Your letter is too long to print in
detail, but l must say 1t is almost
impossible for me to believe that
young people can be so rude as to
talk about you and make you uncom-
Portable even when in Sunday school.
Don't you suppose that you imagine a
good deal and II you are not well every
thing seems so much worse. The only
remedy / know is to try to forget
yourself and think what you can do
for others. There is room for every
one in this world and something for
each one of us to do. Brooding over
our own ills is Just the worst thing
possible, for nothing is ever so bad
but it might be worse.

FARMING LIKE BANKING.

The plant food in the soil is
much like a bank account which
is subject to a draft. So long as
there is n surplus 1t can be with
drawn and converted into plants
to afford profits for the owner,
but as soon as the surplus is
used the soil (the banker) must
either refuse the draft and cause
a crop failure or he must draw
on the reserve for future crops,
leaving an impoverished account
for the present. - Farm and

have all the good times possible, only
keep the love-making out of it.
Then ! would not go to public
places for refreshment after theaters
or after dances unless chaperoned or
with a crowd OF at least six or eight,
and some of them should be oldef

you cannot be too careful. The boys
will have far more respect for you

how hard 1t is, do 1t and you will not
have any heartaches, and they are
bound to come if you permit things

taken III Probate Court here to-
day to collect the amount of the
policy and bring the matter to a

mainder of the policy after the
debt of $3.50 and interest has
been paid will go to Reynolds
