TN the northern land of Sweden,
where the young girls have fair
compilations, light hair and blue
eyes, there lived a man named
Jacobson. He had gathered some
means by hard work, which would de-
scend at his death to his son John.
Old Jacobson was especially DESTROYS
that his son should at his marriage en-
nance the family possessions by taking
a wife with a dowry equal to the ia
cobson inheritance, but John sadly In
terfered with his fathers plans for him
by falling in love with Lucy Peterson,
one of the blue eyed, light haired, fair
complexioned maidens before mention
ed. Lucy had no fortune in prospect,
and, as for a dowry, there was no n
to give her one. for her parents and
all her relatives were poor.
Nevertheless young Jacobson inter
viewed his father on the subject, only
to receive the alternative of giving up
Lucy or being d~isinherited. John would
have chosen the latter had IL not been
for Lucy. who would not consent to
the sacrifice. Her lover pleaded with
her, but without effect. She said that
a dowry was necessary.
Old Jacobson was very much inter
ested in a new church. the only edifce
for religious worship for miles around.
There had been subscriptions and fairs
and all manner of devices whereby to
raise money for Its building. and when
II was finished every one was tired of
the struggle. The consequence was
that the church remained without a
bell. and everybody knows that a
church without a bell is like n clock
without hands. One day when young
jacobson was trying to induce his IA
Their to relent and permit him to marry
Lucy the young man said:
How much of a dowry do you re
quire, father?'
II happened that the old mans mind
was at that very moment on the def.
cient church bell. You may marry
Lucy" he said. 'if she will provide n
bell for the church. 1t must be the
size to fill the tower provided for 1t
and must have 20 per cent of silver In
its composition"
John turned away disheartened. He
knew very well that Lucy had no mon
ey for such a purpose and that the re-
quirement was equivalent to saying
that he could not marry Lucy at all.
When he saw his sweetheart again he
told her what his father had said.
She made no remark at the time. but
the next time she saw John she said:
do you love me well enough to
wait for me for a long while?'
Il will never marry any one else"
John replied.
Very well. Go to the crossroads
just beyond the church. There In n
deserted garden you will find a corn.

are ripe. and bring them to me-"
John, wondering, brought her the

Need of Winter Sports.

A mistake made in most public play
grounds and in recreation movements
generally is that no provision is made
for winter games. Indeed, We need
sports in winter than in summer,
says Leslie's. Everybody lives put of
doors in the warm weather, and 1t is
not important that they play games SO
long as they enjoy outdoor life. In
winter the tendency is to house up"
to get out of doors 40 more than is
necessary. The usual spring indisposi-
ton is due solely to the sluggish indoor
life of the winter months. Vigorous
outdoor games and exercises, appeal
ing to the play instinct, would consti-
tute a public health measure of great
significance.

Verses S-11.-The promise of God.
The authority that was vested In man
at the creation was again renewed aft
er the deluge. The divine ~benediction
was recognized as the source of fer
tility, prosperity and success. Man
was now recognized as +: flesh eating
being, and the lower animal creation
was placed at his disposal. He must,
however, be careful not to eat blood
or flesh from which the blood a not
been drained. He was also charged to
regard the sanctity of all human life.

next spring planted them at n end
of her fathers garden. When the. au-
tumn came she gathered so much seed
that there was not room for even al
small portion of IL In the garden. She
took II measure to one farmer, another
measure to another, and so on until
she had exhausted her seed. asking
them 10 plant the kernels and telling
them that the crop was TO 60 to buy
ing a bell for the church. They wers
all interested and gladly did ~ she
suggested.
The next autumn there were a num-
Der of farmers who had seed to spare,
and Lucy gave the surplus TO others.
and the next spring there was not Al

did not plant "A portion OF his ground
with corn for the church bell. But
long before this all knew that they
would not only get the bell for the
church, but that Lucy. whom they all
loved, would get her lover for a hus-
band. Another year passed. and the
crop was Sc large that il was with
difficulty enough prepared ground was
found TO plant ii. but there were rea-
sons why every one should help to the
utmost. and every kernel was planted.
And so the increase went on till nc
the end Of the fifth year the whole
crop was sold. and there was plenty of
money To buy a bell large enough to
ht the tower and with a greater per.
centage Of silver In its composition
than had been stipulated.
Old man Jacobson was so delighted
with Lucy's plan that he willingly full
hiled his promise. though so great was
the interest in the matter among the
FARMERS that II he had not they would
nave turned him ont of the church.
But II was decided that the maria re
should not come off till the bell had
been cast and put into the tower and
that Its first strokes should celebrate
the wedding of the one whose Dlan had

is YOUR STOCK FED RIGHT?
Everything Depends Upon the Proper
Mixing Of Rations.

There are some things all farmers
should know about the food they give
their live stock. All farmers should
know that hay which Is coarse and
fbrous overtasks the digestive powers,
Irritates the mucous surface Of the
stomachs and bowels and may lead to
a torpid condition of the stomaehs or
when It acts on the bowels may lead
to the development of d~ysentery. Tim
othy hay may be OF good quality for
feeding horses. but when fed TO cows
especially those which do not get ex-
ereise. 1t will produce u constipated
condition OF the bowels. Hay given
TO cattle should always have n good
deal OF clover in II. This for the rea-
son that II has a nice laxative influence.
Food which is finely divided. such
as cornmeal and fine middlings. fed
alone. is not adapted for the digestive
organs of cattle. II does not pass read

auently gives rise to sever attacks of
Indigestion. When fine middlings and
corn are used they should be mixed
with chopped hay or what Is commons
~ known as cut feed. as this tends to-
prevent those finely divided foods from
elogging together and giving rise to
fermentation In the stomachs. and
they should even then be used in mod
crate quantity. The chemical compost
ton OF a food Is not always a safe
criterion for estimating its value. Its
digestibility must be considerations

FOREST FIRE SAFEGUARD

The plan to further safeguard the
Angeles national forest in California
from devastation by fire proposed by
Supervisor Charlton involves a contin-
uous watch of the San Gabriel canyon
back to the desert, an area Of about
400. 900 acres.
The Federal government will coop
crate with several private concerns to
place constantly on guard a ranger
whose business it will be to make a
complete sweep of the section by the
aid of a high power telescope that has
been furnished by the agricultural de
partment. Upon discovering a fire the
guard will telephone to a series of sta
tons within the radius of the terri
tory and instant aid will be forthcom-
ing. The companies asked to assist
will be required to furnish and equip
about twelve miles of telephone line.
and a ranger to be constantly on guard
in a station to be erected by the gov
eminent on a mountain peak in the vi
cinity of Glendora.
This ranger will have a map of the
region constantly before him and. upon
the first intimation of danger from a
forest fire, which he will be able to see
many miles distant. will fash to other
rangers the exact location of the blaze.
This win be secured by employing a
system of levels.
IL Is expected that this new system

For Keeping Doors In place.

The best way to hold rolling doors
to their place at the bottom is to build
up with concrete and make a race
where the door may run free, yet can
not get out of. This prevents the wind
swinging the door outward at the bot
tom and slamming it against the build
ing. Wind destroys more door and
door track than any other n thing

Every mans home is the best old

Every mans child is the best little

The best behaved and the neatest.
Every mans baby is better than all
The babies that ever were born
And just so its babies and wives and

Why let 'em all blow their horn.
Every mans wife makes the finest

And every mans wife bakes bread
That beats all the bread that ever was

Every mans home IS the best to see
The finest housekeeping on earth
And just SO its bread and preserves

Let 'em keep on with their mirth.
When every man thinks that his own

And his own wife sweetest, why

Well swing back into the golden

OF heaven on earth again,
And isn't it beautiful fine and sweet,
That faith of a man in his child,
And his wife and his home and his

That he boasts of undefiled.
When every mans home Is the

When every mans child is the dear
