By. GEORGE F. BUTLER, A. M. M. D.

We are ever making ourselves
over by our thoughts and deeds.
We can make every action of
our life, every thought Of our
mind effectuaI If we will. We
must devote a good deal Of
thought to the ought-to-be, the
shalI.be, and remember, S,at as
we think, as we work, so shall
be the result.
Look UP, not down. Think
not of yourself, but Of others.
Gather up your scattered forces
and direct them toward chosen
ideal.
Learn to master yourself.
You may not be able to do what
some other men do, but you car
make your life successful II you
have the genius of self-control.
Rouse in yourself an unconquer-
able will. Do not for moment
acknowledge defeat. Have no
expectation but Of the day when
you will be free from all in
firmities, all weaknesses, all
doubts. Gather confidence from
your impotence. No lack in all
the universe, but there Is sup
ply. Hold firmly to the convic-
tion that you possess the quail
tiles requioite to success. Say
Of nothing that II Is beneath
you nor feel that anything is be-
You'd your powers.

two matters were questions on which
there could be reasonable differences
of opinion. These he mentioned as:

EDUCATIONAL.
BY G. w. MEISNEST

Inc attention OF tne members OF the
Manitowoc County Order of the Wis
consin Experiment Association is call
ed to the excellent list of premiums
offered by the County Fair ASsocia-
ton. The Association has been speci-
ally favored this year by being allow
ed a subdivision of its own under
"Grain". In this list three premiums
are offered on most of the products,
ranging from $500 for first premium
to SlO0 and 50 cents for second and
third premiums.
Although the Manitowoc Order has
no special list for cattle, hogs and
horses, the general premiums offered
are so liberal that every member
ought to take, advantage of them and
contribute freely toward these depart
ments. The benefits derived from eX
hibition at County Fairs are at least
three. First, The Premium itself,
which is an immediate benefit to the
exhibitor. Second, the advertising
received from such an exhibition.
Third, the social side which permits
you to meet people you have not met
for several years perhaps.
Should you have pure bred cattle,
swine, or seeds, the County Fair is the
place to let the people know of your
products. Several farmers last year
received orders eight months in adj
vance for pure bred berkshire hogs,
others sold from % to l25 bushels of
pure bred seeds to different people
who they met at the fair.
Every member should plan now
what he expects to enter at the Fair.
The Association will be given special
place in the new large Exposition
Building" for the grains and it should
make creditable display. Enter
your products early and help us attend
to the arrangement of the exhibit.
TO those who are not members Of
the Manitowoc County Order Of the
Wisconsin experiment association
there is ample opportunity to enter
their products. The premiums ought
to attract the people with the products.
| Parents and teachers should encourage
children to enter products in the
school children's garden contest. 1t
requires but little extra effort on the
part of the parents to allow their
children to do this, and it means so
much to the children. What pride a
child will take in his little piece of
ground which he has cultivated during
the year, if he can say 81 raised so
much of this and so much of that, or

this little patch,' or ION this and that

! II years of age who was inclined to be
a worthless character. His father
actually gave him complete possession
as tar as the law allowed of ten acre
piece of land. This patch was his for
all purposes, The young man worked
his land together with his fathers
remained at home more to do the
work, and in general became an all
around good fellow, Just the right
kind Of an incentive at the right time
is all that is necessary and often does
more than any kind of chastisc-
ment. There will be no entry fee for
exhibit charged in the school work,
and school children's garden contest.

RS an interesting innovation on the
past policy of the United States.
Coming at a time when America
is endeavoring to solve the difficult

served to direct notice to the general
position Of the United States in. world

The Berlin Tageblatt regards the
measures contemplated in Liberia as
equivalent to the erection Of a pro-

France appears to be inclined to
feel little hurt following the pub.
