Bob Burdette to Young Men.

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick
or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of
books, dig bitches or edit a paper,
ring an auction bell or write funny
things, you must work. If you look
around you will see men who are
the most able to live the rest Of
their days without work are the
meu who work the hardest.
Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork. 1t is beyond your
power to do that on the sunny side
of thirty. They die sometimes, but
it is because they quit work at 6
p. m. and don't get home until 2 a.
m. 1t is intervals that kill, my son.
The work gives you an appetite
for your meals; it lends solidity to
your Slumbers; it gives you perfect
and grateful appreciation of holt
day.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not know their
names even, it simply speaks of
them as old So and Sos boys"
Nobody likes them; the great busy
world doesn't know that they are
there. So find out what you want
to be and do, and take off your coat
and make dust in the world.
The buster you are the less harm
you are apt to get into, the sweeter
viii be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the bet
ter satisfied the world viii be with
you.

Nations Coal Productions.

The United States Geological
Survey has issued its annual coal
chart, showing the production of
coal by States from the year 1914
to 1910. The figures relate a won
derful history of growth. In 1914
a total of % tons of coal was pro-
duced in Pennsylvania. In 1915
the percentage of increase was good
but still only so tons were taken
out. By 1925 over 100000 tons
were mined in the two States pro-
ducing. In 1850 the figure had
reached 7,018.181 tons In 1875 it
was 53.280,000 tons. AT the end of
the century it was 269. 684,027 tons.
In 1905 it was 392. 722.635 tons. In
1907, which it was supposed would
remain the record year for some
time, the production was 480.38S.-
424 tons, but in 1910 the enormous

The Orchard.

Who would think that the apple tree
So barren. awkward and bare,
Would ever don its living blooms
And become most wondrous fair?
Would think that birds could ever
hide
Brown nests that none could see
Beneath its robes of green and pink?
Yet it will not fail to be.
Rubbish and brush in the orchard
YETI Gather and burn at once and
thus destroy harboring places of in
sect, fungi and other pests.
Too many trees of one variety
alongside one another is not the
best way to plant them. Mix them
up then they will polenize one an
another better and give you choicer
fruit and more of it.
Pick off, and burn, all "mummied"
fruits on peach, plum or other trees,
thus destroying the spores of brown
rot and other fungous diseases
which winter over on these dried
up specimens.
/ The only successful way to fight
fungous troubles in the orchard is
to begin early, before the disease
appears. Remember that fungici-
dial sprays are representatives., not
cures.
The toad is the gardeners friend.
! When you don't know just what
to do, 90 in and have a good talk
with your wife.
The mountain of work before you
can all be worked off if you just
keep CHEEKY heart and peg away.
A man with large family can
live better on the farm, where mon

ject that is suddenly sprung on you.

Mrs. Miriam Henriques Hanmerstein

She said she saw only a remote chance

is that Able has another and previous
wife, and the other is that she cannot
find him.
