The Lady Guaranteed Silence, and She
Made Good.
Unexpectedly an uptown pastor who
encouraged congregational singing
gained new parishioner. Keen
though his delight in hearing his peo
pie sing, there was one member OF his
flock whose endeavors he never en-
couraged. But .he man sang without
encouragement, much to the discomn-
ture of pew holders anywhere near
him, who claimed that his loud. unmu-
steal voice threw them out Of time and
tune.
Repeated complaints convinced the
minister that somebody would have to
assume the responsibility OF silencinG
the ambitious singer. He decided that
the mans wife was best fitted for the
job Owing to a difference In reli-
gious views husband and wife attend
ed different churches. but the minister
knew her, so he called and explained
his pretiicament. She was genuinely
surprised.
DO you mean to say he sings?' she
said.

She thought a minute. Il shall have

minister. But what effect will thai
have on your husbands singing?"

PrimoQonitu~.

The law Of primogeniture sends
back its roots to the most ancient
times. Away back in the patriarchal
ages the 6rst born son had a supe-
riortty over all his brethren and in the
absence Of his father was in every
important sense the head Of the house.
Upon the death OF the father he be-
came by the unwritten law. which
could not be questioned. the priest and
lord OF the family. and naturally to
him fell the property as we'll as the
honors Of the household. Primogeni-
ture wherever it Is found today is the
lingering remnant Of the ancient Gus
tom. a custom which common sense
and justice pronounce to be as unfair
as it is superstitious.-Exch

Milton Whitney, chief of bureau of

department will assist in the Indiana

This arrangement means that the
field force on the soil work next year
will be more than double. and that
some of the best biologists and soil
men of the United States bureau of
soils will be sent to Indiana. 1t means
too. that the means for conducting the

will have the benefit of the experience
and criticism Of the best men in the

ment, of course, will pay the salaries

at is my purpose to devote two
! thirds of the funds of this department
to soil next year, and I desire very
much to awaken an interest among
the farmers and business men OF Indi
ana in this great work"

~ ISAAC L. TO1TEN.

There are many farmers in Indiana
today who are raising crops on their
farms that are not best adapted to
their soil. II these farmers only knew
what crops would pay best on their
soils. and would devote their time to
the raising Of these crops, instead of
those now being raised. they would not
only increase their incomes, but they
would better conditions generally.
There are other farmers too, who,
lacking the knowledge az to what
treatment their soil will best respond,
are farming sixty acres to produce the
number OF bushels that should be pro-
duced on thirty acres.

Not only do they utilize the land
