WANTS THINGS FOR HIS OWN
Desire to Possess Property Is Inherent
In All Manklnd-6oy Desires No
Partnership Affair.

The average boy believes firmly in
the principle of the private ownership
Of personal property, writes Thomas
w. Lloyd in the Mothers Magazine.
He would rather be the sole possessor

ed affair in partnership.
In fact, the desire to own something
to possess property-is inherent in
all mankind. And mothers should en-
deavor to foster this desire. 1t will
not only increase the boys happiness,
but will teach him the value of acquisi-
ton within proper limits. He should
have his own playthings, his own tools,
his own books. his own clothes and a
place of his own in which to keep
them.
A boy who is permitted to do this
will take better care of things than
if owned in partnership, and he will
learn eagerly to have a place for his
things and to keep them in their place
And this is valuable lesson. Do not
make a younger boy wear his older
brothers clothing which the latter has
outgrown. If it can be avoided OF

cent counts. this cannot be helped. Ev.

Give him his own bureau drawer and
at least portion of a closet and teach
him habits of orderliness and system
in the care of his possessions. These
habits are easily learned when young
and their value to the man of business
is incalculable

SOMETHING TO THINK OVER

Thinks He ls-One Result.

1t is affirmed that you are what you

If you think you are what you think

But if you only think what you are
In truth you are more than likely to

If you think you are what you are

So, If you truly want to be what

TWO NAMES WERE THE LIMIT

string of middle names If they so de
sire, although the majority stick to
but two Christian names.
In the sixteenth century, however.
middle names were illegal in England,
and, in accordance with the strictness
of that period. no infraction of the law
was admitted.
Royalty were the only privileged
persons in this respect. If they really
wished to possess a middle name the
law relaxed its severity and granted
their request; but woe to the ordinary
commoner who exercised his own au-
thority and gave unto himself more
than two appellations.
The whipping post was his punish

 Last years crop ne,ted growers $35, ,OO0, ,000. Eleven million went to the railroads in freight and refriger- ator charges. At the beginning of the season this years crop value was estimated at $5O,0O0,OO0.
