one case affairs are too often al
lowed to slide; in the other, life be-
comes a dreadful, horried grind. ="
A right judgment is a royal gift from
heaven. Rub the baby's back by all
means; he will digest better, sleep
better, and behave better; but re-
member that he is new as yet and
unhardened; his skin will be tough
er later on. Stroke the family cat;
she likes it, but stroke in the direc-
tion indicated by nature. There is
all the difference in the world be-
tween a spit and a purr. Keep the
carving knife sharp, as you value a
peaceful meal, but incline it always
at the proper angle to the steel.
Sharpen the family wits also by iu-
dicious rubbing against each other
but interpose occasionally and very
dexterously drop of oil Keep the
family wheels whirring, but beware
of hot boxes, Put a polish upon soft
surfaces, but use cotton waste or soft
flannel. not emery paper.

REAPS PROFIT FROM HOGS.
Successful Farmer Realizes Over ST
a Bushel for Wheat Fed
to Porkers.

In our last issue we stated that
one hog, which weighed $50 pounds,
was sold by Charles Langbehn and
brought him nearly $50. Mr.. Lang
behn. now informs us that he sold
five hogs at the time and they aver
aged 556 pounds, or a total of also.
The price paid was s cents and the
five porkers brought him $222.4O.
Mr.. Langbehn says with proper at
tention hogs can be made to pay a
better profit than any other farm
commodity, and that he realizes more
than 81 per bushel on all the wheat
he feeds them.
Besides the five sold on the mar
ket he has another five promised to
the same firm, and while they will
not average quite as much as the
first lot, yet they will bring him

Why Not Director of Public Recre-
alton?

In the September Woman's Home
Companion appears a report of what
is being done in Portage, Wis, to-
ward taking care of the boys and
girls of the town. Portage has 5000
population and has the commission
form of government. The three COM
missioners who. govern the town
have passed 8 o'clock curfew ordi-
nance, with the unusual recommend
alton that steps be taken for supply
ing the children with some whole,
some recreation for earlier hours of
the evening.
AS a result of this action of the
council mass meeting of parents
and Others interested was held, and
a committee was appointed to pro-
vide some wholesome recreation.
This was difficult, but the town
pulled together to solve the prob
lem. The local company of the Wis
coIfsin National Guard offered it's
armory rent free; the city furnished
the heat; the business men raised
the money for the incidental ex-
penses; and volunteers were secured
to direct a grand march, basketball,
baseball and other indoor games. A
committee of wideawake women were
chaperones. The opening evening
was attended by 500 children be-
tween 8 and 16, and by scores of
parents, and the show was all over
| by Curfew time.
In addition to this opening of the
armory large empty room is being
secured and fitted with baskets, and

We give it up. 1t may be Just be-
cause most men forget their own

Keep Your Chickens Home.

A dispatch from st. Louis, Mo-, to
the daily press says that a chicken
trespasses at it's own peril. If it
stumbles onto a piece of bread plas-
tered with rat poison and its career
comes to an end, that is the chick
ems own business. The plasterer of
the bread cannot be held to have
violated the law, even if the bread
was placed on ones lawn near the
favorite scratching ground of ones
neighbor's chickens. So advised
Thomas Stanton, assistant prosecut-
ing attorney in the dispute between
William l.. Kluesner, chicken fan
cier, who complained that Mrs. Mary
Parrott admitted all the above, but
she claimed she was within her
rights and the Judge sustained her

Among all elevating influences.
that of a happy home is the most
permanent. Every clean home is an
influence for good in the community.
Every ideal home must possess beau
ty as we'll as cleanliness and kindli-
ness. Every happy home should
shed its refining influences abroad.
Every good home is an educator and
adds immeasurably to the sum of hu-
man happiness. Every home should
be faithful guardian of public NOR
ality, the surest safeguard of the
public's future.

Parents, we would say to you when
you are blessed with good girls, ap-
preciate them. Today is the time to
do it while they are hovered beneath
your wings. Do not wait till they
are gone, perhaps forever, from the
home nest. If you love them, let
them know it. If you have an in
terest in their welfare, let them
know it. If your girls are ambitious
and want to gain for themselves a
position in life, help them, for it is
your duty to do so. If your girls
want an education, give them all the
chance that lies in your power to
acquire one.

Homes are training schools for cit
izens, and only as they teach patriot
ism in the fullest sense of the word
are they doing their duty by the
country in unstinted measure. The
family table is the family rallying
place, and it is we'll, therefore, that
meals should neither be taken in
silence, nor occupied with frivolous
gossip; they afford the parent and
the children meeting ground
where they may come into close SYM
pathy, and where they may receive
stores of knowledge while the bodily
needs are attended to.

1t is a fine thing to stand in the
midst of busy belts and whirling pull
leys, with the knowledge of their
governing laws in your brain, and
the quick control of them in your
right hand; but it is finer and
grander to stand among the living
spirits which are to dominate the
wheels; pondering the laws of human
agency, directing the development of
human activity, bearing the supreme
weight of human responsibility; do
ing it all in utter unconsciousness of
self or of sacrifice, strong in the
wondrous love which alone of earthly
emollients is all persuasive and all
powerful against the grind and wear
and worry of the world.
