of patrons and trustees. Teacher,
patrons and pupils all realize that
golden opportunities are being offered

They will determine your status in
this life, and upon them is based all
hope for the future. Let US remember
we only have our youth once and if we
let those precious moments glide by
unimproved, some day, not very far in

great has ever been accomplished with
out toll, privation and cares. There
is something grand, more sublime,

WEST HILL.

At evening when the lamp Is lit
Around the fire my parents sit;
They sit at home and talk and sing
And do not play at anything.
Now, with my little gun crawl
All in the dark along the wall,
And follow round the forest track.
Away behind the sofa back;
There, in the dark, where none can see,
! spy,
All in my hunters camp lie
And play at books that have read
Till 1t it is time to go to bed.
These are the hills, these are the woods,
These are my starry soitudes,
And there tie river by whose brink
The roaring lions come to drink
30 when my nurse comes in for me
Home | return across the sea
And go to bed with backward look
AT my dear land of story books.

diligent application while young we
form foundation from which we af-
terwards derive greatest benefit and
sweetest pleasures, and from which we
will ultimately twine garlands around
our brows.
For pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, its bloom is shed.
Or like the snow fall in the river,
A moment white then melts forever.
Or like the borealis race
That fit ere you can point their place.
Or like the rainbow s lovely form
Vanishing amid the storm.

Farmer Gets More Money.

cause SO large proportion Of the peo-

we give the totals. The farm value ni

but directly to the farmers OF the com.
try
The five year average production Of
wheat for the five years previous TO the
two years considered has increased five
per cent but the farm value has I'M
creased fifty per cent. or from sixty to
ninety cents per hushel For the same
periods corn has increased in production
thirty three per cent. in price; farm and
factory value; potatoes have increased
ffty-six per cent. in quantity and thirty
per cent. in price; farm and factory
made butter has increased eight and six
tentis per cent. in quantity while the
population has increased twenty-one per
cent: the average farm value Of eggs
has increased from IL cents per dozen
t. 1913 cents: and wool from 1915 cents
per pound to 22.6 cents
Still the farmer will tell yon that
times are hard for him. Probably this
II true as the price Of farm labor has in
creased during this period and is hard to
secure even at the advanced prices. But
ii certainly is reasonable to ask the
farmer to explain why he cannot make
any more money now with this great in

Trials of comnositors.

They tell OF Scottish compositor
who fed from Edinburgh to London
in order to escape the brain exhausting
ordeal of deciphering Carlyle's hero
glyphics and putting them into type. He
had been at work in London for some
time. when one day a take" Of Car
lyle's copy was given him to set up.
The sight Of 1t appalled, him. "Is that
man here. toov he exclaimed. Where
upon he laid down his composing stick.
put on his coat and hat and vanished
Balzac's copy was also a nightmare
to compositors. According to the Lon
don Standard. the failure of the estab-
lishment that printed his works was
the direct result Of the enormous labor
spent in making corrections In the
proofs of his manuscript What 1t
meant to put his copy into type Is
shown by the fact that Cesar Birot-
teaur had to be reset fifteen times In
twenty days.
