THE WORTH OF RIGHT HABITS

Perhaps there Is no single factor in
the training Of the boy or girl aside
from the fundamental traits Of ODE
dience and honesty that will have
more to do with their success In life
than the habit Of doing we'll and thor
oughly the task that is set for them.
1t is very easy for the child to get into
a slouchy and disorderly way Of doing
things. and when this is observed the
parents should do everything possible
to correct it. for unless it is righted 1t
will crop out in school as well as IN
business pursuits. and in houseWork
later on. 1t takes time and pains to
aid the child in the forming OF right
habits Of work. but the effort II per-
sisted In is we'll worth while.

The potato canker. fungous disease
that is akin to the potato scab disease,
which has. been known In England
since 1901, has made its appearance IN
Newfoundland. and 1t seems reason.
ably certain that. except for most riga
precautions. this worst OF potato pests
will shortly gain a foothold IN the
United States. The canker causes the
potatoes it infects to become a hass
of warts, losing both their shape ana
value for either seed or eating Pur-
poses. A characteristic that makes IL
most difficult to combat is that the
spores of the canker. once lntroauceu
