| their dun wits for three days, they could
not solve the riddle. We are not quite as
dull as they. At least we know that very
often sweetness issues from what at first
glance is forbidding and terrible. It Is all
a matter Of our faith and skill and cour-
age In grasping a given situation.
That this truth Is more than q fine the
DRY ! am daily being persuaded. Every
where you may behold the same circum-
stances bringing blessing to one and curs-
Ing to another. Here, for instance are
two men who work equally hard and in
the same line. For one the factory walls
represent a prison. for the other a palace.
One is driven to his task each day unwill-
Ngly finding In 1t no interest nor zest. The
other idealizes his Job, injects poetry into

physical and his moral muscle.
1t Is possible to extract sweetness from
even so bitter a thing as failure. Men
may accept failure In either one Of two
ways--as a flnaIity or as a challenge and
stimulus, When the boil weevil began to
chew up the cotton crop of the south,
some pess.inists predicted that the miser-
able little bug spelled ruin for Dixie. But
the farmers began to pillow deeper, to bring
their crops TO an earlier maturity, to cul-
tiyate q variety OF other crops besides cot
ton, until it began to appear that the
boil wecvil had been the advance agent
Of a prosperity greater than any the south
had yet known. They have thought Of
putting up a to him in some
states.
IAN things work together for good to

apostle. Under this high philosophy not
only do favored hours minister to growth
but a whole uncanny brood of troubles

rest become capable OF a better interpre-
tation than we nave often given them.
Surely 20 habit of thought Is more USE

number OF these were let loose t the
game farm and in it's vicinity.
The commission expects great things
ada geese. They breed on about the
same scale that tame geese do and
need no more attention or care. A
little clipping Of wings prevents a long
flight. 1t is doubtful If they care to
leave.
The commission undertook to feed
game birds during the recent severe
winter. The various wardens actually
located and fed 391 coveys OF quail in
found plenty Of English pheasants, in
dicating that sunners did not do so
much damage as was expected.
The commission has $50, 200 for its
game farm and game planting in 1912,
and hopes to ret the birds to set out.

Gunners are warned that under the
new law they are liable to arrest with
out warrant for shooting on any
posted land without permit from the
owner. Heretofore 1t was necessary
to get a. warrant for trespass in the
regular way. The public IN general Is
also cautioned to get familiar with
the game laws before hunting and
fishing, as state agents now go dis
guised as one Of them and can make
arrests with no visible badge of au-
thority.
Under the presidency Of Ernest
Napier, fish and game laws are every
where under rigid enforcement. The
salt water bays are patrolled and in
Vulnerable arrests are made and fines
or imprisonment imposed. Pothunters
and bay pirates, who have ever con-
sidered that the bays and woods owed
them a living are looking for new
paths for easy money. Night stealing
on private oyster beds has nearly
ceased.

the situation and that the various
ministers also realized the possible

The men at the head of the govern

accordingly. That the plans have

FARMERS UNION
HAD MEETING
Will be the Means of Bringing the
Merchants and Ranchers
Closer Together.
WHY NOT HAVE A MARKET DAY?
The Merchants Would Offer SpeciaI
Prices on that Day.

The Farmers Union which was
recently organized here, held their
first meeting, Saturday night and
S. Wells was initiated. This was
special meeting called to discuss
the ways and means of getting the
farmers together. Plans were laid
for a social and educational meet
ing to be held in the near future s sss
This is an organization that can
be a great influence for good to the
entire community. There are many
existing conditions, that could be
changed by a closer relation be-
tween the local merchant and the
farmer, One thing that could be
worked out with profits is the es-
tablishing of market or trades
day to be held each month. On that
day he could bring stock, farming
implements or other things to town
that he desired to dispose of, hich
would be auctioned to the highest
bidder. The local merchants would
undoubtedly offer special induce
ments for trade on that day.
The farmers and citizens of Ro-
salia. Wash, are enthusiastic over
the results of the first "sales day
held at that place January p, and
will make it a regular monthly
event.

Jeanette is so anxious to prove to

Jeanette has defeated all the boys
that are worth while. The fact that
he has not beer in the ring with
some of the white hopes who were
anxious to wrest the crown from
Johnson, the title holder. is because
these boys absolutely refused to get

the meantime, to show that he was

same men prepare for battles.
A more popular man than Jeanette
could not hold the little. He is praised
from one end of the world to the other
