fact that his contracts for the new
crop are smaller than ever. Whatever

News,

No man is called upon to read any
thing more in a newspaper than he
likes. If he does not wish to spend
time on a speech, he can get the trend
of it in the headlines and Introduction:
If he roes not care for the detailed
account of any event or happening,
the headlines will give him the gist
of them. But other readers may want
the details or the speech in full. Even
the new New York paper will find it
necessary to print matter that in
terests one class of readers and does
not interest others. A paper must
meet the needs of many classes OF
diverse tastes and in spite of what
outside critics say and in spite of
newspaper faults and shortcomings, Of
which no one is better aware than
newspaper men, the press as it now
exists has worked out a very fair and
satisfactory system Of news selection
and news presentation. 1t may be
that there is a place for the more con-
centrated system planned, but that
remains to be seen.
As for the miscellaneous features.
the papers now give much attention to
them. Notwithstanding the pressure
of strictly news features, art, litera-
ture. religion. education. the drama.
etc, are far from being neglected. Per
haps the new venture will supply d
want that the others have failed to
meet but fl is not quite clear what
this is. The experiment at least will
be worth watching.-Indianap Star.

Did you read that beautiful little
sketch about the busy author who ask
ed Does baby pay for itself?" He
was trying to get off something great
and profitable when baby raped at his
door For a long time he grunted and
groaned to himself about children be-
ing a nuisance and a. great trial Then
baby said Il Tub my papa; Whereupon
he let her in and, with her soft little
cheek against his face. decided that a
baby does pay for itself.
But, doesn't baby pay best of all?
In all your driving of nails, or keep
ing of accounts, running of the store,
or the Office or the factory, or strug
Cling to get ahead in whatever your
vocation in life may be. do the grown
ups ever give you one iota of the con-
fidence shown in you by that BLESSED
your sweetheart, or in your associa-
ton with your wife, or III your rub
bing up against the world in general,
did you ever possess a love half SO in
nocent and unselhsh as baby's?
When you're down, when money in
vestments have gone wrong, or the
daily grind has wrecked your nerves
when life seems all struggle, all work
all worry, and the things possible to
secure hardly worth the life consum-
ing effort, what pays best of all youI
possessions?
Why, you get home "all in" Even
the good wife's cheer often fails to
make You feel that you can come
back" You sit down to agonize over
the labors and failures of the day and
to hopelessly worry about the coming
same old grind of tomorrow.
There comes the patter of little slip
per heels like big spring rain drops on
a dusty country roadway. Something
soft, clinging, climbing gets between
your tired arms. A breath like that
froYa newly mown hay sweeps your
face. The moist, sweet doors of an
innocent childs soul eagerly press
your lips and with Il lub my papa
heavens own sunlight lights up, bless
es all the waste, gloomy places in. your
heart.
Confidence, innocent love, trust,
courage. determination to live right
are the coin in which baby pays for
itself 1t cannot be counterfeited.

THE CORN GROWING BOYS OF
THE SOUTH.

The corn raising competition fos-
tered by the agricultural department
of the government, at the south, has
resulted in showing that the youth of
the southland are skilful farmers
when there is any specially or reward
to call forth all the ability there is in
them Last year the boys in the Car
olinas carried off the corn prize but
This year the winner is Il Louisiana
boy who has wrested from Cennecti-
cut the honor of having grown the
largest number of bushels from an
acre of land.
Here are the figures, of first prize
only, in Louisiana parishes:
Livingston, 1888 bushels from one
acre; Claiborne, 12013 bushels from
one acre; East Baton Rouge, 1854.
These of course all raised by boys.
The seed was furnished free, and all
IVES acclimated Louisiana seed.
Their operating cost must figure in
fertilizer, rent, their own time at 10
cents an hour. a single horse at cents
an hour, and all other items of cost.
They are frequently limited to s23 an
acre in crop cost, including their own
| time; so that on a SIS acre this would
represent a net profit of $52.
This must be admitted to very in
tensive farming for boys in their teens.

Blessed and juicy bird monarch Of

the Thanksgiving festival, are you
really with us again? Has another
cycle Of months run its course and are
you lingering just beyond the kitchen
door, savOrg and brown, to be put be-
fore US a moment hence?
We pause before We put our teeth
into your plump sides and allow our
palates to be tickled with the tender
fihars of flesh detached from your
drumsticFs and backbone. For we see
in your gracious fowl, the symbol of
all the harvestings from Maine to Cal
ifornia of this bounteous year. You
and your mates have grown fat upon
the corn and meal from thousands of
fields, and beautiful though You are,
YOU are but one of the many products
of the rain and sunshine, of mans
patient toll and Gods unfailing good
ness, by virtue Of which seedtime and
harvest have never failed US. And
even though our mouths are watering
we will restrain ourselves long enough
to give thanks to the God of the har-
vests for you and for what you repre-
sent Of accumulated goods and nation
al wealth.
But we see in you, ordiy bird, some
thing more than the quintessence of
material blessings. You are associated
with all the dearest nome festivals OF
our life, with feastS in the long ago
in the old farmhouse where beloved
friends sat down with us whom we
have loved long since and lost awhile
You remind US, too, of the jolly re-
unions of school and college days when
we brought our chuns home to receive
from the "old folks" a welcome hard
ly less hearty than that bestowed upon
us returning sons and daughters of the
household. There you were in the midst
of US while the joke and song and
story ran around the table and we roll
licked and even rioted between the
courses.
And though the circle may be mar
rover today and we have pitched our
tent far from the ancestral homestead
and have established for ourselves and
our children new homes in new sur
roundings you are still one of the links
that bind our beautiful past to the
golden present, and we iningle with our
tears and love for that which is gone
our deep gratitude for what vet re-
mains, for the unspaallahly precious
Joys of our own fireeides, the still affd-
ing satisfactions of family life. the
deep and exhaustless fountains of
