |
long as she lives.
Success Lies in the Child.
1t does not make any difference how
small a task child is given to do the
parents who want him to succeed in
life should take the trouble to see that
he does it properly, and not in a SLOW
only, incompetent, messy sort of
way. Even children's play should be
and they should be taught
o play game according to the rules,
o build neat block house, or a kite
hat will fly, or set dolls table as a
cal table should be set.
Because right then and there, in
hose little things, the child's habits
re being formed and the question of
is success or its failure is being set
led. / know very wonderful man,
yho against almose insuperable diff
ulties had struggled to a brilliant
uccess and have often heard him at
ribute his ability to achieve to his
ather.

Do you want your children to be
successes in life?
If you do, teach how to do some one
thing well and thoroughly, and as il
should be done, and you have secured
fame and fortune for them.
1t doesn't make particle of differ.
ence what the thing is that they do
whether it is sewing on buttons or
managing trust, people will be seek
ing their services and offering them
their own price, because man or a
woman who is capable of turning out
good, honest, reliable piece of work
is marked person in the community,
and everybody is after him or her.
The young man who gets reputa-
ton for being a competent bookkeep-
er, who is quick and accurate, never
has to walk the street looking for a
job. Employers, worn out with the
slovenly work of men whose ledgers
will never balance are out hunting for
him and offering him more money to
come to them. The dressmaker whose
gowns always fit, and whose skirts
hang digit can charge what she
pleases, and women, disheartened
with having their goods ruined, sit
humbly at her feet and importune her
to condescend to sew for them. The
cook whose meats are always done
to a turn and whose sauces have
flavor doesn't stay a cook. He he
comes a high-salaried chef.
Who are the Successful Men?
Who are the great lawyers and the
famous doctors? Simply the men who
are competent in their profession, who
have made profound studies of law
and medicine not the men who prac-
tice medicine and law by guess.
Who are the successful merchants?
Just the men who have mastered ev-
cry detail of their business, the men
who know how to buy and how to sell,
and whose customers know that they
are going to get just what they order,
delivered on time and in good condi-
lion.
The merchants who go into bank |
'uptcy are those whose stocks are i'll |
chosen, whose counters are unattrac-
i've, and who are always making mis-
axes that keep their customers in |
constant state of irritation and drive
hem to some other store, run by
Competent man.
The world is full of failures simply
because the great majority of people
ever take the trouble to learn how
o do anything properly These are
hose who do the same task over anG
yer again every day for thirty of for
Y years without ever doing it right,
nd yet these poor, laundering crea- I
lres, who stay amateurs all of their ;
yes, instead of graduating into pro-
'ssionals, complain that they are new I
r well paid! ,
The blame is on their own heads. {
hey are not worth paying. Why s
lould We pay high price to the car t

ooked shelf for us, or a plumber
