ual exercises enable us to look into

THE rule of silence gives play to a

and heart busted with the basic rela-
tons of human life. The appeal is to
the whole man, and its object is to
give special strength as well as light
for the upbuilding of the character. 1t

Combat Social Unrest.
The primary purpose of the retreat
is; of course, to mend and strengthen
souls; but there still another side
upon which the spiritual directors ex-
hortations touch with emphasis. The
growth of social unrest and anti
religious social theories in the United
States hos been source of much ap-
prehension to the clergy. Socialism is
growing rapidly, and the church is
combating positively and actively the
features of the Socialistic propaganda
that are directed against doctrinal and
moral teachings. AS a result, part OF
the work of the Laymen's League for
Retreats and Social Studies, under
whose auspices the retreat at Mount
Morensa is conducted, has established

VALUE OF THE LITTLE BIRDS
They Labor necessarily in Fields, De-
stroying Many Injurious and
Destructive Insects.

The birds are the best friends that
the farmer has. Why? Because they
labor daily in the farmers fields, de.
stroying the insects that destroy or
feed upon the tender plants OF the
fields. Have you a friend that will
labor in your fields daily destroying
these insects just for his board and
clothing? No, indeed; you cannot
place your eye upon but one friend
that will do this for you. That is
the little birds which are being slaugh-
tered by you in large numbers. Why
do you not try to protect these friends
who are so faithful to you, when they
ask you for no pay for services rem
dered you in your fields, destroying
insects that injure your plants, Simply
because you have not stopped to think
over the matter as you ought to. Do
you not realize that they are worth
hundreds of times more to you as in
sect destroyers than their flesh is
worth to you in a bird pie or In some
other way?
Farmers, it is time to wake up to
the fact that these little bird friends
must have better protection. Why?
Because they are needed more and
more every year. AS people increase
and the clearing of more lands in
creases, the insects are bound to in
crease very rapidly, because they feed
mostly from the farmers fields. AS
insects increase, why should not the
birds increase also? Simply because
they haven't had the protection that
they ought to have had Some of
the species of birds that used to be
found in large numbers are now very
seldom found at all, simply because
they have not received any mercy
from the hunter, and because the
laws are not strict enough on this one
special thing.
Every farmer should feel it lis duty
to urge his lawmaker to do all in his
power to pass law that would give
his little friends in feathers better
protection. A law should be passed
in states having no such law, prohibit.
ing the killing of these birds under a
heavy penalty and Imprisonment for
violation thereof. If this were done,
you would see a great improvement
in crops and fewer insects. Good
enforcement depends largely on farm
ers.

PREPARING FOR SPRING WORK
ments In Good Order to Be-
gin Work at Once.

Have the plows, haIrows, cultiva-
tors, drills and rollers in order for
spring work. Lay in few extra plow
points and bolts. Have the harrow
teeth sharp. Extra whif11etrees and
some good hame strings should be
provided. The seed oats, corn, clover
and grass seeds should be bought this
month, so no time need be lost when
the season opens, says writer in the
Baltimore American. Buy and haul
the fertilizer you need now. IL the
pillow or harrow is worn out, it will pay
to buy good steel pillow and a spring
tooth harrow and two-horse cultiva-
tor. A corn planter and grain drill
may be hired for Is cents an acre. If
you only plant ten acres in corn and
seed a few acres to oats it will be
cheaper to hire than to buy these i'm
plements. Only buy those implements
you really need Farm sales take place
this month, and good implements may
often be had at less than half the orig
inal price. 1t will pay to buy If you
need the implement, but do not buy
it because it is cheap, nor because you
can buy it on time. The note soon
falls due and it often comes due when
you are short of funds. Do not ask
your neighbor to go security, If the
bank will not accept the note with
your wife as indorser, dc not buy.
This is sound advice and IL followed
will save you lots of trouble and con-
siderable money. Do not go security
for anyone. 1t is wrong, as you may
ruin yourself, and oftentimes your
family as well. A good-natured. easy
going farmer had better remain away
from farm sales.

SHE TOLD WILSON AT 10,
HE WOULD BE PRESIDENT
Prophecy of Mrs. Mary Russell, Who
Was President Elects Teacher, Is
Recalled by Her Brother.

Joliet, Ill, Nov. s.John G. Baker of
Manhattan was the happiest man in
Will county over the election of Wood
row Wilson to the presidency because of
a prediction made by his sister, Mrs.
Mary Russell, more than forty years
ago.
Mrs. Russell was Wilson's teacher
when he was ten years in Tileston school
in Wilmington, s. G., and at that time
predicted that the boy would some day
be president. She did not live to see her
prophecy fulflled-dying three years ago
at Leesville. N. c., at the age of eighty
four.
As token of his esteem Wilson pre-
scented his teacher with a little fretwork
picture frame, which is now in the Baker
home. Mrs. Russell watched Mr.. Wilson
grow to fame and with each advance
changed the picture in the frame. When
she gave the frame to her brother she re-
you will want to keep this, for when
he gets to be president you will be very

Baker said that Wilson's father the
Rev. Joseph Wilson, visited him at Man

where Woodrow gets his smartness."

MAGAZINE REVIEW
Two Hundred Billion Different Rates.

! In the November American Magazine
Albert W. Atwood writes an interesting
article about "The Express Bonanza" in
methods employed by the express COM
panies as compared with those in use in
the postoffioe department. Following is
an extract showing the amazing COM
plexity of that part of the business
which has to do with rate making and
rate guessing:
"In the division of express rates and
tariffs of the Interstate Commerce com
mission there are eight shelves each
about l20 feet in length. or 9G0 feet of
library shelving. Including place to
place rates and the combination of
rates which shipments from one COM
pany to another produce, there are no
less than two hundred billion different
rates. only one of which is the right one
on any given shipment. Compare this
with the postoffice system of rates which
requires less space than the palm of
your hand or even with the schedule Of
parcels post rates in Prussia which re-
quires but little more space.
81 suppose no man living knows how
express rates were originally made or
could say definitely how they are made
now. is the hopeless statement of
Joseph Zimmerman. general traffic man
ager of the Adams Express company.
But at another hearing an old official
testified that formerly the method of
making rates consisted chiefly in sizing
up the shipper. If a man walked into
an express office with a package and
looked as If he would pay 81. such was
the charge. and If be looked as if he
would not pay 81. then 81 was the
charge. OF course that was long ago,
but one Of the chief rea sons why pack
ages are overcharged. double charged,
