GOOD AND BAD DAYS.

Good days and bad days exist
only in your own head. The wea-
Their has nothing to do with it.
Each day is what you make it for
yourself. Bad weather is only an
unfortunate opinion. It's what
you think and feel about it that
makes each day what it is. Yes,
within yourself, can make each
day, every day, a good day. Put
down in the notebook of your
soul the poet Runeberg's thought,
Each day is life" When you
get up in the morning throw back
your shoulders, take a deep
breath. Meet the new day like
man. Say to yourself:
Another day-another life Il"
For all We know, it may be the
only day we'll ever have. Let's
make it the best day we can.
Let's strive to see that it is a
day worth while, Lets move
q step forward in our work.
Let's do all the good we can.
Let's get all the happiness we
can today. Now is the only time
you can control. Yesterday is q
record. Tomorrow is a secret.
Today in yours, is mine.-The
Morning Star.

IGNORING 1.-THE UNWRITTEN
LAW

The day when the so-called
"nnwritten law" can be used as
a shield to prevent justice FROM
being done and the laws of our
state held in proper awe and re-
spect is fast passing Seldom
a day goes by we do not read Of
jury putting aside this "unwrit
ten" plea, which is generally
used by defense lawyers as the
only hope they can entertain for
acquittal. Human life is sacred F;
it is something we cannot give
back once we take it; it is some
thing that is not only dear to us,
but to our loved ones, and fer
an impulsive, headstrong and ex-
citable person, acting upon the
spur Of the moment, or during a
period when the mind is far from
rational, to snuff out a life as if
it were but a candle and then
plead "unwritten law" to save
his own life-well, the American
people are not willing that this
prac tice should be allowed to
continue unchecked.
We often witness in a murder
case, particularly if a woman is
the defendant or a party to the
case, great display of maudlin
sympathy. 1t is natural that we
should sympathize with any one
in trouble; but is not this SYM
pathy not misplaced? Would it
not better be bestowed upon
those who mourn beside a new
mound in some cemetery-mOth-
ers, wives, sisters or other help
less and innocent victims Of
some murder where an "unwrit-
ten law is the only basis of de-
tense IL. C.. Times.

RAT-PROOF CORN CRIB.

A reader asks: "How shall l
make a corn crib that will be rat
proof?' -.
Set it On concrete pillars three
feet or more high, and all around
level with the floor put a flashing
of roofing tin, projecting ten
inches. Sheathe under the floor
joists, and fill in between the
joists with small water-washed
gravel, and floor above that. Rats
cannot cut through round gravel.
The steps must be hinged at top
and have a pulley to hoist them
out of the way when not in use.
Make the crib away from OTHER
buildings.-W. F. Massey, in The
Progressive Farmer.

DON'T KEEP THE CHILDREN
OUT OF SCHOOL TO PICK
COTTON.

|, Any man can easily prepare
and plant more land in cotton
than he can pick; and without
the women and children to help
him pick it the acreage III that
plant would necessarily have to
be greatly reduc ed. But when
we keep the children out Of school
to help save the cotton crop we
are committing a double crime
against them. Not only are we
rendering the soil poorer, but at
the same time we are depllvln5
them of the opportunity OF secur-
ing that education which will be
doubly necessary to them IN or
der that they may make a living
from the soils that we have al
ready exhausted. The fields OF
our beautiful Southland are to-
day filed with children, each one
bending his little lack and work
ing his little hands and brains to
help destroy and reduce his own
chances of making the living that
we should assure him when he
grows to mans estate. Better
have less cotton and let those
little backs grow straight and
strong in play and have those
eyes and those brains employed
in the schoolhouse that is now
empty.
We owe it to those children
that we shall leave them strong
bodies and hands and minds
trained and fitted to the best of
our ability to fight life's battle.
With these things we can rest as
sured that they will win for
themselves a good living; while if
we deprive them Of the opportun-
ity Of securing these things. we
can rest assured that the home
and the farm will only be theirs
for a very short time Without |
the education of which we have
deprived them, how will it be pos
sible for them to make a living
on the worn-Out land that we will |
leave them?-The Progressive |
Farmer.

BETTER CARE FOR THE IN
SANE.

We reproduce the following
from the Natchitoches Times
anent the number of insane con-
fined in our jails and the urgent
need for immediate relief by the
State:
eve had occasion a short time
AGO to comment on the fact that
numbers Of insane persons are
confined in the .ails throughout
the State because there is no room
for them in the State Asylllms.
We expressed the opinion then
that the confinement Of these
poor creatures ought to be re-
garded by the people of the State
as a blot on its fair name and We
appealed to the press Of the State
to take the matter up and agltate
it NATL the evil is remedied.
We regret that 50 far as we
have seen, no notice has been TAX
en- of this matter by our ex-
changes and We therefore agln
express the hope that our great
contemporaries Of the city press,
as well as our country cOntemp-
oraries, will take this scandalous
condition of affairs under cOnsld-
Grafton and give some expression
of opinion as to what can ami
ought to be done to remedy it.
1t certainly is primary func-
ton of the press to give publicity
to "rievious conditions like those
under consideration and to en-
deavor to create a public senti-
ment which shall be so weighty
and insistent as to compel action
on the part of the Legislature at |
It's next session.

SOW OATS BY OPEN-FURROW
METHOD.

In those sections where oats
are apt to winter-kill, and es
pecially if the seeding is done
after October first, we believe the
Open-furrOw method is the proper
way to SOW fall oats.
We are often asked, what is the
"olon-furrow' method of sowing
oats? Formerly drill was made
and used that opened one fur
row and put out one row of oats,
but now drills are made that open
the burrows and put out two or
more rows of oats, IA to 10 inch
es apart. A moderate sized fur
row is opened and the oats de-
posted at the bottom of the fur
row, only being covered by a
small amount Of soil that rolls
down from the sides of the fur
row. AS the rains and freezes
come, the soil continues to fall
down around the oats and heav-
ing by frost is overcome. More
over, the young oat plants being
protected b the sides of the fur
rows. do not freeze so severely
and are rarely winter killed. 1t
is rare that oats sowed in the
ordinary way, either broadcast
or with the ordinary grain drill,
are not injured more or less, and
more severely than when sowed
in the open furrow. Expert
ments indicate clearly that the
open-furrow method is the best
way to put in fall oats.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

GET THE FACTS ABOUT THE
EGG SUPPLY.

Viewing the matter either
from the side of the cold storage
men or from the side of the con-
sumers. the egg situation presents
deplorable economic aspect. II
il be true, as the storage people
allege, that there is a great short
| age fully justifies the advances
contemplated, then it becomes
clearer than ever that the Amer
lean people are negligent OF one
of the most necessary and most
important of their industries.
On the other hand, if the supply
is ample, if the shortage is arti-
fetal, forced by cornering the
supply, then it becomes clearer
than ever that the laws for the
prevention of food monopollza-
ton and eXtortion are made
quate.
The only tangible figures thus
far are those obtained by the
Housewives League in New
York. From a bureau at Albany
comes the information that OH
Sept. / of this year there were
stored in the State 739,Oo4 eases
of eggs. These eggs it is claimed
by the president of the league
event into storage last April at |
IS and 20 cents a dozen. They |
could be sold now at 30 cents.
On the strength of this assump-
ton a movement to hold eggs at
80 cents has already been
launched, and it is said that
something like 100000 women can
be Unlisted in it's ranks.
Prices of eggs vary III differ
ent parts of the country, of course
and there is also wide variation
in quotations covering the differ
emf grades. But eggs in common
use sell in New York, Boston and

at prices running from 45 to 90

that unless the advance can be
