If modern psychology has revealed any one thing 1t is the tremendous power of the human will If you greatly desire to be or do and try, if you keep on desiring and trying, you will be what you want to be-do what you want to do.
 Darwin tells us that at first the eagle could not fly. but it wanted to fly and tried to fly. It kept on. through generations of eagles, desiring and trying to fly.
 Finally, through the processes of evolution, came the day when. the first eagle scared into the emyprea.
 So of the human mind.
 Strong desire and continued trial. q never failing belief in oneself and The result must follow.
 You love your little girl?
 or course you do, else you would not be a mother, and it verges on imperti- hence to make the inquiry.
 Taking that for granted, then, you will not object to a few plain words from a man old enough to be your girls father, will you?
 Of course you know as well as do the importance of maintaining confidential relations with your daughter.
 But what I want to speak to you about specifically is this
 You should impress it upon your daugh- ter that the man who asks her to keep anything from her mother is to be re- garded with grave suspicion.
 Make her realize that the fact itself of proposing to her to keep her family in ig- norance of his intentions is prima facie evidence that such mans purposes are not honorable to her.
 Explain to her that such proposal is an insult.
 Many an innocent girl runs tremen- dous risk because the romance of secrecy appeals to her. She feels complimented by being asked to share in a covert love

 w ly meant to establish what strategists call "a base of operations" A point of departure was a necessity; and there were many end obvious req sons for the selecting of the city of Jeru- salem as the point. But the same text, which is so frequently and properly quoted in behalf of home missions, is just as valid authority for foreign mis- sions, The filth verse of the 24th chapter of Lukes gospel is decisive on this point. The text reads thus: And that re- pentance and remission of sins should be preached in His (Christ's) name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem" No directions could be clearer, and none more comprehensive.
 In none of our Lords directions do we find the slightest hint that Christianity was to wait upon what we call 'civiliza- tion;" nor does anything in that mission ary azine--the Acts of the Apostles give the least color to such a view. We are sometimes told by MT. Worldly wise-man 'that 1t Is folly to attempt to evangelise bsrbarians- that we must first

 great story how Jean Valjean 0 stopped down in the mud and with his great strength lifted the heavy wagon out of the mud?
 Many a father does that.
 He is stooping down to lift his children up out of the mud into better conditions. Perhaps he was denied educational ad- yantages when he was boy. Perhaps he was forced to quit school at an early age and go to work.
 All his life he has felt the lack of schooling. He has come up through great tribulation. having graduated in the University of Hark Knocks.
 But his children!
 It has been the dream of his life to give his kiddyeens the chance that was denied him. Watch his face when the children bring home good report cards from the teacher.
 And if in his brood is one who shows the desire to go through college the father will nut his willing shoulders under the burden of expense.
 He will rob himself of sleep to think of ways and means, put up with snort dinners and shabby clothes and give his very flesh and blood in cheerful sacrifice. All over the country fathers are doing that
 It is pitiful to think that some of them may be disappointed in the out come.
 Nothing is moro pathetic than the spectacle of a son or daughter who has been educated because father has stooped down in the mud falling in ap- preciation or recognition of that fathers devotion.
 How sharper than serpenrs tootn fl ,s to have thankless child.'
 The meanest man or woman is that one who, profting by fathers lifelong apne- gation, is ashamed of the grand old man.
 Have YOU not seen educated daughters who affected to be greatly embarrassed at fathers homely ways or lapses Tn speech or because he drank his conee out of his saucer?
 Shame! Lacking in true refinement, to say nothing of common gratitude, such a child has never been educated at all. On the other hand
 There are children who realize the moral nobility of father who will go down into the very muck and mire to life them on his shoulders. They are proud of father anywhere and keenly resent any lack of respect shown to him.
 These be jewels in the crown of fatherhood.
 All of us dream.
 But not all of us go out to make our dreams come true.

affair. What possible harm can come of it?
 But once caught in an entanglement of this sort, there is no telling where the matter may stop. And clandestine meet ings spell ruin for your girl.
 Girls who work for living are in espe- cial danger, oftentimes-it seems sad to say it--from their employers If your daughter is employed by some man who makes a suggestion of secret relations she ought to know that it is better to lose her job than her character. Jobs may be duplicated, reputation never.
 Your girl ought to know, for instance, that when a married man crosses the line of common courtesy or polite require ment she must beware of him.
 It is not necessary to teach your child that all men are ravening wolves or hu- man hyenas. That would be untrue, but
 She must know, if she is to be safe from harm, that any man who gives any sort of reason for not wishing her par ents to know about his alleged regard is dangerous.
 If he really cares for your daughter he will not object to publicity; if he really loves her he will want the world to know it.
 These are plain words. And the advice may be considered trite. But have seen the dark waters close over many girl in her teens because her mother failed of her duty.
 And if I may save one girl from heart ache or rueful lament or ruin itself by these suggestions it will have been worth while.

 There was but one way for the roads to get out of the clutches of the trusts and that was to pool their earnings. They had a bill in Congress to that end, and you ought to have heard the howl that vent up. Ii would have put stop to the rebate and put every shipper on an equal fly. It would have crippled every trust enjoying rebates. Of course the trusts said nothing. but let the octopus chaser alone ard they killed the bill and thus added other tens of millions to the cof-

BUSINESS FIRMs-eELATEp
NOTES OF SHOW.

The exhibit hall certaialy shaned
fcnors with the live stock as the
feature of the fair. The central
part was taken up with fine dis
plays by business houses, factories,
etc.
The Enterprise Creamery had a
Inc showing Of its celebrated pure
creamery butter in various stages OF
manufacture. There were also De
Laval separators of which MIR. BiclK-
p ford Is the agent. A striking feat
uTe of this exhibit were IL or Is
checks paid to patrons of the
creamery during July. The checks
were nicely framed and underneath
each was signed statement of the
patron telling the number of cows
that produced the money.
The E. NJ. & NJ. company had
fine exhibit OF all the various pro-
ducts OF their mill-the many brands
of flour making an impccing exhibit.
Near by was case showing the
bread made from the flour.
The sugar factory had neat ex-
hibit of beets raised in this county
and glass jars showing sugar in the
various stages of manufacture.
Fred Ashley had a beautiful ex-
hibit of his furniture, carpets, house
furnishings, sewing machines and or
gans.
Jackson & Weaver had an attrac-
tive exhibit at the north end of
monographs and typewriters. G. !.
Ratchff had a splendid showing from
his big furniture store.
The fruits, vege -ables, grains and
grasses and other products of the
farm were arranged by sections, and
everyone of the seven in which the
county was divided, made a fine
showing. Lucky it was that no local
judges we're called upon to decide
the relative merits. Where all were

the blue ribbon. Space will not
permit individual mention.
The show of fancy articles, bread,
cakes, preserves, paintings, fine
needlework, was unquestionably the
largest and best ever grouped at one
time in this county.
