EXERCISE YOUR MIND.
Good Hard Thinking Will Help You
Mentally and Physically.

Exercise your body if you will-that
10 you a great deal of good-but. what
ever else you do or neglect to do. keep
thinking. The well established law of
the physical universe that Il machine
tends to rust out more quickly than to
wear out holds equally good in the psy-
chical sphere.
1t is no mere coincidence that most
of the great thinkers of the world.
whether in philosophy. science, indus
try, literature or the arts, have lived to
be old men despite the fact that in
youth they were in many instances
the fact that the majority of them be-
gan to think, began to exercise their
minds along the lines in which they III
timately achieved greatness, while they
were still young. There is here preg-
nant hint for parents.
Whatever aptitude, whatever special
interest, your child chances to display
encourage him in it. Don't deaden his
desire for knowledge, his instructive
tendency to think, by Indifference, by
failure to answer his inceSsant bonn
bardment of questions. Rather thank
God that your child has an active mind
and set about training him in the prop
err use of it, Teach him the principles
of observation, of analysis, of synthesis
the principles, in short. of truly effec-
tive thinking Accustom him to think
ing things out for himself and seek to
interest him in whatever it is well for
him to know. You need not be afraid
that he will overtaX his mind. No
child's midland no mans either-is
overtaxed by anything in which a real
interest is taken.
The trouble with most of us is that
thing We have interests, to be sure.
but they are diffuse. thin. weak-they
do not grip us. That is why compara-
lively few of us ever think in the true
sense of the term. That is why when
we are called upon TO do anything in
the nature of sustained mental effort
we are overwhelmed by doubt, fear,
worry, and mayhap have finally to call
in the doctor with his sage pronounce
ment, Poor fellow. he has been think
ing too hard" In point of fact. we
have not been thinking at all simply
because we have not been interested
enough to think
Let us get truly interested in some
thing. no great matter what it is, and
we shall find that we can think about
1t easily enough. And. thinking about
1t-defnitely. tirelessly, earnestly think
ing about tive shall find ourselves
grow both in mental and bodily vigor.

Samuel Richardson. the first English
novelist, began his literary career by
acting as scribe for a number of young
women, for whose correspondence
with their sweethearts he frequently
supplied not only the words. but the
sentiments. His reputation for this
kind of composition led firm of
printers to propose that he should pre-
pare complete letter writer for the
use of "those country readers who can,
not indite for themselves" Two or
three of the epistles written for this
purpose suggested a separate story,

P. A. 33-S. H. S. 20

Last Friday evening p. A. lined up
against the Spauding High School team
at the local gym for the last basket ball
game of the season. During the first
period the audience was given an exhibit
ton of real basket ball. AS Durham
took part in the town team game on We'd
nesday evening, he was allowed to play
but one period Friday night. how
ever Substitute Morrill,, who took his
place, played good "heady" game and
helped break up good many of Spauld-
ings plays. at the end of the first peri
cd the score stood II to II in favor of
p. A.
! In the last period Burnham came back
to his old position at right forward, "BilI"
Best making the place at left forward and
something happened, the ball being drop
ped into the basket four times in less
than two minutes. Spaulding seemed
like Grammar school team for the en-
tire period, and when the whistle blew
for time p. A. was the winner by score
of 80 to 20. q
AS we compare P. A, s work in the first
period to that of the last, we cannot help
forming this conclusion-had P. A. s line
up been the same in the Montpelier High
game on the previous Friday evening as
it was during the last period last Friday
evening, Montpelier would have undoubt-
eddy gone home defeated, leaving P. A.
good show for State championship.

Do not pull, nip off, or knock out

down because he does not pay enough
attention to the individual and wants
to consider everything on a flock

Personally, / think that a man

to have at least forty acres of land,
and he should remember that feeding
chickens is just like feeding any other
class of live stock. You can make
good profit II they are used to market
your grain; that is, if you produce the
grain and sell 1t to the chickens at
the same price that you would get for
it at the elevator, your profits would
be likely to be good IL your manage
ment is good. If, on the other hand,
you have to buy all the feed so that
the middleman makes a profit on the
grain, your chances of profit are great
ly reduced. This is true of all lines
of animal feeding. You can afford to
buy some feed just the same as you
can feeding other live stock, but l
