81 am for the newspapers which is
merely another way of mentioning
the fact that am in public life. The
public man who fights the daily press
won't be a public man very long -
Woodrow Wilson.
One thing we like about Wilson is
that he can tell such scintillating
truths in SO few words.
The above is the literal truth. VIII
son Is for the newspapers and they
are for him. Which is merely another
way Of mentioning that he is for the
public and the public is for him.

If the new directoire skirt, just

want outside jobs. They'll be
after a chance to be out on the
street, looking around a bit.
The overskirt is slit and the
rnderskirt is mostly network,
with unusually large meshes.
Under the new mode, the follow
ing domestic incident may be
common:
. What makes you late to sup.

marks, and sheds a gentle tear.
'sThe steak is spoiled; the coffee,
too, is cold, and if I did not love.

NEED OF WINTER PROTECTION
Cover 10 Valuable Chiefly In Prevent
Ing Evaporation-CuItI
10 Needed In Fall.

(By c. B. wALDRoN, Horticultural
North Dakota Agricultural Collsse.)
The protection afforded woody
plants In winter Is valuable chiefly
IN preventing evaporation. as the de-
gree Of cold could not be largely A.
fected.
Aside from protecting the plant.
what can be done to lessen the drying
up of the twigs? Since there 10 such
fatal tendency for woody plants to
give up their moisture during the win.
ter months, one would naturally In
fer that such treatment - would a.
able plants to begin the period q
rest with the maximum quantity Of
moisture would be the best. This q
omphatically true. Trees and shrubs
that are neglected during the latter
lpart Of the season 20 that the ground
becomes hard and dry, ripsn their
wood prematurely, and unless fall
rains are abundant. the drying procesd
sets In before winter begins, leaving
the plant in poor shape to endure
further drying. Moreover, the roots
which should have had the encourage,
ment OF loose, moist soil until tho
end of the season, that large num-
Der Of new and active roots might dc,
velop, have been practically at stand
still. The root-hairs, which live but
a short time and need constantly to
be renewed, are not In existence and
the young roots themselves become
dry and inactive. A plant beginning
the winter in this condition can make
but a feeble start in the spring at the
best and not many experiences OF the
same kind are required to make the
result fatal. Compare the big firm
buds on the twig Of tree that has
had the advantage Of deep moist
soil and good cultivation to tho end
Of the season with the thin, soft buds
found on a tree growing in hard, dry
soil and that has, on that account,
ripened its woods premature1y. These
buds are next seasons branches and
contain the next crop Of fruit and
their vigor or weakness II matter
Of greatest importance.
Fruit buds Of many plants do not
form till toward the close OF tho grow.
ing season and then not at all II the
cultivation be lacking or bad.
In general, then, that fruit plants
may thrive, set fruit buds and endure
the winters, give them deep soil
naturally mellow and moist and cul
tivate it from the beginning till the
end OF the season. There is occasion
ally something said about stopping
cultivation in August so that the
plants may have opportunity to ripen
up their wood for winter There nay
be regions where this is good advice,
but our experience and observation
have let US to just the opposite con-
clusion and practice for the north
west. When winter once begins to
settle down upon the land in North
Dakota. even the trees have sense
enough to detect it, and the sudden
ness and completeness with which
they close up their summer affairs
and get into winter attire suGrosts
that they need no aid from III in the
matter. Indeed some of tho plants
that defer this change tho longest
nGo the buffalo berr and lilac, are
among tho hardest We have.

If the money contributed for road
taxes by the farmers of Delaware
in the last fifty years had been
used intelligently and systemati
cally in furtherance of good roads.
says our esteemed contemporary,
the Wilmington Journal, we would
have had by this time complete
system of good roads in all three
counties and the value of our farm
lands would have been doubled as
a consequence. 1t is, time for Della
ware farmers to wake up on this
good roads proposition. They
should demand something worth
while for the money they contribute
in the way of road taxes. About all
they get in return under the present
system in most of the districts is a
little bit of blowing, rounding up
and dragging and that goes on frtm
year to year. In other words, they
get nothing lasting for their money.

While many churches in agricul-
tural districts are struggling to
wipe out .he load of debt over
them, says the Milford Chronicle:
the action of a small district in
Canada might afford the ladies in
terested in such matters an idea of
value In the district referred to
the ladies all agreed to contribute
all the eggs laid on Sunday during
that entire year towards paying of
the Indebtedness of their church.
This seems to sound all right; the
hens continue to do business on the
Sabbath day. and their act created
additional revenue, which can be
devoted as a thing for the church.

Maryland has a law which i'm
poses the penalty of the lash upon
men who beat their wives, and in
sentencing an offender, the other
day, Judge Elliot of Baltimore said:
"The wives of Baltimore are en-
titled to protection, and they can
count upon getting it from me-"
Zone vigorous application will pre-
vent many wife-beatings,' says the
Baltimore American, land there is
no reason why a wife-beater should
not be given a dose of his own med
icine, or why some of the sympathy
in the case should not go to the help
less victim Delaware has sp-
Piled corporal punishment to crimi-
mails for more than a century, in
certain offences, and several years
ago extended the application of the
lash TO men convicted of beating
their wives. But for a long time
there were no convictions under this
amendment to the law. Recently,
however, two offenders were tried,
convicted and the punishment visited
upon them. There is no doubt this
enforcement of the law will be regu-
lar, not exceptional, hereafter.
so we may expect that brutes who
would beat their wives on light pro-
vocation if they believed they could
get off with the penalty of fine or
Imprisonment will stay their violent
hands now that they have reason to
a.y " :. sas-l sg!SlIs'', Of. the
fear the punishment ~x'rs lash.
There is no doubt that sound public
sentiment sustains the infiction of
corporal punishment upon wife
beaters. In no other manner can
such brutes be properly punished. =

those to whom He comes, according
as they recognize and minister to
Him or fail so to do. These world
wide legends convey a sacred truth.
Everywhere there are those in distress
and trouble, in frightening whose lot
we may exemplify the Christ spirit.
Just as in proportion as we take it
upon ourselves to extend to those
who are less fortunate than we,
something of the joy of the Christ
mas season shall we honor the day
and be in harmony with its spirit.
1t is an old lesson, often preached
and, to the credit of humanity, be it
said, often practised-yetit is one of
which we need to be reminded, lest
in the whirl of Christmas plans and
pleasures we forget to act upon it.

Christmas

1t is a fact of obvious significance
that Christmas is the one festival Of
the year which we celebrate by the
giving of gifts. Other days we keep
in other ways, but the expression of
the Christmas idea takes the one
peculiar form, and so nearly univers-
al is it, that throughout the whole
Christian world the character of
trade is influenced by it, the most
extensive preparations are made for
it, and streets and stores for weeks
beforehand wear holiday aspect.
In what way, indeed, could the great
est, freest Gift in the history of the
world be so fifty commemorated as in
the making of gifts? How could the
Babe of Bethlehem be more truly
honored than in making Christmas
the brightest day in the year for
children? And, even though we are
ndluly COIlSClOIS VI Vic 1dCG, Wll1C
are the good wishes of the season,
which we exchange on Christmas
Day, but the echo of the angels song
with its message of peace on earth,
to men of good will?
But there are gifts-and gifts.
1t is quite possible to keep the out
ward form of Christmas observance
and to lose it's spirit. Let it be
remembered that the spirit of Christ
mas is pre-eminently one of unselfsh-
ness and sacrifice. This it is fel
which the day stands. When we
give only in the eXpection of receiv-
ing again, when we go YEARLY
through lists of presents which repre-
sent merely past or present anticipat-
ed obligations, or when our bestowals
are limited to those of our own
households, we enter but imperfectly
if at all, into the Christmas spirit
Among all, or nearly all, Christian
nations there are legends which
represent the Christ child as reappear
ing in some form of want or neet
and bringing happiness or misery tt

last Monday evening, bringing with
him his fair bride. We extend our
most hearty congratulations, and
that their life may be like the day
more beautiful in the evening: like
the summer-aglow with the promise;
and that happiness and pleasure may
be their lot in the new life they are
just entering upon. is the earnest
wish of all.
Holiday shopping is the business
of the day now, and will continue so
until after New Years.

every care and attention that could
be bestowed upon him, death ensued
before the train reached Coaticook.

Christmas is once more upon US,
and it is the pleasing privilege
of the HERALD to greet its readers
with the wish that the Christmas of
each and all of them may be as happy
as each and all can desire. How that
may be only the individuals own
heart knows, for there are many
among us to whom the return of
Christmas now only means the return
in memory of "the touch of a vanish
ed hand, and the sound of a voice
that is STILL" a sadness which not all
the succession of the years can turn
to joy. For others, happily, it is not
so, and we hope they will make
merry while they may.

Mrs. Mary Cobleigh Benis
CONTRIBUTED


The passing on to the unknown of
a character like hers, is deserving of
more than passing notice.
She was a self-made woman, born
in those days when, to the majority,
it meant a struggle financially, to
havea higher education; but, notwith-
standing that, she filled noble place
In the world. Her life was full of
good deeds; her greatest pleasure and
happiness, doing for others; always
ready to do everything within her
power to relieve the sick and suffer-
ing, regardless of her own health
and strength. A noble spirit, a cour-
ageous heart, and faithful friend
has passed on to her reward.
Truly, it can be said of her: "She
hath done what she could; it is a rare
soul that has left u.s.
Today, in the gentle splendor
Of the glorious autumn moon
Perfect in sunshine and fragrance
Although it is long past June.
Again is the doorway opened,
And the house is garnished and
sweet;
But she silently waits for our coming,
And we enter with silent feet.
A little within she is waiting,
Not where she has met us before;
| For over the pleasant threshold
She is only to cross once more.
The smile on her face is quiet,
Flowers are on her breast;
Her hands are. folded together
And the word on her lips is rest"
And yet it looks like a welcome,
For her work is comprised and
done;
All things are seemly and ready,
And are summaries just begun.
But we cannot think of heridle,
For she must be a worker still;
God giveth that work to the angels
Who fittest the task fulfil,
And somewhere, yet, in the hilltops
Of the country that hath no pain
She will watch in her beautiful door,
way
To bid us welcome again.
