NOW LAY taE DOWN TO SLEEP.

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere,
While, like winged spirits, here and
there
The freight shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes, Now lay me down to sleep"
And somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ear,
My thoughts go back to distant years
And finger with loved one there,
And as hear the childs Amen,
My mothers faith comes back to me;
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hand again.
O, for an hour in that dear place!

The sharp spines on the leaves arc

Identification. The Canada thistle ia
a perennial weed with deep root stalks
which spread rapidly in all directions.
The stems are erect and from two to
four feet high. The leaves are deeply
notched, armed with numerous sharp
spines and somewhat downy on the
under side. The blossoms are small
and vary in color from pale purple 10
nearly white.
Method of Spreading. This thistle
spreads by seeds and from the root
stocks. The seeds are carried in grass
and clover seeds and seed grain, by
the wind and by farm machinery. The
root stocks are dragged about the
fields by farm implements and new
spots often infected from this source.
Eradication. When fields are only
slightly infested with thistles they
may be destroyed by cutting the plants
off with a spade deeply beneath the
surface of the ground every time they
appear. This requires constant watch.

time with good cultivation eradicate

clover should be heavily seeded and

ADVERTISING. TALKS,
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.

This is good time to refer TO
the VALUE OF ADVERTIS-
ING as a means Of ELECTING
CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC
OFFICE.
Political organizations waste a
lot OF money. Putting up on ban
ners the pictures of the candidates
is fne-if they are good pictures.
1t gives the people an opportu-
nifty to Judge the character Of the
candidates. Picture reading is al
ways interesting.
PlacArdS in windows posters
on billboards-cards in street
cars-are also fine. They all help
to make known the candidates.
But | submit that instead of
parades and brass bands and hir-
ing halls and employing speakers
the more sensible thing to do is
TO take that money and BUY
PUBLICITY IN THE DAILY
NEWSPAPERS.
Political news is interesting, of
course. and newspapers print it
because il is interesting, but. after
all, it reflects the views of men
who take an interest in politics,
and their views are so numerous
that the reader has a hard time of
1t making up his mind for whom
to vote.
Suppose tie political organiza-
tons were 70 buy space in the
