God hath ordained that work alone
brings peace--F4iilis
If can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one faintfng robin
Unto his nest again,

True goodness is like the glow-worm
in this that it shines most when no
ewes except those of heaven are upon
it.-Hare.
The men who stand straightest in
the presence of sin bow lowest in the

Learn that to love is the one way to

That maketh man to know the inner
life
Of them that love him; his own love
Shall do it.

Efficiency in ehoveIing.

For the arst class shoveler there is a
given shovel Ioad at which he will do
his biggest days work. What is this
shovel load? VIII a first class man
do more work per day with a shovel
load of 5, 10. Is, 20, 25, 80 or 40
pounds? Now, this is a question which
can be answered only through care
fully made experiments. BY first Sc
lecting two or three first-class shovel
ers, paying them extra wages for do
ing trustworthy work, and then grad
ually varying the shovel load and hav-
ing all the conditions accompanying
the work carefully observed for sew
eral weeks at a time by men who are
used to experimenting, it was found
that a first class man would do his
biggest days work with a shovel load
of about Fl pounds. For instance,
that this man would shovel a larger
tonnage per day with a 81 pound load
than with a 24-pound load or with an
1S-pound load on his shovel. It is, Of
course evident that no shove1er can
always take a load of exactly 81
pounds on his shovel, but neverthe-
less, although his load may vary three
or four pounds one way or the other,
either below or above the Fl pounds,
the shoveler will do his biggest days
work when his average for the day is
about Fl pounds.-American Magazine.

USE ONLY.BEST SEED CORN
Soon as Crop Is Mature Farmer Should
Select Most Vigorous Ears for
Next Seasons Planting.
(By q. H. ALFORD.)

Twelve to fifteen good ears of corn
will plant an acre. Can we afford not
to select the necessary ears to plant
the 1912 crop In the field this fall?
Certainly not. Let us go into the field
as soon as the corn IS fully mature.
and select well-matured ears from thA
most vigorous stalks, strip off the
shucks, tie them into strings of If
teen. to twenty ears each and hang
them in the attic at once where the
circulation Of air is good and where
the rats will do no damage
Write to the secretary of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., for bulletins
on the selection of seed corn at once
and be sure to select a sufic num-
Der of ears in the field this fall to
plant ten times the required acreage.
Next spring the best ears may be Sc
lected from the number saved this
fall. The seed corn can be selected
in the field in the fall in less tine
than is required to select 1t In the
crib in the spring. The careful selec-
ton in the field will often add 20
per cent. to the yield.

day he is universally regarded as one

1902. only seven years before becom-
Ing premier, and it was really the

Of what would have happened two

Turkey. Whereas men used to have

words of Liberty, "Justtce!".

now cry them aloud and placard them

Ottoman nOr foreigner could travel

Some Marvellous Transformations.
No organizations were permitted
under the old regime. Today clubs,
societies and parties flourish. Spies
are but a hideous memory. Even
schools for women are permitted and
encouraged. Turkish officials send
their daughters to the schools Of mod
ern learning maintained by the fr-
eigners.

Liberty, long dreamed of. and often

to a throne on the Bosphorus where
two continents and two seas meet.
Constantinople is admittedly the
most strategic city IN the world. So
1t was no small event when 1t fell be-
