UNITY IN THE HON f..

The happiest place on earth should
be the home. A place of rest and re-
fuge, of peace and pleasure, of love
and JOY. A home is all this where the
family is united, having the same pur-
pose and working for the same end.
There is not only strength in unity
but blessings unnumbered Family
unity is the basis of family prosperity,
as national unity is the basis of ma
tons prosperity.
1t is unity that makes the happiness
of home. One discontinued disloyal
member can spoil the peace of a house
hold and make place of torment
where paradise should be.
There are many sins we can and
must forgive, but disloyalty to father
or mother, sister or brother is the
act of traitor and should be despised
as such. III those who belong to us
have faults, let us hide them in our
hearts that the world will not find
them out. If misfortune comes to the
one member of the family, let all share
1t and help the unfortunate one to keep
IA proud face to the world. Let rs be
true to our own. Loyalty in friendship
has been the theme of poets, but 10y
atty to the home and household is the
farest of virtues and covers multi
tude of faults and folies.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE.

''If things were to be done twice, we
should ali be wise. Ben Johnson.
There are lot of people in this
world that am sorry for.
There are the poor rich folks, who
don't know how to have real good
time, and then there are the poor poor
folks who never have chance to have
any; there are the hidebound people,
who are so wrapped up in conventions
that they don't know what life is, and
there are the natural born discontinued
folks, who chase happiness out of their
homes whenever it tries to get in,
But when think of them all, there are
none any more unfortunate than the
folks who have the habit of fretting
over mistakes.
So long as we live but one life-that
is, so long as we can remember but one
life, I'm not so sure that we live only
one-mistakes have just got to be made.
So long as we are all doing things
for the first time, buying our clothes,
building our homes, choosing our vo-
cations, getting married, raising child
rem, etc, etc, we are just naturally
bound to think we could do better a
second time. But, unfortunately, quite
often there is no second time. And so,
when anyone acquires the ''if only
habit and gets to breeding over how
happy be might be ''if only" he had
chosen another profession, bought
different house, married the other girl
he's inviting unhappiness to come right
into his home and be regular board
er. And she seems to be lady who
doesn't wait for the second invitation.
One of the happiest women | know
is a wife who undoubtedly chose the
wrong man for a husband. If she had
the "if only habit she would be the
most miserable woman in town. AS it
was, she resolutely put the mistake be-
hind her as soon as she realized she
had made one, and now she puts good
front on everything, enjoys her child
ren, endures her husband and gets the
very best out of her life as it is.
Mistakes have just got to be made by
all of us. There's no getting around
that The only way to get ahead of
them is to do as this woman did, put
them behind you.
Make up your mind that you won't
make the same mistake twice. that you
won't rush to the other extreme and
make the opposite mistake; that you
won't let any mistake-well, is there
any Legitimate equivalent for get
your goat" because that's Just what
| want to say-and you will surely
have a head start in the race for hap
piness.-Ruth Cameron.

cause some one ridicn!es or opposes

will be sure to have opposition in this

right ahead If your cause is right and
your conscience clear. Don't bother
yourself about what people say; life is
too short for that Some will abuse
you through envy, others for the want

honestly differ from you; but If you
keep right on openly, manfully and in.

An idle and vacant life, even with all
the aid amusement can give, is not
calculated to be happy one; and this
simply because Providence has consti-
tuted us with view to activity, as
that was to be the means Of accomoda-
ting the raw materials Of the physical
world to our needs. Idleness, there
fore, Injuries and discrepancies, while
activity alone will preserve health and
proIong life. Who are the happy peo-
pie of this world2 Those who have
something, and not too much, to do;
that something being suitable TO their
tastes. Who are the unhappy onesY
Alas What large portion of the class
is composed Of those who, having all
their needs supplied from other sources
do not need to labor.

ment of the engagement of Miss Hazel,
daughter of Mr.. and Mis-. Ira Kind, of
Sheboygan, and G. F. Howe, of Canada.
Miss Kind is we'll known here where
she has visited on number of occasions
as guest of Miss Anna Beuhlemann,
The date for the wedding has not yet
been fixed.
Frank Kretchie, who recently estab-
lished the Manitowoc Broom works on
Chicago street, sold out the business
Saturday to Paul C. Manskey of She
boygan. Mr.. Manskey will take charge
of the business this week. Mr.. Kret-
chic found it was too big an undertake
| ing to handle his confectionery bust
| ness and give the proper attention TO
the broom factory, and concluded to
dispose of the latter.
If sound apples, free from worms or
scab, are desired it is necessary to
spray orchards thoroughly with prop
er materials and at the proper time,
declares Prof. j. G. Moore of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. In Wisconsin,
the codlng moth, which produces
wormy apples, and the apple scab, are
most likely to cause trouble. BY com
bining poison with bordeaux mixture
or lime sulphur spray, one may spray
for both these pests at the same time.
Bordeaux mixture is made by dis
solving 3 pounds of copper sulphate in
% gallons of water and carefully slack
ing pounds of lime in another % gal
Ions of water, then mixing the two
solutions to make 80 gallons of materi-
al. The lime sulphur spray is prepar-
ed 10y putting one gallon of commercial
lime sulphur in 80 gallons of water.
Add two or three pounds of lead arsen-
ate to every so gallons of either of the
two spray materials or else one-half
pound of paris green to SO gallons of
Vic lulAbuIO.
The first application should be made
when the buds begin to show. lmme-
diately after the blossoms fall, spray
again, making sure that the material
is forced into the cup at the blossom
end, as 80 per cent of the first brood of
codling moth enter the fruit at this
point. This is the most important
spraying of all. A third spraying,
about 10 days later, will kill late worms
and at the same time tend to keep
apple scab in check. In wet seasons
favorable to the growth of fungi, at
least one or two late sprayings for
apple scab must be given. These may
be without the poison. An application
for the second brood of cooling moth
should be made between July 10 and
30, using either paris green or arsen-
ate of lead.
For the ordinary farm orchard a
good hand pump, a lead of spray hose
% to 40 feet long, a bamboo extension
rod, and good nozzles are necessary.
The nozzles should produce a fine mist
so as to cover the tree completely with
a fine film of spray material. 1t will
be found very convenient to provide a
nozzle with curved connection to al
low the spray to be more easily thrown
in different directions.
For bulletins giving more complete
directions, address the College of Ag-
riculture.
