SOME RULES FOR JUDGING CORN

The man who Is about to exhibit
his best ten or forty or one hundred
ears Of corn ought to know how to
Judge it as we'll as the man who is
to pass on it at the show. That is no
easy task, because it requires great
deal of study and experience. Pro-
lessor d. G. Holden Of Iowa State
College says that there are four
fundamental questions which tho ex-
hibitor must ask himself when he Sc
lects his corn for show or seed, and
they are these:
1. Will the corn yield, will it pro-
duce, has it constitution, vigor, hardi-
ness? Among the things which 60

BEST TOYS FOR CHRISTMAS
They Should Suggest Action and Set
the Mind of the Child
at Work.

In selecting toys for the children's
Christmas, remember they should be
such as to suggest action, and bring
the Imagination into play, as it is
the child who plays, not the toy, and
imagination is the soul Of the play.
The best toys are those which set
the mind to work, and give thA little
brain scope for expansion. This is
one of the strongest recommendations
for the simpler toys. The wonderful
mechanical toys sold in the shops are
complete in themselves, and leave the
child nothing to do but to wind them
up and start them going. In this
case. it is the toy that plays, not the
child. Children soon weary Of hav-
ing nothing to do, and, losing interest
in the monotonous repetitions, the lit.
tie inqHisitive mind sets about in
vestigating the internal mechanism.
greatly to the damage of the toy,
which is soon ruined and thrown
away, while the child turns for amuse-
ment to the old toys that are so
hopelessly undone that everything
they are supposed to do must come
from the play-spirit in the child

there was no tree for them Tears
We3ied slowly into Regina's eyes and
blurred the glittering landscape.
She argued with herself that she
might have known that the New York
shops could not be relied upon to send
"a tree to the suburbs at so short a
notice, but that did not help the situa-
Gion.
Regina shrank from facing those
twelve little girls whose smiles would
vanish in childish disappointment
when they learned that the tree they
had been promised was not to be
theirs.
The tears brimmed over and fell.
Regina's vision was cleared and in
the clearing she gazed directly at the
miniature fir tree in the vacant lot
next door. A sense of keen delight
swept over Regina After all, her
children would have a tree!

of some people who had a Christmas

his great bags before the little tree.

The voices of David and Regina
trailed into silence and they only
looked at each other. Regina was the
first to speak, the mother instinct
prompting her.
Perhaps we had better waken
them now-the fires might get low"
David was silent long moment,
then he said slowly and reverently,

vacant lot
Regina's eyes were too intent on
her mission to see that a thin curl
of smoke was twisting from the chin
1eY of the bungalow that rambled in
the lot beyond the vacant one.
Regina drew near the coveted tree
and her heart expanded lovingly.
''What a little beauty" she ex-
claimed half aloud.
The little tree was of special origin
and stood not much higher than Re-
gina Over it's branches a veil Of
smoke seemed to linger. After mo-
ment spent in admiration, the girl put
down her big tub and began to clear
away the light fall of snow from about
the roots of the tree. Her cheeks
were gloriously red and the sparkle
I'm her eyes rivaled the day itself
When the snow was cleared Regina
swung the great ak into the frozen
earth The ground scarcely responded

Hey! What are you doing to that

Regina dropped her AK and gazed
an the direction of the deep, gruff

Regina picked up her ak and with
dignity swung it again.
