Owners of Land Will Endeav0r TO
Secure Closer Cooperation, Fuller
Development of Farmers and Mu-
tual Protection.

With the purpose of creating a
closer cooperation among land men
and with the object of carrying out
several broad guage ideas which con-
template further encouragement OF
farm development with organized pro-
lection for farm land purchasers, the
National Association of Land Men
has been organized in Chicago and
it's officers are to extend their cam
paign for support to land men
throughout the entire country.
James Porter, Reinbeck, Ia, has
been chosen for president of the, new
association, and the other officers in
clude D. H. Anderson, proprietor of
Irrigation Age, Chicago; d. j.
Splane, A. B. Hulit and S. B. Pugh.
The directors, including the officers,
are F. E. Goodall, Spokane, Wash;

In its papers of Incorporation the
association sets forth that it has six
initial purposes in view. First OF
, these is the procuring through the
organization of the support of the
press of the country and of public

! idea of having the government,

department of agriculture, assume
| charge of the inspection and marking
of all fruits and vegetables which are
intended for commercial purposes,
the object of this inspection being to
prevent alleged dishonesty in re-
marking or regarding products from
the various states.
To License Real Estate Dealers.
The association will seek through
state legislatures to have enacted a
statute requiring all real estate deal
ers to procure a state license before
they can transact business, with a
provision in the law that if any oper-
ator having such a license is found
guilty at any time of fraudulent real
estate transactions his license shall be
revoked and the privilege of procur.

she loses heart, voicing her fears in
warnings and examples. Lack of in
itiative is one of the prime factors
holding her back in her progress both
as wage Garner and a home maker
She is afraid to try because she may
fail, forgetful of the fact that the
chances for success are equally bright.
There are mothers who are anxious
to teach their daughters how to cook
and do plain sewing. They purchase
material, buy pattern and explain
the rudiments of the making. Then,
because the first effort fails, they take
it for granted sewing is not one of
the accomplishments to be achieved
by the daughter, when, in truth, she
might, with very little experience,
develop into a neat little needle
woman. By the same token mothers
who learned to cook in the valuable
school of experience will "shoo" their
daughters out of the kitchen on the
strength of soggy pan of biscuits or
tasteless, fallen cake. There is a
knack to cooking that no amount of
instruction can convey, fact many
mothers are apt to totally ignore.
Wives often discourage their hus-
bands by citing past failures in bust
ness endeavor. Nothing SO dampens
the ardor and ambition of man as
to be brought face to face with the
skeletons of his own failures. He
loses hope, and we all know that hope
is half of the battle of life. Calm use
less fears! Send the worker forth
into the field with positive, deter
mined attitude and his chances of
success are multiplied.
Above all, do not be guided by your
own failures. Looking behind is a
poor policy, leading to vain regrets,
beginning nowhere and ending in the
same place. 1t means the loss of
much valuable time that could be used
to advantage in travelling the untrod-
den way Remember, now" and Il
told you so" are two phrases to be
eliminated from the vocabulary of the
tactful woman. Pleasant places are
often reached through paths of arid
wastes scattered with the debris of
experience.

THE DOG AND THE CRANE.

Once a poor crane was caught in a
net, and could not get out. She fut-
tered and tapped her wings, but it
was of no use, she was held fast.
oh she cried, what will become
OF me if cannot break this net? The
hunter will come and kill me, or else ]
shall die of hunger, and, if die, who
will care for my poor little ones in
the nest? They must perish also, II
| do not come back and feed them"
Now. Trusty was in the next field,
and heard the poor cranes cries. He
jumped over the fence, and Selling the
net in his teeth, quickly tore it to
pieces. "There!" he said. "Now fly
back to your young ones, ma'am, and
good luck to you ALL
The crane thanked him a thousand
times. Il wish all dogs were like you!'

thing to help you, as you have helped

COLOR YOUR OWN PICTURES.

Some of our amateur photographers
may be interested in learning an easy
way of coloring photograph nicely
without having first taken lessons in
drawing or painting. This is the
method: After you have printed
your photograph, and before you
mount it on cardboard, hold it against
the window, placing the picture side
toward the glass; then sketch clearly
on the back of the picture the out
lines of the parts to be colored.
When this is completed place the
picture side of the photograph against
blotter and apply the desired col
ors to the back of the picture, keep
ing within the sketched outlines.
Then prepare a mixture consisting of
ten parts benzine and one part vase
line, and pour this over the photo
graph, rubbing it thoroughly into the
paper with the finger. Do this both
on the face and back of the picture.
After the picture has become trans
parent through this process let it
stand for an hour or two, then dry
it with a cloth and mount it on card
board.

had thought to send flower to a
sick friend, but decided, Tomorrow

was laid on a cold, still form.
Because of busy, happy work I neg
lected for a month writing to a dear
friend far away. The tardy missive
brought answer: DEAR One-Your
letter is comfort to me. 1 have
waited for it through a month of
heavy trial. I know you would have
written sooner if you could, or had
you known the comfort your words
would be-"
Two friends misunderstood each
other. I knew the truth that would
make each happy. "Soon," I thought.

will clear the skies" The events of a
day separated us all forever, and the
little wrong was not made right.

it for Him! And if there is a word
to be spoken, flower to be sent, God
help me to do it now!

FRANkNESS.

Be frank with the world. Frank
ness is the child of honesty and cour-
age. Say just what you mean to do
on every occasion and. take it for
granted that you mean to do just what
is right. If friend asks you favor,
you should grant it if it is reasonable;
if it is not, tell him plainly why you
can not.
You will wrong him and wrong
yourself by equivocation of any kind.
Never do wrong thing to make a
friend or keep one; the man who re-
quires you to do SO is dearly pur-
chased at a sacrifice Deal kindly and
firmly with all men and you will find
it the policy which wears best. Above
all. do not appear to others what you
are not. If you have any fault to find
with anyone, tell him, not others, of
what you complain. There is no more
dangerous experiment than that of un-
dertaking to do one thing to a mans
face and another behind his back. We
should live, act and speak out of
doors, as the phrase is, and say and do
what we are willing should be known
and read by all men. 1t is not only
best as a matter of principle. but a
matter of policy.

ONE WAY OF WINNING SUCCESS

The habit of judging present inten-
lions by past mistakes is one of the
blights to success largely practiced
by women. Having experienced or
witnessed one unhappy ending to en-
deavor, woman is prone to tread with
wary feet or even to make no incur
sion into uncertain fields.
1t is a well known fact that women
are very bad losers. A case is re-
corded recently wherein woman who
played wonderful hand at bridge,
winning consistently, suddenly expe-
rienced a run of bad luck. Now every
card player knows that this is but one
of the little whims concocted by for
tune to make play more interesting
The woman could not see fortunes
frown in that light. Instead of laugh
ing in the face of luck and going in
to show what slender chance for
tune really had against skill, she went
to her home and took the revolver
route out of her financial embarass-
ments.
Equally peculiar in the aspect of
reason is the fact that in the big is
sues of life women are undaunted
by any Heterogeneous, even though
they are seemingly colossal in import.
Yet at the first sign of petty failure

WHAT MAKES LIFE CHRISTIAN.

A Father of the Desert was one day
asked in vision whether he would de-
sire to see soul more perfect than
himself. He was carried to poor
home, where he saw a mother toiling
for her children. It was an humble
likeness of the holy house; and under
that roof were cares, anxieties, wearl-
ness, privations, self-denials, glad sub
mission of will, tenderness of affec-
ton, pity and service, and f1lial piety
to God These things are discipline
of perfection, which subdue the heart
and keep it humble before God and
man. 1t is by living in our plain path
of duty, but with an habitual remem-
brance of the coming of our Lord: by
food, not so much from choice as from
necessity, and yet with no unthankful
sullenness, but with gladness and
singleness of heart; by being ever
ready both for the duties of the day,
and for the coming hour of judgment;
by this twofold discipline of self true
Christian is so prepared that the day
of Christ can neither come too late
nor too soon for him. Our everyday
life abounds in manifold opportunities
of self-discipline; we shall find them
in the hours of prayer, in the practice
of charity, in aims deeds, in fasting, in
abstinence, abstaining from lawful
and, to ourselves, expedient things for
others sake, in curbing our pleasure,
in bearing SANDER, in forgiving in
juries, in obeying our superiors, in
yielding to our equals, in giving up our
liberty for the good of others, in
crossing the daily intentions of our
will. What is it that keeps us per-
petually straining, and moiling, and
wearing ourselves away, but some de.
sire which is not chastened
